Customer ignoring inferior products is very effective, it literally drives companies out of business every day. It's just usually not described as "boycott". What you are reffering to are instances where some individuals beli

> Yes but my personal choice is limited because the government refuses to step in. Wow. Do you really believe that it's government job to guarantee ad-free Echo?

I agree in instances where ads pollute public spaces, but nobody is forcing you to use Echo or watch TV. If you don't like ads you have a personal choice to do something about it, no government involvment is necessary IMHO.

You mean that guy who brought the ship dangerously close to an island (300m vs the planned 8km), because he watned to impress his girlfriend and then "accidentaly" fell into a lifeboat and left the sinking ship? Not the best examp

My experience is anecdotal of course, but IMHO "fast" is something tech savy users are looking for. "Which one is the Internet" or "I know this icon from a big shiny ad" is how non-tech folks function. Full dis

How do you tell "anti-Mozilla troll" from a genuinely dissapointed user? I'm currently on FF ESR, once my favorite extentsions stop working there I might as well switch the browser completely, since my UX will be completely r

Non-tech folks don't care about rendering engine. They might fall for tons of advertisment that Chrome had or they might be force-fed a new browser with a new computer or OS purchase, none of these things are going to happen for FF. Te

Voyager is much smaller, though. Can someone with relevant knowledge tell us if this object would be still detected if it was the same size as Voyager 1?

That's great news, thank you. I don't think they're ever going to fix the "system tabs" issue, since it's supposedly a "feature", but at least some good news. :)

AFAIK there is currently no extension that would support rocker gestures. Also mouse gestures now have the same annoying "feature" they've always had in Chrome: they don't work in "system" tabs (think about:pre

I have switched to Firefox ESR for the time being exactly for this reason. I can now only hope that working alternatives will be ready by the time extensions stop working there as well.

sigh... should have ended that sentence with "for me", but I thought that it was clear enough that the entire paragraph is about my preferences, not talking about users in general. still - as you wrote, folks who cared about speed

> "addons should manipulate only the web content not the browser itself" WTF? Who in their right mind can think that the only reason people installed add-ons was to manipulate the web content? UI is the main differentiating fac

great. let them use Chrome then. FF was strong in customization. I don't care if site refresh takes 20ms or 50ms - I can't notice. I do care very much if you break all of my current extensions and as a result the UI behavior I was

And yet somehow you still have someone (who I assume is a poweruser) who doesn't know about its existence. But to answer your question: It's hidden because it doesn't have a graphic representation on the device itself. Nothin

I agree that in general the support might be better, but for me Google works as expected at least in my current location (Czech Republic). If I set preferred language to Czech I get search form in Czech. After changing settings to English I

This is determined by the settings in your browser. If you don't like getting German version as default, then change your browser config. Not only you have links to different languages in the bottom of the site, you can even find a lin

One explanation can be that they managed to botch it the other can be that size of RAW images increased significantly in the meantime. I had no problem running relatively recent LR on i5 with 16gb ram. (I had problem with their pricing thou

Just like GIMP compares to Photoshop. All the tools are there, maybe there is even more of them. However something feels "off", things sometimes freeze for no apparent reason. The less you know Lightroom the greater the chance tha

It's hard to answer, unless you define the budget, but I'd say refurbished ThinkPad T420 (Last model to has decent keyboard). Put some RAM & SSD inside and you have nicely built and powerful machine.

So, why did you pay a premium for iPad when Android tablet at roughly half the price would give you the same functionality? (btw I don't get it either. But I don't see anything special about iPad, hence my question)

heh, brings back memories - I once spent a flight from Houston to Rio like this (~10 hours). There really should be a rule, that if you can't fit into your seat with the arm rests down, you don't get to flight.

A more apt comparison would be premium economy vs economy. From my limited experience - premium economy was always full even when there were places in economy.
