   Well, it wasn’t _always_ like this. Apple used to have unibody MacBooks with user replaceable batteries without even needing a screw driver.

   Objectively, the result is a mountain of e-waste. edit: and of course, "Mark as lost" is a separate thing from iCloud locking. That's the difference.

   The thing is that almost none of what I'm talking about are marked as stolen. They're just old devices bricked because they weren't removed from an account.

   The Elementary OS terminal has two function copy/paste. If text is selected it copies it, if not pass Ctrl+C to the terminal. It's a reasonable solution. For me it's the overall Command-key semantics that I miss when using Li

   They really have to stop this release cadence. It’s not working and hasn’t been working for so long.

   I encourage everyone who’s having a strong reaction to this to read through the statistics[0] of who is receiving this care. Perhaps consider why you don’t hear about the success stories. 0: https://www.canada.ca/en/hea

   People here are talking about this as if it’s the suicide booth from Futurama. It’s not. The overwhelming majority of cases are extensions of palliative care made by people of sound mind.

   I agree. I don't think the broader Arm ecosystem is comparable to the Apple-IBM-Motorola alliance of the Power era. Arm is ubiquitous in ways that Power never was. Even if Apple had to start buying chips from Qualcomm (yuck) they'

    There are so few choices for low profile standard layout keyboards with nice keycaps, and you ortholinear fans insist on having yet another? Come on.

    All of that could be done more elegantly with a row of LEDs like on the side of an old unibody MacBook.

    Controllers are really small these days and fit just fine in the gaps between keys (see link below for a typical example). It’s almost certainly mostly for the battery. https://rama.works/updates/2020/4/24&#x2

    A quick look on Wikipedia[0] shows that 14 GP/s is bad, but really not that bad. It's not like games from 10 years ago when that kind of fill rate was common all looked this bad. Consider that even the humble Xbox 360 had plenty o

    As an outsider of New York it’s pretty bleak to compare the shininess and opulence of all the new billionaire’s row towers to the decay and grime of the subway. It doesn’t have to be like this.

    I understand the sentiment, but I won’t accept the latency penalty. ISPs shouldn’t be doing dynamic prefix assignments anyway because it breaks too much.

    > monetizing stranded and/or temporary excess amounts of energy Please stop saying this. Aluminum refining or hydrogen electrolysis fits so much better and actually benefits society.

    Not everything needs to be monetized and microtransacted.

    That sounds more likely than this weird claim. > In June, CyberScoop reported claims that “radical ecologists” who oppose digitalization may be behind the attacks. I wouldn’t rule out a nation state “practice” attack though.

    The most believable part of the story is that the exec didn’t know Volkwagen Group had the rights to the name. The company is absolutely gargantuan. It’s a great move. Of the main VW brands I can’t think of one that I would associate with r
