Same. It's the same fucking shit as CFLs. They claim X lifetime and I'm lucky to get 1/10th that. I tried buying the expensive, brand-name shit and it makes no difference compared to the bargain bin shit.
Add the the annoying fucking humming, flickering, terrible color, and not being dimmable for shit. New light bulbs suck fucking ass and cost too fucking much.
Pretty much all pop-physics is guessing and jackoffery, suited only for Morgan freeman to present it on "Through the Wormhole", accompanied by a terrible metaphor / physical demonstration presented by a celebrity "scientist" who has devoted their entire life to this "research".
And Ethernet is virtually extinct for laptops these days. The ports are nearly all unused. When you see an old wired office usually the ethernet sockets aren't connected to anything any more, obsoleted by fast wifi.
You're living in the past.
Protip: When trying to troll, you can't go full retard.
Meanwhile, to be portable for meetings, you need to bundle in your bag additional adapters (eg. plugging into a projector). A slightly thicker laptop with no dongles will actually be more portable.
Yup. It amazes me how people splooge themselves over how thin and light their laptop is, yet end up carrying it, the power brick, a mouse, a USB to ethernet adapter, a mini dsplayport to something sane adapter, etc. in an overstuffed travel bag. Whereas a larger, cheaper laptop gets you a bigger screen, a larger trackpad (fuck all trackpads, though), a real ethernet port, real video outputs, and a larger battery, meaning you don't need anything but the laptop for a presentation, or the laptop and the charger for a full day of work.
Mouse, keyboard, webcam, disc printer, scanner, game controller adapter, external drive. I had a printer but it died and I never bothered to replace it. I still have open ports for when I need to do something atypical, such as deal with SD/microSD cards, flash drives, some other peripheral, or my USB humping dog.
VESA has standardized DisplayPort Alt Mode for use over USB 3.1.
DisplayPort 1.3 is 32.4 Gbps on 8/10 encoding, giving you 25.92 Gbps effective throughput. If you switch that to USB's 128/132 encoding (which is far less error tolerant, isn't DC balanced, etc.), you still need 26.73 Gbps to handle DisplayPort 1.3.
DisplayPort 1.3 can carry USB 3.0 (and 3.1, though I don't think it's in the standard yet). USB 3.1 cannot carry DisplayPort 1.3. It can carry DisplayPort Alt Mode.
Yes there is. It's just not listed as an app because it's baked in hard and called something like "com.unintelligible.android.trololo". You can't truly see it, identify it, or manage it.
Android is buggy, insecure, fractured out the fucking ass, and absolutely anti-user. From the shitty permissions system to the shitty lack of a file manager to the shitty mountain of built-in, unidentifiable system apps and "services" that auto start for no fucking reason and do who-knows-what at all times with the increasingly-vague permissions to drain your battery and eat up all your RAMs. It's absolutely insane that I have to conjure up some voodoo bullshit to root a device then install a 3rd-party app to wrangle permissions, remove shit I don't want, stop shit from running in the background non-stop, etc.
I buy AMD because of the huge cost/core advantage, flexible upgrade paths, and unlocked parts. I don't need an anti-monopoly cause to stay away from Intel.
This isn't a call for censorship. Yik-Yak is a private company with social responsibility. Censorship does not apply if there is no government action involved. This is just private agreement between responsible adults.
Yik-Yak has no "social responsibility". There is no such thing as a "social contract", by the way. Here in the real world we have actual contracts and laws. Not liberal make believe bullshit. The government does not have to be involved for censorship to be censorship. Censorship is censorship, regardless of who does it.
OK, Try listening to some television recorded in the 1970s or 1980s and then listen to today's equivalent. Back then, people would identify each other by ethnicity and criticize each other openly. Nada today. Demonstrates a clear censorship, and calling it 'self-censorship' is bullshit, it's a centrally mandated process. Everyone feels better, right? But when anonymity is achieved, as in trolls on the net and this service, people show their true colors.
Being oblivious to the process doesn't mean it didn't happen.
If anyone wants to see a perfect example of this in action, watch The Bad News Bears then watch Bad News Bears.

I've heard this claim before.
They still look like shit.

It's not 'gold coloured'. It's literally solid gold.
No it isn't.
Forty.
When no one was looking, Lex Luthor took forty cakes. He took 40 cakes.
That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
You won't always have 4 lanes available. Otherwise USB 3.1 would be branded as 40 Gbps instead of 10 Gbps.
Then you have shitty mills and tooling.

Thunderbolt makes it so that when you plug a cable in to connect to the projector, you can get fucked via DMA.
It's not a good thing.
The one with the larger screen which also happens to have the corresponding larger battery?
on my n6, there's no "google search" app
Yes there is. It's just not listed as an app because it's baked in hard and called something like "com.unintelligible.android.trololo". You can't truly see it, identify it, or manage it.
I think the better question is "Does systemd include Android yet?".
I'd love it if that was Android's main failing.

Yes it does.
If you're machining stainless steel you don't have a problem machining stainless steel.
I still say it about cell phones. If a phone can't last several days it's a piece of fucking shit.
Keep the lie alive.

How many scripts are acceptable on such a page? If zero, then without script, what would provide controls for the audio playback?
Seems to me the standard <embed> has worked just fine for decades. Browsers shouldn't be handling this shit.
