I listened to this kind of preaching and got myself a Lenovo ThinkCentre with Ryzen 5. What everyone forgets to mention is that these are loud. Fans are small and they spin fast. And fanless used mini pc market is kind of dry.

On what is based your claim that it is impossible to foster brand loyalty on Android side? Maybe there is a reason that there is no brand loyalty on Android side, a reason that maybe those brands created themselves after seeking instant profits above anything else. Not one android phone manufacturer tried to cultivate long term relations with their customers for any reasonable amount of time. A lot of customers tried variety of android phones exactly for that reason, to find a brand that would not let you down and yet very quicly all promises were broken.

Thanks, this didn't even occur to me.

I'm not sure what do you mean by saying "no phone support"? Fastmail has apps for Android and iOS. I use iOS one and it's quite alright.

Did I not understand you statement correctly? Like did you mean that you cannot set it up with other mail apps on the phone?

Well that is simply not true. It will work, you'll have lower resolution and detailed map, but sim will certainly work.

-edit: should have refreshed before commenting :)

Disclaimer: I'm from Lithuania, little eastern Europe country.

There has been a lot of talk about eastern Europe being a junkyard for german cars (or old european cars in general) in recents times, not the least locally, especially by politicians trying to justify weird decisions. Most of the time one vital factor remains overlooked, people don't have money for anything else here. German cars are valued by most the people, whether that is deserved or not is a different question. There are plenty of mechanic shops for repairing those cars and cars itself are cheap. Public transport is mostly horrible, so a car is a must for most people. If a family has a budget of ~€1500 per month, how can you realistically choose anything else but an old imported car from western Europe (majority from germany).

While I bet they work brilliantly for the driver of the car, for the oncoming traffic it's really annoying. It leaves light spots in my eyes every time I drive in the night and encounter cars with such headlights, as it doesn't deactivate those 'pixels' quick enough for me not to notice. Overall it might be an improvement, but it depends on your situation.

As for extra light at road signs, I believe I've read somewhere that newish signs have ability to reflect near ultraviolet as visible light, and this makes them extra reflective for headlights with ultraviolet range, more so then what you would expect for the given visible light that you see. Although I'm no expert in this and not sure if that actually the reason for why some signs popout so much.

Likely an issue with start menu search. I had it a year or two ago, when I first installed Win 10, start menu search couldn't find anything. I can't remember details since it was a while ago, but I just searched the web to find the culprit.

Now since I have fixed the issue, I can search any application installed and get it in moments. Try and see if maybe you also have an issue with search itself.

What I fail to understand so far is the pricing of the news. Do newspapers really earn tens of dollars/pounds/euros per month per user? I want to pay for the news, but any website I like charges a 2 digit numbers per month, and that is when you subscribe for a year. The way I see it, I should be able to pay them for ads I wont see, maybe some collateral, but current pricing in my mind doesn't reflect reality. What am I missing in this picture? Please help me understand.

Javascript OFF and zdnet link works just fine.

But one Thursday I don't pre-order, and I'm actively doing other stuff, maybe outside, phone slippery, need to check something and damn it... clicked on that suggestion, now have to wait to get to what I actually intended.

Just my experience with android.

~20sec music play and then followed pause. Just not sure what to say about that. Even the guy narrating gets confused and almost clicks for the second time to start the music. Then followed menu selection, not as slow, but still noticeable slowness in response. Later one when he clicks other buttons action follow much more rapidly, which indicates to me a weak processor.
