What is there to understand? They want to sell you the drives directly. This is extremely common practice, see ink cartridges.

Doesn't make much sense to me? How would they argue that? "Don't ban third party HDDs, you'll earn less on sales and you won't have to pay me". Wut

Fun fact: this information is already available in the System Information app on your Mac. Hardware -> USB I also use the app to check what wattage my cables are when charging my MacBook (Hardware -> Power)

Oh by the way I suggest watching George Carlin's "stuff" bit. I think about his "smaller version of your stuff" every time I go on a side trip.

Your comment touched on a lot of notes and I'm having trouble writing my thoughts down. Everything expires, the stuff/mementos I saved in my teens is now gone. My situation only speeds this process up due to practical reasons. If

Did a motorbike trip in Vietnam with my parents and they rolled up to the airport with 4 large (soft) bags. I was with a backpack. Guess who was the porter throughout the trip.

You can change. I was the save everything, archive everything guy. I had a box of receipts for daily purchases at one point. I downloaded and burned all the movies I could. Then I started nomading and now my life fits entirely in one 50

In my case I simply refuse jobs that don't let me work when I want to. Daily standup? Absolutely no way. Weekly standup? Only as long as I can skip it on the regular. I'm extremely productive and I'll work weekends, but if

While Apple tries their best to avoid it, once you remove the passcode you can just open the Passwords app and see all the passwords. I wish they let me keep the passcode on device but don't require it after only 4 hours of idle.

Sorry but aluminum foil level of thinking to me. First of all, my digital ID is still a physical card. Second, you're on the wrong forum complaining that people need a device to do things in life.

Again, I did that, but then iOS keeps asking until it reaches someone who doesn't realize that there's no option. Effectively you have to reject it regularly, which isn't practical in this context (the elderly)

My mother's brain immediately blanks out the moment I tap something on screen. I can see it. If it's 3 taps she says "oh it can do so much, I'll never remember it" And that's it. Complete refusal to learn. She

Oh yes, you can, then an update is installed overnight and now they're presented with a non-dismissable screen that forces them to add it. Literally happened this month with iOS 26 on my family iPad. Suddenly it had a passcode and I kn

I placed a Facebook Portal at my 90-year-old grandma's and she video calls me with it. Extremely easy to use. I fear the day Facebook finally kills it and I have to navigate the nightmare that are tablets, their ever-changing UIs, and

I hate this so bad. You know that the solution will be that EU will block US companies (who do not comply) so EU users will eventually get their own WhatsApp called MsgMeNow. The result is that nobody can talk to people outside their own ju
