I still don’t know how people manage to fray those things. I used my 2013 for 10 yrs and the cable is still like new. They’re built pretty well. However, I do appreciate that the new ones are just usbc cables that plug into the brick so you can swap the cable if it does start to wear. Or so you can use MagSafe cables on non-apple power supplies.

Anyone self host this? Especially in Kubernetes? Seems pretty interesting and it’s already containerized.

By “screen time” the article seems to assume the only thing they’re doing on their screens is social media. I had to check as if it was really just screens for more than 4hrs, that’s an interesting stat I hadn’t heard, but could make some sense. However, that’s not it. So doing things like content creation (drawing, writing, photography) reading or learning, aren’t counted in this study.

It’s a support question. It may cost $2k more for a Mac, but if it’s officially supported, auto patched, remote managed and they can prove it with security tools, force patching and restrict users, use standard well known tools for compliance and security monitoring/administration/etc, they will easily save thousands in corp licensing, training costs and legal costs. That $2k+ really becomes negligible.

MacOS. Systems doesn’t want to support Linux, and the only other option is windows 11. A few of my coworkers have Win11 with WSL and fight it every single day. They’re diehard windows people who have been seriously considering moving to MacOS for their next round of upgrades.

Ergonomically, I’m not sure that’s better. Sure they don’t have weight on them that the headset would add, but being able to freely move your head without holding it against a stationary headset would be quite an improvement.

Paperless doesn’t necessarily require biometric data… still, I’ll just skip Singapore.

At the moment it sounds optional, so that’s a plus.

Also:

The previous average clearance time for each traveller was 25 seconds, said ICA.

So, 15s saved per person. Which is handy, but 25 seconds fits squarely in the “blazing fast” category anyway.

Bet the people will spend more than 15s per person dealing with the ramifications of their biometric data getting leaked and used against them later though.

You used to be able to resell your PC games too, back in the day.

Why can’t PC games also come on discs? The last one I had the option to buy on disc I remember was Skyrim. When I put the disc in, it launched steam, connected my purchase to my account, and steam did the remainder of the install over the network. Turns out, it didn’t really have anything useful on disc.

I’ve had properly stored, professionally pressed, official DVD and CDROM’s suffer bit rot, become in playable and in one case explode into shards in my DVD-ROM drive. And it didn’t take decades, most were <7 years old. Don’t be so sure you have decades.

Well, that’s one way to put it, ‘eh?

No more than a 13yo who wants to get on the 12yo and younger playground because it’s the only one around and has a hella sweet slide.
