    This is the first I’m hearing of either of these products, or this company. If you’d asked me what a program named Dia was ten minutes ago, I’d have confidently replied that it’s a…

    I'm on it for the software + hardware combo. Take either away and I'd just get whatever cheap crap instead, and probably use my computers, phones, and tablets a lot less (wouldn't …

    Someone elsewhere on this page posted some details of the author's bio. They worked on Chrome/Blink for years. So of course they're upset Apple kept them from being the only browse…

    I don’t suppose anything a bit less-serious is available to normies? I have a iphone that died on vacation and was set to backup only on WiFi (I’ve since changed that setting, haha…

    It’s a technology that tends to generate output misrepresenting its own capabilities in dangerous ways. Among other things it may misrepresent. It’s weird these companies are allow…
