Except there is no "paint". Neither are there any "black ones"; space grey isn't very close to black, and I've seen no wear issues of any kind on any of the Macs I support.

Investment is not a subsidy. Words still have meanings. Nobody in this thread has successfully answered the question: subsidized by whom?

Non-punishment is also not a subsidy; again, words have meanings. Let's use the correct words.

Passive-voice "reportedly" accusations; as the article itself admits, there's no evidence at all that Apple did this. So this would appear to be completely unsupported clickbait.

Let's actually not hope that, and let's not indulge the EU regulators' fantasies that they get to dictate the product design of products from non-EU countries.

Force Apple to support all kinds of arbitrary models? That's a comically bad idea.

BBC calling encryption "controversial privacy tech" is deeply disappointing and dangerous.

There's no reasonable expectation of pervasive video/audio capture, permanent recording, and complete AI analysis of all actions in public by all citizens forever, either. But that's the direction in which we're rapidly heading.

Neither of those things occurred, here. Kimmel's remarks were extraordinarily mild, and they also happen to be entirely true.

I have an Ioniq 5 and I have had nothing but perfect experiences with my Hyundai dealer. Both for sales, and service. Not that service has been much of a thing, since EVs require so little service.

It's also clearly not just me, as the Ioniq 5 has been rated the EV of the year several years running by multiple publications.

Uh, they were BUILDING the factory. Which was then going to provide hundreds of jobs to Americans.

Seems hard to characterize this in any way other than calling it incredibly stupid.

This is literally why I've been a professional choral/solo classical singer for 30 years. It works! It's a great way of life.

Atari 400 couldn't really compete. I had one as a kid. Neighbor kid had a C64. That membrane keyboard was a big handicap.

The Atari sure had some nice games, though!

The full IBM PC wasn't really a competitor; it was 3x the price and very few families were willing to shell out that kind of money at that point.

The power loss is due to the fact that the power source is plutonium. Which decays over time. So, your lump of plutonium contains less and less plutonium over time, and thus generates less power. A more modern generator doesn't really change this basic fact; the power source would still likely be plutonium, and would have the same issue. But yes, you could send up a larger lump of plutonium so that your power budget started out larger and would remain adequate for a longer time.

I ran a stack of Apollos in the 90s at the U of Iowa. Student hobby thing. We bought them from university surplus. Had a DN5500, a DN4500, and a DN3500. Ran email, a telnet BBS, and web services on them.

Soldered? It's not soldered. It's part of the actual SoC. Could we please update our research to more recent than 20 years ago?

That's for a court to decide. It's certainly reasonable to guess that that court case is coming. The only question is how soon.

This whole thing definitely looks highly anecdotal, rather rare, and basically 100% certain to be a bug. No way is Apple quietly forcing Sonoma upgrades on purpose; this wasn't intentional. Apple Support's responses to some affected users appear to confirm this.

Overuse of water is unverifiable? No it's not. Alarming reduction of water available in soil for plants is unverifiable? No it's not. Rising salinity in fresh water supplies is unverifiable? No it's not. Global temperature increases and increased volatility in weather is unverifiable? No it's not. Alarming increases in extinction of species is unverifiable? No it's not. Increases in CO2 and other pollution are unverifiable? No, they are most certainly not.

What are you even talking about?

Please cite support for your claim that effects of surpassing these boundaries are linear.

The people who actually know the science in these areas do not agree with you. Specifically with regard to global warming, the science has been clear on this for decades now: past around 1.5C, we risk cascading effects that could be uncontrollable. This is really fairly common in natural systems: if you mess it up, past a certain boundary effects accelerate and are uncontrollable.

The way to go: basil. You never have too much basil! And if you somehow manage to, a couple nice batches of pesto can use up basically any quantity of basil, the pesto can be frozen and keeps forever, and it's radically better than store-bought.

I also recommend cherry tomatoes. More snackable, easier to use them up.

Point of order: normal hybrids are not overcomplicated and they're a very mature technology that works great.

Tumblr did fine before app stores ever existed, and could do perfectly well without them now as well. Web is enough.

If it were renewable, you wouldn't need to "find" a "pocket" of it. That's not what renewable means.

Any recommended resources for determining which milkweed might be native in a given area?

Sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy to me. Toyota has always leaned into hybrids and away from full-electric models. They just aren't very good at competing in the full-electric market. So it makes sense for them to issue a self-serving "forecast" and simultaneously announce that they're pushing hybrids instead.

Mini-HDMI doesn't require a dongle. Just get the right cable. They're just as cheap as a normal HDMI cable.

No. In fact, given the dishonest behavior of ISPs, the FCC should go even further, and require all ISPs to list the full sticker price of any offered services, and ONLY the full price, in all advertising.

They shouldn't even be allowed to list a price that doesn't yet include the fees. No asterisks. No appendices. No see below. No fine print. Just list the real price. Always.

Americans don't buy cars anymore, though; not really. They buy ludicrous gigantic heavy pickups and SUVs. So what we're really talking about is getting decent range into oversized pickups that their owners want to accelerate like sports cars and still have a nice air-conditioned interior even when it's 150 degrees on the pavement due to climate change.

1. No, it's not silly.

2. No, the ownership is not in public records, as this story makes clear. Who precisely is behind this seems quite vague.

3. The fact this has been "openly" (whatever that means) happening for 5 years is irrelevant.

4. No, this is begging the question. "Everyone" clearly does not know, at all, what they (who is they?) are doing.

5. What kind of energy infrastructure, precisely?

6. What's the source of your intense desire to deflect on this topic?

Am I the only one who think the 41CX totally outclasses the 42 series?
