This hypothesis doesn’t hold up since THC is only effective when it’s heated up. You’d have to ingest a much bigger amount of raw material to achieve a high that makes you forgetful.

Yep "Voting with your wallet" doesn't work, bad practices need regulation and/or penalties.

Almost nothing if you buy a PC. Look at the markups for a RAM upgrade in Macs, it’s gut wrenchingly greedy.

Similarly, I use vsvim. I like vim, it’s much more responsive, but setting up vscode to work with debuggers and external tools is so much more streamlined. I do desktop, web and embedded development and have never spent more than half an ho

They are boiling the frog slowly. The T2, app notorization and kext depreciation are steps towards locking the device down. Combined with the iPhone-ification of their hardware I see the Mac becoming more like the iPad than the iPad becomin

They have been working on locking those down too, even before they announced the switch to ARM, which will continue this trend.

I agree with you and I want to clarify the point to others: not punishing users is not enough. They need access to clean, cheap drugs so they don’t have to take more risks to their health than necessary and stay away from the criminal side

No it's bad if your friends gobble up all the food without leaving anything for someone that eats slower. I would never do that even if I was a fast eater. But also, as the other reply pointed out, it was tongue in cheek.

The first two sentences would’ve been perfectly sufficient to convey your point. The last sentence looks like flamewar bait which is why I downvoted your comment.

It's fine to buy a product and expect it not to require an intrusive violation of my privacy to use it. I hope lawmakers will completely bar this practice for all devices.

I agree, I think a lot of what holds Windows back is the baggage from the past. Ideally OSes would live somewhere in a healthy middle, where we can’t expect 10 year old software to run on the current version of an OS. On the other hand we s

I never said everything. But a lot of the software still works. Some work with minor workarounds. Of course some programs will break with an update. But in my opinion creating a culture where an update is expected for software that is a cou

I have applications and games from the 90s that still work in Windows 10. The idea that developers have have to constantly push updates is unproductive in my opinion.

I think the issue is that faulty hardware isn’t actually that common. I have more than 20 Apple devices in my family circle without any issue. But if there were to e failure it would going to be costly and strenuous to repair. So I don’t t

At this point it’s as if Apple is begging to be regulated. Absolutely disgraceful. To be clear my issue is not with the price of the repair but with the lack of alternatives due to Apple’s replacement part policy. I’m pretty sure if the EU

Tangential, since this article is about the US and China. But if the US has dropped the ball, then Europe (or the EU specifically) didn't even bother to go to the game. The only thing we're innovative at is coming up with regulati

The problem with such a „soft“ system as opposed to a hard sandbox is that rules may change after you purchased the phone and rules get applied inconsistently. Both happens regularly.

Because if you don't pay the Apple tax, that's the alternative. But I don't want to switch. I want what I have now to be better. I think sign in with Apple is a great service, but not if Apple abuses it for their perverse pow

In my eyes Android is terrible with regards to Google’s tracking and 3rd party app quality and privacy. Apple is the better alternative in my opinion (if you want to own a smartphone, which I do), but that doesn’t mean I like their abuse of
