I get you. I used to buy Nexus devices as well as some of the first Pixels, until at some point the prices shot up to ridiculous levels for a phone and I went with other brands. Last year though the Pixel 8a was selling for 350€ and I got

Same. I've been working with and managing thousands of WP sites for over a decade and the only issues I've had have been with sites acquired from 3rd parties with random themes and plugins (and old WP versions) that break if you u

What you're describing is how the process in the EU works. So in essence it is "the EU". It doesn't seem to have any limits or restrictions on what it can do as an institution. It forced idiotic bottlecaps on all of us

Problem is that once you've gotten this thing through to begin with it's comparatively easy to make slight amendments later, also of course with the justification of "protecting the children".

It doesn't change anything with their higher tier sales. Those are bought for a reason that a lower tier device cannot satisfy. My worry (from Apple's POV) is that all the people who buy the cheapest Mac (currently for $1k) will i

Very much so. I still have my M1 bought in 2021, haven't felt like there is any need to upgrade to any of the newer ones.

Indeed. The more powerful tools there are available, the worse kind of people get drawn to them. And the more it corrupts those with initially good intentions. People seem to be longing for a God of sorts in their aspirations towards author

I love having the fingerprint reader behind the screen on my Pixel 8a. It has a clear benefit vs. the back; you can unlock it while it's sitting on the table, without lifting it up.

Indeed. I'm using a $150 Moto since three years back when the charger port broke on my previous phone. I can't imagine what people "need" high-performance phones for, other than gaming, and for that as well there are muc

What the fuck do you have against people "ruining their lives"? I've made a ton of bad decisions in the course of my life. And I'm all richer for it. Don't take that away from me. I despise the nanny state policies
