I made sure all new computers at my work include Firefox. I also encourage staff to use adblockers.

I didn't know about the pinch gesture or the search, which I have been desperate for. Thanks!

This can also be learned later in life. As a teen I didn’t help much or complained and expected compensation for chores. When I joined the army you were expected to always pitch in, and there were no janitors, so you’re always cleaning and maintaining things yourself. Fast forward 25 years and I’ll be the first to volunteer to do dishes, will see a floor or vacuum without asking, and always willing to pitch in on a hard, physical task without hesitation.

The new MBA likely won't be announced until WWDC and come out shortly thereafter. It will also likely have design language that reflects the new iMac. Let that temper your decision making.

Is it US only?

At that rate you would burn through the whole set of tires in less than 50,000km, so how is it possible? Could it be those nubs on new tires are accounting for a majority of the waste up front?

I run a non-tech eCommerce site in North America that does $6-8m a year and I tested two 90 day periods year over year and found 12.4% of transactions didn’t show up in Google Analytics. I haven’t segmented them by geo yet but about 75% of my sales are in North America. There was only a 0.1% difference year over year.

Most greenhouses have ventilation windows, often using a wax piston to automatically open/close windows based on the temperature.

I feel that remote workers and telecomuting could account for some of the decrease. When jobs dried up in my town the tech savvy people got work 100km away in the nearest city but never changed addresses. You couldn't have done that 20 years ago.
