Presumably you get some kind of bulk discount if you're storing 100PB.

iPhone 6 here. Have experienced exactly this issue since upgrading to iOS 10 (and 10.1) The battery will drain extremely fast (typically lasts about half a day, with light usage), and will randomly and suddenly die when reporting 20, 30, or

What frustrates me the most is that Apple never admits a mistake. I'm never going to buy an iPhone without a headphone jack, but reinstating the jack on a future model would be admitting they made a mistake with the iPhone 7. Likewise,

I'm no sound engineer, but intuitively the design of the AirPods slightly exacerbates noise cancellation issues by: a) Placing the microphone further from a person's mouth, or at least, removing the option for people to hold a w

There's no need to be obtuse. The advanced noise cancelling, pairing, and synchronization tech are solutions to problems that don't exist (or are less pronounced, in the foremost case) with wired headphones.

It's not for lack of effort. I've racked my brains and I simply cannot understand why anyone would prefer these to existing wired or wireless headphones.

I also prefer in-ear headphones when out and about, so would compare the AirPods to something like the Klipsch S4i [1] Compared to the Klipsch earphones, the AirPods: 1) Are more than twice as expensive ($159 vs. $69) 2) Have significantly

Hopefully the delay is a chance for the product designers to go back to the drawing board. I simply cannot fathom why anyone would want to own a pair.

Is anyone else getting serious connector fatigue? For so long, USB 2.0 with a Type-A connector was the standard. You saw Type-B connectors on printer cables, but the other end always had the reassuring Type-A connector. Then along came USB

Unless you're using private NZB sites with encrypted/obfuscated files, usenet is nowhere near as good as it used to be. Even then, private torrent trackers are better for choice.

The average age of cars on the road in the US is something like 11 years [0] Even if CarPlay/Android Auto last more than five years, I expect new versions will come out which render old vehicles incompatible. [0] http://www.

If you're referring to topsites, they are archaic, their rules are outdated, and they optimize for speed over quality of releases. In terms of breadth and quality of content, private torrent trackers are far and away the best download

As per the iPhone 7, removing the 3.5mm port would free up a fair amount of internal space, which could be used for other purposes, and ultimately contribute to making the laptop thinner.

Obviously if you are buying items from the iTunes Store, or using Apple Music, they are tracking those transactions and your listening habits. If you are listening to your own music locally, iTunes does not phone home on your usage.

The 3.5mm port on the MacBook Pro is not just for headphones. It doubles as an S/PDIF connector for outputting digital optical audio, so can be used to feed external DACs or other audio equipment with lossless audio. I don't want

My use case is similar, and I'm bullish on USB-C improving this mess. At your desk, you just need a dock. Everything you currently connect to your laptop can be connected to that dock, and the cables hidden away, then all you need to c

Optical just feels like a cleaner interface. USB requires drivers, and introduces timing and electrical interference issues. USB also feels like overkill for an audio interface. It allows transfer of data in both directions, and introduce

The only reason they won't have cancelled the service is because they haven't done proper customer profitability analysis. There is absolutely no way a customer running a Tor exit node with ~50Mbps traffic 24/7 on a €4,90pm s

That sounds like a horrible relationship, and is certainly not the norm in many cities. As a property owner, you should not have to request (by means of a "Post No Bills" message or other) that other people don't interfere wi

If your argument is that it takes a lot of resources to apprehend and convict someone, only to send them away for a mere four years, by far the largest cost in all of this is that of keeping them in jail. It costs around £40k/year to k

It's the difference between copyright infringement for commercial gain, and for non-commercial, personal use. I doubt many torrent site operators make much money from their operations, and if they do make a profit now, the level of ris
