Where are you getting your 20 year figure from? There's a study which says 10 years but doesn't account for the energy/co2 required to refine oil. EV battery packs can also be recycled as grid storage.

It was also the week that a lot of Finns start their summer holidays so presumably a seasonal expectation as well. I'm sure a weak pound plays a part, but hardly breaking news.

I think this is a common path for MBPs of the same age. I've got a 2009 model and upgraded the HD to SSD and memory a couple of times. The processor can feel a little sluggish but it still handles what I need it to. But that's no

I've been using Linode for production machines for about 4 years now and have been very happy with them. The security issues were a concern but appear to be the exception rather than the rule. I've been using DO recently because I

The spam that's being referred to is link spam i.e buying large numbers of links, comment spam etc in order to boost the target domain's search rankings. There's no one tool that will give you an exact answer regarding the domains penalty s

Perhaps they were comfortable with WP, perhaps they didn't want to spend time reinventing the wheel, perhaps they didn't want to have to support a massive body of code.

The term subsidized, to me, seems misleading. On a contract you're usually buying the phone on credit and paying it off in your monthly contract charges. I wish there were more transparency in contract pricing. Ie. this is the cost of the p
