4 hours though this was really a software issue

there was a safari bug that frequently caused unlimited reloading of icons

That isn't really an excuse when the same company is supplying the software and the hardware.

the xps 15 9550 with the 4k monitor finally got flicker free with the last bios update, so those of you who got that macbook replacer should update

for me that was the last xps 15 quality issue, so now the thing is working nicely

if you use bitlocker remember to have your recovery key handy. when you update the bios bitlocker breaks a fuse and wants the recovery key, your password ain't no good here

iirc it was a bug that occurred when you disabled safari's cache via the developer menu. consumer reports was testing the laptop with the safari's caches disabled. maybe they were trying to run it through its paces, but i dont see disabling caches as something a typical consumer would do.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
disabled cache is a dumb way to test especially for all day use. poo poo like Angular and React can be cached across websites if the CDN and version match.

Angular 2 is like 800 KB zipped. Nothing about that stuff is intended to be loaded new every page hit.

actually, chips are good

the new/retrofitted terminals in the us are just trash

protip: insert the chip before the cashier is done ringing your poo poo up to save a little time

alternatively, use contactless/apple pay where you can, its very quick

if neither suggestions help:

hooray contactless credit cards, where someone with a small contactless pay terminal can literally just walk around in a crowded space like a subway car and charge everyone $20 without their knowledge.

at least with applepay you have to have your finger on the home button for it to work.
