I believe Apple is at the forefront of manufacturing devices that are readily recyclable.

Pretty sure System 76 will sell you some ugly box that you can fix and hold on to forever.

I personally prefer they continue to design for thinness and lightness vs. easy repairability, but to each their own.

And my point was that 4 years is completely acceptable amount of coverage. If you want to keep your computer longer, by all means, but you shouldn't expect repairs to be covered forever.

Four years seems like a reasonable amount of time to cover an issue. If it fails after that, it’s time to buy a new computer anyway.

I can't wait until prices come down for all this stuff. The future of entertainment sure does seem bright.
I personally think MacOS needs more love in the stability department than iOS, though.

It may be anecdotal, but the local retail malls have put up their holiday decorations earlier than ever before. Every pole wrapped and bows everywhere. Feels like they're trying to fight the good fight.

I did not. I don't foresee these two with a car in the $25k (after incentives) price range with semi-autonomous driving. And unlike the top level comment, I really want something fully electric (for the planet).

Haven't done serious research, just reading some reviews online and going to the car show. I think I read that the Odyssey rides more quietly.

I also like the 2018 Odyssey's visual refresh. Sienna hasn't changed in eons it feels like. Inside, I wasn't a fan of the second row seat tracks on the Sienna.

I have to agree completely. Autopilot is miles ahead. While I'm waiting for my 3 preorder, I took a test drive a Model S. I haven't felt as moved by a technology like Autopilot since I first swiped on the first iPhone.

Coincidentally, we're in the market for a 2018 Odyssey as our family car too.

Good luck. I'm planning on enrolling and working full time once my kids a little bit older.
From what I heard, this report only focuses on stores with a single location - so chains are not represented.

That is very inspiring. Thank you!

Every time someone is frustrated with Atom, we are obligated to suggest VS Code, because VS Code is actually pretty awesome.
I understand that signing it doesn't mean much. I signed. But it's a first step. Perhaps after that, you'll consider supporting/volunteering for the EFF or ACLU. It's a small action, but you have to stand for what you believe in.

I really enjoyed it except the knock of Pomodoro Timers. That one hits too close too home.
