The problem is that Apple (so far) hasn’t done that: The fact that they’re partnering with a carmaker says that. GM’s market cap is $80bn. Ford sits at $45bn.

In reality, we’ll likely need all the carbon capture we can get, since we’re already crossing atmospheric CO2 concentrations that many have considered to be “red lines.”

The thing about conspiracy theories is they’re not supposed to fit in with all publicly available information (“facts,” to you and me). So when something happens, you just shift the conspiracy. Watkins (or anyone) could go and claim that, just as they say some politicians have been replaced by body doubles, Joe Biden…

It’s like calling yourself a “lunch platform” because you let someone order the menu item as a sandwich *or* a bowl.  

Well, to be fair, calling it a “gimmick failure” would have just made him sound like an idiot, so you can sorta understand why he wouldn’t want to do that.

The question isn’t compensation for use, it’s the lack of a customer-friendly return policy when someone accidentally purchased a product and doesn’t want it.

Slack is really badly positioned for #wfh situations when compared with Teams. You want to do a virtual standup? Teams basically has this built-in with team video calls.

I mean, exactly 0% of Chick-Fil-A’s menu is available on 14.2% of the days of the week, which has to count for something.  

I’ve never had issues with the retention lever on the socket - it isn’t designed to put a death-grip on the CPU pins, but just to make sure that there’s good electrical contact between the CPU pin and the motherboard. I’ve never (and I’ve never heard of anyone) having issues where they inserted the CPU, pulled the…

This just lays bare how the “personal shopping” system will always be exploitative at these prices and this level. Obviously, whatever level of integration Shipt has with (some of) its partners doesn’t include quantities on hand, which makes me think it probably doens’t include weight and size, which makes me wonder…

This needs to be said more often. Besides, the job of a developer is to make something that works, on the hardware it’ll run on.

Name one feature from the past say, 3 versions of Android that you can’t live without (I’m not trolling - I’ve thought about it and I really can’t).

Oh, but I have: Everything from the faux-VR Daydream up through the Valve Index. I’m not arguing that the technology isn’t really cool; it is, but that I don’t think there’s ultimately a successful commercial case to be made. Here’s the math:

This. The default view of Google Maps is for road navigation (including bike trails, pedestrian paths, etc.). Using only a few colors lets a user get what’s going on in an area, at a glance:

This. VR headsets are this decade(-ish)‘s 3D TVs. Few consumers are willing to shell out what’s basically the cost of a new console system (or decent graphics card) for a VR headset (which in many cases requires you’ve already shelled out for the aforementioned hardware) that works on a tiny subset of games.

It’s nuts that 2.76% users are still on IE.  That’s 1 out of every 40 users, which is bonkers when you consider that a majority of traffic these days is mobile.

THIS. I’ve never been sure what it’s for. Clearly not real-time collaboration. Clearly not just a bulletin board-like functionality. For file sharing, it’s way less useful than either a networked drive, cloud storage platform, and workflows frankly much better than an attachment.

TBH this seems a lot more secure than the way that smaller (general aviation) aircraft get updates. For example, a lot of updates for newer Garmin models happen via an iPad app - you download the app from the app store, which in turn downloads the database update, then you take the iPad to your plane, connect them via…

This. Frankly, the range of the movies has been “MST3k worthy” (Star Trek V, I’m looking at you) to “pretty decent” (STIV, First Contact), but frankly none of them stand on their own without the help of the franchise, which is one of the reasons why they’ve never made the stupid amounts of money that the MCU movies…

The real question is “why do you need a Mac now?” If your laptop breaks, yeah, you probably need a new one. But other than that?
