Just to second that, the model series is Latitude, not Inspiron. and yeah, the i5 processor options I got over the years beat the i7 on processing power. The Precision models are a step up, but not any kind of low cost and seem not quite as tough.

Not at all. Trump is impervious to evidence.

Maybe if enough people file feedback on the name change they will reconsider. At least they will have a glut of feedback to deal with.

As you add more compute per user interaction ("smart" features), you increase power consumption. To keep an 18hour discharge cycle, you have to have more battery. Since phone thickness is a negative marketing feature but increased screen size is a positive marketing feature, you end up with bigger phones.

Every time they reduce compute power consumption, feature inflation overtakes the gain and more power is needed over time. Try turning on battery saver in the morning... even with "normal" use the battery will last significantly longer due to disabling background power consumption.

So optimistically assuming that Trump will follow through.

Cops without oversight end up veering off course. Things can get worse.

Never had that in the US AFAIK, but we used to have to pay by the SMS text.
