A home battery system stores the excess solar energy generated during the day so you can use it at night. It's about long term savings on electricity bills.

Apple isn't deserving of a slice of revenue from game developers because of questionable gaming practices. If anything it makes them complicit. Like a mafia syndicate, they will allow these types of gaming practices if they are given

Way overblown... tell that to a game developer. The privacy and security argument was used time and again by Apple in court as a reason for booting Epic's Fortnite off the App Store for not using their payment system.

The issue isn't about personal preference. It's about the anti-competitive practices of large tech companies that remove competition, stifle innovation and allow monopolies to set the value of their own product rather than the ma

Obviously these types of features are welcome, even though they are apply to an incredibly small group of people. I cant help but feel the 'personal security' push from Apple and its marketing is rather self serving. Apple is und

Why are we pretending that all published stories are presented equally, forgetting the entire history of media and the internet advertising economy in the process.

Ohh it's nothing against online play, except most of the article that complains about online play. You all want to wax nostalgic about LAN parties when most of the time everyone was playing pirated versions of games and burning copies

Newsflash, game matchmaking 100s of players in a single game across an entire country ensuring they have latest patches to minimise hackers and cheats is slower to load than a wired LAN with known peers and zero risk of bad actors. but hey,

Yes rollback really is that good. Guilty Gear Strive is an excellent example of it. Why are you ignore the obvious issue of distance? LANs are great, you just have to be next to each other don't you, which is kind of a HUGE problem.

This site is just becoming ridiculous. You understand what a portable device is right? That you can UNPLUG the laptop from the external monitor and still use it.

This is all getting rather stupid. Laptop aren't for serious work? What planet are you on? You like stationary devices because you like to compartmentalise your life. Well thats great for you, but it's hardly normal.

Aren't you simply justifying the cost of AppleCare+ to yourself? What if they gave you a working product as one would expect at that cost? AppleCare+ is pointless. If they gave you a defective product with no Applecare+? Tough luck? Yo
