Have you thought about keeping your pantry full as a reserve and still eating out / getting delivery a lot? It’s what I’ve been doing since I want my favorite restaurants to still be around when this is all over.

I'd appreciate it if you could begin. I read the article and didn't spot anything seriously wrong.

It appears to be a Windows limitation - I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that AMD supports all the same extensions for it (under AMD rather than Intel branding) and it appears the Windows team is (finally) working on it. I un

Not sure who needs to hear this, but another _huge_ Windows 10 limitation: no support for nested virtualization on amd processors. This means Ryzen users can’t benefit from a bunch of security improvements and also things like the new Windo

Buy a $400 device and hold onto it for a few years. The android device needs to be replaced every 2 years and subjects you to misery for the last half of its life. The old iPhone is going to work as well as, if not better than, a new androi

Yeah, I've tried to get a therapist here in SoCal and it is an absolute nightmare. Its one of those things where clearly I don't _need_ it, but I'd probably be a lot healthier and happier with it. But even thought I have good

You won't lose weight if your sleep or hydration aren't right. Composition of what you're eating matters; I personally find a low-carb low-calorie diet more sustainable than a high-carb low-calorie diet. You also won't l

Not even Azure uses Bing Maps. Instead of using their own existing mapping platform, Microsoft created Azure Maps, complete with a totally independent data store, rendering, etc. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence. I miss the Bing maps

The only mentioned cost is that they can't change the sign without review. If a business is going to go bust because they couldn't change their sign on a dime, the business probably wasn't viable in the first place. This read

I’ve been a huge Todoist fan and premium subscriber since 2013. At the time it was hard to find anything that got task management right and worked on every platform. One question: are you still innovating/investing in the core to-do ex

That part you’re getting wrong is that the anti-trust scrutiny comes _just_ from being hugely successful. That wasn’t enough - it was about how Microsoft achieved that success with Windows and how they were using that success in the OS mark

I know, if anything that makes it more embarrassing for Android - Google controls that whole system and they're still not beating WKWebview on their flagship device. Going between Android and iOS, that's one of the hardest aspects

Its more the massive privacy, security, longevity, and performance penalty you pay switching to Android that causes concern. Android has some nifty features depending on device, but the core experience just isn’t there. (E.g. I figured chro

It’s just really not hard to claim to be more secure than Android. Sure iOS is an issue, but I don’t think anyone would believe Android is more secure than Windows Phone.
