Could not agree more. Not having full size arrow keys is a deal breaker for me.

In the places where automation is not happening, manual labor is still cheaper. The more these people strike though, the sooner they will get replaced by robots.

So since the 80s it is known that water enters the nuclear waste storage locations and how many people have died? None. Okay but how many people have faced any direct adverse consequences from it? Also none. And that isn't even a prope

I would really like to celebrate the affordability of renewable energy but Germany has one of the highest electricity prices in the world.

The reason why Apple still uses the Lightning port is because of regulation in the form of patents which give them a 20-year-monopoly on their plug design. Without the previous regulation there would be no need for this new regulation.

Used to be that people had to find innovative ways to adopt their business models to new technology. But not authors. They can just say "show me how I would earn money" and that justifies IP rights. It is your job as an entreprene

I cannot imagine a realistic scenario in which I would need two HDMI ports on the laptop. When I need to connect more than one screen (home, work) I would always use a docking station.

As I understand it, the big selling point for the 4 modular ports is that it allows future motherboards to fit the older chassis. The drawback is that you only have four ports to customize. What they could have easily done instead is to use

I would buy a Thinkpad over the Framework laptop in a heartbeat. Better keyboard (actual arrow keys!), track point, better hinges, matte screen, more ports, better warranty options. The only real negative is that Lenovo chose to solder the

I chuckled when the article raised the question about the cause of Qualcomm's continued stranglehold over the supply of modem chips. Oh, maybe it's their fantastic engineers, or maybe their huge investments, or maybe their innovat

If patents were only intended to encourage the disclosure of trade secrets, then they would only cover things that you actually can keep secret. Many if not most of the patents cover features of products that become obvious when the product

With 12th gen Intel and Ryzen 6000 knocking on the door, it does not feel right to be pre ordering 11th gen 4c/8t Intel laptops. If I were in the market for a new laptop I would get one of the new 16:10 ThinkPads.

It shows that OP clearly has no idea about how copyright law works. Everybody can use the work under fair use and you cannot restrict people from posting links to your site based on copyright. It seems like the author has a god complex. &qu

In 2022, TSMC is effectively the only game in town for the latest generation of chips - and isn't letting up. Anyone who wants to "catch-up" is now stuck with the daunting prospect of spending ~100 billion dollars to re-crea

> Why is Google the only one who can do it? Must they have yet another monopoly? Google can do it because most website operators want them to index their site. Plus, it is trivial to tell google to stop. That goes for all search engines.

Technically it should be illegal to scrape websites without the consent of the server owner because it would be a violation of their property rights. That being said, I think that in reality it would be pretty difficult to get courts to agr
