Same here! I expect mine has around 5,000-6,000+ hours of use, and it is still going strong. It was given to me by a former employer (dem dotcom days!) , but I believe the original cost of about $900 has ammortized out to 45$ a year at this point.

Add a classy looking rope with a fancy knot and sell it on eBay as a lightly used Porsche boat anchor.

Stahp. As a sysadmin and IT manager, I’m triggered.

Those are generally easier to find than the cornucopia of ever expanding USB flaws.

I remember my call center days working the Windows 95 support lines and walking customers through a floppy disk install from start to finish. A competent person could have it done in no time, but the people who called for install help were either competent and had a legit hardware or compatibility issue (rampant at…

Right? Peeling beets never occurred to me. What’s the benefit to peeling them after roasting?  (or before roasting, for that matter)

They won’t die with millions in the bank anymore. They may die with tens of thousands in the bank - because healthcare. And they might spend their final years in a *nice* care home which is incredibly underrated. I’ve visited relatives in nice care homes and not-so-nice care homes. I plan on being in a nice one.

Parent here: Leather cleans up much easier than fabric, but if you’ve got little lollypop sucking turdbeasts in the car, good seat covers are the one true way.

Meh. If you work on a lot with a strong used field, you’ll still be selling the same dozen Journey’s for the next five years via the bad credit/repo cycle.

Pot, meet Kettle.

I saw that, but it is in the context of Apple killing stuff in their products.  Intel has had a good run of about 12 years in mac products, and now that run is over.

What is this “fancy stuff” that people do on laptops that they don’t do on macbooks, now or ever?

Your use case is definitely not everyone’s use case. This would be extremely nice for my wife who runs long distance. Carrying a car key (*especially* a fob) is extra stuff she doesn’t want to worry about on a twenty mile run. Currently, the fob goes into a plastic baggy and is tucked into her hydration belt. Only…

Where did you get that in the article? The context for “killing” this stuff is in the context of Apple products. Nobody asserted Apple was killing Intel the corporation.

If there’s no way to whitelist an appplication’s permissions it seems like it may be up to the developers to fling a notification of “permissions about to expire, click to keep them”.

And then...

I also have these, and they have fairly great sound for the cost and the ANC is okay, however, I cannot wear them for longer than an hour before my ears are too squished to be comfortable. They are now paired and dedicated to our Fire TV cube, and are great for watching an episode of something while my wife is on the…

People can choose not to support bigotry, similar to how team jeebus gets to pretend they are boycotting Starbucks due to red cups.

Can you do us all a favor and stop shilling these?  They make good coffee BUT it is a Nestle product that produces ridiculous amounts of waste.

I’d love to see a black or latina/x woman offered the spot. I have enough subreddits collected (1,834) that my frontpage is mostly insulated from the garbage, but someone needs to clean house and and needs to do it with a different perspective.
