Could be because they need to, not because they want to. The air pollution in some of their cities is downright hazardous so they have to do something and it also makes economic sense by now with the falling prices of solar. I don't bu

how does per tab incognito work in chrome ? I can only find per window (which i assumed was the only way to do it)

I think the same as someone who has waited for it a long time and purchasing a Rift with Touch, but looking at it rationally the sum of everything is a bit underwhelming if you consider a price of 2k to get started. Many people i showed it

Swift is not a consumer product though, a leak would have had very low impact for them.

I use my laptop for work and private 10-12 hours a day and am a developer myself, i just don't develop mobile apps, mostly backend services with python/go/php so i actually hardly connect my phone to the Laptop. Sorry i actua

Yeah, but Apple was never about choice and if the Touchbar was optional it would never find meaningful adoption. I still believe Touchbar can be very useful in the future.

Me too. I even like the Keyboard more than the old one, which i thought was impossible having tried it in a store before and not being convinced.

If you look at product forums in general you usually will see a lot more complaints than praise, because most people don't write about their positive experiences. I think here on HN these kind of posts get a lot of attention because it

Ah ok, i didn't think about the mobile developer usecase, thats a valid point. Tethering works fine for me via Bluetooth but i don't use it very often, so that might be valid too. But then a simple USB-C -> Lightning cable will

I hear this argument a lot but for some reason i never plug my iPhone into my laptop for charging, mainly because its a lot slower than using an outlet. 95% of the time i charge it at night and that's fine for the day. In the rare case

Tech Journalist Robert Scoble seems to be super certain that the next iPhone this year will be AR/VR and blow everyone away, he apparently has credible sources. Personally i don't buy it at all and can't wait for everyone to

I don't share ops sentiment. As a software developer studying math part time, the title really made me interested in the preview. Will buy :)

Long term i don't think many will switch away from OSX, at least i don't see anyone complaining around me and most happily use macs. Sure there will be some, but i don't think it's significant. Those who prefer Linux hav

Personally i came from Windows being a gamer for most of my teenager years so i used Windows to develop initially. But all solutions like using Xampp, over Linux VMs to Vagrant where painful in some way or another so i switched to Macs in 2

What makes this different/better from the million of similar products or is this some kind of YC company ?

Sorry, but then you did something wrong. Since Haswell they are not only better overall but also much more energy efficient. The Macbooks went from 5-6hours to 10 in that generation.

The T420 is a 5 year old machine, i highly doubt it can have the same battery life as a modern Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake chip.

The new Precisions are a lot less Desktop workstation replacements and more power efficient. I wonder if they still offer the same kind of performance though.

Are you implying there are no good Bluetooth headphones ? A2DP and aptx solved those issues long ago.

It's not even just unethical, it's also illegal in many places. Facebook (and Google and many others) are constantly violating European privacy laws and hide behind the Irish government who protects them against the rest of the EU

Good for you, but a lot of people care about supporting the more sustainable and fair businesses and pay extra for that. Buying only on price and thus personal gain is short sighted and will eventually lead to worse market conditions in man

you might not, but many gamers, streamers, audio/video creators create content today, often 4K (or even higher) which requires a lot of processing power and internet bandwidth, so assuming that demand will not go up is a bit naive. For
