How do the local backups work? I’m interested in defacing my profile, but still want to preserve some things I find useful.

I agree about the “everything in one place”; besides that, in terms of shopping, there’s not much to it. In terms of services there used to be some pretty neat stuff, e.g. unlimited cloud storage for photos (including RAW files) for something like 50 EUR/year, but of course they axed that.

Plenty of alternatives for everything, just maybe a little less convenient.

In terms of media, I don’t stream from paid services; whatever I pay for is either at local shows where I buy CDs from artists directly, or through label stores, or through outlets like Bandcamp (btw it’s Bandcamp Friday right now until the end of the weekend, go support what you like).

Can’t remember the last time I bought something from there to begin with.

I remember that term. It was short-lived.

You have to also consider that when 5" was big, bezels were big too. With today’s thin bezels the same physical size that used to hold 5" could probably hold 5.5".

Because apparently people want big phones.

For the last 10-15 years it’s been a boiling frog situation really - .1 or .2" increase every generation until 7" somehow becomes the norm (for a phone, not a tablet, mind you).

I wish there were more small hi-end phones too.

Politics aside, I’d be curious to see how far something like this can go. Can’t not think of Opera Software - even they were not successful while they were using their own proprietary tech.

Can someone explain how something as generic as a keyboard can be a subject to patents?

That means the tip goes to the customer, right?

TIL! Thanks!

I don’t care about it, but I get the idea - if even one percent likes it enough to buy a subscription, it’s a win for Microsoft. After all this is what Microsoft does - selling subscriptions.

While I’m not saying it’s perfect, I still think it’s aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.

Probably depends on whether they see a difference between intentional and unintentional satire.

A sports piece of clothing or equipment is functional with or without the flashy branding; a piece of merch however is not (especially if it’s just decorative - like a pin, a sew-on patch or something like that).

Same sentiment here - but with the exception of band t-shirts and other merchandise - where in most cases you do want to show your support for the artist.

Unfortunately “punish them by not buying it” won’t work for someone as big as them.
