Not anymore. Now Apple will drop MacOS support for their computers way earlier. I tried to update my barely used MacBook from 2012/2013 somewhere last year and learned that it was dropped quite some time ago - so if I would have kept i

For Apple Laptops, more like 7-8, at least in the old days. Typically you would only replace them when they (gradually) became annoyingly slow for daily use. Agreed, I had to upgrade all of of my PowerBooks/MacBooks at some point with

Interestingly enough, there are drastic differences written in law regarding this. In some countries, you are in fact allowed to keep purchased stolen goods, if they were bought in good faith. While in other countries, you as the buyer can

Maybe I was using too much understatement: The kind of marketing is not only "aggressive", it is overly aggressive IMHO. It is vilifying , demonizing . You can do aggressive marketing all you want, but in my eyes when argument

I don't know man. I was really happy about DDG existing and making an effort (although I am not a user). But they now clearly shifted from a "Noble Actor" to a "Competitor" with this aggressive marketing. I don&#x27

There are different "paths" with different environments (parents). I had plenty of time, and my parents were rather open regarding hobbies/extracurricular activities. But they soon had "given up" on making me do thi

And what happens if trains become significantly larger than segments. Trains cannot occupy a whole track from China to Vienna for themselves, right? You need bypasses, stops, segments, etc. Edit: typo

Except that it is simply not true - the world is not that simple. There are several incentives at play for a doctor. Obviously there are different fields, and dental is slightly weird compared to the others, but first of all, doctors are tr

This also frustrated me when I was using OS X and Linux in parallel when I was using an identical Apple keyboard on both - really messes with your muscle memory. As long as I did not use an external keyboard on my MacBook I was fine. It see

I don't understand the article on many levels... Is it supposed to be hyperbole? - Flatulence is not "you rotting from the inside" - I have friends that have (had) night-shifts back-to-back to a regular shift, and were on-cal

There are several issues in real life if you live in a society where it is the norm. The very least when you have kids and their teachers or any official you encounter assume that the parents have the same name as the kids. (This can&#x27

This is simply not true as stated. Further, BioNTech/Pfizer has also show to have reduced efficacy. The study that all these "simplified" horror-stories in the press are based upon is not giving the full picture. - The timing

ADA is quite good at this. But not every problem (i.e. the Algorithm for the problem) can be divided easily without any coordination (i.e. communication) between the chunks. This overhead can quickly become significant. There is a reason wh

Yes, and the environment (political, societal) you live in might change. People think something like the (East-Germany) Stasi-State is impossible where they live, but it isn't. You don't have to look far to see societies and gover

Look at it this way: I never used WhatsApp. Friends and even businesses I dealt with always asked me if I had it, and why I didn't, and I was apologetic, but firm. Of course I was left out of oh-so-many groups and discussions in the
