Can’t say I’ve had this experience. I run one computer on insider builds and another on stock, neither seem to cause lost settings reset defaults, etc. New progs I guess rarely/infrequently.

I guess centering everything on the taskbar? I mean, one can (and I do) set it back to left alignment, but that’s probably what’s being referred to.

Everyone has a toilet paper tube they can view the world through to save themselves from understanding alternate points of view. I'm sure that's all that "one party" is trying to do, right? Nothing else remotely objectio

They probably (seriously) feel the same way about you. The solution is to stop demonizing and dehumanizing your political opposition and be okay with difference of opinion while communicating. Also recognize it's a tired game of both e

We don’t talk about the Snowden leaks enough. It’s truly shocking what was in there and we’ve all uttered a collective “meh”. I don’t know what SHOULD be done, or could be done, but it’s odd how rarely that data is incorporated into popul

It’s the internet: let’s stop with all the fourth-degree second guessing of hypothetical dimwits which are extreme edge cases when they exist at all, but are mostly the figments of imagination. Most often, this comes across as very hollow a

I would also suspect that as people get older they are less adventurous in their driving habits. Your to/from work commute and grocery trips expose the ol’ jalopy to a very different ecosystem than the road-trips you would do as a youn

The difference between the PC and the Mac through time is a study in contrasts of how to engage independent developers though. As OP said, going back decades Apple has never been a hobbyist platform because of its closed nature to software

Is that a good comparison though?? I mean, an API is a luxury if it’s exposed to the outside world for free, you’re still free to screen scrape Twitter. Or cross post your own feed to RSS. Twitter, like any company, isn’t obligated to facil
