It’s normally a good idea to understand something you are criticising. Pantone do not ‘claim’ colours. They provide exact colour mixes for a variety of differing substrates and materials that guarantees exact replication. For that vast majo

Clearly not. I see the claim on every post that mentions ProtonMail. As far as I am concerned, ProtonMail is quite simply snakeoil at this stage.

I’m a weird freakish anomaly that actually prefers lighter color schemes. I’ve found that, with some tweaks, the default light scheme in Sublime Text to be pretty awesome. It’s calle Breakers. The greys are a little too light, but I find th

I think this is a much clearer take, well, at least to me! The key here, and if I'm mistaken - forgive me, is that a good manager needs to be a good communicator, but doesn't get in your way. By the same token, it can be said that

Yes, but in order to do the level of management you are asking, it necessitates they become micro managers. This is a considerably worse state of affairs, as you allude. Managing is about helping you grow as an employee, helping you with yo

I think this is exactly what is going on. The last change saw a few long threads here decrying Apple as the AntiChrist for daring to make the change, and arguing for Micro USB, which was and remains a bad standard.

I don't think they are overpriced, I think that they price their product realistically . They're competing in a niche market and the ethos of that niche means that their target customers categorically will not accept the bloat th

It's not personal, but I've seen similar comments all the way down this thread. This is not what unintuitive means! What you mean is that you are used to using Explorer and Finder follows different paradigms that you're not u

I highly recommend reading "Who Moved My Cheese?" By Dr Spencer Johnson. I'm not one for self-help books, but this really did make me think about how I look at change generally.

No, but you do have undiscussed conditions to enter...

I wholeheartedly agree :)

Is it? I mean really "unacceptable"? Inconvenient, perhaps, but "unacceptable"? Sounds pretty first-worldy to me...

Lol! If you live near a store, take it in. I’ve had lots of good experiences with Apple stores and soft/hardware issues. The ‘geniuses’ can be a a bit full of themselves, but all in all outcomes are good.

In order for that consumer-grade hardware to be that cheap, the vendors add bloatware from other vendors to augment the loss of profits by selling at close to cost, or at least a severely limited margin. This has a knock on effect of making

The "Backwards compatibility" issue is an interesting one. For years, companies like Adobe used OSX upgrades as an excuse to force paid upgrades. Hardware manufactures did (still do?) this with Windows drivers. The other side is t

I'd get that checked out. It's definitely not normal behaviour.

From a development point of view, you may have a point, though mechanisms to circumvent this are addressed in this thread. But for the typical user, or indeed other 'Pros', these are not showstoppers. Since the topic of the whole

Gordon Brown selling off our gold reserves wasn't the smartest move. But as you mention, the UK hasn't seen growth in our GDP since 2010. Which Party has been in power since May of 2010?

The big question is whether he can unify the Tories, or at least gain the majority backing him, which I doubt as the current members seem hell bent on their own power gains and increasing their own wealth no matter the cost to our economy

You seem to conveniently forget that Tories in parliament won him that vote. All the usual Tory rags (the Sun, Dailies Mail and Express and the Times) were all extremely hawkish, as we’re the leading Tories.
