Re:Ask HN: Feasible Alternative to the MacBook Pro? on Monday October 21, 2019 @12:51AM (#21309431)
The better battery usage and wi-fi are some of the basic things that don't work out of the box even on a preinstalled ubuntu on XPS are real let down. These are the same problems I faced when I had used Linux laptops before, and so now happily settled with 15" mac pro since past 5 years - no issues whatsoever.
Re:Preserving Laptop Stickers on MacBooks on Friday July 12, 2019 @02:12AM (#20418645)
I had forgotten my laptop while going through security at the Detroit airport. So when loudspeaker announcements happened, I went back to collect the laptop. The security guy asked "Why type of laptop is it?" intending to check if it's really mine, I replied: "One with lots of stickers". "There you go" he said handing me my laptop that was inside a protective cover.

Re:India bans discriminatory pricing based on source/destination/app/c... on Monday February 08, 2016 @08:40AM (#11057990)
This was not about charging differently based on how much people have.

It was about charging differently based on WHAT you are using.

So, if I have much money, I can have my service freely for everyone, while this other startup, unless pays to internet providers, will be available over the paid internet.

Re:A LaTeX Resume Template that fits everything AND looks good on Wednesday April 30, 2014 @11:59AM (#7674192)
It really does hurt eyes. Came back immediately looking at that design. Could have used a little more white space, grouping relevant things together.

I do agree here. I do develop in India, and rarely i meet people with Mac. Most devs use linux and most html and UI guys go with windows.
