You meant "getting away with", which means "not being stopped/punished for". "Doing away with", as was pointed out, means to stop/abandon.

Speaking for myself; vim's always available whereas I have to faff about (especially on older systems, or where I'm not admin) to get neovim working. The .vimrc files seem to have to live in different places meaning the scripts I&

What's adultery doing on that list? Why shouldn't it be legal? Prostitution is legal in many places. Legalising it everywhere would help get rape cases reduced. Unless you're a vegan it's hard not to laugh at criticism

Bluetooth is perfect for you if you like going back to pre 1985 audio quality. Some of us like CD quality, and it's kind of funny that in 2019 the only way to get close to that (without a headphone socket, anyway), is using aptx-hd sup

I briefly used a free UK voip service which allocated you a real, geographic phone number anywhere you wanted in the uk. 01234 567890 for examine. Anyone - you for example - could phone that number, and my phone would be configured to use

Back in the day i used to listen to CDs on the tube and no-one told me I should be listening to a cassette based walkman instead. What's changed?

Sounds good to me. Wired headphones or aptx hd bluetooth. Benefit from the flacs? I mean, it's just CD quality. 1980's standards! It's amusing how many other elements of technology are massively improved from the 1980&#

Surely everyone who ever gets asked these sorts of questions just says what they think the person asking wants to hear?

Maybe it's time to reconsider phone numbers. Think about it. There's already a divide between phones on one side, and tablets/laptops/pcs etc on the other. You can only use whatsapp on a phone (or a laptop connected t

There's already AR on phones, and it's never really taken off. If you need comedy/expensive glasses for it it's always going to be a niche market comprised of people who don't think they look bad. AR is already he

People say they expect more, but what, exactly? Do people still expect more from a laptop? They're laptops - they've not changed in 15 years. They just get faster, smaller and more easy to break. Phones have caught up. Nothing

"if you routinely copy a portion of your music to your phone, of course it makes sense to get more storage." Well, if you've only got a portion then the only difference between having 10% and 99% is how frequently you have to

I don't use mine as a tablet (and mine is one of the ones where you can fold the keyboard right around), but it is good to have proper android support so I can use mx player to watch videos (with all codecs supported, unlike the chrome

Hmmm... You say that but my music collection is 3+ tb of flacs so that's not fitting on any sd card currently. I have a 64gb phone with a 200gig SD card in and whenever I consider getting a larger one, or a phone with more storage I re

Chromebooks. £500 for a 14" touchscreen Android/Linux/Chrome browser on x86 with a nice lit keyboard... You don't save much getting a decent-ish tablet but without Linux/keyboard etc etc. Tablets - other than £150 o

Yeah, Honor Play was £260 or something, 6.3" but fits in all my pockets and has almost the power of a flagship. How small are these people's pockets, and how do you, I dunno, play chess or read articles or check out how your photo

Reality? You can maintain an absurd, unintuitive, dated UI by yourself fairly easily, but even someone who pushes out two minor updates per week is going to be taking on a little too much in my opinion if they believe they can also support

I dunno about that...I've recorded some of my acoustic guitar playing, and some electronic pieces. Some mastering exists which would make the recordings sound better than a 100% unaltered digital playback?

Yeah, I can't even log into my MS account to do MSDN stuff. Microsoft support: "Use any non-microsoft browser". I ended up creating a "personal" and "work/school" account as part of the process, and

No it's not. If there's a digital recording of a band and you can either listen to that exact set of bits encoded losslessly, for example from a flac file from a cheap usb key, Vs whatever the hell happens when you convert those b

"Allow your team to response in a matter of hours/days, not minutes. Let them think about and rethink a problem or question." Is anyone using dsr55rhel? I need to reboot it.
