The strategy isn't even that different from e.g. Germany or Austria (I use these countries because I've been following them more closely). Yes Germany and Austria closed more shops at the beginning to stop exponential growth. Now

In Austria it's illegal to wear a face mask if it's not cold enough or for special cultural activities that are "tradition" thanks to the last right wing - far right government.

Yes you can have buttons to change volume and brightness. In fact the icons next to the slider are buttons you can tap to lower/increase volume/brightness. Or you can configure them to always show up as buttons without slider.

"Keys" on the touch bar are more dynamic. Buttons can have different width, you can show text, sliders for e.g. volume. It's not a 1-to-1 mapping.

I may be in the minorty and like the touch bar. Intellij, Outlook and Apple's own programs integrate it very well. Phyisical keys are great but 12 buttons labelled F1 to F12 with different functions depending on the program also isn&#x

Do people in the US really drive to through the country that often? I guess people drive maybe 2000-3000 km a year for holidays, e.g. to skiing resorts in winter or to Italy in summer, but even that isn't average. I'd say most of

For my relatively cheap Ikea stove, each cooking plate of my induction stove uses around 1.5 to 2 kW with "Booster" to 2.5 and 3.5 kW. It's connected to three phases and ground through three separate fuses. The oven is separa

I'm a programmer and I like the touch bar. Intellij integrates it quite nicely, I can add terminal commands if I'm in the terminal, switching between email and calendar in Outlook also works well. Sure it also has downsides but ge
