  1. It is worth it when you need one. You can always grab one only when you do need one. I personally cannot imagine any "urgent" use case where I would like to have a readily available drive laying around. I would just buy when one day I really need it.
  2. No products are perfect. If the user number grows large enough (which could mean the product is good), it is almost guaranteed that some unlucky people could get a defective one and drop a bad reveiw.
  3. Randomly place your App icons without needing to stick with top-left alignment.
  4. After rooting or installing custom ROM, you will lose access to Apps that check for SafetyNet, e.g. bank Apps, some games like Pokemon Go, etc. Some devices may have work around, but it could eventually break one day and Google keeps making it harder to work around. Plus there are even some Apps that implement their own checking method to avoid root and custom ROM so that there isn't a general way to work around. If you need thoses apps, stock ROM is the best bet.
  5. You can't call yourselves Apple if you are still providing reasonable IO ports on your laptops.
  6. I would like to see reflective display technology thrives in the future so that everyone's eyes are better protected.
  7. Try searching for the official spec of the hardware you are looking for. Latest Core i3 already has 4 cores, while Core i7 had 4 cores back in 3rd generation. while there is also difference in IPC, clock and hyper threading, 9th gen i3 is similar to 3rd gen i7 sounds legit.
  8. Are you just critizing the title of the video? I think the content of the video is exactly discussing "Yes it is illegal but why does microsoft just leave it usable and don't make it unusable in the first place?".
  9. The Pixel 3a has very good reputation, especially for its camera. Resolution doesn't mean everything to smartphone photography nowadays. Software post-processing is the important factor of good pictures and where Google really did a good job. Pixel 3a takes great photos. As long as you don't do heavy gaming on it, it is a great device.
  10. Sadly only iPhone fit the last point "I don't want to have to explain to people what my phone is". Many people don't even bother to treat "smartphone" or even "phone" as a thing, they just say iPhone all the time. Rant from a sole non-Apple user among iSheep friends.
  11. Get some nice looking clock/calendar/weather widgets and put them on your home screen.
  12. Fire up a hardware monitor software while gaming to see whether CPU usage or GPU usage is maxed out.
  13. Depends on whether your game is CPU-bound or GPU-bound, and also how well the game is optimized for multi-threading.
  14. I used to choose a childhood game or board game and try recreating it with HTML/CSS/Javascript. Spending days and months with many chrome tabs opening W3School. Just code and google whenever get stuck.
  15. Then get the S10+. That is the only difference between S10+ and Note10+. S10+ has a headphone jack without a pen. Note10+ has a pen without the headphone jack. Other factors are basically the same.
  16. FYI https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/9967/rog-phone-ii-list-of-games-supporting-above-60fps-gameplay#latest Personally I think daily scrolling benefit the most.
  17. I bought it because, before pixel 4 launch, it was the only NON-CHINESE brand phone that offer flagship grade processor and RAM, high refresh rate OLED screen, UFS 3.0, vapour chamber, in-display fingerprint scanner, notch-less design and big battery. Some bonus features I also found nice to have are dual front firing speaker, flat screen, air trigger (which can mimic pixel squeeze gesture), aesthetic (I quite like the rainbow reflective lines), side USB-C port (so that I can put it portrait on a phone stand while plugged in). Some drawbacks are no OIS, big and heavy, bad screen quality (Chinese OLED panel, not Samsung panel), though these are not deal-breakers for me. I would say it sure is great even for non-gamers.
  18. Number of people and working hours per person are not entirely interchangeable. It can be impossible to complete a certain task within a limited period of time even if you have infinite manpower.
  19. Because it makes too much sense for Apple to do right things.
  20. You really need a computer for coding. You will be setting up your development environment, installing different IDEs, dependencies, frameworks, tools, thousands of chrome tabs for referencing, etc...
  21. Even Apple somehow decided that built in VESA mounting holes are not possible, they could have split the price more nicely. Instead of $4999 for monitor + $199 for VESA adaptor, it could have been like $5139 for monitor + $59 for VESA adaptor. The monitor would be worth the price anyway even a few hundreds up, but $199 for a VESA adaptor alone looks so stupid.
  22. If this worked, VR headsets wouldn't be that bulky and wouldn't have those thick lenses. You have to make the image distance far away from your eyes so that you can focus on it normally.
  23. Non-tech guys believe "larger number is better" even across different manufacturers... That's the problem.
