I'd rather not have yet another poorly cooled, poorly programmed chip that's prone to catastrophic failure (most common failure of SSDs is the controller, and USB 3.0 controllers are known to fail a lot ) in the middle.

The alternator needs to get some decent RPM to generate enough power. You'd have to go downhill quite fast.

Bluetooth? Holy shit, it can barely keep an audio connection, why would anyone use it for something important?

Thankfully, it's still possible to update software yourself. If that's impossible, well, good bye from me. I'm not going to be forced to buy new stuff because the perfectly good old one is not going to be updated.

I still have a HTC One M8, which is almost 5 years old. The processor is fine, storage seems fine, battery is almost dead which is normal... But 2GB of RAM is now not enough for the same apps I've used for years. Open a few tabs in Fir

It's an adaptation? Huh, never thought about it. I would go swimming in the sea when I was a kid without goggles, could see everything clearly. Nowadays it hurts opening my eyes underwater, I assumed it was just polluted as hell (by al

People drive high. I can't believe how many times I've heard "I can drive just fine, it's not like alcohol". Cannabis changes my perception of time and significantly affects my attention. I would never drive in th

Because they're buying it. The failure rate must not be impacting their profits, or people buy a new MacBook before the keyboard breaks, again not impacting their sales.

The way I see it: Say you've got a source of gold that no one else will touch (illegal mine, sanctioned country, slave labour, stolen gold, etc). It costs you way below market price, but no one will buy it from you. You pour it into ba

Haha, I totally forgot about that one. Though even using XP I used search without the dog, I forgot how.

If only... There's been several BIOS updates for my laptops. Meltdown, Spectre, and the most recent one, again something to do with side attacks. Plus Microsoft's updates

Yeah, when I was really young I'd have caviar regularly, it was cheap, never thought much of it. Twenty years later, prices seemed insane for what was basically a weekend of fishing (mostly for the fish meat). On that note, we had fres

I'll eat any insects. Well, not on the regular maybe, but I'd try them. I still want to try some grasshoppers and centipedes and whatnot, I wonder about the taste. I love salted shrimp, I remember seeing them in the water at the b

Yes... "run"... a "substantial amount"... Nah man, sadly most of the really useful software is quite unstable under wine, if it even runs :(

My ultimate OS is Linux, but it's rock stable, supports all hardware and runs OSX and Windows software natively. Heh

Incredible how that happened. I used Google Reader a lot, adding any interesting blogs I would find. Now I can't find any of them again :/ I think I've got a list saved somewhere, but it was just so easy to go through Reader.

Yes, yes, I got that explanation. But the first time a foreigner hears it, it sounds a lot like "Germany over everyone in the world", which can carry the implication :P

Wait until they hear the German national anthem (well, the first verse) :D

It's the opposite, once you realize that going with the flow of society/what's accepted is pointless, you can work, innovate, experiment with much less constraint. Realising and accepting death seems to work. You can then do

If only Huawei devices will use it, it's doomed. I've said it before and got downvoted, but here's the truth again: Android's app ecosystem is what makes it popular, followed by the huge number of manufacturers using it.

You've got a voice? Man, that's awesome. I've got half a dozen assholes all screaming what they want. It's really hard to get anything done this way.

Well, that worked for exactly 0 Sims and TES characters in my simulations, they're all deleted now :D On a side not, it's simply incredible what modders still do with Skyrim and it's old engine.
