As a general rule of thumb, whenever you post something that has a major political figure who is highly divisive, think about posting it in the Soapbox instead. You will save time because the lounge is not the place for political rants.

Well, Firefox updated itself to version 55, and now my extensive set of add-ons are starting to act up.  It seems that a great add-on would be one that could automatically search for and updates all the other add-ons. Any ideas?

I thought FireFox did that automatically. Guess not.

I have a newish MacBook Pro and I've been fairly robust in my frustration and disappointment in, well, pretty much all of it except the outside cover. Which is gorgeous.
I have a new theory though.
It's no secret that Apple has been rumoured to be moving to ARM[^] which is great for power, terrible for those who remember moving from PowerPC to Intel. Apple will really need a convincing story to get people to move over, and so my latest conspiracy theory is that Apple is deliberately handicapping the display driver, touchpad driver, Wifi driver, power management and anything else they can easily break in Bootcamp in order to make the Windows experience so terrible that people just move to macOS and away from Bootcamp entirely.
Nothing else can explain just how awful it's become to use Bootcamp on the new Macbooks.
C'mon Microsoft: get your hardware issues under control, give us some serious battery life, and release the hounds. The time is ripe for a Contender.

Based on my last visit to the local Microsoft store, in the mall, they have a lot of work to do. Maybe they do better on line.
3 MS employees talking to each other and a little kid playing games... on an HP I think. On a Saturday. Perhaps their notebooks and tablets perform well, but they are really ugly. Who designed that hinge?
In the same mall, the Apple store is mobbed. If you go in, you discover that most are waiting to see the genius for support.
Now back to my life in virtual machines.
(if I say something in the forest and my wife isn't there, am I still wrong?)
Arguing with a woman is like reading the Software License Agreement. In the end, you ignore everything and click "I agree".

Now that says something. A mob waiting to see the genius for support.
The Microsoft store empty.

Check out the Surface Book[^] for an example of how to make something as simple as a hinge ugly, impractical, and a liability in the thin-is-king market.
Or the Surface Laptop[^] for an excellent example of what happens when you have a solid vision coupled with a bunch of monkeys calling the shots. Excellent hardware and they drag it down with Windows S.
Microsoft are constantly *this close* to doing things right. They need a single person with vision at the top who walks around calling BS on the stupid, stupid product decisions that get made.

 I did not even look at MS when I bought my latest laptop earlier this year. And the office use Thinkpad which I consider an excellent tool.
