I'll add that Microsoft Outlook calendar works really well. or $69/year, Microsoft will sell you an Office 365 account, Outlook email and calendar, all their apps on-line, two desktop-installable licenses for their Office Suite, and 1 TB of OneDrive storage. It's a great deal.

Re:Mazda is purging touchscreens from its vehicles

It's good strategy, too. Now the other manufacturers are at a disadvantage because people can claim that the cars are "defective" by having touch screens.
I think a touch screen would be OK if it didn't operate while the car was in Drive, so you can set preferences, etc, with a full keyboard. But you can also do this from a companion app or website, so there's really no need to have it at all.
And I'm really glad to see HUDs come to cars. I wonder why it took so long!

Sorry. It is a requirement for a male Jew. No other "method" is acceptable. For non-Jews, there's rarely a reason for it.
Any Jew who doesn't circumcise is operating outside the context of Judaism, and is doing something very non-Jewish.

I don't like the weaselly passive voice. And it's still not clear if a person who doesn't have the clout on social media can get attention.

Yeah, but this is largely moot now that monitors have "native resolutions" with fixed numbers of pixels.

The color graders here run 10-bit/color HDR monitors that have a wide gamut. Apple doesn't have monitors that support this. (The new one _might_ do the trick; we'll see.) Everyone here doing professional color work is on PCs supplied by Thinkmate. This is standard in Hollywood, too.
