  I spent about a year arguing with C-levels that our fleet running 8GB was slowing down productivity, with evidence to prove it. It was like pulling teeth to procure some SODIMMs.

  I’d still say this article is coming at things from the wrong perspective. That $700 Walmart M1 MBA is more than adequate for most kids doing school work, and/or grandparents farting around on FB. If you have a family and had to grab a few identical laptops, and you aren’t able/willing to be tech support, it really makes a lot of sense financially.

  On my device that’s one of those websites that don’t allow using the Back button.

  Neat.

  Hey, are you doing okay?

  Haven’t seen a particularly good BF deal in quite a few years.

  Still punch the clerk at KMart though, it’s tradition.

  So here’s my perspective, as somebody who took many years of struggle and therapy to come to grips with the idea that I was abused and raped by a romantic partner:

  For the person from the position of power, or a third party, you don’t get to decide the reality of the person experiencing the suffering. For the person it’s happening to - whatever their suffering is, it’s valid and real. That doesn’t belittle someone who has experienced worse. Everyone has their personal struggles. We’d all do better to consider other people’s experiences as valid and come at disagreements from a desire to learn and care.

  Arguing for the sake of arguing is furiously jacking off your privilege boner for no real progress or useful outcome, other than feeling superior to someone lesser than you.

  I have no earthly idea the context of why you’re asking though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple’s “carbon neutral” claims are facing increased scrutiny⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Storage and RAM not being user upgradable is an environmental nightmare for sustainability.

  Not having internal slots for storage and relying on USB or NAS is not an appropriate alternative for professionals regardless of what their leadership says is what professionals want.

  We’ll never know, but RAM being part of the SoC is probably contributing substantially to their performance capabilities compared to competition. The only real way to know that probably requires being an engineer at Apple. I’d wager $3.50 that they’d get a substantial performance deficit from switching to DIMMs, and that terrifies them since that would further push everyone to x86 workstations.

  This is the angle that makes me reconsider folding phones. Either fold direction, and you’ve got a smaller screen that’s usable in one hand.

  I’ve seen the innards of a KG.

  You’ll get like 20 miles of range with the battery packs you might be able to squeeze into some hidey holes.

  Who wants to take bets on how long it will be until F099 is taken down?

  I’ve got a tenner on 01/01/24.

  The Chao Garden is an aesthetic.

  Always made me feel weird no one has really tried to replicate that again.
