My favorite is the way there's no keyboard illumination until after you've typed in your password. Try typing "NrhUk328jds" in a darkened room in an input box that only shows **********.
As hard as it may be for you to understand, your average computer user, even intelligent people who do real work, usually can't easily up and switch to a new OS and stay productive.
Sure they can. It's only people like you holding them back by telling them it might be difficult.
How's this for a though: Any effort they put in will be rewarded tenfold by being able to choose between dozens of keyboards/screens/etc in the future.
Really? Firefox is still sending a stupidly detailed user-agent string, exact model of graphics card, list of plugins, list of installed fonts, screen resolution, time zone, etc.
Hell, even your "Do Not Track" setting is useful to the people who want to track you - some people enable it, some people don't. Imagine that, a privacy-enhancing feature that decreases your privacy.
ie. They know their customers are stupid/vain enough to buy at least two folding screen devices from them for $2500+ each. The first one will be a bad, probably with a visible bump/crease line, the second one will promise to "fix" the first one. Third one? We'll see how sales of the first two go and decide whether to do it.
My thoughts? Now that they've got the bezels down to almost nothing then why can't they make a folding phone from two separate LCD panels with a sort of light pipe thing in the middle to hide the join?
Maybe it wasn't the search that's informative. It's the pointing out of where the "jobs" being created by Trump are really coming from - he's buying them with tax money.
(and taking the sort of gamble that's already lead him to six bankruptcies in the past).
Nope, he thinks it means borrowing a whole lot of money to try and crush the competition then declaring bankruptcy and not paying the contractors what you owe when you finally figure out that it's not sustainable because you're not "competing", you're "subsidizing".
Leave other people to pay the bills and pick up the pieces.
A lot of the flat earthers I've met are really just trolling other people.
How do you know?
Because they're not idiots. They're just trying to find out how many other people know how to prove that the earth isn't flat.
For contrast I also know somebody who genuinely doesn't believe The Earth is round (she's an old lady with not much education so I don't devote much energy to changing her mind).

Add to this a "screen where I can see what's on it and not just a reflection of my face and every light and brightly lit object in a 100 yard radius".

Seig heil!
Question: What would history label a German who sent information to the allies about the Nazi extermination camps?
(We know the German high command would probably label them a traitor and jail them, I'm asking about "history")
A long way to go, but I like this direction.

The idiots will find a new reason to avoid vaccinations. If anything fails, the study will be dismissed as fake from the pharma industry.
Ummm, the pharma industry is in favor of vaccines.
That's not the reason socialism fails. Socialism fails because it rewards non-achievers the same as the achievers.
When non-achievers get the same rewards as the achievers then everybody stops making an effort. It starts at mediocrity and goes downhill from there.
They're blend, I think you'll find. Captalist with some socialist policies mixed in.
You can bet none of the "telemetry" has been removed.
I wonder if it needs energy to do this, an amount of energy greater then the energy produced by burning it in the first place?
If so, why not just use that energy instead? Cut out the middle man.
before it actually did. So either they're fake news or they were part of the plot, take your pick libtards.
It's almost as if you don't know there's a time zone difference between the USA and the UK.
Not true, eg. Apple recently innovated away the headphone jack.
Samsung and Huawei are struggling to catch up with that move (I think they're getting there though).
Because "marketing" and "business".

130,000 of them for $8.6 million a year. What are they going to replace them with that costs only $5.5 per month and has the same reliability?
Sure, let's make our emergency services rely on something that's delicate that needs constant battery recharging to work.

They're not doing it with taxpayer money.

I offered them $100 for that table but they turned me down.
Their loss.
Nobody, yet.
The point is that the lunatics are running the asylum.
As much as I like Linux, Windows is still where all the games are.
I thought Steam fixed all that.
Profits from the Smallpox vaccine literally dropped to zero shortly after is was introduced.
The shareholders were quite angry about that, I remember it well.
Jesus H. Christ on a bicycle, believing in flat earth or other kinds of extreme nonsense has nothing to do with "critical thinking"!
No, but pretending to believe in it does.
Maybe you also believe that all those Satanist/nihilist metal bands also believe in Satan/suicide?
