It's too cheap to be a barrier for those people. I still see that type of people here, because they pay 2.5 euros for one month and they have a chance to stay for free in many plac…

I hate Apple and since 2010 I started using a macbook and I haven't looked back. I still hate Apple, but I'm far more frustrated with the fact that I don't feel I have a good alter…

On top of that, Sweeden is recording very high death rates and latest estimates point to around 7% in immunity.

Whats the size of the current userbase and how many off your users are active?

This might be a silly question, but I'll take the chance to ask it anyway. What constitutes personal data? More precisely, using FB as example, does it apply to things like: 1. whe…

More than anything, I find interesting the impact this probably did have on the failure of democracy in Portugal back then.

Portugal imported tea from India way before Macau. That was the whole thing of the sea route to India...

This is what I find to be the problem. I can get used to typing on it and it's even weird to go back to normal keyboards now. However, keys keep getting stuck due to dust and that …

That's cool. Can you tell me how much time you spend on it per week in average? Just so I get a general idea...

Thanks. I'll look that up. However, how much time does that takes you (weekly)?

The company where I work has allowed me to pick up training up to 2h a week on a subject I like. I would like to pick up AI, probably more the ML part and I'm wondering what would …

My bad. I got mixed up with kilos and pounds. Thought 3 pounds was 1.8kg. 4 pounds. I stand corrected. The thing is. I'm really not an apple fan boy. I've only had one mac. I've ha…

Except for those who were frustrated with the limitations of the Air (no retina, weak processors, etc.). Still, I agree about the 15". It does risk being in no man's land. I have a…

I will be suspicious of any opinion in a website with the word mac or apple in it's url. First, the mbp is 3 pounds (from your own link). Second, I looked up the xps 15 also. Not o…

So if it's thin enough for you, it's thin enough for everyone?! Really? People fail to understand that there are pro users with different needs...

For me this is a big part of the problem. Most "pros' that complain of lack of more power also are ok with shorter battery life because they work mostly plugged. Apparently, for th…

Sure. I'm not in position to say whether the claim that the RAM increase would require more than 26W. I'm just arguing that the previous comment was missing the point of what the a…

Do you realistically think it won't sell? Between fanboys and those for which the portability (and usability of macos) beats the absolute top performance you could get...it will st…

Please understand that there are very different types of 'pros'. Some "pros" need to be on the road continuously and portability is a huge advantage for which the performance hit i…

1. I believe you got the first point wrong. The claim is that they needed more than 100W to go to 32GB, and not going for 16GB, they didn't need the extra 26W. 2. You are partially…

Well...tbh this seems far more just like a cheap way of promoting the novel than a way to actually provide useful information

Anti-semitism (and any other form of discrimination) disgusts me and I agree with much of the article, however I found it very convenient the way the whole issue of Palestine was s…

That's another thing in which CS has gone in the opposite direction. Before, the ambassadors had much stronger roles of welcoming and educating new members of the community, now th…

My experience is quite different. I made several lasting friendships in both local and foreign CS meetings. I have a big group of friends locally, and CS just added some more.

I've been active in CS since 2008. I can pay for a hotel, but the experience of the experience of getting to know a place like a local is priceless and that - as well as meeting re…
