When your body has to shut down some system in order to save your life, I think it's reasonable to assume there will be some damage.

Well, learning Latin and Ancient Greek definitely makes you a better human being, so that's a bad example...

Apple has thousands of reviewers, sometimes some of them make mistakes. The best way forward is usually to just submit again, most likely you’ll have another reviewer then that sees things differently.

That’s not a scenario most people need to worry about.

That sounds like something from Martin Gardener, I definitely heard of this trick!

by Grustaf 5y ago
Exactly. If you pay more to buy an Apple product you probably won't mind paying more to change the battery. The high price is not an issue for professionals, but it does mean people are _more_ likely to repair them, not less.

I definitely don't buy a new laptop every two years, few people do, and when I do buy one, like most people, I sell or hand it down. Same with a phone, I don't think many people throw away 2 year old phones. Using a laptop intensi

I don't know if this was directed at me, but I'm not saying it isn't easier and cheaper to replace a Framework battery. My point is that almost nobody cares. You replace your battery at most once, after like 4 years. 100 doll

Whatever else, I can guarantee you that they are not doing it on purpose in order to make it harder to repair them. They have just been prioritizing thinness. > or if you're paying them that much to replace the entire top case assem

Apple Silicon was a very significant upgrade, my M1 Air is just insane. It's a ridiculously good computer. But if you want a tool, why do you want it to be "under your control"? I think most people are more like me, I just wa

The battery life was never stellar, compared to previous and of course current Airs, but my daughter can use it a full school day without plugging in. >Anyway, I think the idea that a $1300-$6500+ laptop ships with a glued-in, non-replac

Yeah, and with the HK situation it's only going to accelerate. Mandarin really feels like a streamlined variant of Chinese, probably the classic lingua franca affliction. The tone system is also impoverished. Hakka preserves some archa

Sure, my point was that this is not the case for Japanese, probably not for anyone. They are vastly more familiar with Latin characters and English words than you are with Japanese. But yeah, programming will be slightly harder for them tha

I think the vast majority of people are like me, I'd much rather pay Apple 100-200 bucks to replace it, so that is what they optimise for. I'd rather have a slim computer than one where I can easily change the battery, so they are

It's not that it's generic, it's that it has several different, partly unrelated meanings, just like some short English roots that may coincide with some Latin, Greek or Old Norse loan. Both of the reasons for the many homoph

My 2016 MPB is in perfect shape, except the keyboard that was overly sensitive to dirt from the outset. Not sure if that counts as modern? My new MBA seems extremely well built too, not sure what you are referring to. Using my airpods pro a

I did it on two old MBAs in under an hour, never tried with the touch bar mac. My 2016 touchbar MBP13 still has an excellent battery though. Also, amortised over 3-4 years of use I don't really see why it matters if it takes 1 or 3 hou

Apple makes hardware that is extremely durable, I and others use MacBooks that are getting close to 10 years old. I really doubt people will use the Framework for longer. The main reason people buy new phones and macbooks is not that the ol

These are literally USB-C to X dongles. You may prefer them to be integrated, but they won't solve any compatibility issues.

Because 100% of people can enjoy the thinness 100% of the time, and only 5% of people need VGA for about 20% of their time.

by Grustaf 5y ago
Exactly! And many people still need to use floppy disks and parallel ports.
835.
by Grustaf 5y ago
1. Most people don't need to use any dongles at all 2. Most people that do need them, only need them for connecting to their own stuff, so they can just keep the dongle attached to the peripheral And also, if you want to be able to swi

Awful. Seems to be a common denominator when building dams. The people responsible should be put in jail, but it can’t be blamed on “White Americans” in general, that’s just absurd.

Nothing in the new Apple scanner relates to what you are talking about. There is a absolutely no limitation on storing and transmitting porn and other types of nude material, as long as it’s legal. You can even store copyrighted porn, they

Presumably the project is the last step, when they are basically just checking that you are as good as you say you are. Like checking references. At that point you should already be 90% certain to be hired, not 20%.
