>Macs need to cut the Bs and give us upgradable RAM back I don't see that happen any time soon, not with their new focus on building the core as a SoC. Maybe with the MacPros, there will be on-SoC RAM and slower off-SoC, but I doubt

During my time, the Mac line has switched CPUs three times, why would Apple not switch to RISC-V if that one is really so much better than ARM?

>Because when you want a super fast chip, you don't design up from a freaking cell phone CPU. You design down from a server CPU. Is that really true? I don't have any intricate chip knowledge, but it rings false. Whether ARM is

The "fullscreen" screen area is the 16:10 that results from subtracting the notch height. The area left and right of the notch is strictly for the menu bar and will be blanked out on video or full-screen apps. I guess that if you

Apple is using SOCs now where CPU and RAM are one chip package. How are you going to upgrade RAM here even with the mother of all reflowing stations?

AFAIK their recycling is shredding everything, no matter if it still works and separating gold and some other metals.

They also have a limited headcount and resources so they wouldn't want to announce M1x/pro/max for all machines now and have employees be idle for the next 3 months. Notebooks also have a higher profit margin, so they sell th

I know it's a stretch and I don't want to Godwin the discussion too much, but that is really not an excuse. The Nuremberg trials clearly rejected this "Nuremberg defense", but of course it was the beaten party standing b

That sounds amazing. It will come to late for me, but I wish it had been available when I was younger.

And 5th, I have no idea how long sperm remains viable in the prostate, but I imagine that you would have to ultrasound your balls regularly or end up with live swimmers in a very unpredictable way. I'd imagine you'd destroy them a

Didn't the /r/wsb dudes start it with "aping into stonks together" or something?

Same here, and now that my Sony Xperia Compact is now on life support, I will have to switch to iPhone. There is no Android phone maker left that produces something between the ultra-small Atom and what used to be called phablets. And even

Cars are not something anyone would buy every year. Even those buying every other year are few. Not that I like the amount of resources we are wasting that way, but a whole lot of people buy a new version smartphone every year.

Very true. People used to see working as a normal part of life, and used to invest part of their salary in solid funds to retire on those investments later. Those in well-paying jobs expected to retire on a bigger amount than those in less

It's narrated looking back years, so probably the conversation had been slightly different. I agree that pouncing like that on "know" vs. "believe" seems over the top. But he probably used some different way to expr

>in the West a man can't be friends with a married woman Nah, that's no longer true as of today. It used to be like that in the 60+ generation, but among younger people, it really depends on the partners involved.

That special photo is really old by now. Today, you have to know where the wall was to know. Berlin has switched to LED-lighting for all new street lights.

If I may say so, your friend isn't the brightest candle on the cake if she didn't research the rules before and then tried to dodge them. I bet she would have cried foul murder if CPS came to her house and threatened to take away

Thanks for answering :) I could do all that, it's just that nothing "clicks" in the sense that I really want to do it, instead of doing it to pass time. That sounds like depression and maybe it is, but I feel it's got mo

The German school system doesn't take kindly to this, AFAIK. Maybe if we temporarily gave up residency, but as far as I know, the equivalent of CPS would have some questions.

At this point, I could retire, but I have no idea what to do with the rest of my life. I feel like I have achieved all I could (which is very wrong, but that's how it feels) I'm no longer young and I have family, so simply packing

IDK. First, I don't believe there will be any kind of surgical precision with autonomous weapons systems. Human drone operators have taken out way too many weddings for my liking, and the German army obliterated a lot of people gatheri
