I think it is to be expected by Apple to remove 2 of those 4 in the next generation, or one afterwards. It's a logical (to them) step towards cable-free computing, which is great and all, but is the only way towards it forcing it throu

The standard was adopted by IEC in 2016. How many years more do you reckon we should live "in the future" and use dongles because "one day we won't have to"?

I was slightly irritated by the same - what's the logic behind such branding? Imagine "Orange Mobile" using purple as their primary brand color...

If it "simply" allows you a feature that you want and that did not exist otherwise - and there doesn't seem to be anything remotely simple about it (wireless, low-latency, filtering the input noise, etc) - it seems only norma

Total world expenditure on science projects of any kind at all is downright negligible compared to biggest expenses, such as military, as pointed out...Life conditions, solutions to pollution, most harming diseases etc, could all be fairl

I don't think anything can speak favorably about our impact on endangered species... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recently_extinct_mam... That first graph sure is dramatic....

I agree and I think similar reasoning is behind some of the working groups for AI that Musk and others advocate for - "let's make sure that if we're breaking new ground, we're doing so with proper ethical and safety stan

Because these problems for humans started existing with absolutely modest level of AI development and nothing remotely similar to super-intelligence. So the argument is - if we have serious problems now as small-level, narrow-focused AI &qu

Fully agree - I believe one of the core stated issues about writing in a non-gendered way when the "preferred gender pronoun" is known is that is it can be considered rude and disrespectful to the persons identification. And, to m

Well, if you do fairly normal web development nowadays, that includes running a couple of local services (database, backend) and containers, iOS / Android simulator, VS Code, webpack dev server running, Chrome, db management tool, Slac

Ooh, 2advanced - as a high-school kid, I must have starred at versions of their "website" for more than 15h in total, in awe, and trying to soak in the pure awesomeness, hoping that it would affect how good early versions of my si

Hah, I agree...But, on the other hand, you can carry it when needed, and I do regret not buying one of those for work instead of Razer Blade, "because it's thin and light" - it gets overly hot and noisy when doing heavier w

I think Lenovo (together with other questionable actions that alienate their userbase) removed the option to choose Linux for workstations, so it comes only with Windows 10. But Thinkpads are traditionally very well supported on various Lin

I worry that this will be a deciding excuse to paint them as pure terrorist evil and shut them down - "they're not only helping TERRORISTS organize, but now also transfer large amounts of money for their operations"

Forgot to add - and you get a decent display, and it's portable, and it's still cheaper than MP.

Actually, P53 and P73 can be specced with all of those - and more. Up to 128GB RAM, Quadro graphics, 3 drive slots/bays (2 NvME, 1 2.5")...And the chassis is not compromised for thinness, so cooling is adequate.

Writing this from basically a 3rd world country, Serbia, which you might have heard of in context of a series of armed conflicts, civil wars and highly corrupt governments (current one being orders of magnitude worse)...Even after all that,

I, too, don't understand the hostility...It's not like they pulled parts of the code out and closed it (looking at you, Elastic), or even have "enterprise" paid features - they just want to prevent AWS et al. from hugely

Umm, how does Apple foot the bill in such case? They charge exorbitant amounts to replace (not repair) parts and it was shown time and time again that they try to overcharge by replacing more than just the undamaged parts...

My concern is that any pushback on attacks on vaping just allows more room for more people to continue saying / believing that it's "ok, not 100% harmless, but almost completely" - enough so for the rise in nicotin intak

The relative IPC performance is impressive, since with (a big surprise) much lower base clocks (e.g. ~1.0-1.2Ghz vs ~1.8Ghz of previous gen) and slightly lower boost, these are getting slightly lower, equal or slightly better results in CPU

For the sake of argument - what about more alive people, but with more dead animals / species and with failing ecosystems if something would not go quite as foreseen with crispr method? That question is becoming more and more important

Genuinely curious - is there any reason why person would potentially prefer a less smart dog? I always thought that, the smarter they are, the better companions they can be, so your comment got me wondering.

While I don't particularly agree that it's totally acceptable for a static 404 to need JS, I also don't really follow your concern for security. I've been browsing the web since 1998 and not once has my machine been comp
