I can’t agree. My iPhone 6 is about six years old, and the port still works like new.

I’m glad I live in taiwan now. Back in the states my internet sucked, both mobile and home. Now I use my phone as a mobile hotspot and do my work on it. I use about 30 or 40 gigs a month when I’m not at home.

Oh yeh no doubt. Bianca is probably the worst. They out their brand name on every single part of their bikes.

What a reversal... a far cry from the 80s and 90s where owning a non-modified car felt wrong

It’s not just cars, but also bicycles. A lot of manufacturers are painting them black, white, or gray. Bleh.

Thank you. I'll check this out!

Hmm. At first I disagreed with you, but when I think about it over time, I think I'm forced to agree. Their newer MacBooks are going to be ARM based, which, I think, is mostly so that they have more people to develop apps for their pho

I’ve always been interested in this round of thing, but have no idea how or where to get started

Awesome story.

This is a good move, I think. If anything, it'll force employers to give higher pay to immigrants, where they typically offer as low as they could go. It'll also give employers a bit of incentive to hire locally, I think. But, who

They mention International students in the article. I'm not surprised at all that those numbers have dropped, but it probably didn't gain much attention until this year. Every student, or friend of mine, that I've talked to i

What happened to just buying a "normal" TV? No internet needed or anything? Seems dumb. Seeing this link has already made me to decide I actually won't buy a Samsung tv. I'll just get something else. If we truly go the r

What the fuck. You can't even get away from ads after _paying_ for a product.

The company I work for is looking at subsidizing rent as wfh office space. But, this company has been remote first for the past ten years, so their thought process is years ahead of most companies.

When does it become a prerequisite to eradicate meat bags and replace them with cold, calculating droi.... uh, code?

Wait, are you saying we left the 2008 recession already?

Good. I’m so tired of ads.

Haha, the “CAC” as we liked to call it. It is a pretty secure system I think, but government procedures make it a pain to work with.

I'm not gonna lie, I first read this as "Free from wild potato". Good to see wild polio is going down.

I’m not surprised, but I suggest the Kobo e-reader to the OP. Can use multiple formats, easy to upload books to it, and some models have expandable memory. You can completely disconnect it from the internet if you want.

I’m not sure if I’m 100% sold on this. The service sounds like ( in their own terms ) “Big WEB” but the in a server that is... “owned”? By the user renting that server. Honestly it just sounds like every other server farm out there. Rent a

I’d argue the opposite. I’m China they can just kidnap you. In America, at least there are rules.

Title is slightly misleading because Google Play also removes them from the Play store. The title is there to generate instant emotions strictly against Apple for some reason.

I think it depends on who you approach. The place I went to in Chengdu was actually owned by a foreigner. You would get measured. Then he sourced fabric from Hong Kong, had the pieces made there, then made second and third fittings in perso
