8% interest rates don’t seem to be a problem for financing all the data centers and AI hardware. Amazon can afford to power their data centers with clean energy. It’s not called “C…

A better question is why a company is allowed to effectively lie using fraudulent false advertising in its marketing and brand image about being environmentally conscious and becom…

What is more positive about it is just that there’s no interest or money factor. I do think it is ultimately an effort to shorten upgrade cycles. Lower the monthly payment enough a…

I think you’re purposefully misinterpreting the meaning of the quote to be a contrarian or to hate on Apple. I’m not a big fan of big corporate duopoly Apple, either, but I’m also …

You just chopped off the other part of the sentence to change the meaning. > “Qualifications were that they could breathe, they could think,” he said. “They could think” implies cr…

The founder of the institute that owns this publication is a billionaire who is very opinionated on the subjects that this article touches upon. He’s an advocate for universal basi…

The funding source is incredibly important when it is relevant to the content of the article. This is why reputable journalistic outlets disclose financial ties to entities they re…

This isn't really a bad thing. That's exactly what you want from an app reviewer. You want someone who has critical thinking skills but is looking at the app from the perspective o…

Everyone in tech isn’t sad, the people who are vocal about being sad are sad. This is a universal concept across the Internet. If you’re on your phone all day doom scrolling you’ll…

I have trouble believing it’s a uniquely difficult situation when no other tech company of the same or larger scale has those same problems. Is there a single Google service that h…

> I wouldn't mind transferring busses if there was good service. Literally what I'm advocating for is good service.
