It took Google tens of thousands of paid top tier developer hours to make Android useable. I'm betting never. In a year or two there's going to be some nasty passive aggressive apology blaming the woes of the world for why it coul

Get on a plane and arrive at Stripe's corporate office in person. That's how you get your answer.

When I quit Facebook a few years back I read up on the details of how these profiles function. They're tied to a name, birthday and phone number. Now Facebook takes the deleted profile of a user and can still sell it for a tidy sum ($6

The keyboard issues are fixed. The 2019 16 inch MBP is the best laptop I ever used and I feel very privileged to have the opportunity. Apple is expensive there's no getting around that. They have the best product on the market, it can&

If it has the Apple logo you'll be fine. Seriously though, the Intel 16 inch MBP or the M1X 16 inch due to be released in a few days are the best choice hands down, if you can afford it. Sounds like you could also benefit from an iPad

There's nothing new here. I remember having those features in the Nokia N900 in 09. I think this product is grossly overpriced for a cheap generic Android phone loaded with a beta Linux distro. In Shenzhen they'll sell you a case

Then buy any of the 3 billion Android handsets. Most average $100 and were out of beta in 08'.

$400? Absolutely never.

Apple's daisy recycling robot is a taste of what's coming. Personally I wouldn't use a product that has been in an independent repair shop, having worked in several as a side gig while I was in college. They hardly ever use E

Because it's not 1/10th of the problem being addressed, it's more like 1/10,000th. What I'm suggesting needs to be appreciated visually. Only then is the meaning of the scale of the issue apparent. I'm against

If I gave the impression I'm against it, I'm not. It's nice to have repairability, a bonus feature, but not a competitive or innovative incentive to purchase over the, and at this point everyone has to admit, very well design

Most electronics fail from manufacturing defects within 6 months of use. After that, it will probably last as long as you want to use it, or until you pour coffee on it. Excluding the battery. Just because something might fail doesn't

I think you overestimate - wildly - how much people care about the environment. Further the idea that recycling as policy offsets pollution is a delusion. That issue needs to be solved by materials science before even the design phase, not

People supporting this are missing the point. When you look at the demographic responsible for purchasing the majority of these types of product, they have enough expendable income to buy a replacement every 5 years at least. The minority i

Apps that refuse to function unless you provide them permissions they have no business asking for should be banned.

Android can't be secured unless it's stock with verified boot/ root of trust. Even then, the verified apps from the store leak your data at every opportunity, as does the OS. iPhone is the way to go

2PM on a bus by Powell station a crazy homeless guy broke a full 40oz over the back of my head without any warning. He thought I was following him on behalf of the government because I had a bright red Nexus 5 phone. I've also seen 2 s

TMobile has a great service. I'm on their $15 unlimited talk and text including 2GB 5G, having moved away from Google Fi who billed me $50 for reselling exactly that. Trouble is dealing with the lying salespeople in the TMobile stores.

I mean the streets are covered in human shit and there are homeless insane people shooting up waiting to sneak attack you if you drop your guard. If you take shelter in a Walgreens you will find thieves filling up trash bags with goods from

Berkeley is almost a village with a uniform liberal population, many young affluent students. San Francisco is a large city, and at scale is where these policies break down. You can't walk through downtown SF, their system has failed.

You couldn't pay me to live in San Francisco, but Berkeley and Mountain View are to die for. Conservatives have used San Francisco as an example of failed excessive liberal policies, and as a liberal, I have to agree. It's a total

Skeptical. This diet is just eat nuts and fish with advertising for other food industries marketed on superstition. Nuts and fish provide the benefit. You can't solve a a chronic disease based on a molecular process by eating less McDo

Double? I'd pay 10x that and still be happy. It's outperforming my $4600 MBP for utility. I don't understand why you need to pay double is that import tax? I could relay ship you one potentially.

For $300 the Quest 2 is the product of the decade. Buy one, seriously, just buy one. I paid 2200 for an iPad pro M1, but I haven't spent an hour with it since I got it 3 months ago. The oculus has 100% of my attention. I watch YouTube,

Oculus quest 2. Reminds me of the first iPhone. So much potential, and they finally have the basics for the platform right.

Why would I pay some no name app creator 10% of my revenue? Apple earns their cut. Who are these outsiders?

After returning 4 Pixel phones last year for terrible QA issues, and the total incompetence of Google Fi, there is a 0 chance of me purchasing another madebygoogle product in my lifetime. Can't wait for my iPhone 13pm to arrive. I also
