Yeeeeep


Keyboard without comma keys, perhaps?


Probably a MacBook Pro 2016-2017.


I dn't knw what yu're talking abut. I have a MacBk Pr and the keybard wrks just fine.


I was 100% prepared to buy an Essential until i found out it was just another mobile phone.


Downvoted for stating the obvious? $100 bazillion needs to be put in perspective.


Damn you, humourless down-voting Philistines.


The Philistines thing worked with the David+Goliath comment tree...not as much here.


It’s debatable whether it worked the first st time! But I am happy that to be guided.


Would you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News?


David got there first, I believe.


Damn you, down-voting Philistines.


I honestly dont get it. What kind of stone is Google listing?

Sorry just genuinely confused and search returned nothing on google stones ;(

You fell for the “Google knows everything” mantra…


It does, though :) googling "people who, in the face of giants, pick up the stone" returns a bunch of results on David and Goliath.


Oh, I thought it was a search for a new product, the Google Stone. Now that is a product I would buy.


Google Stone: No privacy worries. No recordings. Nothing evil. Just a rock made by Google.

I think it was a reference to David and Goliath.


It is a reference to the stone used to slay Goliath.


thanks!

PS. cant even ask a genuine question without being downvoted into oblivion; HN became just another reddit :(


No worries :)


> and its Android software is nearly identical to the stock version running on Google’s Pixel phones, giving it another unique sales proposition.

Is it just me?


Very few Android phones are not full of crappy manufacturer apps. Nexus, Pixel, OnePlus and apparently, Essential are the few exceptions.

So maybe not unique in the literal sense, but a differentiator anyway.


Also Nokia falls into this camp. Bought Nokia 6 for my wife and it seems to be working very nicely.


_When that USB drive is inserted into a Windows PC, without the user knowing it, that worm will quietly run itself, and copy itself to that PC._ Truly magical. Anthropomorphism and personification help continue the myth of sentient, usually evil, software. Whilst scaring the heebie jeebies out of everyone.


>"run itself"

I find that misconception worse!


Buy a book and take a course. It won’t be enjoyable but being examined on what you learn will provide focus. Find a small group of people doing the same or similar learning, so you can discuss the different problems each of you will have. Persevere and plan carefully. Otherwise you’ll waste time and energy. Don’t get sidetracked by great presentations and new tech from internet-based resources; remember what the objective is...


Fortunately


Unambiguous, non-disruptive and not distracting. Life is to short to live by the whim of profit-led iconography which aims to keep people guessing and attentive whilst distracting them from the real utility and product necessity.


You’re crazy.
