I can understand not liking Sanchez, although your comment seems too much. But El Diario, while being biased to the left, has never seemed to me like particularly loyal to PSOE. I used to read El País and I stopped exactly for that reason,

No official document, not even the Constitution, can be a final authority on what a nation is. That's just the official definition. Many scholars, politicians, and citizens, even excluding people outside of the Overton window, describe

There is a DC barrel plug for charging too. The USB-C port is Thunderbolt 4. I think that means it should support DP too, but don't take my word for it. USB-C/Thunderbolt confuse me.

I don't read the internet just to enjoy the wonders of efficient, plain web design. I'm not gonna stop reading the newspapers or blogs I consider most trustworthy (or less bad) just because I don't like their design choices!

Why? Why is competitive advantage the only thing that matters? OP is just ranting about people who pay more getting a better experience, making paying such a central part of gaming. They just hate this, which I agree with, although I know o

I love the contrast between reading this and the new Apple product being announced today. Part of me wants a Mac Studio. Part of me wants to buy a Raspberry Pi and see how much of my work I could do on that little thing.

To me, it only sounds dystopian if a distant, all-powerful big brother is running it. Not everything has to be like that. If it's under your control, like it is here, it doesn't sound dystopian at all. This person has noticed some

Today? Nothing. I used to hop between browsers often, and for a few years Firefox felt significantly slower. Does that really matter that much? I don't think so. I often think that Firefox never really got bad, the difference between F

And aren't the existing anti-cheat technologies the reason that cheats take that form? You see no cheap aimbots and conclude the anti-cheat is not relevant anymore. May be the right conclusion is that they're working. Not saying t

Unaffected? I don't think so. Oulu proves that temperature is a surmountable obstacle. I think the parent comment was right in that biking is very difficult to sell when those circumstances aren't right, even though some cities mi

Well, yes, of course it does. I'm willing to limit what apps I use and carefully consider what I install. I'm not yet willing to abandon my smartphone. Choosing the lesser of N evils is a pretty common and often rational choice, i

Not old enough to verify anything either, but I'm really curious about why you think this. My impression is that the smart kids from a few blocks would go to Nasa, and those are the ones we remember. Many smart kids had no access to hi

To clarify, Pessoa did write also in English and French. His poems in English are not translations, he did write in those languages. If I'm not mistaken, his famous "Give me some more wine, because life is nothing"[1] was ori

I'd guess this was always true, but to a lesser extent. Movies today are super expensive, and at least the movies discussed here are considered failures if they don't reach a huge ammount of people. The risk was still there before

An app that does nothing passed review? I hope this doesn't happen often, and that the processes are reviewed. May be reviewers have too much work to do and just click OK sometimes to move on? Also, I understand that the App store has
