Absolutely understood there is a major cultural difference - in this case, I was more hoping to shed light that with regards to the US, most people aren't aware of the difference most of the time since the difference tends to be more r

While I appreciate your agreement, I disagree with the reasoning - I don't think it has anything to do with that (and you can check my comments to see that I don't even think that "issue" is all that much of an issue in

I think that is a somewhat cynical view of the matter; I appreciate that "American Work Ethics" are highly flawed and mostly theatrics (I say this as an American expat who has experienced work from all over the globe), but as much

Probably because the Sticky Notes on Windows 10 has a bit more functionality built in. If I remember correctly, it has integration with other systems (including Outlook), so you can make a note and create a calendar event with said note. Ba

Thank you for this. Just added it to mobile Firefox. I agree with you and have found such elements very annoying since I've had a smartphone. When I was on iOS I was constantly annoyed by this and assumed it was a childish attempt to g

Really the only sound advice anyone can offer is "keep your head down until you naturally part" or "leave now via a mutual agreement" so as to not cause any of the harm you're afraid of causing. We only have a few t

I would say that Apple has definitely done a lot with iOS to achieve feature parity with Android and the Jailbreak tweaks, but when I am on iOS, I still jailbreak in order to control the less desirable features of various apps. Youtube back

While it may be a reasonable conclusion, such assumptions aren't supported by some rudimentary survey evidence, as per AV-Comparatives.org [1] The Kaspersky condition in Petya is indeed unusual, but I would agree with the initial blog

I think this is slightly different than what the article (and by extension my comment) were discussing. For some products and items, the difference between the chinese produced items and the actual items is a world of difference (e.g., elec

Not that I'm a huge fan of it, but Windows 10 (and I think 8) has it under the battery use section in their secondary control panel. It's not quite as accessible, it seems, as macOS' power usage that is readily available in t
