Around 2018 I used a Mac at work and a Dell XPS at home and I had zero issues with the trackpad on the Dell. It was a bit smaller than the Mac's, but I actually preferred that because it was so large I'd sometimes move the mouse accidentally. Back then I thought PCs had finally caught up with Mac trackpads, but was extremely disappointed when the next XPS had one of those trackpads that is just integrated with the laptop cover (it's like a touchscreen instead of a pad inside a cut-off, if that makes sense). My guess is they changed for the aesthetics, but it was so bad that I returned it. I haven't used a good trackpad on a Linux PC since that Dell.

Well see how it goes, but announcing the game without showing anything doesn't look like a good start to me.

The world police was never really there to stop tyrants, the evidence is that they'd conveniently look the other way whenever they benefitted from it, and they would even put tyrants in place when it suited them. They did stop some tyrants, for sure, but only when it was convenient.

The world saw it's greatest peace under US hegemony. It wasn't perfect and there were bloody avoidable wars on the behest of the US, but by and large things ran smoothly and US sponsored globalism brought prosperity and peace to many.

I think it's too early to make that call, considering pax romana lasted 200 years and we're not even a 100 into us hegemony.

Too early to make what call? Pax Americana could end tomorrow and it wouldn't make the statement false (well, it would if whatever followed was even more peaceful).

Makes IBM look really bad. Do they also force people to bow when the CEO of IBM enters the room, and address them as sir or your highness?

They used to have their employees sign songs praising the company...

Granted, that was in the 1930s or something, but still.

I remember it being a part of the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley and thought it couldn’t be true. But apparently it was.

Wow, the truth is stranger than fiction.

In my last two phones I had to replace the battery 2 and 4 years in. One because it swelled, the other because it couldn't hold charge. Both cases I got a few extra years of usage from the phone. I'm in the EU, and I support this sort of regulation.

They're fourth now. Video games are first, then books, streaming, then cinema, and music after that. If I'm not mistaken.

One I can think of is that setting up your own company is a pain in the ass, and working as a contractor almost never worth it. I'm in Spain, but I think it applies to many Euro countries, which actually is another one, the exact laws and paperwork are entirely different for each country, though that's not something people actually reject, it's just the nature of having many countries with many different languages.

> setting up your own company is a pain in the ass,

Depends on the country. Here in the UK you can do it from a website, takes 20 minutes.

I responded to the person you're talking to, have a look at what I wrote.

I don't see the need for a note in this case because what was there wasn't wrong, there's plenty of evidence that supports it. It's just that the tone they used that was inadequate and very rude for no reason, so they edited it to be more polite, it doesn't seem a correction or retraction.
