If they are, it's still incredibly terrible. An enormous list of common glitches could be written about it, that just never get patched For one, it tends to split group convos into…

Here's to hoping they were actually able to use the battery they intended to this time around, and that the battery life isn't garbage: https://www.theverge.com/2016/12/20/14024322…

I really wanna see some benchmarks/real world tests of this new version. it's starting to look like the semi-serious tiny machine i wanted it to be all along.

which then need 2-500 chassis, or overpriced RAID arrays to do anything useful with...

I still can't believe this doesn't have 3g. The basic phone i had 11 or so years ago did. And yes, it was just a flip phone

Another obnoxious one: Employee purchased devices will be denied warranty if you aren't that employee. I'm assuming this is to prevent people from "trading" devices or something. I…

Honestly this is the number one reason i quit using my SP. I know a lot of people here love them, but it was just too obnoxious to use on my legs, soft surfaces, and lots of other …

This design actually continued for quite a while. The last model came out around 2010: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Vaio_P_series Unfortunately, it's saddled with probably th…

They removed these settings. That's exactly the point at which i just started losing interest. I still have a huge pile of stuff i meant to list years ago that i just don't have th…

I kept mine going for as long as i could until it was just blatantly too underpowered. I upgraded to the 15in retina(magsafe style, not the new one) and i'm still grumpy about the …

Seriously, i wish everyone would stop screaming about USB-C and just mourn this. Both would be fine, but removing magnetic charging was a regression

This will be cracked within days, honestly

Another thing worth noting is that they still support basically every piece of hardware they ever did. Think built in apps on old smart TVs or early blu-ray decks that haven't been…

I have such a passionate hate for S4B. This also happens to me, and the logging options mentioned below being enabled don't make a reliable difference: the logs don't always save! …

Are there even any other "pixel alternatives" out there now that that's dead? By which i mean 3:2 or 4:3 display rather than 16:9/10, relatively small, not a tablet, etc. I'm not r…

I hear this point all the time, but it's starting to feel like it's just the cool thing to say. Can you quantify this? What do you feel has gotten worse besides "grr some stuff loo…

For what it's worth, this is the exact reason i stopped using my surface pro 2(and tried and didn't buy a SP3/4). I've had more than one surface, and quit using them every time bec…

Don't let your dreams be dreams: https://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/how-to-install-pixel-qis... (A friend of mine is about to order this, i've seen it, it's as awesome as you'd im…

I don't understand how this wasn't the bigger news. Touch bar, meh, most people don't care either way. Price increase? it's apple. Everyone i've talked to who got one laments the l…

Every MVNO has QOS working against them and caveats, like throttled speeds, no roaming, and basically always soft-caps. Most of the postpaid official carrier plans have soft caps t…

i would settle for a barebones machine with the basic CPU, onboard graphics, and like 4-8gb of ram but the ability to add in whatever cpu(s) and GPU i wanted, under $2000. Preferab…

Easy: One vendor, one support contract/warranty. There's one number to call, and they'll repair any part of the machine up to and including swapping out the whole thing. Anyone buy…

CPUs as well

Nah. We have those at my work, and we also have an iMac with a magic trackpad, and several of us have macbook pros. It's a huge improvement, but it's maybe 75% of the way there. An…

Same experience here. Amusingly, 5ghz works halfway down the block outside the building but dies in my bedroom. It's an older building, and the walls are built like bunkers. 2.4ghz…
