I'm sympathetic to that point of view, I loved NT4 too. I really liked the warmer shade of gray in W2K, but to me the biggest improvement W2K had over NT4 was the ability to revert to the previous display setting if you didn't co

I still like my Model S quite a bit, but Tesla cars have always looked a little dorky to me, models S, 3, or X (I'm not sure how I feel about the Cybertruck just yet). I certainly didn't get mine for the look. They sure look muc

Sure, any opinion different than yours must automatically be propaganda, right? What does China censoring its media have to do with anything, besides advocating for the same kind of censorship on HN? The aggregate activity of accounts like

Ideally yes. The police could've been more professional and handled it better. But they are not robots, they are human beings too. I'm not say that makes them right. I'm saying I can understand why they stayed on the sid

It helps to know a little bit about what's been going on in Hong Kong, before you all decide to line up and take your daily dump on China. It all started a few months ago when someone committed a crime in Taiwan and fled to Hong Kong
