Suppose it is true, I would like to know what you would do after your account is banned. You are not a part of that contract so you cannot sue the merchant. And credit card company likely won't bother with a lawsuit because there is on

Shenzhen isn't a good example here. In Shenzhen you can ask people to upgrade your laptop's RAM by unsoldering it, but usually those laptops are considered nonupgradable everywhere else in the world.

Well, maybe start with allowing users to swap RAM sticks first instead of continuing shipping those disgusting laptops with 8GB soldered RAM. For most of their consumer laptops (with the exception of gaming laptops), it's basically imp

No. It is useful in almost every environment other than things like REPL. I can write TypeScript for hours without writing any tests, run it and fix a few minor logic bugs and code is production level, which is great for prototyping. No cha

Have you actually used a Chromebook, like, spent more than 10 hours working on them? If not, you should try such a laptop out and then come back with your opinion. Even Chromebooks with Celeron processors are very usable and beat Windows la

The first time I heard that Unicode would support emoji, I knew it would be a recipe for disaster. And I definitely was not disappointed.

Is there any scientific research that shows clear evidence that e-ink screens are indeed better for eyes compared to LED screens in the same environment? I have seen such claims for many years but don't remember ever seeing any researc

Sure, the write definitely could have helped releasing these new features, but the language transition itself takes non-trivial effort and could have been used for adding additional features instead. I haven't seen any evidence that su

This is really surprising for a commercial company. Not about the choice of language itself, but the fact that they prioritize such rewrites over features, similar to the concerns from other commenters. They mention "performance"

I thought it was the predecessor of Slack/Teams, since you can send messages/files and do all those stuff on the same page. Too bad they didn't pitch it as an enterprise product. They aimed it at consumers but couldn't f

To be fair, Samsung produces much more reliable phones than Google, especially their S series phones, if you wanted to stay in the Android system. They are also quite good with system updates and security updates -- not the best but top tie

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but when one is in such a situation and they happen to have an app like Skype, people can use it for emergency calls (support in the US)

As in my other comment, this likely comes from the fact that lower end phones use "virtual proximity sensing" instead of a real proximity sensor, and they have a lot of issues when the phone is in a pocket. You need to either disa

Yes, I ran into the same problem and this "fixed" it. The issue doesn't come from the feature itself but from the fact that the lower end model uses "Virtual proximity sensing" instead of a real proximity sensor whi

So the example used is reiterating the previous comment about "Apple good at certain things". Yes Apple is good at designing chips, and has been like that for at least decade. We all know that. But the question is what about areas

Only if you are looking for a latest-gen or last gen machine. You can find some old NUCs for cheap, and there are lots of mini PCs or thin clients for around ~100. Yes about twice as expensive but more than twice as powerful (in both proces

A simple example: if I found a bug in the Linux kernel, fixed it and get the code merged, I would 100% put it on my resume and LinkedIn which could be a big plus when looking for my next job.

How is color screen related to Google Play store at all? Try opening any website on an e-ink device and I can guarantee that the greyscale is good enough to let you understand what a picture is about. That's good enough for Play store

It's a $280 Android device. Look up Android phones that are in the same price range and see how long they are supported. Maybe get up-to-date with real-world, realistic expectations before posting comments like this.

Well, there is a whole category of Android devices called tablets that (mostly) only have WiFi connectivity. And would you be surprised if I tell you Sony makes Android based Walkmans that mostly look like a phone except you cannot put a SI

It's a eink device, just a bit smaller, as simple as that. You'll be surprised by how many people want to read stuff in the bed holding the device with one hand, and this is smaller than a kindle. It is heavier than Kindle but lig
