You’re super out of date at best. Please reference a great laptop review channel like Just Josh Tech and get educated. I’ve owned a Framework for a year, no quality issues. Lenovo makes many great models. You just have to look at reviews an

I think this is a weak argument. The vast majority of popular PC laptops sold have soldered RAM and socketed SSDs and that situation is a huge improvement over what Apple delivers. Most people just want to be able to upgrade storage or at l

Yeah, shows you how bad the present situation is. I would say that Apple never specifically built computers with repairability in mind save for your occasional Power Mac G3 type of model that was specifically meant for professional users in

I know, it’s hard to keep up with having choice. Much easier to just pick the brand with the best marketing, stick with it forever, and assume that nobody else could possibly make anything as good. My portfolio appreciates you.

I think a more common claim is that the current downturn is way more obviously explained by Covid-era overhiring. Basically all the charts on that subject are incredibly eye-opening. To me it shows that the tech industry has actually been e

It seems like you are now trying to walk back your own statement, and I find that facetious. There is no other way to read your original comment: you were saying that someone might choose a Mac over a PC because they prioritize screen brigh

Because if their browser doesn’t look like the other ones on the market, customers assume Firefox is behind the times and not as good. Like it or not, Apple and Google set trends in terms of look and feel.

This literally does not happen. Are you on Windows 10? It doesn't happen in 11. It is fully uninstalled. If I search the Start Menu for OneDrive it doesn't even show up.

Mine does not nag me about OneDrive or backups. OneDrive is not even installed. If I search my start menu for OneDrive, nothing even comes up. Sure, you can't install Windows without a Microsoft account, but realistically a Mac is far

It's hilarious to me that you are acting like these features you are bringing up are exclusive to Mac! SSD larger than 2GB? That's not a differentiating feature of a Mac. As a completely random example, an HP Omen Transcend 14 has

It’s not even horribly slow. It works fine. It’s just a chat program. It’s the right trade off for the job. Doing more work for no reason is stupid even if you the have money of a small nation. The inevitable differences between platforms y

Bad advice. You want to have at least one managerial role on your resume before you turn 40/45/50 so you can get hired as you age, and being offered one is something that doesn’t happen often. It’s far easier to go back to IC than

Anyone who cares about value isn’t getting a non-base model Mac. They are buying the silver shiny thing or their company is paying. For example, grab yourself an Omen Transcend 14, spec it to 64GB RAM and the RTX 5070. You’re under $2000 an

Literally the moment you buy a Mac. Apple hardware comes with 3 month trials of various subscriptions, and you get a notification about it. They try to get you to sign up in hopes you’ll forget to cancel. When I bought my iPhone 17 the sale

And if you are comparing against an M1 or M2 you can find numerous PC laptops that will beat that out in performance and still have a quiet/cool/long battery life operation. Yes, the MacBook Air is unique-ish for having no fan at

$250 for a US trademark. Just fill out some forms. I would think a US trademark plus a nasty cease and desist letter would deter most. But maybe I’m naive. Either that or just accept that someone else has a scam site. Report it to anyone yo

OP is playing the wrong game. They should have filed a trademark for the name and start sending legal letters to the copycat. This is why open source projects like Firefox hold trademarks near and dear.

I don’t think this is a solid hypothesis. I really don’t see these $15 a beer prices and I live in a major expensive city. Unless your idea of drinking out is at a theme park.

Of course this pitch is more like “white people might something resembling the kind of experience that natively born non-white people have in America.” Is a black person whose parents grew up in segregation, redlining, etc, really getting a

Time is an arbitrary construct in the sense that the mere lack of arbitrary change in time is a net benefit. I.e., anyone who doesn’t like the change in either direction can just change schedules accordingly for business hours. Whether that

There are lots of ways around it, like adding a transparent “training mode” that a user can enable with consent, legitimately purchasing training data, etc. The root cause is that meta didn’t want to pay the fair market value for those vide

I think this is a false dichotomy. Basically what you’re implying is that all the people working on Android derivatives like Lineage, Graphene, and /e/ coming together and working instead on a fully open source OS like a Linux mob

I don’t think this view is in line with the realities of the smartphone market. Some/many low end phones in on have replaceable batteries (e.g., Nokia C12). I’m not sure if it’s because of buyer demographics, simpler/easier assemb

I can find a few benchmarks that might help answer that question: On this MacBook Pro review [1], yes, Macs are at the top of the list, but they aren’t wildly out front during high-intensity tasks. MacBooks have been getting louder since th

Interesting reasoning that I never thought of, though it doesn’t change the fact that this kind of stuff deters my non-technical family members from updating Every update for them is like an exercise in anxiety and fear.

And Apple sometimes re-asks you with minor point releases a selection of those questions even though you’ve already answered.
