Fundraising numbers. Others dropping out would count as progress too I guess. Although polling is still in single digit but 5-6% is certainly progress from 2-3%.

However, their Chinese subsidiaries are also called "精工“, which is identical to the watch company. Their history page says it was renamed from 正興 to Seiko Advance in 1950. http://www.seikoadvance.co.jp/en/company&#

Interesting. So is Japan even more wasteful when their whole society uses so much human and material resources classifying their rubbish?

China is anything but future over present. Massive infrastructures are a result of stimulating the economy for short term stats over long term economic sustainability. Same with terrible pollution and countless political and security measur

I bought the pre-16 inch MBP specifically for the keyboard. It's joyful and effortless to type on at the same time. Hands down the best laptop keyboard. (I used ThinkPads exclusively for more than a decade before coming to Macs)

That's true. But here in China Android is much much more aggressively spied and surveilled by both manufacturers and government I'm more than happy to stay with Apple.

After years of searching I’ve pretty much settled on one note-taking app: Apple Notes. Quite unexpected to me as well because I started off just to sort of “cache” random notes in it before sorting them out in OneNote. Then I found myself a

It's been the macOS default for a few yeas. Before that, we usually assign Cmd+Space for this (in Windows it was Ctrl+Space for switching language and Shift for toggling between English and Chinese). Then Siri came so the combo stopped

Can only speak for myself but here in China we need Caps Lock to switch between languages which is used very very often.

I bought my 2019 mbp specifically for the keyboard. It’s like a very shallow mechanical keyboard.

I've always wondered if Apple could just make a camera. Or perhaps an attachment via USB-C that has bigger lens and sensors. That'll be Game Over for the Japanese consumer camera industry.

The MacBook Pro isn’t bad or dead. Judging from people’s complaints, it’s more like Apple needs a MacBook Pro Max: bigger, heavier, faster.

Multitasking reminds me of the Windows 8 fiasco. Terrible discoverability, compounded by the fact not all apps can be multitasked by dragging from dock. Very confusing and inconsistent behavior. Personally I haven’t come across any situatio

I’m from the mainland and totally with HK’s cause. But I do think the violence is at least unnecessary if not detrimental to the movement. If tanks roll in, there’s no point using violence as they’ll be crushed. If they don’t, it seems to m

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange offered to buy LSE recently. I wonder if these are connected.

That's bad. But imagine these guys chose similarly priced Android phones instead.

The UK did try to democratize HK governance in the 60s but China immediately threatened military invasion.

They protest not because they don't have money, but because Beijing is essentially taking their money away by eating into their legal system, which is ultimately what makes HK competitive.

I would bet it’s closer to 0.99% otherwise wouldn’t they have phrased it something like “slightly more than 0.1%” to make it sound smaller?

I didn’t even mind the non-retina display on the Air. But ffs give me an IPS panel at least. For years I see it being called the best laptop again and again by tech journalists. I always wondered if I was in a parallel universe.

I’m in the minority but for me the butterfly keyboard is the best of all keyboards. Personally I want to have tactile feedback but also as little pressing effort as possible. The keyboard does both. Somehow my back and arm just don’t tire a

Yeah. Old Casio watches have screens with notches, punches, dual screens, screens in screens... you name it. They’re fine. They actually work well and don’t bother anyone.

That would be basically how The Mareix ended: Neo becoming one with agent Smith thus killing him.

It could be like how the iPod through the last decade lured me into the Apple ecosystem. Initially it was exactly for having good music experience without having to commit to the Mac world. Then I got the iPod touch, iPad, even an iPhone. F

WeChat groups are designed to be private (as opposed to being public, not necessarily to protect privacy). To join one you normally have to know either the admin or a member of the group. A QR code for public access is available but it&#x27

Most people would rather want this because you don’t have to bear the consequences. To simulate the experience, I suggest you start using a censored Bing exclusively while dialing down its search relevancy 30-40% for a start. Make sure you

Google's move has done so much more harm than good overall. I still sympathize with it. But objectively it's bad for everyone except the Party. In China we're drifting into an internet without search engine now. It's pro

It always baffles me when people say companies like Google and Apple can simply “make a stand” on censorship. Make a stand how? Refusing to comply with official decrees and get banned altogether? Seek solidarity from the Chinese people thr
