Top-Center is among the most useless screen real estate. It takes just about the same amount of space as the keyboard language selector a bit to the right, or any one of the menu items to the left. And those two interface never fill up to t

It’s always been the rule in the German-speaking world that websites had to disclose someone responsible, both on-site and in Whois. It’s a continuation from the analog world, where even flyers handed out at a protest have to state someone’

No. "Pump[ing]" by buying something is entirely legal. And the price should come down just as much when you are trying to cash in, so the mechanism doesn't really work, or anyone with enough money could just do it repeatedly

At some level, you have to trust the information you get. There is also good reason to trust it, especially when it comes from a large company such as Boeing: it is stupid for such an organization to lie to you, because it risks its existen

A screenshot of the full page at least used to be rather difficult to achieve. I know I've seen the feature recently in either Safari or Chrome, but I'm not sure if or when it became standard.

I'm not sure if things have changed, but at least a few years ago, Apple prices for display replacements were really quite fair and far below Samsung, IIRC. Something like $ 150. I'd also be interested in some statistics on the fr

I'm using it on one of the Pro XDR displays, and it's quite impressive for the cheapest notebook to drive this monster of a pixel-wielding behemoth with zero issues or complaints... (2732*2048 + 2560*1600 + 6016*3384 = 30,000,000

That's unlikely. Everyone got the same amount, but taxation which (eventually) pays for it, is progressive. Someone with no income will pay aa few % in sales taxes etc when they spend the cheque. As you go up the income ladder, others

Inequality in the US is far worse than any comparable country, i. e. Western Europe, Canada, NZ, etc. All those countries have higher taxes and would be considered to be more actively involved in the economy. Here’s a nice chart: https:&#x
