I'm just thinking more in terms of hardware. Trackpad, keyboard, display, hinges, ports, support, battery life-- all of those (in my experience) tend to either be poor out of the box or decay rapidly for many machines. I've used a

A big factor is how these machines age too, though. 4 years ago the 2020 M1 Macbook Air dropped, and it's still a fantastic computer today. On the other hand, I don't think I would enjoy using a 4 year old Lenovo Ideapad today

I do think it's telling that some people on the internet are asking Gemeni ghoulish questions, and then saying "Google hates conservatives" when it doesn't respond like how they expect.

Hey do you guys remember when Microsoft spent years in court because they bundled a browser with an operating system?

That's kind of my point though. Written rules sacrifice specificity for brevity all the time, and it works for most reasonable people most of the time.

The presuppositions are what make the question interesting. It's an explicit test of pedantry.

"No vehicles in the park" is a rule explicitly written for humans, and rules written for humans have reasonable and obvious exceptions which don't have to be explicitly stated. If a convenience store says "No Shirt, No S

The original iPhone didn't even launch with apps. A big part of the vision was that "apps" would be dynamic websites which you could create links to on your home screen. I think if the web tooling ecosystem was up to snuff at

How am I fooling myself by appreciating a well executed metaphor? I see a lot of comments interrogating an art piece as if it were a scientific experiment, and to me that misses the point. You wouldn't look at Van Gogh's Starry Ni

I don't see how it's dishonest. The artist is transparent in his methodology, and the metaphor (engagement = treats) is clear. Either way, this is an art piece so it isn't subject to the same kinds of rigor or scrutiny of a s

It's an artistic remix of the classic Skinner Box experiment. The creator is an artist, not a scientist, and his point is being artistically rather than scientifically. As a sidenote: Social media has been described as a skinner box
