I detest this take so very much. It's as if people have forgotten that laptops were perfectly capable for that most loathesome of words, "consumption", for eons, thank you very much. I can connect my laptop to enormous monito

Good question, and one I'd like to see discussed more too. From my point of you, your point "a)" is the one I never choose. In my opinion, one could rarely write something for that audience which might be novel to them. Perha

Don’t mind me saying it, but I’ve always found this comeback insufferable. It is smug, especially since it is overused as an argument terminator all over Reddit. In this case I actually agree with your “side” of the argument, but not the co

I can’t say I agree with this assessment. There’s good Thai food in NYC, but probably less so in rural New York. In the same way, there’s amazing Thai food in Berlin, but probably not in rural Bavaria. Also, in your average Italian city, th

Yes? Housing is infinitely better than the US, job security can be better, work life balance is better, cities are nicer to look at, architecture is better, people are more active, fitter, have lives beyond work. The bread is better, so is

You've spent a lot of time arguing yourself in circles. Unless you can show that it sells like hot cakes because it's locked down, your argument holds no water. It might sell because marketing, because nice hardware, because g

You know what I'm against? This modern trend of newsletters. This is what _I_ would call Superficial and Simple(-Minded). These legions of me-too wannabes trying to get you to Subscribe to theirs so you can receive their "3 pithy

Thank you for your suggestions! Two comments recommended Access, so I will look into it. Your progression is extremely logical, so thank you for it. I think this is the way I will go. From within Excel, the issue is I have several files, so

Congratulations? Now, what does that have to do with anything? Oh wait, you thought that just because you were speaking "your truth" it should automatically be used to override research, discard statistics, override policy and mak

I'm going to assume your comment is in good faith. In which case, yes, they are more important than almost anything else. Modern humans spend more and more time indoors, and this has catastrophic consequences on our mental and physic

I was disabusing him of the notion that he might be the smartest person in that room. Smartness is across various axes, for one, but mainly, the presumptuousness and the sheer confidence of the assumption rubbed me the wrong way, not so muc

I'm not sure you appreciate just how insufferably arrogant a sentence like "I can safely say I was the smartest person in the room" sounds. Especially when you follow it up by calling yourself "a smart detailed person&qu

Drivel. I feel used having read this article. Used into getting enraged at the lack of respect the author has for their readers. Used into reading cheap clickbait that, at worst, is a shitty and throwaway attempt at eyeballs, and at worst

It's concerning to read your comment on this post, since it suggests you were unaware of all these issues people were facing with Google cloud. Was there not much cross talk or discussion of what issues the customers were experiencin

What's TV got to do with anything? Your whole argument is wrong. People have written books and books about how a technology encourages a particular way of interacting with it and discards the rest. Youtube carefully encourages addictiv
