I have to say I agree with the poster. In religion we are expected to believe a god because a book exists, no more encouraging are the results anyone has seen from autonomous driving so far.
They have to guarantee it is statistically safer than *any* human. Otherwise there will always be someone that they introduce death and injury to. I don't care about some dream world where everyone has one and their perfect. Killing people now is killing people now.
Again, more questions.. looking at the HDHomeRun box, it looks cool.. but how does this work? Where does the signal come from? I have a choice of exactly one cable TV provider in my area and they insist I use their box.
You forgot to mention how they scurry away and hide for days on end if they have been given a task that is too complicated for them to understand and work on independently. Happens over and over again to me.
I never tried Myth, but I had a friend who used it. I've never been sure how to tell if a TV tuner card would work in my area and didn't want to be bothered with ordering one and having to return it. Kodi seemed to be the thing to use for people without tuner cards so that is what I have stuck with. If it wasn't for the vast uncertainty of media in this day and age I probably would have tried Myth and liked it, but as it turns out TV was just too much of a risk for me.
Lol, you're talking about a tiger changing it's stripes, you're suggesting that the capitalist system will all of a sudden reflect products that are good for people. It's not as simple as that.
How long would that death be expected to take? I threw out a bunch of T23 adapters that still work because we don't really plan to use our T23s any more, and they had the flimsier connector. That was from around 12-13 years ago. Perhaps after 20 years they might give out?
I don't want to have to accomodate a mac in my house with an entire set of dongles and cables, period. Buy them for $30 each locally or have to stop working and wait for days for one. STOP talking like that is a solution.
I want to say in the friendliest way possible.. I hate magsafe. I don't get the point of it. When I try to use my laptop on my lap in bed the connector keeps coming out. move the laptop and the cord snags in the slightest, the connector comes out. What is this accomilishing? If I am by a power outlet I want to have my battery charged and run on AC so that my battery will be there for when I really need it. I drag thinkpad cords around all over the place, no issues; so they can be made to take the abuse. The only thing I can see it preventing is someone dangling it across a walkway, but that's just an obvious no-no. When my kids do that with their tablets they pay for the repairs.
USB-C ports are not awesome for anyone who has more USB-A ports. We only just unified most phones on micto-usb for crying out loud. What I need from the technology industry is to PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS.
Well, last year I dropped a Thinkpad from my laptop bag which wasn't closed onto a hard tile floor and it bounced a couple times. No damage whatsoever. Who cares if it won't break, I don't want it to GET DAMAGED AT ALL. Win for the Thinkpad.
If you break it down item by item I'm sure most people would be shocked what Apple charges for so little. Apple sells systems because no one really thinks about what they are getting.
I doubt the metal body is more durable than a thinkpad. In fact I have proof; I dropped a thinkpad on the surface of a macbook from my bed once and the macbook dented fairly easily. I would accept your case for heat dissipation if the head from a macbook didn't otherwise need to be vented through the keyboard which is another known flaw.
I'm a developer, and I don't find OSX a joy to develop on. I'm constantly having trouble sizing windows to fullscreen properly; xcode absolutely refuses to go fullscreen on my 4:3 monitor, it only seems to want to do 16:9, leaving a big gap at the bottom. XCode also has a lot of other frustrating quirks such as not being able to undock many views such as the application log and treat them as a separate window. I would allow to be able to double click on a source file and have it open in a tab instead of a separate window, or have xcode show me the real folder structure instead of some pretend virtual structure. There are fewer hotkeys for traversing through code such as finding all references, etc. it almost seems to me that Apple wanted to force people to develop on a mac so they came up with XCode as a minimal tool to use in order to be able to draw people to the platform.
As a developer, efficiency is all about having my keys not leave the keyboard yet they keep adding gestures to the touchpad without adding alternative hotkeys on the keyboard for traversing history etc. Now with the touch strip Apple seems even more hell bent on making my hands and eyes wander. I do development with linux and IntelliJ as much as I can because it is the setup that seems to be tuned for work. Macs are just tuned for fluff and people who never stop being entertained by fades and sweeps and swoops, and are easily distracted by how inefficient it is compared to other platforms.
I've seen good team leads be fooled by good bullshitters. Also, you're definition of 'bullshit' may differ from mine. For me, if a person is my friend, I can have a beer with them and say something like, "Oh man I had the worst day today, I was on the wrong server and I typed rm -r * by mistake but I quickly restored it and no one was the wiser". To me, this is a natural conversation. People who 'network' on the other hand never talk about faults or mistakes or bad days. Therefore it seems completely fake to me. Any such fabrication or concern over one's self image I call bullshit.

All it would take is a construction site to get built very quickly.
Yes I know it's they're.

And end up having to say no to the kids 100 times. no way.

Ah, the 'you're holding it wrong' response. Just use the device the way Apple wants you to, not the way you want to use it.

The important question that every one seems to ignore is, how many times have you been hacked?
What?? How does that work without an application??!? /sarcasm

I would hope they have a separate reliable firmware processor on the power button, otherwise yeah that is a blatant mistake.

I wouldn't work for a place that screwed me out of a headphone jack.
Android users are too busy getting stuff done to be out committing crimes.
I just came here to see some heads explode.
Is there any other way to look at Uber employment?
