Are you sure? I can hold stop to stop the current program on my Miele washing machine. The key is to hold, not merely tap stop.

Yeah, seems insane to me. When I find a piece I like I often buy it in multiple colors. Best of both worlds: Same great clothing and still some variation.

As a former smoker: It's not just the nicotine, it's also about the ritual, the habit and the social component. Although the latter might have changed these days as smoking has become a lot less popular since then.

I'm sorry but that comment is very out of touch with how normal, non-tech people use computers. A terminal is a major obstacle for them.

I think it is great. You can buy DRM-free lossless music from countless sources like Bandcamp or Qobuz. And if you don't want to bother with that there's always Spotify & Co., which gives you access to a pretty large catalog

I'm pretty sure that the number of users actually wanting to send an SMS rather than an iMessage to their fellow iOS-equipped friends is very, very small. I can't even think of a fitting use case. It surely doesn't warrant a

Is that really true? I can't believe an employer could forbid discussing salary. That seem's completely illegal to me.

While that would improve things I still think it's rather unlikely that a bike shop would be willing to give anything but a great rating for the bikes the are selling. And if they are their suppliers might not like it. There's sti

Comfort is a pretty subjective thing. Your experience, while valid, is merely a single data point and it would be quite premature to disregard the review or even the whole outlet based on it.
