I still bought a Mac, just not a used one. A reliable machine so far, can't say the same about the charger cord. Perhaps the used prices are propped up by a high number of units dying.
And from a manufacturing/engineering point-of-view (which I am neither), I guess it's really hard to solve this problem. You have some unpredictable 1/100 or 1/1000 defect that occurs long after production and sale.…
Anecdotally confirming. When shopping around for the past 10 years, I've usually bought used PCs and used parts, both desktops and laptops, but after deciding to try out a Mac in early 2012, buying used just didn't seem…
Is it common to have your replacement/repair refused unless you bring up the "reklamationstiden" argument?
I recall some years ago (7?), some other mac having some characteristic issue that could almost always be fixed with a little time in the oven. Having a kitchen with an oven and living in a student area where Apple…
Yep, this is the kind of thing I want too. A few scenarios (assuming that one person is living in a particular place): I want the thermostat (with knowledge of outside temperature and winds) to know that my HVAC can…
I can imagine a previously smooth road now in around-the-clock gridlock with pedestrians jay-walking with impunity.
I see this as an ongoing model/strategy for grocery stores and other retailers: Taking the Amazon approach where they're just distributors, and you pay for the shelf space, and a fee per transaction. The…
Schedule/stagger the deliveries so you have a person/group that does the unloading work for an entire plaza or area?
I'll bet they'll never attribute the value to Youtube that comes from being able to better target ads off-Youtube based on your Youtube views. Youtube might lose on paper, but generate more value in total for Google…
And of course, the video for the song, which might explain its choice: Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S43IwBF0uM
