I don’t understand how anyone can push that “solution” with a straight face. Surely they have worked out the numbers and figured out it’s not realistic at all, right,…,right ?

So basically what you say is agreeing with his observations ?! If you cold forge there are some benefits (but the question would be what can actually be reliably be cold forged and be a useful object in our precise world ?). If you hot forg

That’s the problem of capitalism : you need it but too much of it becomes a disease for the society abusing it… Much of the western world is starting to feel the effects…

I very much agree with you and also would really like some clear evidence of that. My opinion was formed from another area that is related : the pretense that “forged” knife are stronger, and hold their edges better, etc. I have seen some m

That's my experience as well. In my opinion, "social" board games are always an excuse for the people who propose it to "dominate" others in an activity they don't do as often and don't care about much. Th

This is also my experience. Worse, it is snappier on a 10 yo computer (top of the line though) than on an expensive 24GB M2 MacBook Pro. There is some software that I find nice and convenient in macOS but it has gotten really hard to justif

You are switching the goalpost. Not only are there some "security" features that you can't disable and are of dubious actual usefulness like the system partition but they make it much harder to actually hack around the system

You are getting downvoted by the fanboys but this is exactly my experience too. There is a type of macOS users that are experts (in technology in general) but those are by far the minority (and it is shrinking). For the most part the macOS

With all the ideological hate against Microsoft/Windows (even among its long-term users it seems) everybody seems to miss the part where Windows 11 is actually pretty good and I would say in some ways actually superior to macOS nowaday

As a French I agree. In France it is also on a downward trend but there are some differences that makes it a better outlook in my opinion: - per capita consumption seems to be going back up, thanks to some political work on the energy pric

The fact that you don't seem to realize that downloading 10GB of stuff just to edit/generate PDF documents is completely bonkers just shows how out of touch Latex afficionados are. As far as I'm concerned, the outputs are pre

I agree but I also think that individuals can benefit from this new offering. They don't have to get a Google/Microsoft account for basic office needs. But I do agree that there are probably some better things to be done, I don&#x

Considering that it is run by a duplicitous Uncle Scrooge it is exactly what is going to happen. If the App Store golden goose get taken over (by DMA and similar legislation) they will lose a significant share of their revenue growth and it

Yeah, but the only reason devs are not using those "private" APIs is because Apple owns the only distribution possibility. For now, the 3rd party stores are a joke because Apple still has too much control (and the fees are a joke)

Because they usually are in a tech bubble where Apple is the best there is on everything and they never really tried any alternatives. So, they think it's good and it's a delusion because it would not be objectively considered goo

The funniest thing about current Apple is that they don't just upsell you on more hardware (that would be relatively fine) but they also hardcore upsell you on their "services" that are too often lackluster and fucked up in s

Yeah, the thing about "security" is that there is a lot more chance that it will come to bite you in the ass later down the road than being successful (actually prevent an issue). I have some funny stories about unrecoverable driv

But they don't bullshit about it as much and their offerings are much cheaper and it's easier to not have to pay as much (either with data or money). There is just a general hypocrisy about Apple that is hilarious.

Considering the demographics I find it hilarious that you believe that current perceived discrimination is the result of a majority. Because if there is one thing that's for sure, it's that the white person is a race in extinction

It's not discrimination when it's based on objective reality. But I guess you are one of those who will call discrimination when someone doesn't make the cut because they weren't good enough, whether it is in sport perfo

Does it matter for 90% of business? I will say no, the vast majority of business is rather localized for very good reasons (as a starter, language/culture/legalese) so it is an unnecessary "feature" most of the time. The

If what you say was even remotely true, wages would increase automatically because there would be superior demand to offer. Yet this does not happen. In the end business output is constrained by demand and unlimited growth is a big fat lie.
