Intermittent keyboard problems are the early signs. But I haven’t heard of it affecting just a single key. The trackpad and keyboard both use the ribbon cable, so when it fails completely, both the trackpad and keyboard will stop responding

Hey, what was wrong with your keyboard? Was the trackpad also not working when you had keyboard problems? You may have had a common issue with the 2015 Macbook Pros, literally tens of thousands of people have Googled that problem on Youtube

Add me to the list of people who don't give a crap about the keyboard, so long as it's functional. The #1 thing I was looking for when I opened the page was... "how many relevant ports does it have? will I have to carry aroun

This would probably be my go-to from now on when canceling a service. Kind of sucks to have to pay for registered mail but sounds like it’s a sure fire way to cut through the bs and maybe that’s worth the postage. I’ve once signed up for a

hopefully the server connected to the wider internet can only receive from the wider internet and not send anything to the wider internet. Otherwise it can just be used as a proxy to the server that’s not connected to the internet.

I can do the NATO alphabet when speaking to a human, that’s a good suggestion. One thing though, when speaking to a robot, they’re not usually programmed for that. They want exact letters and numbers that their speech-to-text engine can con

I actually have a speech impairment (a stutter) and you’d think people would be willing to accommodate. I can speak just fine when I have complete agency over the words I choose to say, but it’s the absolute worst when I have to read out so

This has less to do with the use of A/B testing than it does the experimental design. What are they testing for in their metrics? Is it just click rates? Well that’s a patently losing strategy in the long term. What if whether or not y

I disagree. The type of city that a big company would say “yes” to is the same type of city that could grow an ecosystem. Big established companies don’t like moving their headquarters into no-where-ville, they like being in places that any

Despite the scientific method giving rise to the fact-based ever-improving test-able body of work we call Science.. that doesn’t stop people from creating their own religions and beliefs based on it.

not always. Just finished up a 7 week deadline in 12. 2x in my experience has been a fairly reliable estimate. A 3-4x project has either gone completely out of scope or was poorly estimated. And it’s not always the development team’s fault.
