"However, in my short few days of testing, using the smaller Pixel, I never approached the 13 hours or so Google claimed for most activities...Google couldn’t explain my results."

I'd wait on the full picture about battery life. It seems Android is still plagued with inconsistent and unknown battery life issues.

Which is nice because it will need to repaired often (bootloops suck)

They compete on different continents. Doubt it will have much affect at all.

I keep it on at all times so I don't have to enable\disable it each time I enter exit my car.

The editor in SSMS can do everything pgcli can do and more.

We can rehash all the same old arguments from the 90s and 00s about command line vs gui but that would not be productive. If you want to interact with mssql using the command line, use sqlcmd

SQL Server Management Studio is light years ahead of any pgsql management tool

just use "preview 5"

Not everything needs to be sanitized to protect the delicate sensibilities of America's boardroom.

I think the reason for the 60% limit is to "motivate" users to do the exchange, not to prevent the failure.

> We contacted them several times hoping

I keep seeing this. Last time it was someone trying to get a different outcome from Apple.

The products in question all have serial numbers and tie into a database that reps all have access to making it simple to re-deny an already denied claim. Do people ever have success talking to multiple reps?

> Why would they want to alienate us?

I would imagine that most of apple's customers are not developers.

I think you are way off base. The user in question would clearly be using facetime :)

We got lucky. They just renamed it instead of creating a new suite with their redundant apps. Gmail\Inbox, Hangouts\Allo, etc.

My source is the last 18-24 months. Every month for the last two years, someone has said "new macs are coming!"

How many hours of your life were spent at the genius bar?

People have been saying "next month" for the last 18-24 months.

No. They do what you do: Leave the site and go somewhere else.

uBlock orgin

If a man said that he deserved a job over a woman on the basis of gender, it would be sexist (and wrong). The reverse is also true.

> blind luck

He has been successful in business and is now at the helm of one of the most powerful political parties in the known universe. No one has that kind of "luck". There is something more there.

Apple is not reading this. you should find a way to submit to the "official" channel

contact them and ask why

I think it is less about paying than understanding what it is actually doing with your files. I know a few reasonably intelligent people who could not tell you what their paid iCloud is

Apple did create a nice little automatic revenue generator. It forces you to pay apple, disabled backups (with scary delete messages), or trying to navigate the backup interface to cull things to stay withing the 5 gb limit.

All I ever saw was "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough storage".

Language changes and is fluid. You are witnessing a change from one common vernacular to another. Bricked = made useless, some people could probably figure out how to fix it.

or not

key word: under warranty

Those who expect to use their iPhones more than 12 months are getting shafted

Have you ever taken a support phone call? Many people won't read a simple error message, let alone a message that includes numbers and other "technical mumbo jumbo"

customer: I'm trying print and it just says "error"

me: It just says error?

customer: yes

me: Are there any other words or error numbers?

customer: yeah, it says "No printers are installed. Add a printer and try again"

me: facepalm

Their solution works because it communicates a lot while saying very little

Wouldn't the coin flip still apply to that situation? He is asking for "something" else to make the decision. Coin\App\Dart throw\etc all work
