I was skeptical but there's actually a few things in there I might try. I'm very motivated to move away from Gmail, for example.

How would you define "ethical" in a way that covers Word, Chrome, Twitter and Dropbox?

I keep forgetting that they killed the ESC-key. Wow. What I never got is: Yea, add a touch-bar if you want, Apple, but why not stick it above the F-keys row? It's standardized for decades, programs actually use it. Why remove the F

I never switched from Firefox in 10+ years and somehow, this still affects me. Blaming users isn't the solution. This is an issue of enforcing standards (in whichever way), you can't expect the entirety of internet users to sudden

I'd say "alright, time to move on from Apple!" but what competition do they even have in the niche of high quality, UX-focused computer products? There's maybe some that do one or two things really well, but for a full-p

I'm in the same boat but it's really bitter since there is no real competition, is there? I don't want to switch to Linux (sorry, guys!), I don't like Windows and even just in terms of hardware, almost all competing lapt

I'm very skeptical about this as well but an argument I saw on here that I found kinda convincing was a comparison to the usual job of a "secretary". Most interactions are verbal and there's a wide variety of tasks that

You're right, that headline is awfully cynical! Who ever said that giving out free money helps people get a job? I think its proponents have a more utopian view and see it as a way to compensate for future trends in automation which co

I tend to defend Apple because I believe their commitment to "quality" as a being defined by every possible angle of hardware and software design as opposed to one, simple, established measurement, is something computer/devic

Same could be said about operating systems, yet we have Linux.

Text auto-translation has come a long way, this is seriously impressive. It completely re-arranges sentence structure to make it read right in English.

I don't know why I should trust Super Micro investigating Super Micro. I understand that Apple is bullish about there not being any evidence of their current hardware being compromised but it seems to me like it doesn't prove it n

It's all the code areas in the documentation, like the npm commands here: http://tabulator.info/docs/4.1/quickstart If that helps, console says it failed to load the following (but gave no reason): > https

I've been looking for something like that. It's not too reassuring to see the documentation not display code correctly (black on black text on Firefox?).

Windows doesn’t have true competition. Facebook has. Even if they’re clever and buying lots of it. Still, Instagram has nowhere near the amount of neatly categorized personal data as Facebook which is interesting.

I hate the "cookie law" for this very reason. It just resulted in more popups which became at best white noise, at worst a genuine annoyance for users. Cookie-consent popups are a part of most ad-blockers, which should make you th

We're 5 years away from this shit being regulated away in Europe for good. It's ridiculous. The only reason it's not illegal is that we never had the technology so no reason to worry about it.

It’s our fault? Good luck betting on the general population researching alternatives, then. I use Firefox religiously but have no illusions that it will take over because people’s idealism.

Microsoft was only held back by their own incompetence. GFWL, Internet Explorer, Zune, Windows mobile, the Microsoft Store,... they had all the power in the world to force that upon us but failed because their products were _so_ bad even no

I had to deal with PDF metadata for work and it's a deep rabbit hole. Lots of standardization headaches, too, especially when combined with PDF/A and such.

I don't think it is, read closer. They're referencing this survey: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/09/05/americans-ar... The 26% number is adults, total. The 44% number is people 18-2
