Absolutely agree that the convenience doesn’t make up for the downsides. I do think that some cases can be covered without putting data out in the wild with some third party. Siri and similar apps don’t do well with complex commands, but ju

I had one of these when I worked for Google, I didn’t quite trust it though, so I had it in the bathroom to limit what my employer could listen to. Imagine discussing a product idea at home with friends, then having that stolen by an engine

I used that as an opportunity to leave most Google services all together, the product decisions just can't be trusted from a user perspective. For most services there's a better alternative (e.g. DuckDuckGo with bangs for search,

I would define serviceable as replaceable with reasonable cost or effort, with reasonable being closer to the price of the component than the whole device. In other words: if the part is a battery that costs around $70, I should expect a ch

It’s getting better but the inconsistent UI (Control Panel and that other thing) and garbage that comes with it is still quite annoying. There’s probably some corporate environment to avoid the latter, but I’d still rather not have random a

This all makes sense, thanks for the details. I think the key element is how you calibrate towards the candidate, bringing common sense into the process. This is something Google tried to cancel out to increase fairness, which failed in my

This absolutely! The interview process is totally broken, as it tests mainly how much someone is willing to prepare for the interview, which might actually show more how little they focus on doing more productive things in their current job

It looks like Apples quest for even slicker devices has taken its next toll, both the MacBook retina and the original touchbar work fine with a cover. The product line up is in a weird limbo between professional and luxury and it’s difficul

I didn’t refer to that concern, that’s a different discussion - in a corporate setting the policies might help avoid that by limiting what can be installed. where they don’t help is accidentally activating the camera and only realizing afte

I think the third point is especially strong argument for having the cover. It gives you a second physical layer of security rather than possibly a button you might automatically click away and it gives you the opportunity to join the call

Boarding closes somewhere between 30-15mins before the flight, if you travel without luggage I’m pretty sure it should be possible to be at the airport around 45 mins before the flight and still make it, especially in an all business class

Wireless hdmi: Though it’s technically not the same, think of chromecast, I think it’s nice to be able to stream stuff on the tv without the need to physically connect it. Since power cables are still the easiest to find in a normal househo

Being able to move around (several monitors) and easy use of a standing desk are some advantages. I have a workstation under my desk and a laptop that I frequently hook up to my monitors frequently.

It’s not practical when you have to do it several times a day and having a cable lying around and having to connect it sort of defies the purpose of a wireless keyboard/mouse. Same applies to Bluetooth speakers by the way, pairing is j

I think so. From the page on apple keyboards [1] I’m referring to A1243 and A1843. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Keyboard

Not quite - I use a wired Apple keyboard (otherwise a great keyboard, feels way better than the magic keyboard and the usb on the side connects to my mouse) that doesn’t work on my MacBook unless I use the extension cord, on another MacBook

I think linux works reasonably well on the desktop as long as you stick to the standard settings, i.e., running only linux, accepting the way things were set, not worrying too much about loud fans, etc. The big issue I have is the mixed qua

While the notice probably comes from some automated system resembling authoritarian governments as described below, it looks like your extension would be undesirable to Google's business model and metrics they would want to optimize an

Good point, it really depends on how companies decide to look at this topic and what they decide to optimize. The „old“ Microsoft probably wouldn’t have created a platform for Mac devs deploying on Linux as another comment in this thread de

One aspect EA might be considering are potential losses in other product lines, say if fans were to expand old games with new campaigns that are better than what EA is offering today. For Microsoft this seems to have worked out fine - they’

One advantage of Balena seems to be that the logs in the cloud reduce wear on the sd card, so you can just unplug the raspberry pi (I can’t find the source right now - I think it was in the issues of balena sound’s GitHub Page)

It might be nice to have a printer that doesn’t call home or an order one that is easier to refill. Also with the cheaper pi zero, why waste a functioning printer - you might also have other services running on the Raspberry pi.

Is there a good way to figure out how much performance is best suited? I’m considering an upgrade to my 2013 MBP retina and it would be great to know how different configurations play out in terms of speed and battery life. Typical benchmar

Good point, it's possible to send a request to add a bang, but it would be better if there were an interface like in Chrome or Firefox to set up own searches. I do prefer not leaving all my data with Google though to combine with other

Actually that’s better too, I like how it’s possible to switch countries easily to get local results or choose global results. Some non technical searches are more difficult though.

I actually think the results on DuckDuckGo are better than on google for many topics especially technical: - there’s less ads (you can turn them off completely, but I’ve only seen one ad on the front page at most which is ok for me) - not a

Minimal Linux Live has a nice small script where you see what is being set up. It does include Busybox though, which might already have too many tools. https://github.com/ivandavidov/minimal-linux-script
