Between the two, personally, I would rather an advertising company like Google be eliminated, or at-least be regulated to protect user privacy. For me, it's easy enough to avoid Amazon, harder to avoid Google since every website uses t

Ironically, in our household anyway, there hasn't been an Apple cable that hasn't frayed or deteriorated (fire hazard) to the point where a new one was required. I now only use the third-party braided kind and those have held up q

Sorry, I don't agree with you and there is no point going around in circles. You're arguing "in theory", I'm arguing "in practice". Anyway, good luck.

Fair point, but its likely very hard if not impossible to create AI algorithms for automatic/guided content curation/classification without deploying them in a real-world use-case.

Cross-type has nothing to do with low light or low contrast. Sorry, I don't understand what point you want to make. There are dozens of things that affect focusing, or to be more specific - focusing speed, focusing accuracy, focusing r

These are not problems you face on production systems. We use windows exclusively (vaccine r&d), and our IT is easily able to control when and how updates are deployed on all of our systems. I have a W10 test box in my office that has b

Not disagreeing, but just to counter your point a bit, the Sony A9 has zero cross type sensors, but it has the best on-sensor PDAF system currently on the market. Conceptually, I totally agree with you that cross type sensors are BETTER tha

Agree. Even with video we're spoiled with tech to the point where it takes hundreds of YouTube channels to explain what the heck the tech does and how to best use it. Reminds of a quote - "We are not limited by our tools, just by

I don't think its quite accurate to say Canon sensors hold anyone back. Canon photographers continue to win awards, continue to create world-class images, etc, etc. Canon gear is very well represented in the professional photography co

Looked at the links, didn't find anything relevant to address my question. I don't consider "may be" to be data, you seem to have a different opinion.

On the flip side, how many generations before a new CPU architecture becomes robust and mature to be relied on for critical work? We're still using crufty Wintel at work (vaccine r&d), its simply the best platform that keeps our in

Your crude caricature relies on the existing CEO, and the board, to be incompetent and easily swayed by bogus numbers. If they were indeed incompetent, its not exactly a shock if the company implodes then is it?

The guidelines are obviously written by a lawyer so Google can have it both ways. (To be fair, most content platforms would have similar lawyerly policies)

Your own comment says "if he ever had any expertise it was in cancer, not epidemics, and he has no business speaking outside his field." Why doesn't that disqualify Bill Gates according to your own reasoning? >It's my

I agree, they should add some kind of option to disable updates for pro users even if they warn you. For me, W10 has always given me an option to defer updates and let me pick a time. At work, we use WSUS to manage our machines and my W10 b
