Go ahead. Use the laptop without an OS. We'll be waiting for your slashdot post from that laptop, telling us how great it is to not be shackled to Windows. Meanwhile, I'll be driving my trailer-less car to work.
It's not illegal for a grocery store to bundle products. It's only illegal for producers who are monopolies. Your first-world sense of entitlement does not define law. Thank God.
I work with iOS devices for a living. I've dealt with dozens over the past few years. I've seen one that had a problem with the lightning connector, and cleaning it out pretty much fixed it. What problems do people have with it?
If you never use the product, you'll probably form stupid opinions about it. Slack supports plugins. The command given above for video is available via a plugin, which Slack knows about and gives you a link to install when you invoke the given command.
(They aren't plugins in the browser-sense, but I don't know what Slack calls them.)
New code is written in Fortran all the time. I guess you don't work in any place doing numerical analysis more complex than Excel. Talk to a Ford engineer some time. I am sure you'd find the same any large auto manufacturer.
Below $100,000k your foreign earnings are tax-exempt.
That statement is false. I live in a country with a tax treaty with the US. As an ex-pat, I am required to file taxes with the IRS each year. Because of the treaty, taxes I pay on foreign income are deducted from taxes owed to the IRS. That does not mean my income is tax-exempt. It means I have a deduction.
(It happens to be that I pay more to my current government than I would have owed the IRS, so I don't pay any US taxes. That's still just a deduction, not an exemption.)
I guess you're not aware of how tax brackets work. The percentage charged for income at the highest bracket does not define the percentage paid on all income. The GP wrote "effective tax rate" for a reason.
I think you somehow managed to bolster the GP's point through some weirdly-inverted way. Acronyms are a form of compression to make communication easier. Cutesy acronyms whose long forms are twisted to fit the acronym do not ease communication.
Every single candidate up for election in the history of the world has said whatever they think will get them elected. Brushes with the truth have always varied.

If people were being entitled shit-heads, I'd charge them a 100% restocking fee. May as well make money off their assholery.

And so what? The world doesn't owe you a Sony laptop without Windows preinstalled.
When was the last time someone had to throw away an iPhone due to a bad battery?

Come back in 5 years and let us know what you picked. Or even if you were able to find a similar-quality phone with a headphone jack.
I use wired. They came with the phone. They work. They don't lose charge. I use BT in the car.

Code Snippets. I work at a development start-up. Code snippets are my favorite feature of Slack.
This is why we need a "-20 million: stupid beyond belief" mod.
All mechanical representations of numbers lead to inaccuracies.
That statement is false. While decimal number types may have limited precision, they are, in fact, accurate.
Facebook has revenue that exceeds expenses. We usually call those profits. In what way is it a scam?
New code is written in Fortran all the time. I guess you don't work in any place doing numerical analysis more complex than Excel. Talk to a Ford engineer some time. I am sure you'd find the same any large auto manufacturer.
That may be bad for Windows (I don't really think so), but how is it bad for C?
I am not taking a position of the morality of taxes, but a translated quote from a religious text doesn't define morality.
I hope someone's iPhone screen breaks and the pieces are jammed into your eyeballs.
You do know that Apple doesn't own any factories, right? Facts don't matter to shit-headed morons like you, though.

There is no reasonable definition of ownership under which I do not own my phone.

What kinds of major errands have gotten in...
Grocery shopping, filling the gas tank and picking up the dry cleaning.
Being a victim is not generally a government activity. You can report on criminal investigations without mentioning the names of the parties involved.

Facing justice in a European country or in the US is far from suicide. That you think otherwise speaks more for your mental condition than the truth.
