Boy, that headline buries the lede a bit: 25% of electric bill payments go to corporate profit. Of course, one can imagine how much is being spent on infrastructure improvements and decarbonization. If ever there were an argument for govern

Though The Chronicle is pretty bad, it is generally what I see when I surf without a Pi-Hole (or choose your fave ad-blocking tool). And, yeah, I honestly don’t know why people put up with it. I offered to put a Pi-Hole on my parent’s netwo

What makes you think the Windows group gives a shit about what some random in DevTools thinks about their product? There's probably all kinds of internal pushback, but I would question how much straw polling is being done.

If, in MacOS, I can drag a file onto a taskbar icon to open the file in whatever program I dropped it on... MacOS already does that. You're not going to drag a video file to the spreadsheet app icon with much success, but if the app

Two of the latest Intel MacBooks, and the last Intel iMac, so technically, yes, there’s still some Intel support in there. My 2019 iMac is one version too old.

Exception proves the rule, blah, blah. I’m sure OP wasn’t speaking about every single person on the planet, without exception.

We’ve got a rescue dog like that, reflections off watches or whatever (including kitchen baking sheets). It genuinely distresses him. Dog was seven years old when we got him, probably no fixing it now, but we do try to mitigate things as be

It’s in there: “The executive who agreed to the deal left his wife for an HR person, and took the stock for himself. Never every make a handshake deal with a person you trust, because that trust will not last.”

I don't know Tucker Carlson personally, but I what I do know gives the appearance of saying anything for ratings, whether he believes it or not. And the Daily Mail is a rag along the lines of the New York Post. If someone has better so

I said nothing of the deceased’s parents. I think you missed my point.

I care little for what Tucker Carlson has to say, and I care even less about the Daily Mail’s gossipy reporting of it, no matter how much the topic might tickle my ears. I’m disappointed this received even six upvotes.

If what is behind the patent is granted free to use, what’s to enforce? How would I infringe on “free to use for everybody “? I believe OP’s idea is to file the patents defensively to block others from filing stupid patents as in TFA.

When I was a pro mechanic, I watched someone drop the engine on a Bug in like 15 minutes. For that car, clutches are easy. Now do a front-wheel-drive of any era. Hey, guess what you get to do first? Take the wheels off, thereby exposing t

Haven’t even had to replace the battery in our 13 Minis yet, so hoping as well for another 4 years. After that, I hope Apple has glued two small iPhone Airs together and made a foldable.

C suites are committed to spending as much as possible on real estate Executives often own the real estate and lease it back to the company. From Steve Ballmer to the owner of the tiny 85 person company I last worked at, it’s not uncomm

So where’s your list of these “other contributors“? People answered your question, and your response was “wrong, try again.”

I’m content to charge every day, but I need the thing to be guaranteed to last the length of a slow mountain 50 miler. Remember the intro of the original Ultra, with Scott Jurek? You know Jurek, won Western States 100 (et al.) a few times?

That said, I'm a distance runner and within our cohort almost none of us want to buy Fenix's anymore. Depending on your definition of “cohort”, that’s simply not true. I see plenty of late-model Fenix in the wild. And, yeah, the
