Only reason I didn't buy another Huawei device when I lost my phone is that there was a special on Xiaomi phones instead. Looks like I dodged a bullet, for now at least.

I really don't get all the conspiracy theories being thrown around about Microsoft now having to send over some suits to rescue the situation. Doesn't really jibe with the moves they have been making lately that seem to show that

Thanks for the link. This is a topic I've always loved mainly because it seems so plainly obvious to me that there is a link between either accidental or unwitting consumption of psychotropic substances and the birth of religion(s) spe

It's never made clear exactly which piece of AWS that Azure is growing faster than. I think Office 365 is counted as part of Azure and it's extremely popular, but that wouldn't make it an apples to apples comparison wrt AWS.

Teeth are annoying. Mine are ok, but as I get older I start to notice their deterioration. I've always felt that if there was a part of our anatomy that we should think of replacing completely with an artificial design, it's teeth

Ehh, just a minor spat in the end. At the end of the day, almost literally everyone at Spotify fawns over Apple and Apple gear. And that's a problem. If these companies are now finding out to their detriment just how precarious their e

I have a 1 year old. Maybe I'll revisit this article when I can leave the kid to his own devices for 8 hours a day. Good article all the same.

This is definitely the quickest and most effective method if making money is your only goal. But once you reach a certain salary ceiling you might find that you're stuck at a company that you don't really like other than their pay

So I just took a look at their offering and was shocked to see just how many services they offer. Way more than I had anticipated for a provider I don't really hear too much about.

Well, I tested it by creating a little sample android app that fetched a collection of images for display in a grid. For some reason I found this very simple scenario quite a hassle using a native GraphQL client for Android. And the alterna

I think what's ironic is everyone claiming Microsoft was going to ruin the web back in the day and ended up supporting the very parties that actually did end up ruining the web.

It's a cultural thing. When I was very young growing up in Zambia, we used to eat those flying termites that appear everywhere after the rains, as well as a certain type of caterpillar. And I remember them being delicious. Then we flew

Yes, currently the X1 Carbon. It's nice and light yet very sturdy. Comfortable keyboard (but that may be because I'm used to these keyboards after so many years of use, I know other people hate the key placements) Also, I'm n

I've been a Lenovo diehard for a while now, but the XPS continues to call out to me. Beautiful device in person, I may just switch when the time comes.

Ballmer consistently grew profits and revenues during his tenure so what was brutal on Microsoft was the tech press and the stock market.

Is this really true though? Has Tim Cook ever criticized the Chinese government or does he only ever speak on these issues when it comes to the US?

Actually makes me respect Samsung a bit more for sticking to their guns and continuing to poke fun at the notch, rightly or wrongly. Yes, they've done their fair share of copying from Apple, but lately they seem to actually believe in

Perhaps, but I have a strong suspicion that if this had been a Google or a Microsoft the response by the author would have been very different.
