I use wireless charging exclusively for this reason. Of course that won't work if you need to plug in a device directly.

is companies forcing us to buy new hardware by invalidating software.

of all companies. Google search and boeing being prime examples.

If you call American airlines they farm their booking and call center to some Indian call center, I needed a reroute and they hung up on me several times. I had to buy my own ticket. A chat bot would be much welcome because all least it would be friendly and I wouldn't get hung up or cursed at. Yeah I wouldn't get the tickets either way.

The search sucks, they could care less about serving customers and only care about money. Prime Google was 10 years ago. They are turning into a dinosaur company where they can't maintain there own business model so they cut costs. I'm looking forward for someone else to make search decent again.

1) Lie
2) Make yourself famous
3) Profit

Yeah, we can reduce it, I try too. People want plastic gone, all of it.

Nobody's going to follow it. Modern life can't exist without plastic. But it sure feels good to talk about it and tell everyone you will do something about it.

Consumers don't, techies do. Have you ever tried to build Linux or load a 3d assembly that require more than 16GB of ram? It's a lot easier to spend a few hundred dollars then get a new few thousand dollars.

You are talking about less than grams here, I don't think adding a gram to a battery is going to significantly increase the performance.

Or we could just go back to emailing and support to restart our passwords

Laptop makers are trying to find reasons to make you purchase new hardware, what better way to do this than to undersize hardware?

I'm fine with putting the fan on the mobo, can the laptop makers be kind and put a socket on the board? It's like an extra dollar, yeah the design costs more time because the routing and timing are harder. If really appreciate it.

Not when the system admins force you to do 5 rounds of captchas, and you can't solve them fast either or it will give you more.

Most Americans "go to work" for the alloted time, but half of that is sitting on the toilet, browsing the web and talking with co-workers. I guess if you work for amazon then that isn't the case because they won't let you go to the bathroom for more then X amount of minutes so Jeff can get another yacht. So just the amount working doesn't count. I know eastern europeans (generally) work harder than Americans

against recaptcha. It's useless and the site admins always turn it all the way up so you have to solve it for 2 minutes straight. I'll bet this is wasting millions of dollars worldwide. Putting recaptchas on your website is a good way to piss off customers. For some reason lately you can even solve them correctly, you can go through several rounds and not even get anywhere with it. In addition AI can solve them better than humans, so essentially you area locking out the humans and letting the bots through.

Let me ask you a question, would it be acceptable to put a 1-2 minute timer on your website just to waste people's time? because that's what recaptchas do.
