Wouldn't work for monitors. If Apple puts out one monitor into each product line every 2-3 years, Dell for example could have 3-4 different 27s out every year - there could be a 1080p, a 1440p and a 2160p that all share the same physical size and release year.

How do the local backups work? I'm interested in defacing my profile, but still want to preserve some things I find useful.

I agree about the "everything in one place"; besides that, in terms of shopping, there's not much to it. In terms of services there used to be some pretty neat stuff, e.g. unlimited cloud storage for photos (including RAW files) for something like 50 EUR/year, but of course they axed that.

Plenty of alternatives for everything, just maybe a little less convenient.

In terms of media, I don't stream from paid services; whatever I pay for is either at local shows where I buy CDs from artists directly, or through label stores, or through outlets like Bandcamp (btw it's Bandcamp Friday right now until the end of the weekend, go support what you like).

Can't remember the last time I bought something from there to begin with.

The weird thing is that they're usually only bad in comparison to all the newer games you've played after that.

Off the top of my head a Fuji FinePix S5700 I had borrowed from a friend for some time (that was more than 10 years ago). That thing was doing continuous focus while on and idle, and it would lock focus when you half-press the shutter button - so completely backwards to what you'd normally expect from a camera.

I remember that term. It was short-lived.

You have to also consider that when 5" was big, bezels were big too. With today's thin bezels the same physical size that used to hold 5" could probably hold 5.5".

Because apparently people want big phones.

For the last 10-15 years it's been a boiling frog situation really - .1 or .2" increase every generation until 7" somehow becomes the norm (for a phone, not a tablet, mind you).

I wish there were more small hi-end phones too.

It's good to have some variety - after all different things get shitty in different ways.

Politics aside, I'd be curious to see how far something like this can go. Can't not think of Opera Software - even they were not successful while they were using their own proprietary tech.
