If it's anything like my discovery with supermarkets, most of it might not be airborne. I started gelling my hands after using a trolley a few years back. Rarely if ever get sick now. I suspect people sneezing all over the handle and t

I know one of those guys. I don't even pretend to know exactly what thoughts are occurring in his head but form the outside he appears to hold several logically inconsistent ideas at the same time and is desperately trying to find a ca

There was a bit of a black hole I agree. The 2021 models are much improved.

It reminds me when I was working in the defence sector in an airgapped building with no windows and a 12 month purchase order lead time on anything actually usable. We used to do stuff like this just to not be bored or frustrated. I wrote a

Sounds amazing when I make calls with my airpods so I don't think that statement holds.

My kids have current, supported Apple computers. I've also replaced several batteries in Apple products, even without pull tabs and it's not difficult. Regarding replacements, my mother's 6s just got a second new battery last

This is the best recommendation for a product you could ask for.

Can’t say I’ve ever had those problems. It just works here. I’ve got a 14” MBP. It has pull tags and is easy to replace. I’d still take it in apple store to get it replaced.

I think they should actually forcibly separate buying a phone from the carrier.

On the 3.5mm jack front I spent the 80s, 90s and 00s living with crackly ass headphone jacks on stuff. I’m glad they have died finally. My MacBook battery is replaceable. I don’t want removable as I don’t ever swap batteries. These aren’t l

Yes very reliable. They still are. Just Uber has an app and attention now.

Yes that gets even more difficult. Also consider time dilation on other planetary bodies so a local reference has to be really local!

Fair point. I actually thought that had gone through. I'm in the UK for ref.

I think that would end up turning my 60 minute zoom meetings into 60 beat zoom meetings which is a net loss of sanity

Not a great article. It's basically a giant straw man perched on top of zoneinfo which is a massive database showing exactly what a shit show we got ourselves into as a species with the conclusion that it's going to hurt to fix it

Common language and consistency in communication of times globally both now and in the future for all humans. This gets even more complicated when you have to consider the problems of communicating between planets.

London here. That's one reason Uber sucks. The drivers are running Bolt and Uber and will pick the most profitable journey each time.

I am a proponent of just standardising on UTC everywhere and making the humans deal with it at this point. No DST, no time zones. If you're in the east coast US then you have breakfast at 11:00 UTC. It's just a number! This realis

I regularly use non Uber taxis and have found them to actually be reliable. I'm in London and I'm not talking about black cabs for ref.

Mostly the demand pricing model which is up to 5x the cost of other local services, the absolutely abhorrent non-existent customer service, the 25% of the time when you order an Uber and it gets cancelled, the transaction processing problem

Sounds like they surveyed 9 members of the marketing and MBA class team and one software person.

It’s also killing customer confidence by providing the shittiest low ball unreliable service possible.

I disagree. It was pretty good even back in 2005. There were a couple of very large high traffic sites I ran on it back then. I wouldn’t use it now because the big cost is always humans in a project and anything .Net turns into a damage amp

I have used both from day one. I prefer Go. 900% less faffery with it.

No. I have a 5550 which is I assume what the author is referring to. It’s garbage. Overheats constantly, the touchpad is dire, the screen has bad vignette around the edges, it’s noisy, the thing hard freezes when you plug it into a dock, th

I don't mind not owning cheaper things but when it comes to very high value purchases i.e. houses, cars etc, I'm not going to put capital in up front or leverage debt unless I actually own all rights to them. I don't mind ren

That’s because it’s expensive, not because people don’t want it. It’s always cleaned out in stores in the UK.
