Netflix increase prices. Reddit closes down free API access. Twitter introduces subscriptions. I've noticed that people are quick to react negatively to such news however I feel like all of these services provide a real value and they

Correction. Our debit cards are only mastercard maestro not visa. Maestro is depricated, and soon everyone in EU will have proper international debit cards.

Yes. I pay for Netflix via UPI e-mandates. The best part of UPI subscriptions is that I can cancel them whenever without going to the merchant's website. In Netherlands, iDEAL comes close to UPI as well.

Cheap does not always mean lower quality. It's more expensive to repair an iPhone 14 pro than to buy a mid-range android for example.

I noticed this too when I was trying to search for local opinions like affordable clothing in netherlands and for general recommendations like cloud storage with execellent file management. Without reddit, outdated generic blogs with afflia

This looks amazing and what I am most excited about is that I will actually be able to physically test it thanks to Apple Stores. Maybe Quest Pro is amazing but I don't even know where (if) I can experience it.

I made the comment in context to article i.e. innovation and not out of the box support for UI customization. For desktop customization, Linux provides the most flexibility, against which even Windows 7 wouldn't hold a candle.

The article makes the statement that platforms has abandoned user empowerment, but have they really? Windows 11 certainly has more ads than Window 7 but as a user, I can still do everything in Win 11 that I could in Windows 7. > I also b

It was amazing to see Ding grow in confidence with each match. Kinda reminded me of Vegeta. I hope Ding will continue to grow and start dominating tournaments just like the previous champion, Magnus.

Super stoked to see what the impact of this would be on the Chinese chess ecosystem and consequently on the chess world. Maybe China will host more chess events and in return we might see more prodigies coming out of China.

I took the bullet and completely Microsoft-ied my Windows experience, once. It wasn't great to say the least. 1. Onedrive - File management i.e. deleting / renaming / moving a large number of files is awful. Things break all

Bing's homepage is full of ads and sponsored content aka news. They have rewards in the top bar. Chat only works on Edge. I just directly use ChatGPT instead of going to Bing. I will continue to use the cleaner look of Google, even if

I want my laptop to be more predictable and reliable and with great battery life instead of having more performance. But thanks to turbo boost, sometimes my laptop is hot playing a youtube video but cool when compiling code or the other way

Steam is just a better product, period. It does not spy or beg for your defaults like Windows. The review system is great, downloads are fast, and the community is awesome. No other platfrom provides this.

I thought those chips were inefficient because Qualcomm priotised performance and benchmark numbers over battery life.

Do you have a link which shows the power consumption of all the components you mentioned? I've seen this comment over and over again, everytime an increase in processor efficiency is talked about and yet those gains usually do result i

Stuff like this is maybe one of the reasons why people prefer MacOS now.

A phone is not a car. You can't die by believing in a feature of a phone but you potentially can or be hurt when it comes to a car.

My biggest issue with Windows 11 UI is the existence of both the control panel and the settings app. Often I don't know which setting takes precedence, for example I can create power plans from control panel and also use different powe

What I like about Apple is that they have such a clear product lineup that it allows for speculation like this article. On the other hand Microsoft's surface lineup makes no sense and is super confusing. That's true for Samsung as

I understand that the article is trying to promote robotic space explorations over human one. But we are humans, and even if a robot could do things better than us, people doing those things inspire more people. Having said I do agree that

Ethically I agree and yet it'll certainly be interesting if this strategy works. It may bring in new discoveries on how people organize themselves on social media and how a new social media can be created or destroyed.

Unlike the majority of comments here, I think its fine & rather quite impressive actually. Doesn't it look like how you would normally experiment to discover more about something? You try out several edge cases, observe the results

Occasional issues like these is why I continue to run Windows even though Microsoft has been pulling off all sorts of shenanigans with telemetry, broken file manager / start menu, ads etc. I really want to move to Linux but unless my l

Yes Tesla's website is impressive too. Samsung should also have the same incentives like Tesla and Apple but their homepage is even worse than Microsoft's.

Products need not only be hardware to warrant a clean website which showcases clear product strategy. Having said that both Microsoft and Google have a decent range of hardware products as well. From Xbox to Pixels. Money shouldn't be

The morning context had done a coverage on Ola Electric before. Basically this was expected since they don't have a car even designed yet but they have announced it and their scooters have been underperforming.
