I listened to this kind of preaching and got myself a Lenovo ThinkCentre with Ryzen 5. What everyone forgets to mention is that these are loud. Fans are small and they spin fast. And fanless used mini pc market is kind of dry.
On what is based your claim that it is impossible to foster brand loyalty on Android side? Maybe there is a reason that there is no brand loyalty on Android side, a reason that maybe those brands created themselves after seeking instant profits above anything else. Not one android phone manufacturer tried to cultivate long term relations with their customers for any reasonable amount of time. A lot of customers tried variety of android phones exactly for that reason, to find a brand that would not let you down and yet very quicly all promises were broken.
Thanks, this didn't even occur to me.
I'm not sure what do you mean by saying "no phone support"? Fastmail has apps for Android and iOS. I use iOS one and it's quite alright.
Did I not understand you statement correctly? Like did you mean that you cannot set it up with other mail apps on the phone?
Well that is simply not true. It will work, you'll have lower resolution and detailed map, but sim will certainly work.
-edit: should have refreshed before commenting :)
Disclaimer: I'm from Lithuania, little eastern Europe country.
There has been a lot of talk about eastern Europe being a junkyard for german cars (or old european cars in general) in recents times, not the least locally, especially by politicians trying to justify weird decisions. Most of the time one vital factor remains overlooked, people don't have money for anything else here. German cars are valued by most the people, whether that is deserved or not is a different question. There are plenty of mechanic shops for repairing those cars and cars itself are cheap. Public transport is mostly horrible, so a car is a must for most people. If a family has a budget of ~€1500 per month, how can you realistically choose anything else but an old imported car from western Europe (majority from germany).
While I bet they work brilliantly for the driver of the car, for the oncoming traffic it's really annoying. It leaves light spots in my eyes every time I drive in the night and encounter cars with such headlights, as it doesn't deactivate those 'pixels' quick enough for me not to notice. Overall it might be an improvement, but it depends on your situation.
As for extra light at road signs, I believe I've read somewhere that newish signs have ability to reflect near ultraviolet as visible light, and this makes them extra reflective for headlights with ultraviolet range, more so then what you would expect for the given visible light that you see. Although I'm no expert in this and not sure if that actually the reason for why some signs popout so much.
Likely an issue with start menu search. I had it a year or two ago, when I first installed Win 10, start menu search couldn't find anything. I can't remember details since it was a while ago, but I just searched the web to find the culprit.
Now since I have fixed the issue, I can search any application installed and get it in moments. Try and see if maybe you also have an issue with search itself.

What I fail to understand so far is the pricing of the news. Do newspapers really earn tens of dollars/pounds/euros per month per user? I want to pay for the news, but any website I like charges a 2 digit numbers per month, and that is when you subscribe for a year. The way I see it, I should be able to pay them for ads I wont see, maybe some collateral, but current pricing in my mind doesn't reflect reality. What am I missing in this picture? Please help me understand.
ChessNetwork is my choice. Streams on twitch with analysis video on youtube.
Definitely not just US. I'm from Lithuania and these were the pencils we all used [0]. That was around 1992 and later, so could have been a relic from Soviets.
Only in later years green ones appeared and yellow with black stripes.

Javascript OFF and zdnet link works just fine.
But one Thursday I don't pre-order, and I'm actively doing other stuff, maybe outside, phone slippery, need to check something and damn it... clicked on that suggestion, now have to wait to get to what I actually intended.
Just my experience with android.
~20sec music play and then followed pause. Just not sure what to say about that. Even the guy narrating gets confused and almost clicks for the second time to start the music. Then followed menu selection, not as slow, but still noticeable slowness in response. Later one when he clicks other buttons action follow much more rapidly, which indicates to me a weak processor.
I know this is not what you trying to point to in your comment, but I just watched that video and I'm really surprised at how bad the system is.
Yes it looks completely different, but delay between user action and response is horrific, sometimes over a second and sometimes doesn't even do anything. It's like those cheap Chinese after market systems, that runs poor hardware and just barely works. And all of this in a new 2017 car, imagine this after 5 or 10 years, will be totally useless... Hopefully Volvo will do a better job with usability of the system.
One has to remember that cars that were designed to be without power steering usually has 5 turns of the wheel from one side to the other, while cars with power steering only has 3, again usually. So a car that was designed to have power steering and looses it, is not really comparable to cars designed to be without one, and is a real pain to drive, especially in the city.
Couldn't disagree more, but I guess there will be that division between people. Cars are not the phones and at least until I'm driving my car myself, I will always prefer buttons or other tactile UI instead of touchscreen. And voice control, well if you are non English speaker, good luck with that :)
There are plenty of cars with speedometer positioned in the middle (particularly from french automakers), some people don't mind that.
I personally never even look at the car with speedometer in the middle, just cannot stand the looks of it. Maybe by the time I will be able to afford Model 3 I'll grow not to mind their interior looks, but at this moment it's the most horrible looking interior I have seen. Seems more like something what hobbyist would do rather then automaker. Sad really.
I grew up in the village where we used to grow our own tomatoes and it's simply not true that bigger ones taste differently. An average tomato (6-10cm in diameter), usually tastes just the same as a much smaller one growing on the same plant. Actually I didn't notice any difference in taste based on size. For a cucumbers that was definitely the case, once it passed certain size, cucumber use to become much less tastier, but tomatoes all tasted the same, delicious. And as with current tomatoes in the store, in rare instances you can be lucky and find a batch of great tomatoes that taste quite good, and they are all of decent size.
So what I'm saying is that at least my practical experience never even gave me a hint that bigger tomatoes would taste worse than smaller ones. And I was very surprised the first time I heard this hypothesis.
Pinned tabs definitely should be excluded from throttling. Pinning tab for me usually means that I want to keep track of something, which usually is my email, chat client, etc. I don't want to be notified about new email on my phone before I get that notification on PC, which is already happening too often. That's just unnecessary hassle.
Though I'm not sure how popular this feature is and I would vote for other ways to turn throttling off, especially for those which prompt user about it.
is there a way to see the list without logging in to spotify? Non-vocal electronic seems like my cup of tea for when I'm working.
Some cars already have that, at least my 2008 Peugeot 607 has. While driving, push the button to select max speed and you're done. Controlling same way as cruise control. Although it leaves an option to go faster if you push the accelerator down to the floor.
Wouldn't work for controlling child, but on a freeway would work just as you expect.
I think the fact that he was not notified about this suspicious activity on linked account renders all this as Apple wrong doing. Doesn't matter whether Dash dev actually gave his phone to someone or actually was doing something fishy by himself, failing to notify account before closing it just doesn't seem fair to me.
You're not anomalous. I'm not usually using DDG, but checked it out on chrome 51 64-bit on Win10, compared with google and there is definitely noticeable lag on DDG in many areas, though NOT to the extent of making page unusable.
Indeed, I have recently got a fully fiber optic connection up to a flat and it is symmetric 300/300Mbps download/upload. As I was looking the plans, there wasn't even an option to go with non-symmetric connection.

I guess the link provided doesn't represent the page in the best possible way, http://forvo.com/ meets you with big input in the middle of the page, although they don't focus it automatically.
Not sure how it works for not UK users, but if you accessing BBC from UK, main menu at the top has `IPLAYER` button [0]. Any program I choose from there will use HTML5. Anywhere else, that includes news videos and live TV, HTML5 is not an option.
I believe that if you want the protection of patent, you should disclose everything and it not suppose to be a secret. If you want to keep it as a secret, don't patent it. Isn't that is the reason behind the patent system? Inspire people to create things by providing certainty that no one will be allowed to reproduce their creations until patent expires. The only reasonable thing after that is to make the patented technology (including all the bits and pieces) a public knowledge.
