When was the last time you rebooted your phone?

This anti-Apple commentary is getting boring. We don’t have all the information and we definitely can’t guess Apple’s motivations. They definitely aren’t focused exclusively on maximising profits: they already have all the money, and they m

But how would you know someone hasn’t accepted the additional keys for you? You’re making the system weaker while making it appear stronger - that’s the worst possible outcome.

I don’t want that. It would have to be a persistent warning of the person that compromised my phone could dismiss the warning. But most of these anti-Apple comments can be overcome by buying a different device. They have different trade off

In a teaching lab in 1995, I had to make a digital thermometer using a mcu. I wrote code that dynamically read the voltage drop on the sensor and calculated the temperature. It was fast enough and easy to calibrate. The code was small and e

I support RTR. I find Rossman annoying and abrasive, but he makes good points. However, we are never going to live in a world of repaired devices. Feature development and performance increases happen too quickly. Most people buy new phones

I love the idea that you have designed and made your own headphones. I'm also glad that these work for you. However, your argument about reducing environmental waste is flawed. AirPod, in total, weigh less and use far less plastic than

No, a very good Chinese made RMS objective can cost less than $25 at lower magnification. Plan Achromatic objectives cost a little more, but will give flatter, clearer images than cheaper ones. It seems a tube lens is used anyway, so the ad

Wow! I lived through that and do not have any nostalgia for tape shenanigans!

A free market approach also places focus on the wrong performance indicators. Why is “very low cost” even a consideration when it leads to under investment which in turn results in significant power outages for significant periods of time.

I appreciate your effort in fleshing out your arguments, but you’re still conflating multiple factors. You also seem to to have an ideology against Apple and/or it’s approach. While that’s fine, it becomes impossible to have a conversa

No, that’s not right. You’re confusing the owner of the distribution channel and the manufacturer of the device. In Apple’s case, it’s the same company. In Android’s case, it is not. You are further confused by the difference in channels av

You’re welcome to your view. But do keep in mind that one needs to follow the laws of each jurisdiction in which they operate, regardless of your opinion of that “rightness” of the laws. Your breathless rhetoric is pointless too. When was t

The ease or difficulty of re-flashing is dependent on the hardware. Some (most?) still need soldering, or at least a steady hand to hold wires in place, but the soldering on some things is far easier than others. I've managed to flash

You make a good point, but obviously different datasets and scenarios require different methods, and the detail of any approach is less important than starting out with valid assumptions.

True. Value to an economist is an aggregate of all the individual’s values. Your individual value is likely to have not influence on the market value (unless you’re buying a lot at a different price).

It’s knowledge of settlement that causes the “dislocation” of price. Actual settlement has minimal affect. Price, at equilibrium, is a true representation of value. But other market forces ensure that equilibrium is seldom met. Tax, tariffs

This is a faulty argument. Value to an individual is very different to value to a market. Value in this sense is the aggregate of the individual values to all of the buyers and all of the sellers. Price and value only match when supply and

Marketers view: the website has lots of buzz words, so it’ll probably do ok with gaining organic search traffic. However, I can’t really tell what the product does? Is it a CRM or is it a way to send messages to my clients? I think you need

Thank you. I understand that part, but is the line supposed to be at the same point above the earth?

Forgive my ignorance, but if the moon orbits around the earth (ie not geostationary), how can the end of a line attached to the moon stay in one place above the earth?

I’m not trying to be a dick, I’m genuinely interested. Why would you make a product for a platform you don’t support? Feels like a vegan owning a hamburger shop. Is it the market size that keeps you in the iOS space? Are you on other platfo

That’s not what a monopoly is. It isn’t a misuse of market power to have a lot of customers. It’s ok to not like Apple or any company that doesn’t match your values, but it’s important to argue using the right terms and definitions, otherwi
