I think you need to check your math there. 40 million devices in 2 billion is 2%. Not 0.001%

A quick search resulted in this: "Android malware saw a 67% increase in 2025, with over 40 million downloads of malicious apps targeting banking and stealing data, frequently hiding in "Tools" and utility apps on the Google P

Still a bold move considering the increased malware on android devices vs ios. My parents would have their banking information stolen within 6 months

71% of the US population is white. 34-40% of Harvard students are white. 26% of Stanford students are white. Yeah, sounds like a really valid conspiracy you have there

A commendable operation but sadly, this is a very small fraction of a percentage of the 8-10 million tons of plastic entering the ocean each year. The Ocean Cleanup themselves have estimated at least 75% of ocean trash is from fishing boats

People seem to think that the customer exists because of the iPhone app store, when it's often usually the other way around. Other than a small handful of apps being promoted for free in the app store, the majority of businesses have t

Just read a great book about this - Apocalypse Never. It's mostly just alarmism and white guilt mongering.

Absolutely! But most ICE vehicles people drive don’t get anywhere near that type of mileage because we tend to be buying much larger heavier cars. Hybrids help a lot of people get god level mpg and the reduced running costs without needing

I feel the same way and after speaking with many EV people i've realised the main benefit is how cheap they are to run. This comes down to the increase in efficiency compared to an ICE - ~80% of the battery energy finds its way to the

For truly wealthy people their time is incredibly valuable so spending time learning about a field they are not expert in is going to be more costlier than just going out and buying a well established brand. In some cases with Rolex or Ferr

It's 30%. It's only 15% after 12 months of a customer rebilling which is statistically insignificant number, and it was only done as a carefully orchestrated PR move to make people think 15% when it's really 30 - as you have

This is the problem with skipping through things like this - you missed the part about real world chrome performance. It’s okay to be happy with 8gb, but it doesn’t mean you are right. Ignorance may be bliss but try not to spread it

We can talk about what "Pro" doesn't mean - a compromised, crippled machine that has to use swap memory from day 1. https://youtu.be/hmWPd7uEYEY So watch that and tell me again why you think the difference ‘i

by pentae 3y ago
Again it comes down to the fact that 8GB means you are almost guaranteed to be on swap. Does it work? Sure. But there is nothing ‘Pro’ about that, it wears out your drive faster and gives suboptimal performance

by pentae 3y ago
I think you missed the point - we're talking about computers marketed as "Pro" devices which should be able to handle "Pro" workloads. 8GB on the Airs is a completely different issue as these are not marketed as Pro

And then Apple wouldn't be able to make 30% off you where you're going which is why the app store reviewers encourage devs to use in app browser instead of letting it just load Safari which is a far better experience

It's to do with the EPA rating. If the car maker allows auto start/stop to be turned off permanently then the ratings agency will test the car again with it turned off then combine the two results into their score. Having a slight

I would probably trust a nurse with AI augmentation more than a regular doctor, which I'm sure would help relieve a lot of pressure on the system. But i'm sure the doctors and the AMA would do everything in their power to stop tha

You're describing a luxury car maker that understands its customers get pissed off very easily and don't like being told what to do. Even the chimes in a BMW/Mercedes are quite pleasant compared to the ear-ringing DING DING D
