Rotate the controls the whole car 90 degrees CCW.

Where I am people do not trust people and shopping carts are coin operated.

I'd honestly be impressed by a freezer that's been running since '97.

Yeah, not suspicious at all.

Kind of like estimations in software development.

Conveniently enough (at least in this case) "everyone in my house" boils down to just me.

It's still Europe, but not the EU.

I'm in the same boat. Currently also using Vivaldi as my main daily driver, and from what I've tried any browser that doesn't ship with gestures natively has had problems when relying on an extension for the gestures - most often the problem is that gestures don't work globally but only when a page loads.

I can see the pain in the eyes of the support fella.

No, we must rewrite it in this fancy new framework that came out last week.

(/s if not obvious)

Is this a US joke I'm too European to understand?

That's just the opposite of how tipping is supposed to work. If I'm happy with the service, I'll tip (and I'm far, far from the US - in a place where you don't get frowned upon if you don't tip) - and by "happy" I don't even mean something extraordinary - but I can't know if I will be happy in advance. Moreover I'd prefer tipping in cash as opposed to through an app - this way I know the money can go directly in the worker's pocket, not in the company's.

It's a tough walk from my kitchen to my desk indeed.

For the smartphones I mostly agree. Even Pixels, although easily unlockable and rootable, make you jump through hoops if you want to use things like banking.

For PCs, there are still options available. Fractal have cases with no RGB and even metal side panels (as opposed to tempered glass ones) if that's your thing. Noctua and be quiet! still make non-RGB fans and coolers.

I'm sad that popup front cameras didn't catch on. I only remember 2 or 3 phones that had them. For me it's the perfect compromise - this way you can make an end to end screen without the need for a notch, and since I very rarely use the front camera, I wouldn't be too concerned about the durability of the popup mechanism. The only real downside I see is that it complicates waterproofing.

iPhones are far too big and have too many huge cameras for me.

It's the same outside of the Apple ecosystem too. It's as if everything is tied together. If I want a high end phone with nice build quality and a good, high resolution + high refresh rate display, I'm usually forced to also pay for 3-4 different cameras that I might never use. If I want to constrain myself to a more reasonable price, I'm limited to either a last year flagship or a current midrange model.

There are several advantages to not having them: without all the extra parts needed to support these features you can make the phone thinner (thickness is traditionally a key marketing point for smartphones)

I'd be pretty happy with a phone that's 1.5x thicker than normal if it has a 6000-7000 mAh battery.

How would they show ads to me if I don't use their services?

Lots of silliness indeed, yet I can't remember the last time I had to use a non-strict comparison.
