The comparison stands up for a comparison with high end 50 year tiled roofs.
Well, I just had my entire roof redone (wood beams and planks and everything) for 4500â, and that does indeed include a 50 year warranty on the clay tiles, which basically translates into "change everything again after 75-100 years".
So that's $5000 for 100 years.
Ok, I read the other comments, and verified [image.ibb.co] that Google search still pushes Chrome. It just remembers if you say no (or it won't ask if you already have it).
Unfortunately, it does not remember forever. Just for a short period of time. Then it will spam you again to get Chrome, and it does that SEPARATELY on every Google site. Gmail, Maps, I even saw it on YouTube once.
Are negative cash balances not usually a thing where you live?
Half my country is "in the red", their bank accounts are well below 0.
One of my Win10 computers is a 1.8 GHz Core2Duo with a regular HDD. Bought it in 2006 or early 2007.
The start menu comes up instantly.
It's not improbable. It's just not true.
The start menu in Windows 10 comes up instantly. I have it on three computers, and just for good measure, I talked to three of my coworkers (one has a corporate install, the two installed it on their own; perks of working in IT).
Guess what?
The start menu in Windows 10 comes up instantly. Just like I said.
There is no need for you to lie.
In the Anniversary Update they REMOVED the ability to use a keyboard to navigate the leftmost column with Power, Settings, File Explorer, and the user icon.
No. Just press Tab.
Altavista + Alibaba = Altaba
If I visit Google, or Gmail, or Gmaps, YouTube, or anything else, with a non-Chrome browser, the top of the screen will ALWAYS have "do you want to install Chrome?" nagware. You can dismiss it in your session scope, but next time you come back, so does the message.
Why is that not a problem, and what Microsoft does is a problem?
Is it better on battery tests? Yeah, it is. Is it safer? It very well might be - but we don't know, since we're all running ad-blockers on non-Edge browsers, so our experiences are anecdotal at best.
A single clay roof tile costs the equivalent of $0.5 where I live. It's good for half a century, no problem.
I have 5 places that produce clay building bricks and clay roof tiles in a radius of 150 km to choose from.
Transportation is cheap, and even if some tiles/bricks break in transport, they're so cheap that... well, nobody cares if there's a 1% loss in material.
The US developers, though only a year or two out of college, easily outperform even the "mid-level" developers from India. The price our company pays for Indian developers is about 1/3 the cost of US developers, but so far, we have not been able to make the math work. Even 3 Indian devs cannot produce the same quantity and quality of output as a single junior US developer.
If you're paying the Indian developers 1/3 the money you pay US developers, why not simply hire European developers for the same cost...?
I'm looking forward to seeing what images are captured from the edge of the visible universe.
Just some tentacles... and darkness.
A quick search [eia.gov] shows that the average household electricity usage is about 10K kWh per year (900-ish per month), ranging from 14K in Louisiana to 6K in Hawaii.
How?
That's 30 kWh per day in the worst case, and 17 kWh daily in Hawaii.
What do you spend all that electricity on?
I honestly don't understand.
Europe is at a rough average of 3K kWh per year across its countries, and that's driven up by a lot of electrical heating (which Europe requires a lot more of than Hawaii).
My US/Russian keyboard laptop has [ next to P, as does a UK, Italian, Croatian, Czech, Slovak and Spanish keyboard. Latin American has it next to Ã'.
Not really.
"[" may be *originally printed* on the key as the main character (and then further decorated with a sticker for the local key), but that's not where it really is, unless you switch to English layout.
Want to send Ctrl+[ ?
Not going to work if [ is AltGr+F in the first place, and AltGr is Ctrl+Alt together.
7-Zip has no recovery options. If you're doing backups, but note testing them (which is a classic home scenario), RAR and it's extra recovery data can save you.
All Facebook has to do is put up a wall if you're running an ad-blocker that says "You must disable your ad blocker to view this site."
This is now illegal in the EU, by the way. Sites aren't allowed to detect if someone's running an ad blocker.
