I'm starting to think we should tax the value made out of automation. I feel like it's the only way to redistribute the wealth accumulated by the few actors that will control these giant automated industries.

I have a Thinkpad X1 carbon gen 2 and have absolutely no problem with it. In fact it's an amazing little laptop that I highly recommend if it's in your price ranges. I believe the latest generation of that laptop have a few minor

The world need an open-hardware, fixable printer. Something rock solid, you can buy in a kit, a buy pieces to fix it. Ink should be in bottles to allow competition on the prices. Or as someone else has suggestion, a Dyson printer

I know what we need: an open protocol so that people can chat easily, whichever company you work for, wherever you are... We should call it IRC or XMPP :) Seriously I know XMPP is pretty un-popular, but deep inside I kind of wish it was the

So it's a study about what a 136 person described on a forum? hmm... Not sure we can jump on conclusion nor sure the population is big enough to user decimal points in the percentages.

Except when buying a computer from Apple or Lenovo (or pretty much anyone really), you also pay for the software that is installed on it. Yes you can change it, but it's the equivalent of buying a car and change the wheels when you get

I'm paying for a product, so I expect it to be stable. If it is marked as beta, then the maintainer doesn't consider it to be production quality. If it is production quality as everyone is telling me, then why not removing that &q

I have the exact same storry here. It was apparently evident to him, it's only years later when I wondered how MP3 compression worked that I connected WTF I learned at uni. Never assume something is evident for everyone else.

I wouldn't feel safe until the battery is removed (which unfortunately isn't possible on most phones anymore) The baseband still has access to your battery when your phone is off.

It doesn't really comes as a surprise, but it's good to see the news coming out. Now we need a legal framework to ensure this form of power isn't abused.
