I dread calls at work more than anything in life.

Just send a fucking email.

Software mainly. Apple made software companies pay a license to release software on the Mac, so most companies chose to release on PC exclusively.

For decades Apple paid schools to teach on their computers. In the 80s and much of the 90s, all you’d find in computer labs was Macs.

It didn’t work because PCs were just better for businesses at the time.

Adjusting for overscan in the 2000s…

That’s illegal under the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act.

Send them a certified letter. Inform them that they need to prove you caused the damage, repair or replace your device, or you’ll be taking them to arbitration.

They generally have to pay for the arbiter, so it’ll be cheaper to just replace your cheap phone even if they win.

Fractional measurements are better than decimal measurements for anything where the level of precision is important.

Decimal measurements can only increase our decrease in precision by a factor of 10.

For example if your precision is accurate to 1/4 of a unit, you can represent that with fractions no problem.

What is that in decimal? “0.25” implies precision to the hundredth of a unit.

What if your measurement is half a unit, but it’s precise to 1/64 of a unit? Just don’t reduce the fractions. “32/64ths” is more precise than .5.
