Have they cured your selective hearing or own sampling bias? The advice has always been clear, if you have diabetes you need to lose weight to help manage it. Same for high blood pressure.
Just pretending that advice wasn't there and then spitting out some dollar figure doesn't make it so.
Also, LTE replacing private WiFi for sensitive corporate applications? In whose dreams?
Err, everyone's. That's a general industry move right now is to switch to LTE and come back into the office via VPN. Hell we did the same thing with our WiFi networks too, any connection to the WiFi was untrusted and you had to VPN into the network within the building. The move to LTE presents no worse security but has a massive improvement in mobility.
Unless your corporate network actually is just directly connected to WiFi in which case WTF are you thinking.
Oh a Mac would be a better option if that was a requirement for you.
Based on what? Most Macs come with a built-in display well outperformed by others in the industry. The one which doesn't costs more than a second hand car and is now is essentially ancient hardware with the dubious record of still being priced the same as it was on release date.
10 years ago this wouldn't have been a contest. But Apple has cut the creative professionals off at the knees and then pissed on them while they were down, so much so that Adobe now preferences PCs over Macs when it comes to releasing products (e.g. the move to 64bit was delayed by almost 2 years on the Mac, and there was an entire version of Photoshop on Mac that they never released).
Apple isn't for graphic designers anymore. It's for hipsters, consumers, rich teenagers, and anyone who is very late to jump on the me too bandwagon.
Even if there wasn't a software difference between them, high end silicon is costly enough without pissing money away on brushed aluminium and weird garbage bin styling.
Why does everyone who is pro-Windows do "heavy video" and "photo editing"?
Because if they wern't there would be nothing tying them to Windows. It's like saying why is everyone who is Pro Ferrari interested in performance cars.
But I want her to get used to it as a locked down device with the opportunity to increase her permissions in the future
Nothing says training an Apple user like getting them into a very walled garden early.
To be clear I'm not commenting about your parenting. I genuinely don't know the answer. But we have only in the past 10 years been surprised, disgusted and generally confused at the general acceptance of corporate control in the guise of keeping us safe from ourselves. I do wonder if we have actually been subconsciously trained like this by our parents. You can't go through years of control only to flip that magic 18yr switch and just pretend like it doesn't have a lasting effect on us.
That's good. Set the challenges early. But really you have to make it harder than that. Seriously no Facebook? I wonder what you think about that rule the first time you see a teenage boy jump out of your daughter's second story bedroom as you pull into the driveway.
All I can say man: Good luck. I think you are in for just as much of an education as your children will be.
Maybe an MRI or brain scan would provide something more conclusive than people self-reporting.
Maybe an MRI or brain scan is expensive and should not be considered a first step when the null hypothesis could be excluded by people self reporting.
Seriously does anyone remember how science works anymore? When did we get so impatient that we expect everything to go from "I have math" to "Full scale multi million dollar working prototype" in one step?
What would they debunk? Their own advice that a major contributor to Type 2 diabetes is weight gain? The evil MIC has been providing this very advice here for many years.
And you see I get this response from everyone who I ask to tell me what's so awesome about their latest phone that can't be done on 4 year old hardware. It's almost like a panic reaction *inside voice* omg he's caught me, I've got nothing to say, but I must say something or else ahhhhhhhh */inside voice* "You're an idiot!" *inside voice* yeah that showed him */inside voice*
Well we're talking purely financial advice. Since the GP ignored any benefit or joy gained from drinking a lovely prepared coffee in a nice cafe then I guess we should ignore that for everything else too. Then it becomes a money game.
Run Oreo. Doh! (A phone isn't just a processor and RAM)
Oh you must be one of those "gotta have a quad core to make a phone call types". I've yet to see anyone actually do anything with a smartphone that we haven't been doing for 4 years already. But hey I get it. Oreos are tasty and it's oh so important to be a letter of the alphabet higher.
Oh I see now. A typo. What an epic fail. I guess my life was over.
Thanks though. If a single character typo is what qualifies as an "epic fail" "even by my standards" you must hold me in very high regards. I'm honoured, humbled, and undeserving of your complements.
I don't deal in absolutes. We need more storage online, but we won't eliminate baseload. Storage is expensive. It's even more expensive if it covers for situations where it remains unused. E.g. that 100MW battery Tesla put online recently? Well it's done a wonderful job purely in frequency management spiking massively between +/- 50MW as it attempts to maintain grid stability in a part of the country that is not even close to being underserviced by baseload providers.
We're starting to see stability issues in areas where baseload is still well and truly established and we can barely build storage systems fast enough to keep the lights on. The idea that we'll ever get to a full renewable (in the current sense, excluding things like fusion) + storage based system is a fantasy. We'll always have some form of continuous massive generation, OR we need to as a civilisation start coming to terms with the idea that 100% reliability is not something we should expect from our wall sockets.
Not just that, but also availability. Cost of manufacturing has declined and as such as availability to things like cars. The 2017 average new car price is unchanged from 1970 but the spread of available cars is now incredible with students straight out of school able to buy (I dare not say afford) an entry level new car, and that's to say nothing of the second hand market.
And? 4 year old phone? Sounds like something with a 1.6GHz CPU and 2GB of RAM. Precisely what do you do on your smartphone that wouldn't work just fine on that kind of hardware?
If my cell phone was recording everything around me and transmitting it, my pocket would be on fire
You overestimate how much effort it takes to record and listen. Phones have listened for key words in realtime and constantly for a good 5+ generations. Modern phones not only listen in realtime for keywords but for everything around you, e.g. the latest Pixel which has the equivalent of always on Shazam sitting on your lock screen displaying what song is on around you at all times.
But you still haven't explained why you have such an inefficient water heater.
Because inefficient is often better when it comes to thermal mass, and thermal mass ensures more constant water temperature and constant water temperature is what you need for espressos instead of mud. But you can google that one, especially why no machine worth it's salt actually warms up quickly and why the nicer machines sure as hell don't have a heatpump.
As for the being nicer than cafe's because you buy nice beans... Yeah I am starting to see what kind of establishments you frequent (or rather don't frequent). Let me guess, it's better than Starbucks so that makes it awesome espresso? Yeah right.
If I had been running a chain down there I would have been looking at the best practices from around the world and adapting them to my situation. Waiting for the biggest competition to announce their expansion before building up my business is just plain stupid.

Get a Roku. It gets YouTube. It gets Amazon Prime. It gets HBO, Starz, Hulu, etc. Anything you have a subscription to already.
One thing I can't see, can it play network content from a NAS? The website seems to focus mainly on streaming aspects.

No, that was achieved entirely by the Independent Coalition For The Continued Sales Of Tin Foil Hats!

Sorry, Ruslan who? Even by your standards that's an epic fail.
Because I know stuff about stuff it's an epic fail? Man your anti-intellectualism is the stuff of legends.
