Can I just say I'm so envious of all of you who are able to write publicly without worries? I did try to start a blog many, many years ago, but I can never get over my fears that whatever I put out publicly will inevitably be used agai

The MTR was designed 100 years after the first subsurface lines in London; you'd expect them to have avoided at least some of the mistakes. Also, they don't have to worry about funding by holding a property development monopoly ar

Hong Kong has its fair share of signal failures; check out the @mtrupdate Twitter. Also, they are trying to install a new signalling system, and during testing two trains collided: https://www.railjournal.com/signalling&#x2F

You can't simplify a double negative like that, when there's more than 1 bit of information. "They are [not] noticeably worse than others" can mean any one of the following: - They are worse, but not noticeable - They ar

I have the S9 too. What was unexpected was that it still received monthly updates for 3 years and then down to quarterly updates after that. (Samsung did not promise anything and the usual practice was updates for 2 years *at the time when

I'm mainly taking issue with the original claim of "No Android phone maker can even make this guarantee for more than 2 years." I don't really care what Apple does because I'm not in the market for iOS phones. With

Do you have proof? My Note 20 Ultra (released in 2020) received 3 updates in the past 35 days -- and this is for a region that's trailing Europe and the US in terms of updates. https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-N9860&#x2

Not sure what you're expecting here. Do you want their installer to, depending on where it's installing Zoom, be able to 1) directly modify files inside the app bundle, or 2) install an entirely different app bundle?
