   Your behavior is too small a sample size to have any bearing on the behavior of 20 year olds on average. It's entirely possible that you're a much better person than Mark Zuckerberg. That doesn't make him a bad person. I also

   Or in this case, he was a 20 year old kid running a website with his college friends and roommates.

   When a 20 year old calls people dumb fucks in a private conversation, it generally means that they are a normal 20 year old. Saying that Zuckerberg is a sleazebag based on a snippet of a private conversation he had 15 years ago when he was

   It surprises me how many people assume that Zuckerberg is evil. I've never seen any convincing evidence of him being anything other than a relatively regular guy in an extremely unique circumstance. What makes you so sure he's a s

   Like most things, video games are a hobby for some and a vice for others. It has more to do with the person than the activity. Also, a four year old is probably too young to be drinking beer but I don't think beer with a low ABV (0.5-2

   The phone that I was referencing with my comment is my Pixel 2 (and the Pixel I had before it) which gets OS updates faster than any other Android phone. Possibly not quite as fast as LineageOS gets them, but I imagine they are pretty neck

   I mean, compared to the non-pro iPad line, the iPad pro has a larger screen for better multitasking, more RAM, faster processor, pencil support, and keyboard case support. I see no problem with calling it an iPad Pro, even if you're no

   Apple has made huge improvements to the iPhone since the 4S. LTE, 802.11ac, much better cameras, the lightning port, bigger screens, faster processors, six times the RAM, four times the storage space, multitasking in iOS, 3D touch, multiple

   You seem quite happy with your Nexus 5, but most people don't want to root their phone and install another OS on it. I'm happy to trade some control over my phone for assurances that it will have an up-to-date OS that gets securit

    I think a lot of people thought that the larger screens available in each generation after the 5S were a must-have hardware feature. The camera has improved a lot since then, too. The 5S didn't have 802.11ac. The 6S was the first iPhon

    As someone who graduated in the summer of 2016 without having done any internships, I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Finding a job was much more difficult than I thought it would be. Part of that is because I was looking in a ver

    That's true. You can supposedly run a program assembled or compiled in the 60's on a z14 that you buy today. Seeing as most of IBM's largest customers are banks and other places that have no interest in rewriting battle teste

    I also recently got an iPad Pro 10.5", and I think that the Pro 10.5" in particular will last longer than most iPads. The only three iOS devices with 4GB of RAM are the iPad Pro 12.3 first gen, iPad Pro 12.3 second gen, and iPad P

    The iPad Pro 10.5" is more or less the "tock" version of the original iPad Pro 9.7", so the OP should be good for a while.

    I agree that we should be concerned about DRM. I think that the ship has already sailed on that, though. Most people that I know use a streaming service for their music. Spotify, Apple Music, or Google Play Music mostly. They already don&#x

    One reason is that you can get a higher quality DAC/headphone amp if you use USB C. Something like this ( https://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-DragonFly-Black-Headphone-... ) is needed to drive high end headphones and might

    I'm not sure what you're asking why too - I will go ahead and assume you're asking why analog ports make sense for professional audio. The answer to that is partially because there is a huge culture of analog being superior t

    I mean, wireless headphone by definition lack a wire which is a huge improvement to many people. Just because the improvement doesn't favor audio fidelity doesn't mean it isn't an improvement. People have been buying external

    An external DAC can be of the same quality as the internal one, worse, or better. According to this site, http://www.kenrockwell.com/apple/lightning-adapter-audio-qua... , Apple's dongle is roughly the same as the

    While I do love the 3.5mm jack (along with the 1/4", XLR, and pretty much any other analog audio connector known to man) it seems like it's redundant on modern smartphones and in the near future possibly laptops. If everythin

    The only issue I see is that iPhones aren't using USB C, at least not yet. If you go out and buy a new android smartphone and a new laptop right now, there's a pretty high chance that they will both have USB C. You can then use a

    You've probably heard this from other people, but I recently switched from a Pixel to a Pixel 2 and was worried about losing the headphone jack as well. Surprisingly, it hasn't bothered me at all. The battery life is long enough (

    There's also the possibility that they just don't get disrupted. The entire computer industry is less than 100 years old. Who knows if the next 100 years will be anything like the last 70. Of course, there might be a long history

    Google does offer a paid email service through their G Suite product. It's generally aimed at businesses but the cheaper options are $5 and $10 a month which is comparable to Fastmail.

    I agree that a traditional desktop or laptop computer is a more productive text processing machine than an iPad, partially due to the physical keyboard and partially due to limitations in iOS. For other productive tasks like music creation
