I really do not even want to understand the mental gymnastics which one has to undertake to justify the actions of the US and Israel in recent years. Nor do I even know how to begin to grasp the enablement displayed by Europe as a whole. Pe

Mandating removable batteries does not _force_ you to buy a second battery. It _enables_ you to. By proxy this enables you to fix a failing battery yourself, at home. Replacing a battery instead of the whole device would create less e-waste

> No big brand would ever sell their originals that didn’t sell cheap This is just inherently incorrect. In Europe we have a load of outlet villages which is where big brands do exactly that. It’s where I do most of my shopping. Last yea

I don’t know if it is just a symptom of growing up during the days of the net’s Wild West and navigating through sites like gamecopyworld or what, but I just seem to have some inbuilt filter which doesn’t even acknowledge the existence of a

The hotspot issue is my absolute pet peeve. It is so bad for me that I just had to accept that I have two options for hotspotting: 1. Go to settings and change my phones name then connect. Every. Damn. Time. 2. Use a cable and hope the MacB

That and the fact that money and media presence is essentially what wins elections. The only way we can really have democracy is with a truly informed populace and the only way people can make a truly informed vote without all the noise is

Think the notion that ‘no one’ uses em dashes is a bit misguided. I’ve personally used them in text for as long as I can remember. Also on the phrase “you’re absolute right”, it’s definitely a phrase my friends and I use a lot, albeit in a

I can’t agree more. I’m torn on LLM code reviews. On the one hand I think it is a place that makes a lot of sense and they can quickly catch silly human errors like misspelled variables and whatnot. On the other hand the amount of flip flop

Reading all of these takes stating WFH leads to poor productivity simply doesn’t make sense to me. If your employees cannot be trusted to fulfil their responsibilities (whether in an office, their home or a tent in a woodland) that is not a

You’re right in that there is no one place which will solve all of one’s problems. There is an entire continent across the channel which will at least permit you to easily travel through, and settle in, a decent number of countries with ver

Honestly, if you are able to, get out while you still can. For too long we’ve been on this slippery path and no government has any incentive to step off it. People speak as though Farage would be any different but fail to acknowledge that h

I think it’s more a shift in the culture amongst most people now than an argument of remote/in office. Notification fatigue is a thing and people are just used to ignoring notifications and messages nowadays which ends up with slow res

That doesn’t necessarily mean it is malware. Is it not possible that they just paid for some kind of PR or fake stars? Just playing devils advocate as I think your accusation isn’t based on much merit and is quite a big claim to make.

The parent literally mentions ‘the cheapest Indian cities’. As others have said, even the richest cities have a swathe of issues which simply do not exist in the west (reasons for which are another discussion). *looks at air pollution chart
