Ugliest macOS... So far!

People need to stop idolizing Steve Jobs like Apple only produced consistent UI when he was there. Apple have never respected its own guidelines, for example in the early days of MacOSX there were "brushed metal" apps that were su

I can't remember the last time I was excited for a macOS release. This time again there is nothing I'm looking forward in this new release.

ChromeOS stops getting updates when your hardware gets a bit too old, at that point even your web browser is no longer updated. That's ridiculous.

I think up until about 15 years ago, there was no such negativity against "screens", so it was genuinely seen as something modern to add them. With the added benefit of being more robust (no moving parts) and cheaper to change the

Why can't the public schools ditch the Chromebooks? They cost money, parents hate them, what's the point?

That's because it's a winner-take-all market. Any of those could have won and get the monopoly instead, and Youtube would have starved, but Youtube is the one who won. And don't say Youtube was first, Dailymotion is slightly

On Youtube you also have a choice between watching ads or subscription, I don't see the difference. Yes you can use an ad-blocker, but they're making it harder and harder. Youtube has no competition because it's a winner-take

Phones are already thin enough, I don't mind doubling the thickness. Length is the problem.

Except now your phone is getting energy wirelessly, which is less efficient and gets hot... A big loss for a small coolness factor.

We converged already 5 years ago, the feature bumps we're getting now are artificially created for marketing reasons.

That's in addition to send everything to Google. You're still using Play services and Google apps.

Nova Launcher is 13 years old. Having to change your launcher every 10 years isn't too bad.

by eloisant 1y ago
I've switched to Smart Launcher about a year ago, and I'm really happy with it. Nova already seemed to be stuck 10 years in the past, also it had accumulated too many features that made it cumbersome to configure.

This time I can understand his point, and agree with most of it. I was really surprised to hear a scientist like him, who knows how the tech works, to go full scare of a Skynet AI.

Don't worry, capitalism knows how to make a business out of poor people. Just look at Walmart, and credit cards.

The bottom line is that predicting the future is hard. I'm always skeptical of people who pretend they can. Of course, because you have different people all predicting a different future, some of them are bound to get it right. That do

People who buy new cars don't do it for economic reasons, they do it so they can configure them exactly the way they want. Even then, most individuals don't buy new cars. Most of the cars on the used market come from company cars,

Gas is cheap in US, so they have less incentives to buy EVs to start with.

That's not the cheapest, at least in France the cheapest new EV is the Dacia Spring. Of course if you look at the used market, older models like Renault Zoe can also be found for cheap... But considering EV technology have been evolvin

If you have a personal parking spot in your residence, you can install a charger there. It will be you own charger. In France there is a "right to charge", meaning even if you're a tenant the landlord/building manager ca

If the number of EVs grows, ICE will shrink by as much so we can just convert regular parking spots to EV charging spots.

Still less than 170 miles. Remember that you would usually charge at home so you start every day with a full battery.

by eloisant 1y ago
Of course if you don't have a plug at home, and have to do all your charging at a station, buying an EV now is not a great idea. If you do have a plug for charging, which you could have even if you live in an appartment (personal parki

It's about cheaper parking for EV. It exists now as an incentive to buy EVs, but as EV become more popular it's bound to disappear.
