So, I spent EUR 1799 on the new MacBook Pro. The keyboard started missing keys and typing 2 characters per keystroke after two months. Then, the shift key started working only once ever three times. Battery would last 2 hours at the most. I

I thought it was impossible, but I guess those that said that Apple without Steve Jobs would go to waste were right. They won't go bankrupt anytime soon, but it's not the same Apple. I've personally switched to PC with Xfce a

I think it's a perfect example, actually. Apple made its fortune by paying attention to the small details.

PIA's server is in the US, though. Isn't that kind of weird for a privacy-focused company?

There's a huge difference between a proposal and a law. However, the EU succeeded in passing the idiotic requirement for cookie notices, so I guess it's not a bad idea to watch out for more.

Got it. I guess it's a different way to do certain things that you might like better, and you'll stick to it instead of your phone. Doesn't it bother you to have to recharge it, though?

A friend of mine buys everything Apple releases, and the Apple Watch is probably the most useless piece of electronics I've ever seen. He used it for a couple of weeks, but I don't think I wouldn't have lasted more than 2-3 d

I agree with what you're saying, but tribes are often extremely biased, and might want to see what they believe instead of the other way around. In theory, newspapers (or other authority figures) should in theory report facts while sta

A few years ago you would have Apple fans bragging about how Apple is so much better, but now it's just as bad. You have Linux left, but then again I accidentally removed the wrong package the other day and I made my system completely

It might look like censorship, but they probably realized that most ads where getting similar to penis enlargment ads and thought they didn't want to be associated with that.

Sorry, it seemed from my comment that we care about mobile, but we'd be happy if this worked on the desktop. I'm wondering if we can optimize the full-fledged high-end game engine so that some components that are not used are not
