What the point of comparison? Isn't 18 hour battery and Genius Bar part of the "luxury"? Like I say Audi is a luxury car because a Toyota costs less than half as much, and you ask "what about a Toyota with leather seats&

I think you need to be very clear about what your goal is -- just playing with different "real" hardware, or running some small models as experiments, or trying to do semi-serious work with LLMs? How much do you want to spend on h

I assume this is a joke pointing to Google's chat app situation, but regardless here is my serious answer: I don't think the executives need to do anything themselves at a company like Google -- whether it is their (managed) phone

The w3techs number is often quoted, but it has never been validated by anybody else, and its methodology is very questionable if not flat out wrong.

You can safely assume everything that comes out of Microsoft is designed with Figma.

I would put "for Linux" rather than "written in Rust" in the repository description. One is more important than the other. Priorities.

I receive emails from Schwab and it seems very straightforward -- there is a personalized link sent to your email, you click it and start to vote. It shows how many shares your have, what the questions are along with the board's recomm

If this didn't happen in the 90s, it's never going to happen. Just to throw something out there: most of the things in the web ecosystem use MIT license, and we have seen both open source communities and commercial companies benef

Why would Apple give up 18 billion dollars (per year) from Google? Privacy? That's just a marketing slogan, they are tracking you across first party apps. And privacy is never worth 18 billion dollars.

The app store page doesn't mention debugging, so I assume it's not there. And probably not "go to definition". Completion quality is also questionable. These are very hard problems, even for a language with strict typing

While this is doable, it is far from an enjoyable experience -- many packages are not available on iSH or have issues, for example. Most people are not going to replace their laptop with these two apps.

A story going in completely different direction -- I have a Sony Xperia phone from 2017. It has stopped receiving OS updates after Android 8, and I don't use it any more other than occasionally as a backup phone. A while ago, I discove

I don't think you "get rid of" UAC, you just put the author's name on the screen instead of unknown publisher. (And why do you need elevated privilege? Most applications don't) unless you are referring to "smar

Don't be fooled, while it is nice they do this, at the end of the day it is just greenwashing. They design their laptops in such way that they are not (easily) repairable, and the failure of one component could mean replacement of the

Well, Android development has noticably slowed down and got less attention. Look at Android 14 page. What are those "new features"? Not really worth talking about it you compare with previous versions. And Android 14 barely got me

(I never participated in the AOSP project or read the commit logs, so this is just gathered from news) My impression is that big features come directly from Google, although I do know that OEMs contribute things here and here, like Sony &qu

I suspect they intentionally skipped that part because it contains "proprietary" techniques they don't want to make public.

That's really a stretch to equate cancelling products to product EOL. I don't think I need to explain it -- anyone who ever looked at the release cycle of Python, Ubuntu, Django, Node.js etc understands why it is common and makes

The first sentence has almost no meaning. Basically anyone who has a 401k or SP500/VOO/etc owns significant amount of Apple stock. Not something worth pointing out.

I thought this kind of waterfall layout was cool and trendy a few years ago, but these days very few websites are doing it?
