Ahh ... The Verge, the epitome of tech analysis. Why isn't this submission flagged?

This 'on-paper' build should also mention the massive PITA from software updates when an OS update hoses your installation to a point where it won't even boot. Updating macOS on Hackintoshes is like playing with fire.

What weird is that my kids are watching these channels and the ads playing on the iPads are Nicorette and car ads. To make things weirder, they use my Google account (I never smoked, nor do I visit any car sites or watch car videos).

Good job Google! Great ad targeting!

So like 99% of politicians?

For me it's alcohol.

8700K is mainstream like Ryzen. ThreadRipper and Intel X299 are high end workstation chips.

When you buy your processor, make sure it's built after week 25. On the processor you see something like UA 17??xyz

?? being the week number and xyz 3 letters like PGT or SUS. If the week number > 25, you are fine.

Exactly. Someone please invent a particle sized violin so we can play them.

Today I learned: Adobe has a security team.

This implies that there is such a thing as 'free will'.

Motorola 2.0?

I stopped reading at "has caused Microsoft to develop operating systems that people wanted".

- Telemetry.

- Candy Crush.

- Updates crammed down my throat.

- ReFS removed from W10 Pro.

- Still an OS that doesn't know if it's for touch or keyboard/mouse. The information density on Settings app for example is laughable on a 27 inch monitor.

- Every major update used to reset search/privacy settings.

But yeah, it's what people wanted.

OP complains about MacBook Pro and needing 32 GB of RAM yet he accepts a 720p screen because it's good for writing/Vim never mentioning why he needs 32 GB of RAM.

CNN article fails to mention that tanker is an icebreaker.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/aug/24/russian-...

"On its maiden voyage, the innovative tanker used its integral icebreaker to cross ice fields 1.2m thick"

The CPU guy from Ars Technica was extremely good as well.

Do you think it's a bit extreme when you need to write books to explain product licensing?

Got a Linux client?

Clickbait.

Startup dreams involves stealing trade secrets?

You can't fix a business/greed problem with technology.

Google did some tests/research/study a few years back and they noticed that hard drives fail around 40% of the time without showing any signs with SMART attributes.

EDIT: Ok, few years = 10. http://storagemojo.com/2007/02/19/googles-disk-failure-exper...

Same for me. Built my first PC in ages, 8 core Ryzen, 32 Gigs of RAM, NVME SSD, 1060 GTX, all below 2000$. Running Ubuntu on it for now, works very well.

And people are surprised by this?

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuck: Just ask.

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don't know why.

Zuck: They "trust me"

Zuck: Dumb fucks.

Hyperbole much?

Sounds similar to big.LITTLE where by big are Intel cores for performance and power nap and maybe in the future less power intensive tasks are handled by LITTLE (ARM part).

It can be turned off. Not in Windows, only toned down a bit.

I wonder what MS employees think when every week a new tool pops up disabling data mining in their OS.
