ahh the notch sensitive cohort.. i never understood the massive focus on removing the notch on smartphones.. it's of trivial significance to millions of ppl I would assume

This laptop has a 4:3 display!?

Hmm so their schema contains both camelCase and snake_case ? ewww

Apple's service network, via physical stores can not be beat!

I had an issue with my Samsung smart phone at one point. However, I couldn't part with the phone for x number of weeks, to send it in, for an assessment.

After that, I realized ease of support on iPhone was the biggest differentiator between Apple and other brands

what does your point got to do with my argument - How the cited example of rasp-pi is not a strong argument for usefulness of ads

windows blows.. I only use it for gaming.

rasppi is a niche product. There will never be mass consumer appeal. Just like how you don't see advertisement for Ergodox keyboards. Even if they spent money on ad campaign, it will likely not move the revenue needle

it's like they just don't care.

Why can't you have image inline with text? I hate to waste energy to refer to attached images in my text ("regarding the 2nd image")

It sucks in that you can't edit the image attached to a message. Only text..

WTH? Why not?

what a sigh of relieve.

It's a really refreshing feeling to know, that channel of communication is not available for anyone in my company.

it's like a veil has been lifted off my eyes

That is true on macos. I'm being prompted for any consequential actions.

In Windows 10 + 11, that prompt does not exist, if you are signed in with the admin account.

windows 10 + 11 is such a mess.

It's just a pretty skin on top of the same Windows NT Window chrome. The modern UI skin is baked in with a bunch of none-sensical UX decisions.

I also hate how Windows' happy-path setup, does not encourage use to create and operate with a low privileged local account. Instead, if you click through the setup process, you end up running the OS w/ an admin level account.

It was never meant for image compression.

It was image compression. You "reduce" the file size of the images by using an algorithmic approach to reduce the color palette, while achieving as much as the OG image quality as possible.

It's 2021. Who is still using dithering? How did this article even make it to HN?

I recall dithering being heavily used in the days of very finite color palettes - BMP, GIF16 etc..

a 2 min video of him against a white backdrop acclaiming the chamfered edges?

jony ive - good riddance. What a terrible era of crappy form over function.

You assert removing those "luxury" items results in a car that is immune to chip supply issues.

how about a search engine that bans all pinterest content.

I hate pinterest with a passion. I may need to get a "his" laptop separate from my wife, since she needs that darn pinterest extension for pinning photos.

_____ requires a browser, so it's less resilient than a solution without a browser dependency.

what's the rate of a given illusion working consistently across general population? Probably not high enough to make that approach work.

lol these weak people. Just stick to your business driven decisions.

What are people complaining about?

A cost of living (COL) variable in your compensation keeps things rational.

Plus people are missing the fact that the original compensation of X was established in the context of some geographical region. So people complain if their COL adjustment decreases their pay but all good if COL increases their pay?

You gotta have it working in both ways.

Do people still regard CSS transform as a solid strategy to invoke GPU powered UI updates?

Perhaps business value the tax benefits of to moving computer hardware costs from capex to opex.

Buwhahah $150.

dude, they didn't negotiate on starring in the movie, shoot the movie, post production it, and then released it all within the pandemic window.

I can't deal with this article.. every paragraph contains a reference to the product these folks are trying to sell..

The list of sponsors' logos at the bottom fo the page. I don't recognize any of them.

that's fine with me.. the imperial valley is a man made cluster f anyways.. It's a naturally desert environment with very little redeemable qualities, other than mineral extraction.

Are these people highly compensated?
