Sometimes yes, computers play a certain way and make moves that simply aren't intuitive to humans, especially not lower rated players. However the most obvious cheaters are more easily given away by time between moves. When they take t

Until recently I was using a Oneplus X with 16GB storage just fine. I was never tempted to download apps except the ones I completely needed (because I really didn't have room for it.) Now, with a Pixel 4a the System/OS singlehand

You need them sure, but you don't need them to be _new_ screwdrivers, clothing hangers or spoons. When moving, I sell leftover things to people who need them. And then when I arrive, I buy things second hand from people who no longer h

There are very legitimate reasons for not sharing networks, eg: security, not having latency/throughput issues when others are using the network. And personally I would need a wired connection anyway, so having a wifi network built in

I had the option of taking an M1 MBP for work, but the M1 MBP only supports a single external display and a laughable (in 2021) 16GB of RAM, so I consider it basically unusable. It certainly feels rushed, if the next generation supports mul

Let's say this ends up being 30$/month (I've no idea how much it will cost, but I saw this number floated above). Let's say you replace employee machines every 2 years. Doesn't it make more sense to just spend 720$

They could've done this with the iPad already, but have not shown any indication that they will do so. I suspect Apple don't want you to use your phone as a laptop replacement, they want you to buy one of their laptops.

The "incentives" for home ownership in the UK are mostly just government (taxpayer) subsidies paid to land owners. H2B/LISA schemes artificially raise house prices above what the floor would otherwise be.
