You may have to consider a projector.

Been using my Grado RS2 headphones for around 18 years. Their repair service is excellent! Also I expect each Grado headphone to have a overall lower carbon footprint.

I did notice the Apple website does not list the Frequency Response specs.

I use the markdown editor http://typora.io/ for a few years now.

It's a downloadable client and for on Windows, Linux & OS X

All companies do this!

Purchase data from multiple sources with the intention of connecting more dots. It helps them get around most of the data is anonymous.

I use a few browsers:

Opera for when running my laptop on battery Vivaldi when in the office.

Now, I've ditched Vivaldi and sticking with Opera & Firefox.

I suspect someone will create a Firefox Addon to auto-detect we running on batteries and throttle back on the performance settings.

The new style keyboards from Apple are terrible.

I have a 2017 MBP and their BT external keyboard (provided by work) and it is noisy, it's like having a mechanical keyboard...clack....clack....clack...

Its just so difficult to type silently, unlike their previous keyboards.

One issue:

Big business have got drunk on low interest rates and corp. debt so cheap, making it very good for big business but negative for the majority of the worlds population.

So they like to see interest rates to remain very low, and have leverage with governments saying their business it at serious risk if interest rates were to return to 'more sensible levels'. Which is kinda true!

Also:

People with sufficient savings or disposable income have choose one of the few obvious/easy investment options and buy into property, either upgrading or buying more properties.

The wealthy who have access to good financial tools have also invested into property, both commercial and residential. Hence so many empty properties in London, that people complain about.

Driving up the price, so further squeezing the population who are not able to follow.

Hence the rise of Trump and others, promising to make America great again, cuz so many voters are being squeezed.

Low interest rates is like a drug addiction, but the addicts (big business) are not the ones suffering.

Hence the rise of popularism and the likes of Trump into powerful positions, but he is sitting on the side for businesses and not the person. He incorrectly believes recovery can only be found with big business, but I believe this just perpetuates the addiction.

Interest rates need to rise (ouch!) and companies must be forced to pay the taxes they owe. Also giving individuals with big investments (risks) into property to exit gracefully without the property market crashing, which hurts everyone.

'If you can't dazzle them with dexterity baffle the with bullshit.'

Something you should remind yourself to avoid when talking with people.

Also 'people have a habit of believing their own bullshit'.

Also good to remind yourself to keep yourself in-check.

The risk is how do you keep up with people who will happily do both.

I think its a case of parents kinda seeing they're getting ripped off over some of their prices.

New Millennium Falcon is Lego’s biggest set ever = $799.99

And maybe games like Minecraft have a more cost effective block building experience.

I built a Dual CPU Pentium PC PC to run BeOS, I still have the original SKU box and polo-shirt somewhere. An excellent experiment in building a new OS from scratch.

BeFS was a wonderful experience, it showed what could be achieved if you were not held back by legacy code.

Back in the real world, Apple made the correct choice in not buying BeOS.

Go and read "Weapons of Math Destruction" by Cathy O’Neil.

This has an excellent chapter of the use of ATS software the majority of recruiters use these days.

If you stay logged in on FaceBook and browse & search other sites they know. Only login when you need it the service, then logout and delete cookies.

I gave up on Atom when I found MS Visual Code, for this very reason.

No problem connecting from the UK

I still have issues with a VPN provider who insists on using their VPN client.

No EULA or privacy statement on the website. Usually with these free services there is something in about using your data for profit.

www.grammarly.com does quite a good job.

This is only a rumour, I would wait for some photos to appear to confirm this.

Anyone got any recent images now people have started moving in?

Only when something new comes along and replaces it.

FeedBin and constantly updating the feeds (adding and removing) when I come across an interesting feed.

I only visit actually websites if I really need to.

So spend most of the time in FeedBin.

What RSS feed I have is my competitive advantage!
