I live in Canada; I'm not really sure what the equivalent of an SBA is up here; but thank you for giving me the direction to go in! :)

I actually work 9-5 for a bank as a software at the moment, however; I'm leery of asking for a small business loan as it obviously indicates a long-term interest in leaving the company. Should I be worried about that? Realistically it

Unfortunately, I don't own a home; or obviously that would be the first go. :(

I did a basic calculation online. Over 2-3 years I can; to the best of my understanding, given a $20k investment, guarantee at least a $30k return; which would be a 50% ROI. It could be more, but it certainly wouldn't be less.

I hadn’t thought of that - but holy shit; I’d put money on that being the case. How embarrassing.

Embarrassing that this exists before Apple gets its own Final Cut Pro on their so-called 'iPad Pro'. Never understood how they could have the audacity to call it an iPad 'Pro' when none of Apple's actual by-name &#x

I'm autistic, and often call myself retarded intentionally. :P We're all a little retarded.

I'm working on the iOS/WatchOS app(s) for a major bank, and fortunately of course most of our staff uses it; too - because of course we bank with the bank we work for. (There's tangible benefits to a staff account, even those

I'll certainly never use Windows again; for any reason. The idea of built-in advertising within an OS is absolutely a line too far crossed. Doesn't matter that you can disable it; it's the existence of the advertising alone t

Always boggles the mind how companies are proud of be part of an industry of systematic murder. Fun.

My girlfriend and I would love that. We love to travel, but rarely have the time to use things like pools unless we’ve specifically rented a room with a double jacuzzi. (If you haven’t done this, and have a partner; please do. I guarantee i

Ahh, made a big long comment suggesting a cat; ha - for me, the transition from completely empty, huge studio; to having a little fuzzy companion, made all the difference in the world.

Please don’t take this as a joke, I honestly mean this as an incredibly serious suggestion - I felt the exact same way, I’ve got a partner and friends as well but unfortunately my hobbies (I produce my own conscious hip-hop and short films)

Looked through the comments briefly and couldn’t mind a mention - but wouldn’t the Fossil Watch PDA have been the smallest, by definition; PDA? That thing ran a full-fledged version of PalmOS. Way, way ahead of its time. (No pun intended. :

Actually - I’m absolutely looking for a cofounder with a decent business background at the moment for a tech/physical product-based business I’ve been putting together. I’d love a thread like this! :)

I literally laughed out loud that this would be the ‘example’…omigosh, too funny - I’m actually going to share this comment with a couple friends.

Funny fact: one of the only times online I actually caught a company shill acting as a regular person posting - essentially, ads; and whose extensive comment history only included positive remarks about a product - was a Stadia shill/p

Let’s just cut ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ down to 40 minutes, because - why couldn’t Kubrick just compress all that slow motion classical music stuff down to the actual point of the movie? ‘Humanity makes first contact. They send out a spacesh

Oh, God - I, too; experienced DOOM 3 for the first time on a PowerPC Mac...not exactly a pleasant experience. I was an early adopter of the first Intel MacBook; and let me tell you - the difference (once we had a Universal Binary) was like

Y’know…it was clear that the original commenter was telling a story. If you didn’t want to read it, you could’ve stopped. Nobody was making you. :) There are plenty of other comments, and I found this one fascinating; myself. Maybe it’s jus

The Tumblr de-porning was the single most SMH business moment I may have heard of since Yahoo’s previous worst business move ever of not buying Google. I mean - my God … Yahoo may very well be the single dumbest major tech company in h

It’s borderline criminal that these were sold with soldered-on SSD’s that can never be upgraded. It makes piles of otherwise completely useful laptops unusable pieces of shit. Same with the RAM. The environmental damage alone that comes fro

At least on iOS/iPadOS, this is inequitably true. It’s impossible to argue Apple doesn’t have monopoly control over web rendering on these platforms.

Thank you for a realistic, grounded, evidence-based discussion of this. I've seen quite a few comments in this thread that have made me shake my head pretty hard. Here's the thing: anyone who is in IT, especially programming; is g
