The mac comes with 256 GB though, and 256 > 1

Support for M1 and M2 is pretty good now but M3 is not quite there yet and it’ll probably be years before everything works nicely on M4, sadly

Sure, I agree

Agreed with the privacy concerns but

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

This is huge when there are five 787s worth of people in line for ten passport control machines, it’s the difference between waiting half an hour in line or five minutes.

It is the standard means of passport control in Europe and UK, just with the passport added, but all by machine. Once they are convinced the biometrics are good enough they’ll do this too to speed things up.

Building massive production capacity to replace all the cars just locks us in to having cars though

Idk (I’m not op) but I think when people say “can I install Linux on this” everyone knows they mean gnu/Linux. Yes, if I’m picking a container base image obviously alpine is also Linux, and if we’re talking about kernels then Android is too. But if we’re talking about desktop OSes then I think it’s close enough.

Yes, if you have a domain you can catch all emails being sent there even if you don’t know the name - having the domain means controlling the bit after the @, so every email address with that ending.

Everyone’s level of clever/readable is different

They couldn’t give less of a shit about the 7 people in the world that use pi-holes

Even if it was it wouldn’t be worth it

Who cares lmao

That’s not a source. By that metric every American AV has an NSA backdoor. And, ok, both of these are probably true tbh. But Kaspersky publishes extremely good security research and analysis which is just technical and totally possible to verify independently, so there’s no reason to avoid those, even if you don’t want to use their software.

Yes, it’s pure unfiltered bullshit. A time honoured way to get investment tbh

No that’s correct

I agree with all of that, there’s no need to claim that I’d prefer people “shut up”. Yes, things will keep getting worse, probably for quite a while. Probably a serious percentage of people will die avoidable deaths. But I sincerely doubt society will crumble. It’s been through worse. Society didn’t crumble in the black plague, when two thirds of the population died a horrible death. It will be a shittier life than we were used to last century, but not the apocalypse, and people will still grow old, and need to retire.

That’s what they said then too

no one says no profits should be had at all.

Actually quite a few of us do say that

It stands about twice as high as everything around it and it’s capped with snow in the summer too (hence the name), it’s iconic af

I thought it was about having some browser extension that clicks ads on sites without showing the ads to the user. Like a kind of “best of both worlds” for adblocking. So if it’s some blog they read often the ad revenue is probably more like $1 per year.

If you were to use Facebook they can make money off your views even without clicks, just not as much.
