Not actually subjective. Massively superior to avoid all that unnatural wrist movement, and trackpads enable multi-finger gestures of all kinds that a mouse can't do. Meanwhile you have more precision with much less motion. And for thi

Split keyboard doesn't solve the mouse issue. Doesn't even address it. But a trackpad does.

The weak link in all these setups is the mouse. Hilariously weak. "You can use your hand like a hook supporting your arm, with your hand itself transferring the weight onto the edge of the mouse pad." Really? Seriously? This is on

Please don't even start with that. Just don't. Trust me. And no, it's not sexist.

Aluminum is renewable. So is glass, of course. And no, Apple is actually doing all they can to keep old iPhones from being tossed in landfills, including designing custom robots to disassemble them so that the components can then at least t

Hard disagree. If you need more convincing, please review the drunk-driving fatality stats.

Not realistic. This requirement applies not just to bartenders, but to anyone who takes drink orders or delivers them. Your waiter/waitress needs mixology training? Not really.

Google accounts can be restored for at least 30 days after deletion. Should be quite easy. No yelling necessary.

I visited the USSR in 1990 and ate at that first McDonald's in Moscow. People were deliriously happy. It was a hopeful time. And such a beautiful country. The most amazing architecture; shockingly incredibly museums. We seem to have lo

There's a reason Apple has sold over 300 million pairs of AirPods, even though they are expensive.

At which point they'd say "Android-x86 is not Android" and hang up.

"Decent interface" is actually very, very hard. That's why a lot people are willing to pay $179 for Apple TV 4K.

On the contrary, if the OED were available as an app for any reasonable price, or even a somewhat-unreasonable price, I would download it instantly for my phone and tablet. 600MB or even 900MB of storage would be well-spent.

I have the compact OED as well. I will never give it up. The wonderful magnifying glass included with the set is still in perfect condition after thirty years of ownership. You can still find these in used bookstores. If you're very lu

You're "not sure" how much cheaper SpaceX launches are because you clearly and obviously didn't take 10 seconds to research before running your mouth. That info is readily available. You're also understating Tesla&#

No, he didn't "get there" with this behavior. Elon's unstable erratic mini-Trump phase is relatively recent. Tesla and SpaceX were well-established on their current paths well before then.

Please cite examples to support this, er, rather extraordinary assertion. Which prominent left-wing figures have acted like Elon Musk and have been "completely forgiven"?

"Splitting hairs"? Trump's words and actions KILLED PEOPLE. I think you need to get some perspective. You're a fluent speaker of English. Please don't pretend not to know that "call to arms" is an idiomati

You're forgetting how sensitive this location detection is, these days. Let's say you are moving in a direction roughly parallel to the circle carved out by a given signal strength. You could move quite a long ways without RSSI fl

He's been proven guilty. He did it on live tv. The fact that he still has enough political power to avoid execution for sedition, or any responsibility whatsoever for this crime, does not have any effect on the truth value of my statem

He was right about the Internet, too, very very early, and gets zero credit for it.

You mean Thunderbolt only. Not USB-C. Let's credit Apple for what they actually did, which was to go with the non-shitty port from the beginning even though it was expensive and everyone mocked them for doing so.

Well, that exists, it's called Thunderbolt 3 (or 4, since PC makers decided to try to get away with a shitty half-version of TB3). And the cable exists too, but you have to pay through the nose for it, and people expect all cables to b

WaPo's coverage was indeed excellent. The best that I read anywhere, overall. Good call by the Pulitzer board.

Hard to explain such a tendentious and careless take, especially when you apparently didn't even take the ten seconds necessary to check whether you were even right about your basic premise.

You do, but I have consistently found that you actually hardly ever have to do that, if you keep them clean. Certainly way, way less than the manufacturer insists that you have to. In any case, whether you agree with me or not about this de
