That's difficult with oil though. At least my airbags aren't stolen every few months like with some brands here since the manufacturer made it hard to swap them between cars.

I don't think buyers of these SSDs want to return it. The only reason to buy such an SSD is to resell it. Effectively they are enabling other scammers.

Administrators are to blame because management (and a lot of 'cybersecurity policies') demand there's a virus scanner on the machines? While virus scanners might pick up some threats not addressed by OS updates yet every one

In the Netherlands the Fritz boxes are seen as one of the 'premium' brands. Most other ISP provided routers are completely shit random value brands so that might explain the difference. I'm on my third Fritzbox now and only t

You mean 6F8, 6A326 or 6.8.8 depending on the model of your Airpods. Makes you think about the security of all the bluetooth devices that never receive an update at all.

It’s quite rare to have bad memory, especially when not using an overclocked gaming machine. Most memory troubleshooting guides start with reseating the modules which means it’s not the memory that’s bad but the connector. Getting rid of th

Those were not handed out, you paid 1,50 guilders per month to rent them. Also, you didn't have a lot of choice: until the end of the 80s it was officially forbidden to connect any non-PTT sanctioned telephone to your line.

Note that this doesn't mean you get 8 years of warranty on an expensive oven. Just that if it fails in 4 years you still can claim 50% of the purchase price.

The local AI model Apple is using needs at least 8Gb. (I guess not all for the AI, but the rest of the phone also needs memory to function)

The first iPhone was Apple's first attempt at a modern touch screen device too. I think the difference is mainly in the extreme amount of care for details Apple seems to have for everything user related.

PostgreSQL connections don't scale up as well as some other databases. Every connection gets a huge chunk of server memory so you'll run out of memory very fast.

The point is not needing a NAT translation table and running out of ports on your router. My provider also delivers an IPv6 configuration with all ports closed. I can enable incoming traffic for the devices that need it.

That's a lot for 2 years of use. I'm using less than 100 cycles per year, but my MacBook is on a powered USB-C hub a lot of the time (so it's charging or holding but not using battery power).

Probably he went to some Apple reseller that passes repairs to a real AASP. I've seen that arrangement in my vicinity and you're better off going directly to the repair centre. Not everyone knows that though.
