   Sorry, I wasn't clear. This was back in 10.4 or 10.5. I remember seeing Apple had fixed it in a later version like how you describe.

   But someone could MITM your forecast and tell you it wasn't going to rain, leading you to get soaked for lack of wearing rain gear /s I stopped using the Dashboard weather widget when I realized it was giving me the weather for Mi

   If they know the race even exists… Even politically-interested friends often have no idea there are judges on the ballot, or if they do, which one they should vote for. And they can't fall back on party, since many of these races are o

   I agree there's nothing original about the basic design, but that's true of a lot of mature products. With USB ports on both sides (in additional to Thunderbolt 3) and an HDMI port, it's a lot like the 2015 MacBook Pro aka th

    My new-this-spring HP EliteBook (ordered custom with FreeDOS) running Ubuntu 20.04 seems flawless to me, although YMMV. This coming from someone who has only ever owned Macs and uses Macs at work.

    It has been: - the retina MBA is ~ 5 W (but I think it's configurable by the manufacturer and configured up, since it has a fan, though no heat pipe, unlike the 12-inch MB that was fully passive) [Edit: I think it's 10 W.] - the 2

    Sure, but you described NZ as a "warm island nation", you didn't say that it's warm there lately. Where I am in Minneapolis it will be in the 70s–90s in a couple months, but I wouldn't call Minneapolis a "warm
