RCS is a terrible standard. But China wants it, so Apple is forced to add it.

This memory has1/4 the bandwidth of M series Mac’s. It may be possible to match current memory with 4 chips. But that would take a lot of room. And that leaves little room for growth.

My family sent me TikTok’s. I rarely use it, but have it installed for this purpose.

Those targets seem unrealistic even without driving off a core group of heavy users.

And emergency crews carry the tool to cut them open if needed.

If you want to kill someone in the US with little consequences, run them over with a car.

They go through how the mackerel as money came about. Also, that expired mackerel, i.e. fiat, have their own lower exchange rate.

My kids laptop has 4 IIRC. Getting a PC motherboard with more than one on rear and one connector for front of case was impossible last I looked. I generally keep my pc’s for about 5 years and wish to future proof somewhat. It is beyond ridiculous at this point. Although, I haven’t tried to buy one for a few months so perhaps this has changed.

The real question is, why is that even possible?

How is this legal in the US given the first sale doctrine?

We need data privacy laws.

Microsoft gave up far too easily. We should have a Windows phone.

But the better alternate to iOS did not win. Google had the funds to push Android forward, where WebOS did not.

Apple loves under ramming (to give a word a new meaning) and forcing everyone to pay for upgrades. The problem is there are always people that buy the base.

I usually agree, but in this case it sounds like they did. Ireland set a low tax to attract companies. So apple opened an office there and hired thousands of workers. And paid their taxes. But the EU did not think that was fair and demanded more after the fact.

The fee is standard across many industries, including attorneys.

I thought the same until realizing it was from Vox, a typically left leaning site.

It comes down to having tires sized to carry the weight. A heavy vehicle would need tires the size of those Russian off-road vehicles to match the light Jeep. Also why light offroad vehicles like a Polaris side-by-side are so popular now with people that drive trails. And why you would never want to take those lifted full-sized trucks off road even though they are popular on the highway.

Funny if true. Have a source?

Competition is good.

These are similar to tornado shelters in the US. Several of my neighbors have them.

They even make some that are basically a porch and steps with a hatch to open and climb in.

They are also common with cheap housing like trailer houses.

When is PS 6 due out? Feels late in the cycle to buy one.

Edit: rumor sites are stating 2026 at the earliest, so probably ok.

And Google updating this old code in 3, 2, 1

How bad do Macs slow down with encryption? Or can you even turn it off? They do have a dedicated chip, and section of chip, to handle encryption.

Too rich and probably a big donor. They will make an exception.

All pc sales are down. Other PC companies profits are terrible. Everyone stocked up for work from home and now are good.

The middle class in China is larger than the middle class in the US. The number of poor is also larger. But it is no longer a nation of poor people.

To save a penny on each connector. The USB group is ran by hardware manufacturers. They do not have innovation as a core value.

Great idea, and realize likely a joke, but wouldn’t you just need to pull the one or two that connect out to the internet?

Microsoft once bailed out Apple to show they have competition. Google financially supports Firefox so have a modicum of competition.

I am a big Apple guy, but this is not healthy. I wish Google would step up their game.

At what point do they turn the servers off?

A micro reactor, which is really cool.

Phones are maturing. Are they upset when the new Toyota Camry is only modestly different than last years?
