If your sole criterion is "file in original directory on hard drive still functioning after X years" then I doubt we're going to go back much further than the late 2000s

All these people saying "just don't have a phone in your bedroom" evidently don't work in the datacenter sphere, because if one of my sites has a problem and my boss can't reach me, I might as well be fired

While Bluetooth may eventually drop backward compatibility, my daily driver headphones are four c.2007 Dell BH200 A2DP sets. Highly adequate. All are on their second battery, a commodity 500mAh LiPo from eBay. To hell with this overpriced A

They have a plan, but it's a less evil plan than other mfrs. My Pixel 2 XL, which is FINE, is now out of software support. I bought it in August 2018, when it was the latest Pixel. Meanwhile my wife's 6S, from Sept 2015, is still

My shitty Surface happily charges by its USB-C or proprietary port. It also has a USB-A port, which is mighty handy for plugging in Plantronics dongles. I'll be glad to have the same possibilities on a MacBook.

There's mini and micro HDMI, but then you've gained nothing over USB-C.

My cousin burned a hole in his stomach with Ibuprofen trying to quash some pain that turned out to be metastatic esophageal cancer. (Somehow, he's still alive.) Mind your NSAIDs!

Gosh, I hope the SSH performance is not representative of what the final products from VMware and Parallels will be. I've got about 750msec lag per keypress-- it's rather painful!

And rightly so, since it's a proper noun.

I have a Surface Pro 7 from work and honestly it's not even half a MacBook. The OS is particularly poor, as is the battery life. The Mac is a better frontend for Windows sessions through Citrix than a literal Windows device is-- gestur

Turn off usage and diagnostics and try to save a location in Google Maps. Alternatively, open up the usage and diagnostics stats and see just how much they harvest. It's, frankly, a ridiculous non-sequitur on the part of Google.

Can we please stop pretending that Sun- and SGI-developed 100% in-house architecture/board/graphics/OS was never a thing? Apple's merely returned to tradition here by releasing a proprietary RISC workstation.

Did...did they just invent statically-linked app tarballs? How about we sandbox every app inside its own Docker container, just to be sure?
