Erm, that PCjr keyboard from 1986 sure as shit isn't a laptop keyboard. I said: > ... which was the first _laptop_ to have a Fn key was released 5 years before the PowerBook G3 that had the same. I'll happy be stood corrected

That's a pretty sweeping generalisation on it's own. You personally interacting via iMessage with people in the EU has absolutely no bearing on this. When people say that 'no-one' uses iMessage, they are really saying sa

Thinkpad 500, which was the first laptop to have a Fn key was released 5 years before the PowerBook G3 that had the same. You may carry on blaming IBM.

You used to have to sign up and install a profile. As of iOS 15, it’s a toggle in the update settings. It still takes a deliberate action to enable though.

Maya was an Alias|Wavefront product, which was a subsidiary of SGI. It came along way after Pixar had been spun out of ILM. John Knoll, who co-developed Photoshop with his brother Thomas, is still at ILM as the CCO.

In my experience, it's entirely manufacturer-dependent. Comparing Apple, Dell and Lenovo, the Dell and the Apple machines (MacBook Pros and XPS 13) have had no problems. Both feel as good as the day they were purchased. The Lenovo (Thi

Ticketmaster merged with LiveMaster, a promoter and venue owner/operator. They are the promoter + venue in your equation and have a global monopoly.

Historically, SMS messages have had green bubbles since the iPhone was introduced in 2007. When Apple introduced iMessage in 2011, the showed iMessages in blue, and maintained the green for SMS messages. They are not “cross-platform” messag

Not for a while. The first revamp was 2.5, then another big one with 2.8, which was the starting point for the current UI, in 2019.

So disagreeing with someone else’s behaviour when choosing their tech means they have Stockholm syndrome? No, you may not think you’re being hostile, but you are.

To be honest, I was in the same boat with M1 -> M2. Not that the M2 wasn’t an improvement, and as pointed out this article compares M2 Max to M3 Pro, it’s just that M1 was so much better than my i7 based MBP that the gains made by M2 wer
