presumably because it doesn’t recognize my keyboard type??

The answer by Apple (and their parroting fanbois): You don’t actually need those keys. It’s confusing for users to have too many characters.

Exactly. And then they complain when you obsess about this book series and don’t react to conversation attempts.

Almost everyone there speaks English and very well. Never had any problem communicating.

I didn’t mean they only last 2 years but battery degradation is a pretty common and known thing.

By a quick search I didn’t find any claim of storage battery lifetimes outside of 10-15 years, so there doesn’t seem to be a breakthrough in tech I wasn’t aware of. 15 years is hardly the lifetime of a house, so you certainly don’t “buy only once”.

Solar panels also don’t work indefinitely but their efficiency degradation is more on par with the lifetime of major parts of the building, like the roof itself.

What? Have you ever had a battery powered device for longer than 2 years?

Thought the same. Trivial questions are asked and answered all the time (more trivial than this one too, where the question to enter into Google isn’t even that obvious). When it comes to politically loaded topics people always like to swing the downvote hammer.

Get on your own lawn: touch ~/grass

I believe it’s similar to road rage. You are very restricted in your way of communicating and cannot read the other’s emotions at all. That means you have to interpret a lot more and that is done in your own state of mind, meaning you can easily take offence where non was meant and the other has no chance to de-escalate as they would in face-to-face communication.

Ignoring trolls and actual assholes, that kind of misinterpretation happens so easily, I’ve often seen it among friends (via chat) and my own mother raged about an email I sent her (which was then de-escalated by a single sentence in a phone call). That’s also the reason, sarcasm works so poorly online.

I think it was always shit, you and your taste buds just grew up.

At the time I ate lots of fast-food I also liked to drink lots of soda and ice tea, like 2 liters in one sitting when hung over. Now I puke a little in my mouth just thinking of that garbage.

What about loans against assets like houses? I wouldn’t consider simple house owners necessarily rich and they should be able to get a mortgage without penalty.

Scam and speculation are the only use cases after all.

Of course it’ll crash. Saying it’s imminent though suggests someone needs to exercise their shorts.

Gotcha. We’re almost twice as many.

Longer ago than the others though. And there hasn’t been a single version of Windows that didn’t make me bite my desk. Windows 95 jammed itself up so often that my friends and I kept a fresh install in a separate directory to at least skip installation when setting it up from scratch.
