This would be not the first case where the rules are "bent" for the sake of Djokovic family: https://birn.rs/teniski-centar-novak-do-novih-kvadrata-uz-us... (unfortunately I couldn't find the source in English; in short, they got some premium Belgrade land, which was initially planned for a public park, for their tennis academy)

Considering his god-like status in Serbia, this wouldn't be hard to pull off at all.

> repeatedly exit a low wattage deep idle state to update the UI

There's a considerable difference in doing that once a second and dozens (hundreds? thousands? depending on how it was implemented) times a second, which I would assume what the previous default ("smooth") setting meant.

Frankly, I think far more performance problems nowadays lie in things like insane SVG/CSS animations for every possible loading spinner than in developers not knowing their O notations.

Legal circumstances of giving away data of your previous employee aside (which might be very different here in EU), why would my new company rather trust my previous company's bad-mouthing HR than me? And if so, would I be willing to work for such a company?

You don't _need_ to know, but it's human to want to know, and it's also human to want to satisfy other human's curiosity, especially if it doesn't bring any harm to you.

Also, your post is not really answering any of GP's questions. I presume you wanted to say that FB doesn't _owe_ any explanation to us, but the GP asked, as they already provided one, to whom is it addressed.

Just a rough translation of "Když chcete být slavní, musíte něco dělat tak blbě, že tak blbě to nikdo ve světě neudělá". "...you have to do something in such a silly manner, that nobody in the world did it so silly" or such.

this is not really true, especially considering the second-hand market.

Another cheap solution is buying a used router and then installing OpenWRT on it. Get one with USB.

Why would anyone need to care who sits in the management? The trust was broken by a company.

As a Balkanian living in Germany I can confirm, it is quite hard for us to get used to a German level of stoicism.

How would any measures at storage layer prevent, for example, issues in caching?

Hey, thanks for responding! I know it would take me some more weekends than that! :) Have you documented the process somewhere in greater detail perhaps? I'm working on something relatable on my weekends, also involving PCB design and enclosure design/printing (albeit on a more amateurish level of course), so I'm very curious about other people's experiences.

Sequence diagrams, as probably most other UML diagrams too, predate UML.
