What is better: a 14" or a 16" MacBook Pro? I can't decide. It's unironically too difficult to decide. On one hand, I would prefer the larger display, on the other hand I use my laptop exclusively when I can't use my PC to do something, which means I need a laptop for use around the house and carry it outside first and foremost. I absolutely do not want to use an external monitor almost ever though.

Did something happen a few days ago that deleted all passwords from Microsoft Edge? I just realized today that all my passwords were gone. This had to have happened within two days or so.

It's not overdriven and it never gets hot.
One of the big problems with LED bulbs is precisely that they are bulbs, the legacy form factor is unsuited for the technology.
You should upgrade your lamps if possible - new ceiling lamps for LEDs have an opening above the bulb for ventilation.
>>
>>107855589
Manufacturer logic is driving LEDs 5x harder for an extra 10% light output, instead of just adding another few LEDs and running everything cool and efficient.
There's no reason modern LED bulbs couldn't last decades other than greed.

No they don't. I mean, they've collected the information that they could use to figure it out if you became a person of interest, but they don't just "know" anything. Do you have any idea how much information our intelligence apparatus has to process? They don't care about you, they don't know you exist, you are not a victim of anything. You weigh 400lb and have a large CP collection on your Arch Linux install, and as a result you are understandably paranoid.

I can't help but feel 99% of the people that DO use them are sad sacks trying to grift onn youtube and think they need to overedit video in 4K because somehow they will get likes and subscibes if people can see their zits more easily and becaus ethey are retarded and are basically tech illiterates they just buy thing that is expensive becaus eother retards on youtube said so.

I fucking hate IT work now but I actually had a recuiter call me last week truing to hardsell me some cunty contract and you know what it was? Some 1000+ staffed company that wanted to get rid of office 365 and go back to office 2010 via RDS becaus etheir CEO had thrown a rage fit and fired their admin because all their excel and SQL garbage had stopped working again.

You say you don't care about playing new games on high settings and I'm happy for you but pretending that you don't understand why other people would just makes you look like an idiot. If you're content playing 10 year old games and have no use for high end hardware then that's fine but writing multiple novels of pure seethe in this thread over the choices other people make is bizarre.

I'm sorry you've lost the ability to find enjoyment in new things.
