Looks like its hardware support is limited to the point of being nearly useless (under "check what's not supported yet"). Besides, then you've still got spyware under your Linux, so at that point just run Win10.

Chrome OS doesn't give me the benefits that drive me to sometimes use the Linux desktop, so it doesn't really matter whether it addresses any of the (many, serious) problems that keep me from using Linux for everything.

Seriously. If not for Apple's ability to keep apps from fucking with device performance and battery life (too badly, anyway) and to make their OS and overall app ecosystem relatively secure & reliable, I might as well save money an

It is. It's really, really bad. Their platform overall is also a lot less... well, good, frankly. You end up bringing in third party libraries a lot for basic stuff if you don't want life to be a living hell of re-discovering reas

Keeping up with day-to-day or even week-to-week news is very, very nearly worthless to almost everyone. It's just entertainment, barely—if at all—more laudable or improving than watching soap operas or reading airport novels.

It'd effectively make insurers (and everyone else who pays for healthcare) one big negotiating block. The weakest payer gets the benefits of scale of the largest. One might hope that would push prices down. (for the record I personally

Yeah, I checked Moissanite again after the post and it actually has gotten pretty cheap. Maybe $400 for a pretty good 0.75ct. That's more like it, and yeah, probably is cheap enough that it's mostly the cut you're paying for.

I'd guess retirements (in the US, at least) are gonna get a hell of a lot less comfortable, on average, as the years go on. And probably suicides will keep going up as a result. I'm an early (the term I sometimes see is elder ) m

I didn't want to go for the low blow, besides I hold out hope that mise-en-place and clean-as-you-go will catch on one day. [EDIT] and actually I bet we'd both do a better job of keeping it clean, with separate kitchens.
