I think they comparing browsers with default configuration. I'm sure Firefox with some addons and extra features enabled passes more tests.

When did you get your first Covid vaccine?

What do you do in your spare time?

The artists should give the money back to the museum but since they made a lot of money thanks to the publicity they should hire him again and pay him $100.000 for the next project.

I tried climbing Ojos del Salado (6,893 m / 22,615 ft) but only got to about 6.300 m. We spend around 10 days acclimatizing staring at ~3.500m and staying at various shelters at progressively higher altitudes. On 2 days I felt like shit (hangover like symptoms), rest of the days I was weak but it was manageable. Before the attack day I barely slept (I was tired, stressed and in a tent with people snoring). During attack it was really cold (like even with all the high altitude gear) and going up was super difficult. The worst part is that going down is also really hard so you have to calculate you strength for both ways of the trip but it really hard to judge how much more can you take. Half of the group resigned after first hour or two. The rest resigned when it became clear the weather is not improving and it will not be possible to get to the top.

Three days later I climbed Pico Vallecito (17831 ft / 5435 m). I used acclimatization from the failed attempt and just hiked to the top alone. It was quite hard, especially above 5000m I was moving slower than I expected. I wasn't very tired but I just didn't have energy to move at normal speed. Going down was easy so I made it down on time after all.

Bags of wine?

Typical selection at my supermarket.

This is kind of a weird argument. You can’t choose which keyboard you get with any laptop.

But with PC I can just choose a different brand. It's super easy to switch.

I also have some really old Dell laptop and I used many Lenovo laptops that worked perfectly after 5-10 years. I agree that Apple's design (like visually) is on another level but when it comes to how long they last compared to other professional laptops I would say it's normal. The repairability is definitely not great. And for me it's really frustrating that you just have to blindly accept all Apple's 'brave' design decisions like dropping ports. I've seen Apple users running around the office with dongles since forever. I'm not saying the design is bad or the laptops are poor quality. I'm just saying IMHO it's not all that better than other professional laptops. Some things are nice (weight, screen bezel, performance), other things are bad (repairability, port selection, keyboard).

It's a different story with phones. Most Android makers suck when it comes to long term support.

But they make incredible hardware,

But do they though? I get it that those are mostly nicely designed, sleek devices with great performance but then you have fuckups like the terrible keyboard and the touch bar (by fuckup I mean that people criticized the idea from the start and were proven right by Apple dropping it after few models). For me the hardware is a hit and miss, some things are nice, some features are terrible. And with Apple you can't choose and pick like with PC. When they decide to try silly things like the touch bar you are stuck with them for years. You either don't upgrade or have to get a product with a feature you don't like.

Bad solar and wind potential.

There's no sun in Japan?

Oh, so you simply don't see any difference between VPS rented from a reputable company and just storing data in google's DB. Well, I assure you those are different. VPS provider does not scan all servers, extract all the certificates from them, setup a MITM to intercept decrypt and analyse the incoming traffick, scan all your DBs to extract your emails and than sell all this data to advertisers. But if you believe they do than yes, renting VPS offers no benefits.

None? I explained that the benefit is I'm not using a 'free', public service that scans my data. If you didn't get this very simple, clearly stated benefit than yes, this is a dead end.

Because it's easier, more practical and cheaper.
