Re: Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons, I feel like you glossed over "except as those projects also support Wikipedia", and as for Wiktionary, any of the ninety other online dictionary services will do me just as well. With regards to

The problem, in all this, is not getting Wikipedia 's expenses down to nothing. I use Wikipedia all the time, and I love it. It's an incredibly useful site and should be funded well enough to keep running indefinitely, and even h

Since we’re talking about Apple stores, here’s an anecdote about competing on service: My iPhone was rebooting at random, in the middle of use, with some regularity. I was in an area with no Apple store, so I swung by an authorised Apple re

Not speaking to the NDA issue, which is gross, but just to the Windows 7 users issue: Windows 7 is currently under extended support (i.e.: critical security updates only) and that extended support ends as of January 2020. In other words: St

They care about it a lot more than you imply, they just don't know that it's something they care about. I partly manage a team of end-user support people, and the number of tickets they get with "my computer is slow!"

Only because you're completely unaware of the history of the word "hacker"; It certainly doesn't just mean someone who breaks into other computers. Reading the old Jargon File entry for the word might clue you in: http:

As a possible solution, you can buy a pair of IEMs with MMCX connectors and a bluetooth MMCX cable. This is the route I went with my Shure SE315s that I use while I'm on my motorcycle, and it works pretty flawlessly for me.

You don't have to imagine to find a sport with greater running distances, match lengths, and goals-without-a-goalie: Just go watch an Aussie Rules Football match. They have roughly 2 hours of play, and it's not unknown for players

Are you arguing that EIS over a series of burst photos is incapable of making things better? Everything I can see you saying -- much if it agreeable, like the fact that long-exposure OIS makes a lot of what this technology currently does

My point, of course, is that the only thing you’re going to measure a gaming rig by is gaming, which has very little to do with the age (or speed) of any component other than the GPU. Do you suspect, though, that the standard home user (o

I cannot think of a single AAA title in recent memory that causes my i7 2600k -- an 8 year old CPU -- to struggle. It can play absolutely every single modern game, with the only component upgrade in its 8 year life being the GPU.
