There’s a big difference between “heated” and “burnt” tobacco. Same as with weed vaporization vs smoking, vaporization is much healthier compared to inhaling burnt plant material.

Well, it’s a disorder, it’s right in the name.

If people “liked” it, they wouldn’t be taking meds to help them function.

I’m not hating, just think we should take things for what they are

Edit: sorry, thought we were talking about ADHD

Quick correction, the Pi5 is the new one

It’s illegal if the fact that a service fee would be added wasn’t shared before ordering (on the menu / by the waiter /…)

Knife, scissors, stuff like that probably

It gives them a loot more than ad watchers though. Especially on longer videos (it’s based on watch time)

Worst case, they can keep chugging along without any changes, except maybe stopping the donation “nag”.

It’s honestly kinda perplexing.

Everyone keeps talking about taxing the rich but when someone offers to give a nonprofit we all love a billion dollars it’s suddenly the worst thing on the planet.

If the deal were real of course

Honestly, they’d be stupid not to take it.

Imagine how much you could do with a billion. It’d perpetually sustain the organization, it’d allow them to hire translators and writers, resulting in better content for all of us.

Hell, I’d take it, and 99.9% of people on this planet would too.

It being a status symbol becomes kind of irelevant if every other person has it

Consider the alternative

Source for the revenue? Was only able to find figures in the $50-70bil range.

Profit $20-30bil.

Do you understand the case enough to make a more accurate judgement based on the relevant laws? I don’t, but believe that the court does.

Yes

Windows on ARM is really incomparable to MacOS on ARM, it’s like comparing a 15yos Hello World to a senior engineer’s 10yo project.

Yes, for simple web browsing ChromeOS is just fine, but you can do so much more with a fullblown system. The performance is also in another league.

I honestly would say that the 16GB mbAir is good value, if it fits your use case (no gaming / heavy x86-only programs).

Don’t forget Apple makes a shitton of money from services (AppStore, iCloud…), which often make a lot more money than hardware (so Sammy is at a disadvantage here).

I’m not trying to convince you the Apple’s awesome, I don’t think that myself either (on the contrary), but their chips just are pretty awesome

They’ve built a translation layer in for compatibility, though it’s not perfectly fast, it’s more than good enough from what I’ve heard.

It being Unix based definitely helps, though don’t doubt Apple wouldn’t have been able to deal with it if that weren’t the case.

The chips really shine in laptops, I’d say desktops are a bit weaker, unless you’re doing something heavily optimized (Final Cut Pro f.e.).

The biggest win is energy consumption, the difference is insane, I recommend you look up a benchmark or two, can range from 2 to 10x more efficient.

I honestly don’t agree though that they’re 3x the price of comparable products, the new Macbook Airs are pretty solid pieces of hardware for an okay sum of money. It really depends on your workload though, if you’re gaming, you’re gonna have a terrible time, if you’re a dev / work in the browser / do some light editing you’re gonna love the battery life and perf’s not gonna hold you back.

They use ARM now, which is super efficient, the laptops last forever on battery.

If there’s one thing Apple’s done right, it’s Apple Silicon

$350 in hardware sure, hardware that someone had to design and especially nowadays with Apple Silicon, that shit doesn’t come cheap

So you bought a bike?

Think I remember hearing that some Ilyrians chose to undo their modifications in order to be able to integrate with the Federation.

And that when a planet with modified Ilyrians joined the Federation, those, who were augmented became second class citizens who were look down upon, so my bet is on a full on Federation ban.
