Maybe you should restructure your energy market so it is not so "profit driven" to avoid shock pricing? Our electricity prices going back to 2006 : https://www.oeb.ca/consumer-information-and-protection/elect.

I have the exact same thoughts as you.. While you can sort of see the Mac pro's place, the intel mini makes zero sense? Perhaps they have a warehouse of these somewhere and they are still trying to unload them? I see Intel based iMac&#

Amazon is on a gradual decline and what is shocking is that people dont see it. I stopped using amazon around 2 years ago. If i want to buy "Chinesium" i use aliexpress and save a lot of middlemen in return for a long shipping tim

I'm sorry, but are the plans not obvious? Companies are not some altruistic group, and this pattern of "free to get you hooked then convert to a paying customer" is almost as old as computing itself. What is odd here people d

You should spend some time and look at what housing prior to cars was really like as you are very wrong that "dense housing was the norm". Prior to cars, there were large "estate" houses with separate carriage houses for

This! you see post after post of people complaining about things but doing little about it. Returning products as "defective" is pretty hard on manufacturers as stores do not like this happening.
