I agree! I was recently musing with a relative that the short-lived large-single-patty Big Mac a couple years ago was more appealing to me than the typical version. She mentioned reading that it may be coming back? But at that point maybe j

I have come to sometimes like anchovies on pizza (or a salad) but I ordered one for delivery about 10 months ago and the place actually called me up and asked if I was sure. Maybe they get complaints!

The current best practice is to have already been using an Apple device, and this will enhance that.

yes, air pressure and thus propagation speed varies with temperature. Colder air is denser, and thus faster to sound. But this is probably not a huge difference for sound as compared to airfoil performance.

It runs some kind of A13, so similar to an iPhone 11. But it may not be a fully capable version of that chip. All retail 'Apple Silicon' Macs use a version of M1, which is more of an enhanced A14. It might be similar to the Apple

I always use Apple Maps, but once in a while if I'm in an unfamiliar city and the Apple Maps directions seem suspiciously weird, it is useful to have Google Maps app for a sanity check. (directions to a particular pier at the Seattle w

One would hope so, but it's generally thought that removing the nuclear reactors require so much structural demolition that it wouldn't be in any shape to be a museum afterwards. The USS Enterprise CVN-65 is the first nuclear airc

It was in service for 48 years. It was built in the late 1950's, so it is even much older.

Every Mac mini has had a fan. The 2018 Intel version and the M1 version use a lot of the small internal space for a large fan.

I don't know about the early versions, but I believe the final version of IE for Mac, though also numbered 5, used an entirely different browser engine from that on Windows. Tasman http://jimmy.grew.al/macie5-twentieth-

It is pretty well available — and quickly — via piracy means, which I have always thought interesting for its somewhat esoteric content.

Wow — before I finished reading your post, I said to myself, "it must be Aramark". I am surprised it is a different company, but not surprised that it's similar.

At first I read this as upstream vs downstream, which USB-A and USB-B connectors did illustrate, but usually not for much purpose. What the other poster means is cable orientation. Especially the FW-400 plug was very obviously asymmetrical

The current 2020/2018 (they are the same) Mac mini does use DIMMs, but it is not easy to entirely disassemble the computer to replace the RAM. Some (2014?) Mac minis didn't have replaceable memory at all. The 27" "regula

It seems very important to Apple to get the T2 (similar to an iPhone 7 CPU) controller chip into all the Macs. But it seems unable to accomodate internal HDD or Fusion drives. And Most of the 21.5" models are bargain basement (as far a

The Mac mini is a vital part of the lineup, but it is so much of a utility computer. That's why they utilized it for the Developer Transition Kit. It's hard to market it since it's nearly invisible on a desk and there's
