I don't exactly know how law works everywhere, but one thing I hear is that US is one of the only places where you can see ads for prescription drugs on TV and "ask your doctor about it". That might provide some clues.

One reddit ad I saw was from a company that provides the service to "back up your GitHub repositories". Don't know if that company is still around.

Not comparable. I paid $7k for an upright piano (which is a rookie number not worth bragging about) which is my biggest purchase other than a car so far, plus ongoing $90 weekly lessons, but I won't ever regret because it is a very mea

Oh, what's that called? Virtual monitor? Dude just go to Quest store or Google Play store and see how many apps exist out there.

You have lived in your bubble for too long. Just talk to people around you -- could include other software engineers or tech enthusiasts -- and I'm sure most people don't think about the product the same way you feel. I'll pu

That's just a chromium skin that runs on Android.

The usv github repository says it is "the standard for data markup of ...", has 66 stars, and is currently applying for "text/usv" MIME type. That's all about it. Maybe I'll consider it when it does not

...as if command line is the most intuitive way of doing things, provides all the workflows and solves all the problems, while GUI has no additional benefit. Maybe for you, but not for many (if not most) people.

How can the ability to transfer data to another cloud provider or your own server increase price?? Doesn't that mean there is more & fairer competition?

It's not possible before Amazon can build their own browser that runs on their own OS. (Or, if they can somehow get the Android/Linux version of Chrome run on the OS.) As simple as that.

Nah, they have plenty of voices on Facebook or when they call their senators.

Yes all LLMs have problems. But some are better than others, and there are benchmarks used for comparing the models. Also, in terms of PR, I don't remember OpenAI having messed up like this -- having one really bad incident is worse

Honestly I don't think it is worth bringing Surface devices into the discussion. Microsoft isn't even trying. They only care about enterprise customers and are not competitive in the consumer market at all. Maybe look at some high

I just find it fascinating that people think Macbooks are faster without even bothering to at least look at some benchmarks as context. Sure, M processors are good, but Intel and AMD aren't really sleeping the past few years, but rathe

Battery life is important, but does 6hr vs 9hr vs 16hr actually matter to you? Do you actually carry your laptop around all day without access to power outlets? If not, I don't see why that should be a factor.

Based on "marginally more expensive", I have to say you live in a bubble and likely won't understand the replies. Just to point out one fact -- people buy $289 Gateway laptops from Walmart and use it as their daily driver.

Recently got a ThinkPad T14s gen 4 with top-of-the-line AMD 7840U, 32GB RAM and 512GB SSD, for just a bit over $1k. It has very good build quality, is powerful yet quiet, and has decent battery life. It supports up to 4 displays. That'

How is Dell warranty comparable to iOS/MacOS updates? Maybe at least compare that to something related to operating system, like Windows 10/Ubuntu LTS support lifecycle, or Android major version updates, which are usually much lon

"Users can buy a MacBook Pro" as if $500 isn't money to you. Maybe it indeed isn't, but that is a lot of money to many people. FYI Intel Macbook Air has supported dual external monitors 2018-2020, and same for base Macbo

You forgot to mention the 256GB SSD. I had a Macbook Pro 2015 with 256GB SSD. (Base model was 128GB). It was a very painful experience even back then. Yet almost ten years later, we are here, still paying $200 to upgrade to 512GB, when almo

You think a small amount of PWA users getting affected by this actually matter to "public opinion". It is probably safe to say a random person on the street in EU doesn't know what PWA is.

Are we talking about laws applying to the real world or applying to an imaginary situation? Because, you know, I can also imagine a world where a lot of things are different from what they look like now. But that doesn't matter.
