The butterfly keyboard's known issues resulted in a huge recall. The touch bar didn't fail at anywhere close to the same rate, although yes... it was expensive to fix if it did fail.

I didn't like it, and was happy when they got rid of it. But I didn't hate it. I did hate the butterfly keyboard that was introduced at the same time. Probably Apple's biggest hardware mistake of the past 15 years or so.

It is extremely inconvenient. Both because a dwindling minority of people do old things the old way; and because new things (eg Netflix and Uber) are designed for the new way, even if they don't absolutely require it.

Didn't say she was involved. In this case, it seems most likely it was the weirdo separatist party that leaked the info. But she's earned the animus of many Canadians and Albertans by playing footsie with garbage like David Parker

Smith was friendly with Parker. Attended his wedding, did softball interviews with his wife who worked for a right wing media site.

Amiga 1000 was released in mid-1985, although I think few units were shipped before 1986. Amiga 500 was 1987 - same year as VGA, its little brother MCGA, and the Mac II. Not sure when VGA would have been considered mainstream... 1989 maybe?

Cows are sometimes fed human-consumable calories (eg corn). Other crops that humans can digest can be produced on land currently used for grass. Other animal species that eat grass require fewer feed cal per calorie produced.

Fewer cows would be a huge environmental win. Beef farming is a major source of GHG. Also a very expensive/inefficient way to produce calories.

Made me think of this as well. If I remember the story I read correctly, they just call it "The Knowledge". What a great name.

There are a lot of "original" models at the top of the list. While they were groundbreaking, as actual products they kind of sucked (eg too little RAM, missing very key features, etc). The original made for great demos, but the se

I don't think so. Apple never made a x86 DOS card for the LC PDS. Maybe a third party like OrangePC did, but I can't find a definitive confirmation online. The only Apple II card was the Apple IIe card (LC PDS). All the machines w

Pretty sure there wasn’t one single model that did all this. The IIe card was for the LC PDS, but the DOS card was Nubus. A/UX didn’t run on the original LC (68020, no MMU) but it may have worked on later LC series machines. Edit. LC 6

Keep in mind that BeOS was released in 1995. BeOS had pervasive multithreading and a slick UI. The BeBox had dual CPUs, a novelty at the time and many years before multi-core CPUs. Linux was still very new, and didn't have much of a G

The problem is that when they start using $PLATFORM, they realize that it can't do many of the things that they've taken for granted since $EARLY_YEAR.

Is it possible to make a non-terrible MDM? Not a particular area of expertise for me, but the times I've had to deal with it just seemed like an inherently complex and messy problem.
