This is actually true for most of the countries. The governments take the biggest cut through the whole process: 1. Sales 2. Approvals 3. Duties 4. Rates So the higher the prices, the higher their revenue would be. And the inflation caused

Haha, nope, it never worked. Such issue started from the very first day. I was one of beta testers that got invitation from Google directly. I was super surprised that new created email address started to receive spams almost immediately. S

More and more user hostile moves. Whether to close a tab, it never a decision for the browser to make.

Haha, why would anyone be surprised to see that? Just take a look at other M$ products, pretty much the same.

Actually, to my surprise, the answer is YES!! I was trying to consolidate my chargers into a single charging station and I didn't realize started a saga. Eventually I had to give up. While I was getting down the rabbit hole, I tested d

Haha, you reminded me of the days when some of my friends arguing iPhone's signal wasn't that bad but just could not make the call when everyone else could.

Now almost everything is glued on. Even with proper tools, opening without damaging is almost impossible.

It's never the device vendor's decision to make on how users should their devices. That's not something to argue about.

In other words, US is about to lose its hegemony and it's doing whatever it can to maintain. But doing this will not only hurt Chinese companies as US counterparties also lose a revenue source and in turn reducing their capacities in r

Come on, they don't even make phones with user replaceable batteries anymore, some even caught red-handed deliberately slowing down old devices which were actually perfectly fine. The reason behind all those malicious behaviors is simp

IMHO, if no breaking through, we'll probably never get there, based on whatever we have right now in so called AI field.

CRUD only, wow, so easy!!! I'm pretty sure someone has seen the following joke: The husband told by the wife: "Buy a watermelon, if you see eggs, buy a dozen" before going out. So he went home with a dozen watermelons.

Whether it can be done is one thing, but whether it's worth doing is another thing.

Nope, scanner one has already been the case IMO. I had a Cannon MFP, a set of ink cartridges costed around $80 which could yield no more than 80 pages. I realized that and decided to only use the scanner and dumped the empty cartridges. And

Recently there is a very bad trend in dev tools that IDEs etc. tend to hide as many details as possible. Unfortunately, some of those details are vital to understand how things work in the first place. The latest example is in dotnet6, Main

But you forgot to mention one vital thing: layoffs make the financial sheets look much better at given spot, and the C*Oes might even get a bonus for it. Giving in most of the cases, the executives are just employees, they cannot care less

For me I don't really need 5G at all as 4G already fast enough. I did not realize my phone was actually 5G until noticed the battery could barely make the day. So I looked the battery statistics, and it seemed the radio ate lots of bat

Large ship takes longer to turn around. What we can see now was something from maybe over a decade ago. Especially PCs are now with more than enough processing power. Once people decided to go for AMD or even arm, they are highly unlikely t

Intel virtually have been selling the same thing for over a decade. It's good for business as long as they can maintain their hegemony. But the thing is if you don't change, someone will change you. And that's how it gets her

I think I went through a similar saga and unfortunately I had to give up as none was even close to my expectations. What I was after was only a charger with 8 or more ports.

Named brands are not necessarily good. In mid-2022 I tried to consolidate my chargers (Lots came with phones/pads etc. one 4 ports, and one 6 ports in particular. Most of those came with devices support PD and are 18w at least. However

I would expect the opposite. Argentinians do that coz Argentinian banks cannot be trusted(they learnt it from banks forced converting foreign currencies held in their acounts). But still, they will need to convert back to peso so that they

Hell no. Becoming a bank means being heavily regulated, which is obviously not good for their biz.

Maybe a better solution would be "Find a new ISP"?

Okay, those were just topics discussed extensively in uni courses. It's pretty clear what to expect but seems people just rediscover it like something new now and then.

There is a high cost of switching tech stack for companies, especially when availability of alternatives is unclear yet. So lots of companies will have no choice but pay for it. But for individuals it would be a complete different story. I&

I guess it might be because the nature of your work. When I started as a SE over a decade ago, my job was really just writing code according to the specs. Typing speed was important as I wrote over 100k lines of code in the very first year.
