Zoom itself is relatively new. I've only used it once or twice, but if you've been interviewing in 2018/2019, it's basically been the platform of choice for every other interview. I almost always decline to use Zoom; o

I emailed RMS on 2019-02-19, with a subject line, "What's bad about: Zoom.us". Somehow Zoom was missing from his pages as an example of unacceptable software/service (I see it's finally there, but very barebones co

And Art Lebedev also introduced an Optimus Maximus keyboard, where each individual key has a tiny display -- yet every key is still a physical key -- back in like 2008 at CES -- 12 years ago -- with smaller prototypes and announcements for

What about foregoing all the useful ports on the MacBooks, because USB-C is the future, and yet then 5 years later still not being able to use the same headset on both the MacBook and the iPhone? (Because your USB-C headset can't be us

With TouchBar, you cannot change volume quickly without looking at the keyboard, spotlight gets activated all the time as you lay your hands around the keyboard -- yes, it's really that awful for many folk. A lot of people use MacBook

Now in 2020, they actually already offer all keyboard layouts on any laptop in their US store, all at no extra cost -- which is really nice -- you can get a British, Japanese or Russian keyboard directly on any laptop when purchased directl

You can already change the Touch Bar settings in macOS to put back the default keys as would be on the physical keyboard; the problem is that it's still not a physical keyboard, and you get phantom key presses as you lay your hands aro

There's also a lot of deception going on. The easiest way to solve many problems is through lexers, regular expressions and plain-old pattern matching. But that doesn't sell, so, they call it AI anyways.

I'll be special-ordering MacBook Air as my next laptop, because the work only provides MacBook Pro, and MacBook Pro is not available with a professional (physical) keyboard -- only with Touch Bar. I really hope they release an Apple Si

Touch Bar sucks. I cannot wait until they start offering the option to not have the Touch Bar; it's such a gimmick; I bet I'm not the only one who'd pay more to NOT have Touch Bar, but have the physical function keys instead

Yeah, it looks like various interests simply lobby for the time convenient to their own industry. Nevada is indeed more into Pacific than Mountain -- in fact, the whole of Nevada and some part of Utah should be within the Pacific if we&#x2

Are you sure the sellers aren't allowed to disclose the fees? I believe the sellers aren't allowed to charge more on CC than the cash price. Note that the example above may be a little convoluted if you aren't too observant

I recall in the UK in 2006, in retail supermarkets, it's been disclosed that the tag price is a cash-only price. That if you pay by a credit card, then the price is 2 or 3% less, but there's an extra 2% or 3% fee for credit card

When there's the internet, why would you sell any software title at Target? It seems like Apple still likes to give some antiquated metrics for how much cheaper iOS is compared to retail software, but it's never explained why that

Wait a moment, how do you get from 5 cents + 1.3% to the 10-20% range all of a sudden?! Electricity and processing power aren't that expensive. They'd probably do just fine if they'd lower the fee to 10%, and stop enforcing t

If that's what they're selling, they're not very good at it. Sendgrid doesn't support all applicable RFCs, and they don't support spool, so, they have exactly 0% deliverability if the recipient host is down for any

The whole idea behind Sendgrid is a joke. It's become popular for some providers since the move to the Cloud to block outgoing port 25, but apart from that, you literally don't need Sendgrid. Any senior engineer can write a local

Commercial real-estate leases are often much longer than residential, so, they won't be as affected as fast. As a result, there's also a whole bunch of subleasing going on in commercial RE, hence, it may end up being a whole chain

Another problem is places like Nevada that uses PST/PDT (to align better with California), even though the states to the North and South use MST/MDT, or even a permanent MST with most of Arizona. If Nevada now has to use permanent

Android has an option allowing the users to install apps from any source. (You could install whole third-party app-stores this way.) Do you know of anyone who uses it? However, it's always there, so, if my favourite Android app gets

Not necessarily. For the prices to decrease, someone has to have to rent or sell. Many investors don't have such a need; especially in the commercial space. I would imagine companies like WeWork may actually come out ahead here; beca

You can install any other store on Android; you can enable installation from any source on Android; you don't even need to jailbreak to get this option on Android. Not possible on iOS.
