Utter nonsense Got something other than anecdata? Because a web search returns a list of contrary sources as long as my arm. But, hell, if we are trading stories, I dipped snuff for 30 years and I’ve consumed coffee since middle school. I

I'm typing this on a 2012 MBP with 8Gb of RAM. That seemed like plenty when I bought it, and I did dev work in Xcode on the thing. Granted, it can only run Catalina, but it still gets the job done for what I use it for now. "Now&q

Says the person who has apparently never had a dog or a kid get tangled in the power cable and destroyed the port, or pulled the laptop off the table. I charge my M2 air with a usb-c cable. Soooo, continue to charge the M5 Air with a USB-

That's one way of looking at it. How much do you think it costs to take a laptop system and shrink it down to iPhone-sized?

Whenever I point out that Apple's "security by obscurity" strategy is a complete failure I get downvotes. Maybe because you apparently don’t know what “security by obscurity” means? Regardless, what’s your recommendation fo

They didn’t “just say Apple” because it wouldn’t be true. What gives you the impression ad blockers don’t work on Apple mobile devices?

Wait a minute, what? What I read from your comment is that on your work machines the screen savers display ads? I mean, I’d heard Windows was getting bad with the ads, but surely it doesn’t work that way out of the box.

Could we just link to the original source instead of Gizmodo’s editorialized bad take? https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-418890A1.pdf I’ll start by saying that it pains me to have to defend anything out

Cappuccino was not an Apple project, so I doubt that is what Apple used to develop those projects. That, and 280 North eventually got acquired by Motorola.

Maybe the iPhone Fold won’t be two 8” slabs of glass glued together, I think that’s the only hope for those holding out for another Mini.

Where are you finding refurb’ed 13 Minis? Apple only goes back to 14s now on store.apple.com in the U. S.

Sure, there’s a chance. Don’t know why you’re asking, though, because those that know aren’t talking and those that are talking…

Thanks for the context, I imagine it makes a bit of difference. :-)

The more useful case ime is turning cyclists with reduced mobility into regular cyclists. You mean, turn weak cyclists into strong cyclists, like GP said? :-)

For many people around my area, iPhones are a status symbol choice. People in your area are very forthcoming. Not once have I ever heard someone vocalize that they bought an iPhone as a status symbol. “Easy to use”, “it’s what my friends

This is the chart I couldn’t see, thanks. And holee shit, quit eating beef. :-)

Did my ad blocker somehow block the “one simple chart”? Because I don’t see a chart in TFA.

Nobody wants those, and nobody wants this. Just because you don’t want it doesn’t mean <checks notes…> a billion or so people don’t want an iPhone. Or rather, a phone they don’t have to dick with straight out of the box. OTOH, I d

OP explained it clearly: “you couldn’t $1, now you can”. It would be helpful if you explained which part did you not understand. Alternatively, that barking sound I hear might be a sea lion.

If you think there is actual fraud going on via the US mail, report it. The Postal Service takes mail fraud very seriously. But I suspect you mean to say 90% of what ends up in your mailbox is junk. If that's the case, there's a f

Downvoter (and GP) didn't RTFA. This is addressed in the parts of the law TFA quotes.

I'd swear I've seen such systems advertised in the appropriate magazines for large RVs (Class A "tourbus" RVs), but for the life of me a web search brings up nothing. For now, assume I hallucinated such a thing (or maybe

If one can be bothered to click the link, that's not what TFA says at all. One need not even read past the headline: "...Asks Court to Immediately Halt Illegal Conduct"

I had the same question as you. Then I read TFA and discovered that the question was answered in the first paragraph of TFA.

Talking about driver education, refrigerated trucks never get to turn off the engine until they unload the cargo. The refrigeration unit often runs on a separate unit powered by its own engine, not the engine powering the truck. Don’t get

Our camper van (which is a tall sail) compensates for sidewinds. Other RVs can have this feature as well, though often as aftermarket fitment. Pretty neat when it works, “man, sure is windy today, but this van is a lot easier drive in the c
