It’s replaceable, it’s not upgradable.

Apple doesn’t use standard NVMe M.2 drives. The controller is built into the SoC rather than being on the storage device itself.

Even if I wanted to visit the states. Can I risk having my holiday ruined and the money I’d lose if I was randomly turned away at the border?

It’s not even safe to transit the states at the moment.

I goes the water misters to lower temperature at the likes of Disneyland would be illegal under that wording. They’re emitting a chemical (water) to explicitly lower the temperature via evaporative cooling.

Hotmail ran on FreeBSD when Microsoft acquired the company in 1997. They started the transition a few years later and it was entirely hosted on Windows by 2005.

We could do so much more, but would we? USAID was just shuttered. There’s every chance that money would go into the military industrial complex or something equally unpleasant.

The Tesla board should intervene and remove him, but they won’t because he’s stacked it with yes men like his brother.

That desktop app really is super hot garbage.

I’ll hold out for the Pro Max Ultra

Linus is really, really shitty at responding to criticism. I don’t think it’s malice, it just didn’t occur to them.

He should just be upfront and say “you know what? We should have done better here”. That’s it.

The entire Polity series is great, but my favourite parts are always when we follow a Prador perspective.

Look at Mr Moneybags over here with a positive bank balance…

For music? You could use Bluetooth, or attach an SSD full of music. Or simply hotspot to your phone and use the built in music apps.

Personally I think $10 per month for unlimited data (audio and video streaming) is a steal.

You’re can still do most things without the small monthly fee

Install windows, run debloat powershell script. Done.

Microsoft give no shortage of things to complain about without needing to exaggerate.

It’s common in the server world. KB article on it is here.
