To be honest, I kinda like Apple's "walled garden" approach on some level. No perfect, not ideal for power-users, but for the general non-techy person, I think it's great. I don't have to worry about my kids install

Apple should just make two laptops: Macbook and Macbook Pro. Convert the current Macbook Air into a 13" Macbook that is more in line with the Air's price. The Pro should be a pro machine. Plenty of ports and no touch bar non sence

The problem is that money is now immaterial, numbers in a computer somewhere, but we live in a material world. Imagine your city desperately needs to build a new subway station or hospital. It has the civil engineers, the architects, the ma

Same for me. I tried to switch back to Firefox a couple of times in the past and couldn't do it. Performance wasn't there and the UI would often hang without response. But Quantum changed everything. I've been using Nightly s

I agree. The podcasts I enjoy the most are produced by radios (CBC, NPR, BBC) because there's not much fluff, inside jokes and rambling from the hosts. The audio is good, the content is good and well presented by the hosts. Sometimes t

Creating a browser engine from scratch is no easy task. Knowing this, why not use a quality browser such as Chromium as a base and build on it? Their goal and priority are to change the advertising and monetization of the web, not build ano

I had a couple of episodes of sleep paralysis where I experienced auditory hallucinations. Often times, the voices I heard were clear as day, which was strange since I wore ear plugs during a lot of these experiences. Also, I saw an article

Perhaps something like a coop would be optimal? The coop would have to turn a profit, but then it has to be transparent in its management because in the end, it must serve the interest of its members.

Google buying Qualcomm? That could be interesting for sure, but I don't think that would happen.

I would say yes. Intel are better at marketing than AMD (think decades of TV ads and the little Intel Inside stickers).

I wonder if something like Flutter could end up replacing Electron eventually.

Yep. It is quite apparent in the latest Batman vs Superman movie.

I know there's alternative ROMs such as LineageOS, but I wish it was possible to install Android directly from Google. Like, you download an app from the Play Store, it scans your hardware and download a fresh Android build from Google

I wish there was more Android One devices in North-America. Cheap, good, "stock Android" + garanteed updates.

How regular is Motorola/Lenovo regarding security updates?

I disagree. Google is much more "humanistic" today than it was years ago when they had a more "bare bone" design approach.

I saw a modern monastery once. It had a great contemporary design and the place was built to encourage contemplation and inner peace. I bet working there is amazing.

You're right. This is bad.

The difference here, IMO, is that iPhones and Windows/Linux/Mac PCs will receive a patch in a couple of weeks, but how many perfectly working Android phones are now abandoned by their manufacturer? How many Android phones beside G

The fact that a lot of OEMs don't push monthly security patches doesn't help.

You should take a look at this post from Android Police: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/10/10/google-nerfing-home-... Apparently there's a feature in the Google Home Mini that allows you to long press

Jobs definitely saw the bigger picture: computers must be tools for everybody, not just technical people. The work that was done by Xerox PARC, Apple, Microsoft, Google and countless others over the years to make complex tools usable by eve

Wow, I didn't even know they had a web client! It's truly unbelievable that MS spent resources on this product only to let it fail.

Here's what MS should have done: make Groove available on the web, macOS, Roku, and give more love to the Android/iOS apps. Implement social functionality, Last.fm integration, live performance, innovate more. I never saw an ad fo

There's no free plan (beyond the trial phase) on Apple Music, so I bet they're making much more money than Spotify.

Apple is already making their own SoC. Could they also make their own ISP as well? I realize Sony is the top player here, but this is Apple we're talking about and they have boatloads of cash and competent engineers.

I agree. Sometimes these substances act like a bulldozer that destroy doors that should have remained closed. For some people, opening these "doors" will lead to more harm than good. I am not writing this to demonize psychedelics,
