ahh the notch sensitive cohort.. i never understood the massive focus on removing the notch on smartphones.. it's of trivial significance to millions of ppl I would assume

This laptop has a 4:3 display!?

Hmm so their schema contains both camelCase and snake_case ? ewww

Apple's service network, via physical stores can not be beat!

I had an issue with my Samsung smart phone at one point. However, I couldn't part with the phone for x number of weeks, to send it in, for an assessment.

After that, I realized ease of support on iPhone was the biggest differentiator between Apple and other brands

what does your point got to do with my argument - How the cited example of rasp-pi is not a strong argument for usefulness of ads

windows blows.. I only use it for gaming.

rasppi is a niche product. There will never be mass consumer appeal. Just like how you don't see advertisement for Ergodox keyboards. Even if they spent money on ad campaign, it will likely not move the revenue needle

it's like they just don't care.

Why can't you have image inline with text? I hate to waste energy to refer to attached images in my text ("regarding the 2nd image")

It sucks in that you can't edit the image attached to a message. Only text..

WTH? Why not?

what a sigh of relieve.

It's a really refreshing feeling to know, that channel of communication is not available for anyone in my company.

it's like a veil has been lifted off my eyes

That is true on macos. I'm being prompted for any consequential actions.

In Windows 10 + 11, that prompt does not exist, if you are signed in with the admin account.

windows 10 + 11 is such a mess.

It's just a pretty skin on top of the same Windows NT Window chrome. The modern UI skin is baked in with a bunch of none-sensical UX decisions.

I also hate how Windows' happy-path setup, does not encourage use to create and operate with a low privileged local account. Instead, if you click through the setup process, you end up running the OS w/ an admin level account.

>It was never meant for image compression.

It was image compression. You "reduce" the file size of the images by using an algorithmic approach to reduce the color palette, while achieving as much as the OG image quality as possible.

It's 2021. Who is still using dithering? How did this article even make it to HN?

I recall dithering being heavily used in the days of very finite color palettes - BMP, GIF16 etc..
