Yes! Somebody had to say it! We thrive on novelty, especially people drawn to tech. With the pace of change in the early years of modern tech, making things constantly change appearance was natural and unavoidable, so we've come to exp

Thanks for the Wikipedia links. I have a degree that included a great amount of study of (socio-)linguistics and am well acquainted with the distinction. Describing something in such a way that it furthers an agenda is not objective, nor is

Until some bright spark had the idea to make Thunderbolt 3 share a connector with USB-C. And then Apple (inter alia) released laptops that were either USB-C+Thunderbolt 3 -or- purely USB-C (12" MacBook), making life complicated for fol

I recently had a boss tell me that the two hours I used to spend standing on a packed train being coughed on by other commuters was "your time." I must conclude that the parent poster either has a similar worldview to that boss, o

So the antidote to wanting to do interesting things and change the world is to give up on your ambition, procreate, and raise a new generation of people to go through the same cycle of ambition, despair, and duty? That sounds like an incred

'I like to use' is not the same as 'mandatory.' You can call a taxi, you can beg a lift, you can hitchhike, you can walk, you can drive. The Netherlands has a supermarket (Marqt) which does not accept cash. Thankfully, t

One person's upcycling is another person's destroying an irreplaceable piece of our computing history. This is only slightly more respectful than the people who chop up micros to make "cyberdecks."
