Because English is not the mother tongue for the majority of the people, and correctors fix typos, but not swapped words, unless you use something like Grammarly.
Pointing out mistakes is fine, being emphatic while doing it would be great

When I bought my no-brand coloured smartlight a few years ago I explicitly passed up on Philips Hue because it now seemed to require some smartphone app, and I just wanted to use a remote control. It's simpler to use, faster to use, has a lot less moving parts, and generally "always works". While there are some use cases where an app might be a bit more convenient, I'm willing to bet that if you asked people on the street that the majority would prefer to use just a remote (I admit I have no data to back this up).
Security and privacy concerns don't even come in to play (although these do make the apps even worse)
This is a shame, because I had good experiences with my old Hue, when they still did remotes.
They still do switches, what remotes are you referring to?
Good for you. I paid around 70 per month and it only covered the subway network between my apartment and the university. Or whole network for 85. That‘s not exactly cheap.
Beginning 2013, there is the semester tickets for students, which is twenty euros per month.
Before that, 70 euros? Where were you living, Freising?
Two external rings were around 50 euros at the time, and many students rent inside the (old) 4 inner rings, or the first external one if you study in Garching
Bachelor + Masters is 10 semesters usually. 1000 * 12 * 5 = 60.000. Well in the range that I quoted. And depending on the city the actual costs can be more.
Ah, but then your first comment is highly misleading, because when you talk number, readers assume cost per year.
You are basically saying that living in Europe in a university city cost anything between 6000 and 20000 euros each year.
Maybe a bit high, but I think I can agree.
But living is a cost all around the world, and universities in Europe add a very low overhead on top of it, while universities in US can easily triple your cost of living, so I still don't see your point
Parents have to pay for university in Europe unless they are poor. And while there are no fees, the costs are typically between 30k and 100k per child.
edit: In Germany. I‘m German and I have studied there. I should know.
edit2: Someone said this comment could be interpreted as the cost per year which is not the case. This is the total cost.
Uhm, what?
If you live with your parents, and the university is free, where does that number come from?
And if you don't live with your parents, you live with others students, spending 600-1000 euro month for living, how do you reach that numbers?
How long is that long term because there aren't that many great European companies.
I count 10 European companies on this list, and 20 US.
Maybe is not as bad as you think?

Saying all cops are anything is exactly the same thing as saying all blacks are thieves, all Jews are greedy, or any of the other blanket statements that can never apply to any large group of people. It’s disgusting.
You know that you _choose_ to be a policeman, right? Is not that you are born a policeman.
I can definitely say all killers are rotten inside, and it's a blanket statement.
This prompts a reflection about, as an industry, we should make a better job in providing solid foundations.
When I check tutorials on how to drill in the wall, there is (almost) no warning about how I could lose a finger doing so. It is expected that I know I should be careful around power tools.
How do we make some information part of the common sense? "Minimize the surface of exposure on the Internet" should be drilled in everyone, but we are clearly not there yet
