That's not how the human mind works. People still get skewed views on body standards even when they know that what they are looking at is biased and/or photoshopped, for example. W…

On YouTube I reported bot accounts for a couple days, the only reaction I got was that at some point it showed a popup that told me too many false reports would lead to a ban. Not …

Great! So they'll fix the back button bugs on YouTube, and return me to the previous set of video recommendations when I use it on the homepage, right? Right? And let me return to …

Why would anyone with a sound mind envy billionaires?

That you give random people on the internet the power to decide who you vote for is kind of sad. Calling them low intelligence for it even more so.

He doesn't trust it for anything else either as far as I can tell. In an interview he's boasted about how he uses a paper notebook for everything all day.

They probably want to avoid situations where a customer turns off backups, then loses data and makes it the problem of support. But it would be nice to have a "don't ask again" opt…

The Amazon version of this story I heard was support advising to create a new account, and then the person got permabanned for creating multiple accounts which is against TOS.

> I'm still impressed when switching between programs isn't stuttery It is stuttery when you use the magic touchpad via Bluetooth, same applies to the cursor. It's very noticeable …

I live in the EU and have read this in the terms for my region. > they have no legal obligation to follow through and give you what they promised Yes, they do. Contracts are contra…

Some companies like Activision clearly state in their terms that chargeback means you will be permanently banned, no exceptions. You'll lose your account and access to all digital …

Do you seriously expect other companies not following suit? People need lawnmowers, so this can quickly turn into the same situation we have with the inkjet printer market.

MS could literally double their global employee count with a fraction of what they spend on AI annually.

This is for sending a message in case something happens to you and you're not able to send anything yourself anymore for whatever reason. Hence the term "dead man's switch"

I could get used to touch gestures if they were more consistent and tolerant enough for wrong inputs. It may work in one app but not another. One app expects me to swipe from left …

You kind of do need Emacs though, as far as I know it is the only existing fully compatible implementation. As soon as the file is outside that environment, all bets are off. I tri…

Yes, it's obviously "against common usage" given HTML support exists specifically for less common features that Markdown does not support. Like tables, which are supported by some …

This has been a thing long enough for online guides to exist that explain how to get rid of it. Fortunately, because setting the default program in a second place to get rid of a s…

Those examples are very reasonable. However I also had Mac OS suddenly treat all m4a files on the system as potential malware and it blocked any attempt at opening them. Why did it…

> engineers work for the company, not for users Honestly I don't see a big difference between that sentiment and "I was just following orders". That kind of mindset eventually lead…

And if the AI bubble is still going then with datacenter construction going as planned, the RAM shortage will be even more extreme than today despite higher production capacities.

The only two changes that matter to me are: no more iPhone Mini and no more hardware switch to mute the phone. Instead they got a new "thinnest iPhone ever" that's actually thicker…

> he was just going to bomb all their infrastructure That's usually the idea ever since bombs were a thing. It just so happens that it's harder to actually pull off than to say it.…

You could say the same about the Dock in Mac OS.

When a computer doesn't boot you don't need to compare it to another to see that it's broken. Some things are just obvious without comparison.
