You’re missing the distinction between easy and profitable. Going back to the top of the thread, the idea was that this is a decision that looks bad in a moment where everyone’s looking at Facebook. If extending the behaviour worldwide were

There's no specific 'no pedestrian' signage, and there are no nearby marked crossings. If that road were in [for example] the UK, Australia, NZ, or much of Europe, the car wouldn't have had right of way.

Chrome's devtools let you set all animation to run at at 1/4 or 1/10 speed, simplifying that process a bit. https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/insp...

Not exactly what you described, but I'm a big fan of Grafio for iPad as a diagram tool, because 'sketching' is the primary input. You can't import something from paper, but if you've got an iPad around, you can draw

There are a lot of cases regarding Qualcomm's licensing scheme, but the 'fighting qualcomm' came first. In 2015, the Korean FTC launched an antitrust suit against Qualcomm & Apple testified in it. Qualcomm said that Apple

Those that are sufficiently concerned tend to stop being, or avoid becoming smokers, so the unconcerned are what remain. Same goes for prices. I think we can both agree that taxation is the better ‘value’ policy [negative costs are hard t

The Iris approach lowers the device’s battery life, and the screen’s contrast ratio.

Same for 2017. I think a lot of it is down to the usage scenario, but the keyboard is the most obvious ‘flickerer’ I’ve seen... anywhere. A screen like that [or a mandatory keyboard backlight] would be an instant dealbreaker to me.

Apple will only provide service under warranty themselves, and issues caused by third party repairs aren’t under warranty. Same as Dell. If you’re not in warranty, they don’t do anything to force you to go to them. The only difference is th

Neither of those laptops have easily swappable batteries. [the XPSs is easier than MBP & Alienware, but you’re still disassembling things] 7 years later, Dell seems to have captured the same gains. At present, Apple’s main battery life

That resolves that issue, but has its own downsides. There’s a lot of things I like about macOS [eg: better power management], but the main reason I switched was because it was a Unix I could put Photoshop and InDesign onto.
