...and I'm saying that you're making up an idea in your head that there are people that buy their mac laptops and don't actually use them. The people at Starbucks do use their computers, just not in a way that you appreciate.

I never made that claim that you're suggesting. What I did imply was that the term 'power user' is broad and just because apple's PCs don't work for a specific individual's use case, it doesn't mean that t

OS updates are a risk regardless of the platform you're using. You run the risk of breaking something, and Catalina is in particular probably going to break compatibility with something. Just last year with Windows 1809 there was a bug

A problematic keyboard, sure. The reliability is well beyond what someone might consider acceptable (which is probably why they're rumored to be changing it). That doesn't mean that it's not geared towards power users. It mea

It's easy to say this when your definition of 'power user' is based on it meeting your personal use case.

I actually do think there is too much focus on pronouns and gender, though for some people it is something that preoccupies a lot of their life for various reasons. I'd imagine a trans person is confronted with these issues frequently

There are many third person pronouns that people have suggested that are not widely in use today, including singular they. Ze, zhe, per, zer, e, etc. [1] have all been proposed at various points in time (and some have resurfaced in the past

I think it's more the connotation that 'partial' has. In my head that means that there is still significant portions of features missing. Also given the context, partial implies that it is not useful for its intended purpose.

I certainly don't blame the developer for not supporting macOS, but the reasoning he outlines in his post aren't particularly compelling to me. It seems to me porting his game over to MacOS in itself would be a larger undertaking

That's exactly what I said, though? We allow adults to imbibe in weed (in some places) and alcohol (in most places). The decision to partake in these things doesn't happen when you're an adult. The choice is often informed by

Alternatively we can inform children about the risks of using e-cigarettes and let them make the decision on their own? Existing smokers like the different flavors as well and it's definitely one of the appeals it has over smoking ciga

If you set up your workspaces for different modes, then this rarely becomes an issue. While some spaces I use are more flexible for their use, certain spaces are designated for specific tasks. I use a space for communication/chatting,

Luxury of course is a relative term and in many parts of the world a $450 device would be considered a luxury. I don't think Apple is lightly dismissing the point, however. Apple does not leverage user data in the same way and their pr
