Yup. I upgraded to a slightly more expensive with 1Gbps down just to make the pain happen only every two years as opposed to one. :) But still it seems to be the best choice if you plan ahead to suffer just once a year.

FYI, it's been a while since you can get a signing developer certificate for free and sign and deploy any app you want for your own device. You can't easily distribute it though, as the complexity is equivalent to sideloading. It&

Fair points. I don't think they are going to effective though for an average enough user to change Apple, and that just addresses the customer angle. As a developer you don't have much choice to boycott Apple. You have to pick you

Boycott Apple... and then what? What's the viable alternative? Android? No, thank you. At least you have some leverage over Apple by the virtue of being the customer. The competitor's business model makes it much harder to influen

Gambling closely ties into a fundamental human interest. A legal gambling app is definitely hugely valuable. I truly mean to say this in the most positive angle possible. I think they are providing a valuable service and a great app, but it

> what's the problem with letting the OS know the key? it already has access to all the files! How about when your device is locked in sleep mode. The main processor should lose the key to a certain set of files, as does on iOS.

Correct. This was not an objection to the article's point at all. I was reinforcing another dimension of the notion described in the article under "prestige" that when you are at any one of them, there's a pressure that

It's amazing that there is a widespread tendency in Googlers to think Google is "the best place" and moving is a downgrade (i.e. fear of missing out, where do I go after this ), while at the same time many Facebook employees

Fast M.2 SSDs (e.g. Samsung PRO series) are almost as expensive as Apple's proprietary SSD that you can find on the market. It's a fair point that one cannot opt for cheaper M.2 SSDs and has to either settle for the very high end

I thought this website was titled Hacker News. :-) I sure like my iMac with 8TB extra storage not to waste additional space on my desk and be connected via a fast and reliable SATA bus as opposed to USB-3 or super expensive Thunderbolt.

by mehrdada 9y ago
If you have an iMac, not the iMac Pro, you can increase storage quite straightforwardly by adding a SATA SSD (or replacing the PCI-e blade SSD, but that's much more costly). [I think you may need to buy a proprietary cable too if it&#x
