  3. Apple reports Q1 2020 revenue of $91.8 billion

    Proud to have contributed?!?! Lmao. What is wrong with this world. Was thinking the same thing. Who is proud to have spent money? I might enjoy products I have bought, but never do I think "I sure am glad I helped someone else's bottom line."

    Proud to have contributed?!?! Lmao. What is wrong with this world. Exactly my thoughts, helping capitalism does not help anyone, nor does it help who thinks they did great.

  6. Apple reports Q1 2020 revenue of $91.8 billion

    Such numbers scare me honestly because I am a hardcore geek who stays away from anything Apple makes because I find no value for money in their products besides them being incredibly dumbed down. I am proud to have never contributed to their earnings. Although I have used and tried MacBooks, iPads, iPhones throughly, hated them and went back to Windows PCs and Android phones/phablets. The only Apple product I liked back in the 90s was QuickTime for Windows. 🤣🤣🤣

  9. Using it looks like it would be a pain. The screen protector turns into a stand alone? It doesn't look like it will fold all the way back, so the door must just flop around when talking or trying to take pictures. Paying $5200+ for a massive step back in usability is just crazy.

  11. Apple has a responsibility to the shareholders to take into account the disruption the virus could have on their operations. Every company that does business with China should already have had various meetings about it at the very least!

    Potential for complete failure, tbh. The device itself has no reason to exist. A Microsoft Android phone is just like any other Android phone and we already have those.

  19. Scroll is a new service that gives you ad-free internet for $5 per month

    So they expect us to pay to remove ads, and indirectly pay websites/publications? Ad-blockers are free, and have been here decades...I can't see this taking off.

  22. If only ISPs didn't lock down their routers, and didn't provide such sh*t ones in the first place, so that instead they could have longevity and not even need to be replaced... reduce. reuse. recycle.

  23. Given the cost of the dock vs other USB c docks, sticking with ms' solution seems bizarre unless you've already got an ms dock. They're still hundreds of dollars when a usbc dock will do it all for 25 bucks.

  25. Possible Surface Neo processor benchmark leaks

    How these Lakefield CPUs perform under load probably isn't as important as how little power it consumes when it's idle. Numbers I've seen elsewhere suggest that it'll be somewhere in the 500mW range at idle and 5 watts under load, which makes it competitive with ARM. The Snapdragon 855 in my Galaxy S10, for comparison, idles at around 1 watt. If that's true, then that's the end of the "ARM is more efficient!" argument, at least in the phone space. Windows 10 1909 also has an updated kernel that understands fast & slow CPU cores and can schedule work accordingly. 2020's going to be an interesting year for mobile CPUs, that's for sure.

  26. They rely on cheap Chinese labor, that's no secret. It's just a joke off Apple's Intel announcement. Where he points to a building and says they have been running Mac OS on intel in that building for the "Just in case" scenario. To be fair there's millions of them, all far more intelligent than we are. I'm sure it will all be fine. Also, I like edgy humour, I think we should have more of it not less! The world is turning into a set of oven-mitt-wearing grannies. I typically agree, but there needs to be clear humor involved, and a larger point you are trying to make. Most good edgy humor is actually mean to benefit the group it seems to attach. You can't just say something crappy, end it with the laugh/cry emoji and say "wasn't that hilarious?"

  32. Good multi-gig Ethernet card? (1/2.5/5/10)

    I ordered two aquantia based cards to see how they work, the intel ones look nicer spec wise but this is for a home network so I'm not too concerned about higher end cards but if these dont work out, that's the next move

  33. I don't think we're quite there yet on folding screen tech, don't think they last long enough to make up for the insane price of such a device. But that aside, this type of folding screen makes the most sense to me compared to doing it the other way. Having it folding up and down instead of left and right looks like a much easier sell to people at this point. The other devices are basically taking something that folds open to be more like a tablet, this just takes the shape everyone's already used to and folds it in a more familiar way.

    Sweat shops of Cupertino, think they are located actually in China, not Cupertino. Employees can always buy shares which just keep going up, and up, and up in value and pretty sure if work in Cupertino you are on good wages.

  36. Apple reports Q1 2020 revenue of $91.8 billion

    AAPL generates $1B USD daily in revenue (and $283MM USD daily in profit). That's more than many countries' GDP per year! If that's not "printing money" then I'm not sure what is. By contrast, the US Govt overspends $2.74B USD daily.

    Me too, with pretty much all new Apple devices. Sure was a lot of money to spend. But, it's not even 0.0001%. Makes me seem I have failed in some way.

  40. It is illegal to force a private company to work for free. at the federal level? what law are you referring to At any level. That’s called slave labor. so you arent able to cite the specific law you mentioned? Look at the spreadsheet in this article ... it list the relevant U.S.C. code (s) allowing for reimbursement for each legal process.

    i really liked the previous three (Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000) as well. i think those are all really special, especially in their own ways.

  47. Of course no one is surprised. Unfortunately they happen to have the best search engine, the second best (apparently, not sure I believe it) is bing and in comparison I would actually class bing as entirely useless. Clearly google knows this, so they have free reign to so whatever. I ditched Google as a search engine more than a year ago for Bing. Turns out, it's good enough. DuckDuckGo being my second alternative and only if all else fails I check Google - and more often than not, in those cases, not even Google is worth a damn. Yeah I use a combo of DDG or Bing. #GoogleFree
