It's ok. It certainly doesn't hurt to try it. I tried using it as a daily driver a couple times and went back to Firefox. In my opinion, Vivaldi is better than Brave and I also prefer it to Firefox.

I think "The Great Resignation" is an excuse bad bosses use to explain why they can't retain employees. There has definitely been an attitude shift and a re-prioritization over the past couple years that I think has resulted

I would have thought the same several years ago. At age 40+, 1080p on a laptop is still good. Even at 1080p, I have to go into accessibility settings to enlarge text. I'm pretty much out of the market for 4k screens on laptops these da

Knowing what I know after 2 years of Tesla ownership, I would cancel any order until they actually release the feature. I was foolish enough to buy the FSD option and it's a joke. They were claiming "by the end of the year" b

I hate this app. It's such a lousy experience trying to park if you only occasionally use a metered lot. You get out there and have to download this thing in a garage with bad signal or you're trying to reset your password. I don&

I think you articulated it well. It trivializes life. Countless animals die horrifically for science, but much of it is ultimately in the pursuit of valuing human life. This is something different. This animal has been reduced to a device a

I'm not buying the idea that the animals somehow benefit from this. I'm not necessarily against animal testing either. But it's one thing to test on animals to develop lifesaving cures and another thing entirely sure to exper

That was difficult to watch. While the technology is impressive, it is sickening to watch. The part where they can pair the phone via bluetooth made me want to vomit. It is obviously unnatural, but I can't quite put my finger on it. So

I disagree. Tim Cook has been pretty solid. He's no Steve Jobs, but he's done a fine job. Although he hasn't produced any new cash cows so far, he's been a decent steward of the ones they already had and he's taken

This is ridiculous on so many levels. Who are you to tell someone else how they should spend their money? Not sure how you arrived at your estimate of production either. Are you basing it on how many units they produced of some completely d

So true. It's like they forget what made them popular in the first place. What was special about Netflix was this large library of on-demand content and things you may not find anywhere else. I think what early adopters liked about it

Netflix is horrible. It's slowly turning back into broadcast TV. And this whole data-driven approach to everything is infuriating. Complain about how something works? Netflix says the data proves you wrong. How long did it take them to

The market is also incredibly shortsighted most of the time. Trump being obnoxious and overall just bad - depending on your perspective - and Trump being right to want to do something about China are not mutually exclusive. It was a growing

Disney wasn't the first to do that. A number of new movies have come out at that price point for a very short window this year before becoming available for purchase or rental. I don't think it's accurate to compare these mov

So... Apple has a say in how or when a company communicates with its own customers inside of an app the company developed and customer chose to use simply because that app is running on an iPhone. This is asinine.

It's not that bad. You get a crappy release once in a while and it gets fixed within a week or a month at the most. And most of those bugs are in new features they continue to add after I've bought the car. Meanwhile, my Chevy has

Mozilla certainly has its faults, but how is generating revenue an indication of how far they have fallen? Why don't you contribute to the project for free? Most of us aren't going to do that so it's a little unreasonable to
