Probably because there is money to be made from advertising/sharing user data and human customers don't have the money to see you like businesses.

One thing that I noticed in this article and charts was the unprecedented growth of auto loans. They too have skyrocketed. That seems like another "bubble" waiting to happen.

Remember when Opera had a free version with an ad on it? Ah those days... Hopefully Mozilla will not go down that path. I certainly don't think so with all they are doing in respect to privacy.

Yeah, that's a no from me. Who would want another massive heat-generative, power-hungry desktop/server humming along in their home office as their main workstation? Now if I were to build a home lab, heck yeah I would jump on boar

That looks like a fantastic feature, especially due to the fact that you can use Apple Pencil to control your Mac. I wonder if that will cannibalize Wacom sales. Having used both Apple Pencil + iPad Pro and a Wacom tablet (separately), I fo

Human mind is most creative when it's idle. That's where unplugging and turning down your cellphone would help. With the advent of smart phones and being constantly plugged in, I feel like we've lost our ability to be creativ

This is the truth in my case. Having quit my last job yielded in a huge payout (5 figures). I do understand that this was basically the salary for the time off that I didn’t take. I still took decent amount of vacations but over time with P

Try Bose soundsports. They’re $200 as well but battery life is great and they tend to really stay in your ear canal.

Good point. 997 and 991 generation 911 weight distribution is around 38%-62% split (front vs rear). I'm not too sure on weight numbers of battery packs these days, but perhaps these could be split between front and rear of the car to g

What if the battery pack was placed where the engine is in the 911? I do admit the frame would have to be strengthened even more to protect the battery pack, but that's no different than an engine. I would presumably think that rear-pl

Porsche interiors are typically solid (albeit German-ly engineered, especially the cupholders). It'll be miles ahead of Model 3 interior.

Well, politicians and American media tend to sell Mexico as a 3rd-world hellhole (which it isn’t) and Canada as a socialist utopia with death panels and high taxes (which it isn’t). So people find another escape while feeling helpless.

Cool fact: Porsche 930 is nicknamed "Widowmaker" because it had a tendency to steer rear-first into trees back in the day.

Outlook on Mojave looks real bad until you disable Dark Mode just for Outlook. I think Office suite for macOS needs some UI improvements to look better in Dark Mode. At least for text boxes when composing email.
