Actually, saying you don’t know, when you do, in the right context is a great teaching utility with kids.

They could ask like, why something is or does and while you know the answer, it’s much better to foster their curiosity and help then learn and understand instead of just giving the answer.

With the time machine plot I didn’t even question the massive exposed brain.

It’s hair…

I mean, that’s been an accurate statement for decades.

Mr. and Mrs. Dink, from the 90s cartoon ‘Doug’… Was that deliberate or a coincidence!?

I’ll be honest, I had no idea he was supposed to considered a comedian. I’ve only known him as an HBO political talk show host.

Might be faster to pick up the phone and have someone describe the software to you, lol.

I miss that show. I also miss that era of YouTube.

Yahoo and Facebook are still very much around. But they’re nothing like when they were on top.

Minnesota checking in. This is exactly correct. Great time for sitting around a fire.

If Apple ever actually entered the gaming market, (and I probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than them joining the gaming market)… I would fully expect that specific parts namely the GPU will have to be Apple approved. Probably nothing more than a small chip that authenticates it as Apple approved, much like they do with their laptops and cell phones currently. So if you think GPU price is are high the exact same GPU but Apple approved will have even higher cost. Because Apple is just a fashion brand really you’re going to pay the fashion tax.

I honestly can’t see that big of a market for this. A 4090 is supposed to be $1,600 MSRP. I would fully expect the Apple version of that to be $2,000 MSRP at minimum for the same product just with the Apple approved stamp.

That won’t be the solution forever. They’ll put an always online requirement soon.

So buy more!

personal attacks are not a good look, however veiled.

Wait, isn’t this you?

Try again chump.

Rules for thee, but not for me it seems eh. I do not apologize because you feel “personally attacked” because I pointed out, with links to Apples anti-consumer behavior, to Apples predatory behavior with developers, and Apple having to address the suicide/slavery. That’s on you.

You find me a big tech manufacturer that’s squeaky clean and I’ll give you that one.

None of them are squeaky clean. No company is anywhere. But I can go into say Microcenter, and pick parts from various brands, they all work together and I can build a computer I’m happy with in the end. Something literally impossible with Apple products.

As for software, I don’t really use anything that’s not also available on at least some of the other platforms you mention. I’m not signed into my Apple ID on it, I only use Chrome on it to get the software I use.

Then you need a Chromebook. Or could use Linux. But unless your spoofing your user agent, everyone you connect to with on a browser, absolutely knows where it came from. It’s not like, if I don’t sign in with a Microsoft account, all of a sudden I’m going to pull a fast one on Steam.

I’m well aware of the issues but you thinking I’m somehow worse than anyone using a PC with Windows or whatever is just naive.

So your aware of the issues, ignore them and then use a straw-man argument. The slave labor being used in Apple is fine because… Windows… Ok.

And to top it all, you think I made some kind of attack on those who don’t like Apple.

Nope. I re-read my post, unsure where you go that from.

Again, it’s not looking good for you and you’re doing the heavy lifting for me.

Right, fuck me, I provided sources from various people. Clearly a bad look because I did research and presented evidence to my argument. And you think your on the moral/ethical high ground here, especially after you clearly are unbothered by the slave labor. But I need to be worried about my look to… who exactly? Apple? You? Who exactly do I need to ensure I have a “good look” for?

Yeah, this really overlooks a lot of stuff.

it seems that the solar car’s rear can be expanded for more space inside

The sun is in front of the car, with the rounded body the largest solar panel wouldn’t be getting a lot of direct sunlight. Solar panels efficiency is directly linked to the angle of it and the sun. But the writer assumes it’s for “space” and not for better solar generation. This level of “journalism” leaves a lot to be desired and feels like a lot of the more important details were overlooked.

Reply, that you’d be happy to provide your e-mail. but first, you must verify them, my having them provide an e-mail.

Don’t fanboi over any one system/supplier/etc. Really all you can do. There’s no perfect brand, OS, etc. There’s better choices, but no clear winner.
