At some point in time I felt the need to make an anonymous Github account. It's quite annoying to know that people can google your name and see what you did in the last few years.

I like those pictures. They only show the two hands that are holding the device. The third hand touching the screen is missing.

Or maybe if Intel wasn't a monopoly AMD could've solved the heat issues better and faster. It's hard to play fair and win when the other one is cheating.

That even today many European languages don't even have a basic dictionary. I'm not talking about the "guess the next word" feature. All I want is a dictionary that could suggest a correction to a misspelled word.
Use two languages at once? No way! I guess they need to invent a new chip or something.
Swipe to type? Hehe.
The keyboard in itself is fast and good but it lacks features.

Not really in my experience. I live in a country that buys old cars from the rich. We have many "ohh, my lungs" cars here.
The same with appliances. People are too poor to buy A+++ electronics.
If you meant poor enough so I go hunting... then yes.

You only have the current benefits because some sort of union fought for them. Call it government, call it whatever but it was an organization fighting on your behalf.
> beyond that their ability to effect change pretty much stops there.
Is that true? You can't negotiate even further by yourself? I think you do.

Well, maybe. But I've learned that you can't take money out of "it". Even in places that strive to do so. If we could we could actually reach some utopia. Communism would become highly desirable.

My simplistic approach to credit: it allows people to buy stuff they can't afford but it drives prices up artificially. Lots of things would be cheaper if people couldn't afford to "produce" money.

Most big companies don't really care. And that's because they don't have a single person with the power to say 'stop'.
In a long chain of managers the manager above will only hear "there was an issue and it's fixed". The upper manager doesn't really have the time and the will to dig into the details.
