- Comment on Microsoft has a new idea on how to deter students from MacBook Neo - 9to5Mac 2 days ago:
Regarding the second point… the offer from Microsoft is good for 12 months. The Apple software does not expire. Sure, the support will end in about 7 years, but that’s a completely different story
- Comment on The World Is Basically Begging for Another iPod 4 days ago:
DRM audio files? Where? All songs that I have purchased in the past from iTunes didn’t have any drm. They where simple m4a (mp4 audio) files…

Still loads better than customization on windows though….
- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 3 weeks ago:
What kind of oversight are you talking about? Locally produced items do not need to fulfill more regulations.
If this was about cyber security there would be a mandatory certification (like there is for emc, like the FCC). But blanket statements like „foreign company bad!“ don’t do anything for increasing cyber security

Interesting. It is illegal where I am as well. Yet nobody gives a fuck and gyms still pull that crap.

Why does the country even matter?
- Comment on This happen to anyone else? 4 weeks ago:
You guys can get a new computer in 5 days?? At our company that takes at least 5 weeks and that only if it has been escalated.
I am honestly impressed that this all happened in one day.

How will they carry the running pc if it’s not a laptop?
- Comment on LG's new subscription program charges up to £277 per month to rent a TV 2 months ago:
If you want to watch football (or soccer) this season with friends, and will usually not watch much else, why not.
Plenty people rent most things. There is a whole market to rent electronics, even furniture.
- Comment on The RAM shortage’s silver lining: Less talk about “AI PCs” 2 months ago:
The price hikes are easily explained… companies get massive amounts of money from investors, they spend that money buying GPUs and RAM so they can promise AI. Prices for memory goes up on its own, it is just a „nice“ side effect.

- Comment on Kia drops the ball again on their vehicles 5 months ago:
The start stop system (in any car) is not as dumb as you think. It will not stop the engine when it is cold for example. It has a lot of conditions to actually stop the engine.
Don’t worry, it is not a safety hazard. Plenty of smart people have spent countless hours to make pretty damn sure that it is safe in all thinkable circumstances
- Comment on 5 months ago:
