Can't help thinking dialling emergency services should trigger a force close of everything non-essential on the phone.

The key for me is being able to spot when it's happening and either ignore it or (better still) click away.

I can only speak for myself, but I use it for loading VST plugins in Linux.

Have you seen the kind of disgusting comments the average female gets on YouTube? I think this is a good way to sidestep that.

What AAA games would even run on an M1?

You and me both, but I think we're the minority. I want bell-and-whistle free ICE cars when I buy but those are becoming harder and harder to obtain.

Not for me. Just gives me more of the same.

None of this works for me. I get constant recommendations for (what I consider to be) asinine lifestyle videos, and music videos completely unrelated to my interests. It doesn't matter how many times I say I'm not interested in K-

Yeah. It reads like a 2nd grader's writing. My brain is thinking the author has run the sentences on after the paragraph breaks. Really tough to read.

Which is exactly what the article said.

I don't recall printers changing all that much since the early 2000s at all. I mean they added USB, WiFi, Bluetooth and other such things but the protocols to talk to them largely remain the same. There's only so many ways to tell

Why post here and not a PR if you think there's a bug?

In all fairness, that's one example. There's probably some outdated stuff that still requires IE.

Do you play Minecraft? If so, drop your username right in here and we'll happily test that watertight FAQ for you.

You kinda wasted your time there, since I work in one of those very industries and know most (if not all) of this. I just asked whether you really thought it works be worth the major players' time. The use of the word 'niche'

"I've touched all of these areas in my career, and they all require those connections you are so quick to dismiss out-of-hand." I hear you, and I'm usually first to remind people that their own use case is anecdotal and

I feel the same as you, but the article isn't aimed at us. It's aimed at people who do use it, and possibly rely on it for connections etc.

Telemetry is the lifeblood of malware detection so I'd be surprised if they didn't.

You're dead on. I hear this from 'power users' quite often. Not sure what they're expecting to see from a virus.

"What's unique about the UK is that unlike actually civilized countries (incl. the US)" I needed a good laugh today, so thanks.

I have a work-issued Precision 7510 that is the antithesis to what you described. I'm with you on the 'laptops that look like glass' thing.

I'd concur on that last part, for sure. As a Linux user, the fit and finish of MacOS really doesn't appeal to me. The hardware, on the other hand...

Worse : You Google a question and realise you yourself asked it many moons ago and it never got answered.

I took it as tongue-in-cheek but as a desktop loving dinosaur I couldn't help feel mildly personally attacked :)

I've had a couple of things that wouldn't always pair. Some headphones, a Bluetooth mouse if I recall. I just chalk it up to the freedom I get from using Linux and just move on.

I can only speak anecdotally but I comment on the drabness of car colours every time I'm out driving with a passenger. It's extremely noticeable.

The only part that really makes me shudder is the thought of working to align with Amazon's 'principles'. Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

You tried buying a used car in this market? Even junk commands a ridiculous price tag.

Not just from them. I really despise the short video format and the culture that surrounds so I can't take an unbiased view on this. I'm sure there are many others like me. Something would pop up in its place anyway.
