Are you dragging yourself to work AND finding yourself still getting there two hours late because fuckit AND then working at home past when you really wanted to go to bed multiple nights in a row AND hating your job AND not caring if the current deathmarch you are on actually yields a product?
Wait, this doesn't happen to 100% of people in 100% of jobs ?
A Mac is most definitely NOT a PC. Just because it uses an x86 processor doesn't make it a PC.
The term PC is short for 'IBM PC Compatible' , meaning a computer compatible with the IBM 5150 Personal Computer. That is: it has to be able to run Microsoft PC DOS 1.0 and apps developed for that. Modern Mac's certainly can't run PC DOS 1.0 without emulation/virtualisation, they lack a lot of legacy PC stuff.
Take skin tan for example. It used to be that a fair skin was high-status and a tanned skin was low-status, back when poor people got a tan by working outside all day and the rich people stayed inside.
Then it turned around, now the poor people spend inside all day working. while the rich people can afford nice holidays where they can get tanned, so no being tanned is high-status and fair skin is low-status.
So a worn out 4WD *could* be high-status because it indicates you have lots of free time to go out and explore nature in that car.
People like the old/worn look on denim because it implies that clothes have been used, that they have a history and that the wearer has an actual life. However, buying them pre-worn is just faking it.
With Android being open, both manufacturers and carriers are free to do as they please.
No they aren't, not in reality.
Android phones without Play Services aren't very useful and to get Play Services you have to abide by Google's rules. They should have made regular updates (pushed directly by Google) a requirement to get Play Services on your phone.
Also, don't Android apps run in a VM, and wasn't one of the biggest advantages of using a VM that apps can be OS and platform agnostic ? So why doesn't Google just update the VM/runtime to the latest API version regardless of the underlying OS version ? That would solve a majority of the fragmentation issues.
programming skills are useful for whatever field the student goes into. Either making models in physics or economy, creating art or managing office supplies in spreadsheets.
What about chicken catchers, how is programming useful to them ? And in case you wonder what a chicken catcher does, it's someone who catches chickens for a living (basically, their job is to drive to a different farm each day, go into a barn full of chickens and put them in cages for transport to a butcher). I know a guy who does that, I'd love to see you teach him programming. Note that this guy is not mentally handicapped by any definition; let's just say he's not very good at abstract thinking.
What about the people who work in the bread factory around the corner from where I live. There are guys who've been working there for 30+ years and all they do is prepare shipments of bread for supermarkets. Cart 1 for supermarket A, 20 loafs of white bread, 30 of full grain, etc. on to Cart 2, 15 loafs of... you get the idea. What use is programming to them ?
Hell, I know people who actually have a BsC from a 4 year CS program who can't code to save their lives. And these are college educated people who actually had programming courses as part of their BsC. They could kind-of do the assignments in the course but only as long as the assignments looked similar enough to the material studied in class. They didn't actually understand what was going on, they were merely monkeys who knew how to repeat a trick. Most of them went on to some 2 year follow-up management program.
Hell, I've interviewed job applicants with supposedly 10 years of programming experience who I wouldn't let near a compiler.
We want to subscribe to one service and get all content, we don't need (or want) that content to be exclusive to that service.
So the solution is simple, forbid exclusivity and require content creators to provide their content to all services under identical terms. Then you have multiple services to choose from and all services can offer all content (if they want).
Alternatively look for a commercial display intended for digital signage. Pretty much a TV without all the bells an whistles. Usually a lot more expensive than an equivalent TV too.
I assume you use no services paid for by taxes, such as public roads, schools, hospitals, police protection, etc. ?
I'm fine with making taxes optional, sort of like a membership fee. You either pay the membership fee (taxes) or you GTFO as you are no longer allowed to use any of the members-only services.
"If you think about what makes games so fantastic, it's the experiences you have with your friends,"
No, what makes games fantastic is that I can escape into a fantasy world for a while and not have to deal with the real world, which includes other humans.
I can't be the only one that hates multiplayer games with a passion. I think they are lazy money-grabs (no need to have story or any real content, just provide a few arena's and let the users provide the 'content'). They are cheap to make and can be milked almost indefinitely.
A MAC whitelist provides exactly 0 additional security. Worse, people like you think they are secure when in fact they are not, making it less secure in practice.
The single-core performance of the A8 is actually higher than that of the Snapdragon. So while it's faster in a multicore benchmark it's going to be slower in actual real-life use. Especially if you take into account how inefficient Android is.

They don't need to patch every possible exploit, only ones that allow privilege escalation.
Well, if you give them a list of exploits that these tools use, I'll bet they will be more than happy to fix them.
if a product, like GrayKey and Cellebrite is released, then it is imperative that Apple reverse-engineer it to fix bugs they exploit.
And to do that they need to get their hands on one of them first, and GrayKey/Cellebrite are doing everything they can to prevent that.
Oh come on, that thing was nothing like an iPhone. If you had ever used one you'd know how different they were.
Depends entirely on the circumstances.

iPhone users (...) are conditioned to upgrade their devices.
You know that on iOS, unlike Android, you can update to the latest OS version without buying a new phone, right ?
The adoption numbers are a result of updates actually being available to consumers, not lack of willingness to update on the part of Android users.

Of course there is a way to win.

I basically got it for the extra USB ports. I mainly use it with an external 4k screen and usb keyboard anyway.

But, sadly, no known offspring so far... :'(
Don't worry, it's not like we're running out of humans any time soon.
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection gets you 2 shooters + a lot of DLC and it can be played split-screen on PS4, up to 4 players.
If you can't see how his "joke" is offensive
It's offensive towards Trump, which was kind of the point.
The only thing about it that could be considered offensive to gay people is the suggestion that they have something in common with Trump.
That was a bug and has already been fixed ages ago: http://ifixit.org/blog/7924/er...
Which is exactly what they did

Microsoft has agreed to withdraw its regulatory complaints against Google, reflecting our changing legal priorities
Seems like they finally realised who the real enemy is in this: the consumer.
Seriously though, if you don't want any trouble with regulatory complaints, maybe try not to break any regulations.

Windows 95 ran in 4MB, although 8MB was recommended.

It works flawlessly in Safari too. (Safari 8.0 on OS X 10.10 Yosemite).
