There is no "civilized world". Not anymore. Trumpism settled that. There's the EU, and the rest of the world is failed states.

Real moral principle comes from giving the money you earned...back to Facebook? So that Facebook can be richer? Maybe think for five seconds before being an amateur moral philosopher in public, with other people's money, next time. You

You seem to be yet another person who needs to get a lot more acquainted with the definition of "censorship". Words have meanings. Comparing the mere promotion of some content over other content with "censorship" is grav

First: So anything that can be misused or abused should be abolished? That's your argument? I think I would prefer a more nuanced view and a more nuanced response. Second: You claim here that downvoting an opinion "censors" i

Um, what upgrade treadmill? This argument is so tiresome. Apple's products consistently last longer and hold their value much longer than the competition. That is the exact opposite of an "upgrade treadmill". I've used v

Before attacking Krugman (who has a Nobel Prize in this subject, btw) and dismissing him out of hand in favor of random hedge fund guys, please cite evidence, any evidence, that his supposed "partisan" attributes have affected his

This would be more convincing if you were not, you know, just making it up out of whole cloth in a completely lazy and unsupported way. "Negligible security difference"? "Excuse"? Come back when you have a real argument

It's easy to view a lot of things in facile, inaccurate ways. Not very informative, but, certainly easy!

This sounds like someone who has never actually used a recent Apple trackpad and who is making things up. It's simply false that a large trackpad makes clicking harder. There's no physical hinge anymore.

Not at all, actually. You're forgetting the heavy use of MacBook Pros by recording engineers and musicians. For them, having a machine that is fast without generating the incredibly annoying constant fan noise of the vast majority of P

A lot of people will pay very well for those machines. I hear that you think otherwise, but that's because you haven't actually bothered to check. I agree with you that the 2016-19 machines are inferior, though.

Nope! Not a downgrade. Distinct upgrade. You are aware this machine has THREE Thunderbolt 4/USB-C ports, yes?

Ignore the "trade-in" value. Your machine has excellent resale value, because it's a Mac. Take advantage of it.

Some of this had been previously fixed but not noticed by some: keyboard was fixed on the last Intel MBP models. Headphone jack was never gone to begin with. RAM had already been boosted.

They didn't optimize the ports for the cheap monitor market, at all. These machines support Apple's extremely expensive display and all the various 4K and 5K displays out there, admirably. And they ALSO have the single most needed

It's part of it. ProMotion helps, by increasing efficiency for screen redraws. A new display architecture helps, due to more power efficiency. More thickness means room for a larger battery. And M1 helps by being vastly more power-effi

I'm glad she got fired. Comparing the very very very mild issues Apple might have to the MeToo movement? Really? Seriously? Get a grip.

First off, basically nobody gets famous playing Shakespeare. So that has zero value as a metric. Second, Stewart was with the Royal Shakespeare Company for 16 years well before any Star Trek stuff, so I'm sorry, but at least for those

Except that as this thread demonstrates, there is no realistic possibility of this researcher actually making more $$$ in real life by trying to find another bidder.

How long do you think it's still going to be convincing to anyone with an IQ over 50 to talk about what Steve Jobs said about antenna issues on the iPhone 4? He's been dead for over a decade now . Get over it. And come up with an

> Apple is the primary reason we have unreplaceable batteries, for example. This is a goofy fantasy. Apple, which is a minority player in this market, is forcing everyone else to make battery replacements difficult? No it's not. Tha

This sounds like straight-up fraud to me. They promised one thing, and now, after an outage that was their own fault, they are intentionally warping and devaluing the nature of the advertising product they sold to customers, so that instead
