Anecdotal counterpoint, but as someone who had to use a MBP for work, OSX has given me way more random problems. Installing a system update on an MBP still gives me anxiety and I would avoid it for as long as possible, since I never managed

I was gonna say... I didn't even know overloading a power socket was a problem people had. Sometimes we'll run 5 gaming PCs + 5 monitors from one socket and it's always worked fine.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I'm not sure I could keep shovelling money into a manufacturer that caused me so many problems. But I guess that's the Apple ecosystem at full force and it can be hard to &qu

Interesting, because this sounds like wild speculation - yet you've stated it as if it is a cold hard fact. Do you have any sources or statistics to back this up? In 2018 the Swiss financial sector accounted for 9.1% of GDP. For compar

I just don't understand how it makes sense to get coffee delivered by drone (or by driving to pick up) every day instead of just buying an espresso machine.

I tried this today, picking a local home region that wasn't in their list of "oversubscribed" regions (Zurich) and have not been able to create an instance. Even 1vCPU/1GB RAM is seemingly unavailable.

In Dota at least you can make your data private and your picks/habits cannot be tracked by third party websites or applications. I feel like gaming stats should have way better privacy options in general.
