I realize that thin is good for some, but not all and Apple are only focusing on that one thing, at the expense of everything, and everyone, else. But I would also question whether you really need to shave off another 3 grams of weight, whi

Installed KDE Neon yesterday (which is a distro, not a DE) and even coming from a different Linux flavor I was surprised at how easy it was to set up shortcuts in KDE. Really impressed with the quality of KDE Neon.

My ZBook is over 5kg, my car doesn't seem to mind. My point, weight unknown, is that Apple are so focussed on thinness they have forgotten that I have "legacy" hardware lying around, still in use. I refuse to spend $ on rep

Why? A google search only shows misspellings and an urban dictionary entry you do not want to be associated with.

If you are using a name, like Google, even if that only means one person, then use the name of the app/company. Gooogle takes your privacy seriously. "I, Sergei, takes you privacy seriously." Not as convincing.

Where i live you can get a phone contract that includes the latest model, a new phone, once a year. SO if you sign up now for an iPhone 7, in a year you will get a 7s, a year after the 8 and so on. You return the phone you have to the telec

Lets talk European keyboards, [ is alt+8. This has been a long running frustration for apps that don't allow remapping but use the US/UK keyboard as standard.

It's probably not genetic. Ask any school teacher who does well in class and who struggles, who has ADHD and who concentrates for hours at a time and they will tell you diet and routine (also linked to wealth) are almost always obvious

I'm from a region of the UK that when people, especially abroad, hear me speak they ask why I don't sound as expected. They have been to where I am from or met other people from there and think I sound "posh". I'm n

Not really, good developers become good from working, being involved and working together with more experienced developers. Sitting at home while employers moan about lack of skills without investing in employees is perhaps where the distin

I think the idea is that why trade in oil or gas, forestry or fishing, when you can trade in money? The way the global economy works being that money is not a result of other industries but an industry, a commodity, in and of itself. Money

Well if saying anything you like as long as it is meant to provoke [a response] is acceptable, then let's have a few articles about why antisemitism is cool and how black people have low IQs. Or are those subjects that have been covere

Even the milder comments can sometimes just focus on being so negative that it becomes an irritation. On the other hand, certain communities have nothing but supportive and positive comments. Much of what I watch doesn't attract a sing

All the YT apps I have tried in the past have failed because it seems YT alter the API so often that developers just give up trying to fix what YT break too often. SO i would assume that this will break all existing apps and some will again

YouTube is generally speaking a UX mess and the same goes for all Google products. On YT, if I am listening to a DJ mix, for example, I don't need to be watching the video (or looking at a still image) for 1 & 1/2 hours, so I

Bluetooth is not the answer to our problems, because in my experience: 1. Streaming BT from Linux to a BT headset/speaker is a pita to set up 2. If you have 2 BT devices the same (mini-speakers for example) they have the same name/

They had some excellent ones too. Rover 600 & 75 were good cars. Many major manufacturers have had life-threatening failures in recent years resulting in recalls. Some surviving brands were much, much worse than Rover Group at quality.
