I believe you are correct here. The same has happened to CNN, MSNBC and other cable channels during the elections while the viewership of FOX is now larger than CNN and MSNBC combined. What is particularly interesting is that Hannity is now

There's pretty interesting options that we didn't have before with Magsafe. You can connect a single USB-C port to a monitor that has a USB-C video in. This monitor will then charge your Macbook and on top of that if the monitor h

Lenovo has some nice hardware, I used it for years, but the problem is that their own software is unusable and the OS options are lagging, at least for me. Yes you can install Linux, but I'm not going to pay a premium price to then spe

Angela Merkel is right for once here, these companies can and do influence public perception and even elections. This is seen in the current US election where all except for Facebook quite overtly try to suppress the conservative viewpoint.

After reading the comments here before the article I expected something inhumane about GS's treatment of their employees, but I couldn't find it, I'm mystified. Is it about the fact that they didn't announce it company w

I guess Airbnb did not do what most industrials do - bribe the politicians. In societies where large parts of the economy are either owned by the government or directed through regulations the only way to advance is to corrupt public offici

I personally will mostly use it as a desktop replacement where I connect only one cable that goes to an UBS hub, monitor and will also charge the MacBook. Mouse and Keyboard will be Bluetooth which I already use and that works well for me.

A business owner could claim that trade secrets are involved in almost every sector. I've seen companies treating their (very basic) plans for Facebook ads as if it was classified information, putting a guy with a USB stick on a plane

I wonder what a principled position on this matter would be. On one hand everyone is free to trade freedoms for gains (usually monetary - every contract restricts both parties freedom), but on the other hand you can't trade certain fre

You seem a resentful, agitated and vengeful as some of your statements border on the insane. ("UK openly promotes xenophobia" -> ????) I doubt it makes sense for me to engage in a discussion with you.

Or you could actually try and read Article 7. It does nowhere state that you can sanction a country without breach of fundamental laws like basic human rights. And the most you could do with this Article is take the UK's voting rights.
