Ah I can see that that could've been the intended reading. I agree the purported motives would've been different this time. I'm overly cynical about this particular matter though. Here in Ireland, the government recently intr

I'm not saying you did, I'm just disagreeing that it would actually be a different situation nowadays. Apologies if that came across incorrectly.

I would lean toward the £ means sterling, as Ireland used that from 1868 - 1928, the period in question (and the punt was de-facto pegged to it until the 70s).

Except they did have an active SIM on a prepaid plan, that hadn't been topped up. In a situation like that I would still be able to receive calls and texts, just not make them.

If I were on a prepaid plane, and I didn't top up, my phone would still have an active SIM and phone number. I would still be able to receive calls and texts.

Yes, if I'm on a prepaid plan? If I didn't top up, my phone would still have an active SIM and phone number. I would still be able to receive calls and texts.

Yeah, because a Celeron is definitely equivalent to an M1. I’m sure screen resolution, color calibration and build quality were as good too.

Needing to pay to receive texts is utterly alien to me.

The weird part about this, as somebody outside of the US, is that you need to pay to receive a text message.

To clarify, the sysctl is related to a 3rd-party kernel extension. That kernel extension is a convenient wrapper around the actual interface which is a per-thread flag that can be turned on and off. And not one of those threads indicates th

I'm sorry, but please cite some sources, because this contradicts everything that's been said about M1's x86 emulation that I've read so far. > Well, did you know Apple ported Rosetta 2 to Linux? You can get it by run

That's still emulating the underlying API, and accepted usage of the word. Much like the FreeBSD linux emulator translates linux syscalls into FreeBSD ones.

No, not at all like that. One slight difference is that what you said is complete nonsense. I'm using an accepted definition of emulation: > emulate (transitive verb) > To imitate the function of (another system), as by modificat

One might say it emulates windows library and system calls.

Yep! They both come from Proto-Indo-European (PIE) keh₂n-. As a matter of fact, the Italic and Celtic branches of PIE are posited to be closer than to each other than other Indo-European branches and are often grouped together as Italo-Celt

More like, "It's not with me", at least in Hiberno English. We'd also say "on me" (in Hiberno-English) for possession, although it means that you have it on your immediate person: "Do you have it?" &q

There's two factors there though. The first is how English accents in those localities have been influenced by historic use of Irish there. The second is how the accents learners of Irish are now being influenced by English phonetics.
