when you have the Steam Machine coming ? ;D

In all seriousness, will the Xbox and PS "exclusives" be worth the extra money? For me, not so much. Especially for those who can only own a single device, I think something like the Steam Machine makes more sense simply because it's more capable (not necessarily in graphical performance, but it's an actual computer that you can do work on).

This is a bullshit project. It's not gonna happen.

Economists like Keynes thought shortened work weeks were just around the corner. The real reason we don't have them now is that the owner class wants to wring as much surplus value out of workers as possible for the least amount of money. Until that dynamic is rectified, we'll still see declining wages and a growing overworked precariate class.

If they do this, I will not use it. Just leave shit alone. We are already paying $1200+ for the iPhone. How much blood are you gonna squeeze from the rock?

At least Apple's button is configurable. I have mine set to toggle Ring/Silent.

The alert slider is infinitely more useful than an AI slider...whatever that will be. I'd rather control when I get disturbed than have AI slop shovelled down my throat

I didn't know FB allowed encrypted emails. Perhaps the usage was low because the deployment occurred in such a way that ensured its failure ?

if device makers stop supporting their devices after 2 years, and all devices do not get updates at the same time. I used Android all the way up till this year, and the support alone was worth the switch.

For the record, my Android phones were the OG Galaxy S, the Galaxy Note 3, the Galaxy S7, and the OnePlus 6T, all flagship devices.I think I got one full OS update once each, and then abandoned even for security updates. This was untenable for me.

Same... I got my first iDevices this year. I like the regular updates and support

This all day. A proper 'Fuck You' to Wright.

For the same reasons that we don't consider physics mathematics. While physics and CS use mathematical tools, their domains are not necessarily the same. At most, you could put some aspects of those subjects in "Applied Math" but just knowing math doesn't get you to physics or CS, and vice versa.

Apple is gonna dick people around with the Mac Pro just like they did with the Macbook Pro. They will take away ports and functionality and charge $4,000 dollars for it. I used to be an Apple fan but these last several years seems to show that Apple has given up on the desktop. I would rather they just sell licenses to OS X (or open source it)...their bread and butter are the iOS devices anyway.

OOOOh if only I had some mod points. One of my favorite corny sci-fi movies as a youngin. Look out for those Xan-do-Xans as well

I type

like a real man.

are centralized above and beyond efficiency in production, despite the fact that knowledge workers can be sent work digitally and we have high quality teleconferencing if you really need "facetime" (Fuck you, Apple!), they still wake up, put on office clothes, and commute on average 45 minutes to their workplace to do a job that can be done from anyplace in the world. It's about disciplining and control of labor by the bosses. They can make you work at the pace they want you to, regulate your movements, and make you abide to any other policies that they see fit. Hell, if they let them have some autonomy by letting them work at home, they might get the crazy idea to work on their own projects and go independent, taking away profits from Father Corporation that they deserve. Y'know...actually innovate!!!
