> I know many who almost never charge their phones, essentially always living at 5%. That's amazing since I'm the opposite. I always try to be near or at 100% (both phone & laptop) while I'm at my desk.

Having two on each side (plus optional USB hubs) seems to be plenty. USB-C isn't perfect, but being able to charge from either side is a quality of life improvement.

I don't agree with the overall premise that native apps will disappear. I agree that certain apps, such as the static content Wix example, don't need to exist. I found the article unconvincing. The core argument is that native app

I run Picasa on my Windows 7 machine, but the latency when loading DSLR JPGs is too slow. Thus the software is unusable for me. Here's an old discussion of the slow refining behavior (to view a JPG) https://productforums.goo

I miss Google Reader too. Now I use TheOldReader (no affiliation) which tries to be like Google Reader. It does the job for me.

Even though the author doesn't like Hot Corners, I use Hot Corners willingly to enable screen saver & lock. It's built in to the OS and works fine as long as you don't habitually move your cursor to the corner(s).

If you could transact in a basket of Crypto assets dealing with your brokerage instead of Coinbase, that sounds like you would be able to get better support if an issue occurred.

That's interesting. They can include anyone that uses Chase Quickpay in their "Zelle" metrics. Mind you, I'm referring to people who use QuickPay in the Chase app and not those who have downloaded the newer Zelle app.

Agree, the MBP keyboard is holding me back from buying a new MacBook. Unacceptable for a $$$$ device to have unreliable basics.

The points brought up are mostly valid complaints. Although Apple would never increase the device thickness to give the user more battery life. I’m holding off on buying a MBP as the current keyboard has terrible travel distance and seems t

While coinbase & BTC seems to be doing well, I've anecdotally seen a bunch of people who can't get a response from coinbase support over long periods of time. Doesn't make relying on coinbase seem like a good idea.

I hate Comcast. Not reliable and no accountability for down time in the Bay Area. If their internet service goes down, good luck on getting an ETA on when it comes back or any actual credit to your account for lost service.

It would be nice if Apple kept the audio jack on the plus iPhone models. There should be space for it. But that would ruin Apple’s narrative.
