Kids have a very poor ability to foresee and choose delayed gratification. The cookie experiment is proof of that. To children, a piñata is an exercice in intense delayed gratification. That and you get to hit things.

Do not use a display made for commercial kiosk use as a tv. They have terrible response times, brightness levels meant to be seen under sunlight, not for the fine differences of movies.

The whole discussion on what the EU is doing has devolved into this idea that everyone will be forced to offer a backplate that pops out and a battery you can remove with your fingers. The directive is far more complicated, and you will not

This is it; why make your own CPU, if you can't make large breaking changes because you've promised Linux support? Apple is not interested in tying their hardware design to Linus Torvalds.

Apple chose SCSI as its connector of choice in the 90s. It was a standard, it was faster and better than Serial, and PC manufacturers never bothered to offer it. Apple chose an internal connector that worked with their CPUs. They couldn&#x2

Look to the Westminster system for the true solution to the Commission’s lack of accountability. Let the MEPs of each country vote on who amongst them will sit on the Commission.

Not significantly. Your point that only failed states decide to use another nation's currency is automatically a failed state is simply untrue. It can be a marker, but it's not an automatic mark. Montenegro is not a failed state.

This shorthand that marketing means a bad thing is actually not true for Apple. Apple's marketing is how it ought to be at every company. They do market research to figure out what users need, they famously came up with the iPod's

And everybody forgets the true power of Apple: scale. Can that supposed miracle chip be readily found in million of phones within 6 months? Or will Xiaomi keep selling 90% of their phones with 2 year old chips, reserving these chips to thei

Yeah, Apple is very weary of breaking user functionality. They'll just break your app's ability to run.

This attitude can be a strong precursor to positive change. In Canada, Dr. Morgentaler performed abortions in Montréal, and prosecutors were unable to compose a jury of enough people who would return a guilty verdict for any abortion. So it

If you want to see how exactly a Westminster Parliament would stop duly elected MPs who did not follow the rules, look at the 2022 controversy about the Parti Québécois MPs who refused to pledge allegiance to the monarch. They were physical

The biggest tell of the A-series' chip concessions are the ports. A first for Apple, only one USB-C port is Thunderbolt, the other one is USB 2.0 speed. Apple made a computer with a chip made for devices with one port.

I moved to the Mac App Store version of OneDrive specifically because of the constant issues with the background processes it insists it must have running at all times. The MAS version has only one of those and it works.

Je suis gaucher, et j'ai fait le choix idiot quand j'étais jeune de mettre ma souris à gauche. C'est un choix très étrange, mais ça fait en sorte que je n'ai jamais eu à me troubler des touches supplémentaires à droite.
