>In my experience, installing alternate OS's on Mac hardware has never been frictionless or satisfying anyway.

It would be if they take some effort to support it.

I hope Apple allows us to install the OS of our choice. The battery life is impressive but I refuse to not use Linux.

aero-glide··on In Finland the average amount of data transferred per SIM card is 17.3GB/month
Indian here. I just use the 3GB/day plan + 50GB top-ups when required. I get a constant 40-50Mbps. My monthly average is around 100GB. Internet cost is around $8 for 55 days. 50GB top-ups cost an extra $4.

aero-glide··on XB-1 Supersonic Rollout
That 150,000 miles is same as the emissions of 70 average Americans. And Elon isn't the only one to use that jet. Its used to shuttle his employees too.

Aviation industry is responsible for 2.8% of global emissions, but it is portrayed as the villan. Btw, Boom Supersonic is looking into synthetic fuels to stay carbon neutral.

Was bored so tried the math. Assume small town is 5000 people. 5000 * 20tons co2 (average US emissions per capita) = 100,000 tons of co2/year.

Cessna Citation produces 6 tons for every 3 hour flight. Lets say, there are 3 people each flight. So 2 tons per person per flight. If someone takes the private jet _every day of the year_, thats 700 tons. Still a far cry from 100,000 tons from a small town.
