    Let’s just take 95% as a true figure … first of all the 5% you don’t get back is a straight up loss. The rewards you get at the end of the month are fine (eg cash back) but you’ve …

    What do you mean by this? I’ve been getting great mileage out of copilot, especially since learning about the @workspace keyword. Could you quantify your criticism a bit more? (gen…

    Do people really watch movies on xreals? I tried the Air Pro 2 and found them borderline unusable. Also, AR glasses being used by someone operating a motor vehicle sounds like a re…

    They can shop at alternatives (if they exist in the specific town in Quebec), for now. It's not really hyperbole, I think. The basic right is at the very least being threatened, if…

    I throw it on the charger for 30 minutes while I work in the evening. Works great, and as others have noted, that’s usually enough to get through 2 nights. It charges pretty quickl…

    I think you've already gotten lots of feedback on pricing -- One thing I didn't see mentioned is that your website lacks a pricing page. Yes, you indicate the subscription price, a…
