That's an excuse, not a reason. If you don't understand regulatory capture, then you're not paying attention.

Workers forget they're basically underpaid chattel.

Videos from Louis Rossmann convinced me modern MBPs are beyond awful: https://www.youtube.com/user/rossmanngroup

macOS and most apps have nice UX and mostly work well together. Docker usually works on top of the built-in macOS intel-origin hypervisor. (VMware Fusion is another $olid option for $$; had problems with VirtualBox.)

What's neat about the T480 is there's an utility on the Windows partition to flash the BIOS startup boot logo from red "Lenovo" to whatever you want.

It's modern art and worth millions. And I hear Jim Carrey is submitting packages to CPAN now.

When people retire, they get doubly depressed from age and if they don't have structure and activities to keep them occupied. It's best to never "retire," not because of cognitive "use it or lose it" (which was disproven[1]) but because of the harms of slipping into depression.

For example, my step-father was a copy editor for a large government body who was initially happy/go-lucky on retirement initially but is now extremely self-isolated and depressed.

People see what they want to see (confirmation bias) and delude themselves and gaslight others into maintaining a great lie. Then there's people who actually go out into the world and are more honest about reality.

Chilling effects. Damn. Surprised this news hasn't made it to sites like TruthDig or Democracy Now yet.

Interpreting a Banksy as Perl should hack the DNC and GOP to give all their money to charities.

The workhorse oldie-but-goodie A1278 MBP mid-2012 non-Retina supports 16 GiB and two SSD's (one in the optical bay, and one in the HDD bay).

The Lenovo T480 supports 64 GiB. A 13" hackintosh-friendly laptop with:

- dual m.2 slots

- WQHD 2560 x 1440

- Thunderbolt 3

- water-resistant keyboard with drains

- 9 hours of battery life with the second, extended battery

- officially user-serviceable parts/guides

- & 64 GB!

The iPhone 6S, even with the headphone jack, is IP67 in all but name but didn't sell it as a feature... it has all the gaskets of the 7 but supposedly the headphone jack was an issue... mine's been in the shower a few times for YouTube morning news and still works.

You can make any data & charging connector USB-C magnetic & right-angle for $30. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-C-L-Tip-Magnetic-Adapter...

Yes... Media they've used, sometimes that they've created themselves or used that's clearly in the public domain, has been content ID'ed by others in an attempt to extort them. It's gotten to the point where on YT one basically has to have a pointless media channel to upload original music / video to content ID before using it in other videos.

Ditto. Head-scratching, elitist jingoisms tend to signal an antipattern of business theater.

Plainspeak > newspeak.

EEVblog and CodysLab come to mind on an unrelated but annoying scam that YouTube hasn't addressed sufficiently. Shouldn't there be a class-action against YouTube for the scammy gambit of allowing random people to claim content ID of works they don't own and then attack the original creators? This scam alone threatens to kick thousands of legitimate content creators off while enriching shady corporations and outright criminals. It seems like the only way to get YT to get their act together regarding measurably improving "who owns what."

Yeap. I wouldn't say lessening unilaterally but with the nuance of changing the attack surface in different areas. IIRC "Hands Off!" is a firewall and an app firewall that can selectively limit disk and network access.

Not sure about the vulnerability of it, but it sounds like an unhandled race-condition.

The problem isn't solely other cars, Ubers or any other scapegoats; it's the layout of American cities making MOST of them purposefully unwalkable and the destruction/atrophy of public transportation, leading to long commutes and gridlock. Recall that the auto makers bought/legislated their way to destroy an once vibrant local tram infrastructure in America. One "quick-fix panacea solution" isn't going to do much; it's going to take a concerted effort of many, integrated, holistic solutions to make things better.

Well, to be fair, he's in a similar (but less wingnut/out-of-touch) boat as John McAfee: the media decided they're celebrities so they hang on their every word.

It almost got a summer job and a learners' permit. Sad day. :'(

Just got mine on the Presidents' Day sale. Not Linux rn but as a Hackintosh it's working pretty well apart from SD card reader, not reading fan sensors in iStat Menus / HWMonitor / Mac Fan Control and slow WiFi after sleep. iMessage, FaceTime, most Synaptics gestures working fine.

- 20L5

- WQHD

- larger extended battery

- Quad-core i7-5550U

- lighted keyboard

- 16 GiB (will upgrade later to 32 or 64 if unofficially-supported)

- Swapped WiFi to DW1830 and added a third antenna

- Samsung 970 Pro 1 TB + Lenovo SSD tray (took off the retail SSD label on one side for the heat-spreader thermal adhesive)

Looking on Amazon/eBay/AliExpress for vinyl art (Banksy perhaps) to cover up the ThinkPad logo or maybe having it vinyl wrapped with the stuff used on cars (heat-shrunk).

MBP refugee here.

Lenovo T480: real-life 11 hour battery w/ the second extended battery, lighted/water-resistant/good-feel keyboard, WQHD display, up to 32 (maybe 64 unofficially) GiB of RAM, Quad-core i7, MIL-SPEC rated, still user-servicable. It's not the latest in everything but it's awesome all-around. And, if you somehow find the right channel to order from, you maybe able to order it in a magnesium (!) top-case. There maybe a way to shoehorn in 3 SSDs of different types by using a dual SSD SATA tray that RAIDs them together and presents them as SATA and the WWAN bay with a properly-keyed right-angle NGFF extender.
