  Conspiracy theory of mine - I’m European, so not sure if valid for the other side of the pond, but there was a massive campaign here to recycle the bottle caps by donating them for the creation of incubators for premature births. The local authorities placed massive donation boxes shaped like a heart and they were getting filled constantly. Then they started attaching the bottle caps to the bottle and somewhere deep inside I strongly believe that out there, there is an absolute evil cunt who only feels something when a baby dies, so he wants fewer donated caps, because deep inside he knows people don’t care enough to snap the cap off.

  Holy shit this is dope!

  But how did historians come up with the conclusion that, in the case of XIIX, the Romans substracted from the second X, and didn’t just write 12+10?

  Not arguing, just extremely curious

  Bro, have you seen what happens to metals when they are exposed for a prolonged period of time to dihydrogen monoxide?? This is crazy.

  Funny you should call it beet-flavor. Geosmin is literally the reason why beets have that flavour :)

  Depends on the easter egg though, no? Look up FF:06:B5 and see how deep is that for you.

  Tell me you haven’t dug deep into Cyberpunk 2077 without telling me you haven’t dug deep into Cyberpunk 2077.

  My dude, the easter eggs have easter eggs.

  They are doing the Nike mistake - they are targeting users that have already purchased a Mac. Data-driven decisions are great, but this would just result in alienating people who are not already customers, or chase people out who are unhappy with this decision, so their next purchase will not be a Mac.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I… uh… I know it’s going to be an unpopular opinion, but it makes sense. It’s not intended for daily usage - macs wake up on a keyboard or cursor movement. Sitting on the back increases the chance of accidental presses when you are trying to plug something in.

  You have a very few specific incidents where you would need to press the power button. 80% of their user base will not use the power button after the first initial press.

  I actually read somewhere that this is exactly the case they are making. It’s anti-consumer friendly or some dimwitted bulshit like that

  I would personally scrape it, remove the contact pads and resolder new ones.
