Those were great and 1070 was a great deal. Upgraded to a 3080 from 1070 last year, they are quite reasonably priced now.

Not sure what you mean. Had a mk 4 or what the last one was - excellent. Now on core one (or what the name is for the enclosed one), also great.

buying alcohol without showing an ID might be possible in many places, but it's not a universal right.

It gets better quite quickly though.

Like all the big companies: no social responsibility, only make more money. Not to employees, not to countries they operate in, not to users. Pure greed.

I did :) unfortunately approximately as many apps as on BeOS earlier :). Maybe with vibe coding it will get better this time.

Very enjoyable article. Never had a Be box, but used beos a bit around 2000 - when it was free to download. It felt great, shame there were no apps. Maybe if vibe coding was available then, it would have done much better. Loved the hardware part of the story - I just got a mac studio on sale and after many years of laptops, remembered how much fun it is to have things on a desk, permanently connected. I was cleaning up my vintage hardware, selling some old MBs after all full PCs were gone - had two dual processor pentium pro and pentium II workstations. Connected a USB to SATA/IDE/floppy connector, went through all old HDDs before recycling them - was such a joy to have desk space, not just my portable do-it-all.

Anyway, computers should be fun and this story definitely brings that across. Thank you!

Many PCIe4 or 5 drives

There was some article today claiming the updated versions won't launch before October.

Or it could be the same CPU as in pro/max with more GPU chiplets.

When I try to launch system settings through spotlight, it launches system info. They have the same prefix, but that's no excuse. Never happened since Tiger or so.

When you do business in a country and pay taxes (lol), you expect to be defended by said country in return, no?

In both Paris and Anaheim they could double the park space by moving parking underground :)

If you care about your data, don't trust a backup system that already failed before. This is simpler and easy to verify:

You can also get any AI tool create a good backup script for your particular setup.

one of the biggest overall dangers of this technology aside from mass unemployment and making my RAM cost too much.

That's a beauty.

Just tried with Lightroom - sometimes the pointer changes, sometimes it doesn't and stays as the normal arrow. Sometimes it allows resizing in height and width, other times only one of them.

what about iCloud and News?

Rumors = the author just made something up

China blocked (many) US companies though, that enabled/forced the local companies to fill the void.

Where? I see them for 30-40.

The ruling says Apple can:

insist on Apple IAP links/buttons to be the same as buttons/links to external payments. But they can't ask for the outgoing links/buttons to be less prominent

charge for links/buttons to external payment, but not as they please. One interpretation is that it has to be based on real cost and can't in any way be tied to IAP costs.

can't use scare screens on external purchases

After a year or two is exaggerating - it's rare to see issues within 5 years.

That's a very pessimistic take. I recently sold a Sonos connect - about 15 years old if not older and working as well as when it was new. I have a Google home max speaker, 8 years old, works flawlessly. We have a pair of B&W speakers from 2001 or so - got the speaker insulation replaced, otherwise everything great. And a 5.1 set from Logitech from 2005 also works without issues - the difficult part is to only make sure the PC has the right outputs, but even that is moot with USB sound cards. We also have some cheap monitor speakers, they work fine after 7 years.

This has been creeping in since early 2000s.

They just launched the 2026 version, so good timing.

LLMs to the rescue :)

Had a 2006 or so XC90, everything was great. Now driving a 2016 XC90, had one issue with the engine cooling, was repaired in a day, 0 issues otherwise.

90k / year is not a millionaire, if it's pre-tax. With 35% tax (picked a random reasonable sounding number), it would take 17years to earn a million if you have 0 expenses.
