Maybe the title should be "Don't be Poor in America" . If you're rich then there's really no issue.

I don't know about most, but many do. Yeah. Some people just can't work in other people's code at all.

That's pretty cool!

Nintendo is a close 2nd. They can keep selling the same damn game every 5 years and people will keep buying while complaining about it. Their consumers just can't help themselves. They think if they just buy Ocarina of Time one more time with newer graphics that they'll be able to fill the void in their life. But for Nintendo it's all gravy.

Wow, if you can't get a buddy to use it for free... this really is not the same league as the iPhone.

My buddy hasn't used it to do any work in a while. Only uses it every now and then to watch movies.

That's true. Even a slight memory or storage bump up is more than if you were to DIY. I guess convenience is where they get you.

Never understood the people who keep saying Macbooks are expensive. They make it sound like unreasonably expensive. Sure maybe before the Intel Macs in 2006. But for the last 20 years they've been not the cheapest but not the most expensive either.

And when you factor all the time you waste on Windows, especially at the time Windows Vista, which had insane memory requirements, and compared them to Mac Os (X at the time) which ran pretty good on the cheapest models, and factored in the fact that OS upgrades were free, it ended up being on par if not better proposition. (Assuming you're not trying to run some exclusively Windows software on it or gaming).

And with the MacBook Neo. Forget it about it. It's almost, just almost a foregone conclusion for an entry machine that it is a much better proposition.

Does Apple have a lot of overpriced products. Yes, yes they do. But they it also doesn't mean you had to buy it either.

I'd love to see to see this game remade and released. I'd buy it in a second.

I always thought it was a shame that Dropbox never had a tier between its free tier which is not usable and its first paid tier. I would've gladly paid around $3, $5 for a few tens of Gigs of storage, but the almost $10 per month is too much. Then Apple iCloud came and filled that gap beautifully. So I give them my money.

I feel like they left a lot of money on the table.

Wozniak is a man of the people.

I'll have to read it. Always wondered how this very influential OS and machine got created.

In Spanish our Hughs are Hugos

Shoulda called it the Bookgle

That is the coolest graphing calculator I've ever seen.

They had TI-85's in late '90s? I remember there only being TI-83s.

Reminds me of the Godfather and how they called Tom Hagen not a "wartime consigliere". This was at a time when conflicts were starting up again and Vito had just been gunned down. Tim is Tom. Steve was Vito.

When Steve Jobs came back in 1997 Apple was against the ropes and they needed some radical change lest they sink.

But after they stabilized around 2010s then they didn't need radical shakeups but to maintain the good thing they got going. Tim was the man for that. And he did it well.

And yes I get that in this case one is a consigliere and one is the Don but there's similarity here.

I believe that book would be called: "History of Tmux"

Thanks for the reference.

And quite a few of them like to mix their religion with politics.

The two things they told us not to talk about at the dinner table in order to have a better experience.

Maybe it was solid advice after all.

First thanksgiving dinner?

Ironically I have noticed it's techies and white collar workers who fear and/or loathe AI the most. Why? Cause they're the most likely whose jobs have been threatened by it or have already been superseded by it.

My blue collar work buddies don't feel as strongly or as existential about it. To them, it's just this buzzwordy crap that has ruined entertainment or made the quality of services even worse. It's more of an annoyance than an outright fear and/or loathing of it.

Maybe if the bubble pops and the economy tanks and it affects their bottom line they might hate it as much as the aforementioned people.

Bruh

Money to be made there. But then it would be a job.

I kid you not one time I saw the Netherlands spelled as: The 'Neanderthals' . I had such a good laugh. Almost choked on my coffee.

I just called them the Dutches. lol

+1 star for ttul

Chuck Norris decided to take the final sleep on his own. Death tried years ago, but Chuck didn't feel like it.

Yeah, same here. This stuff is cool. Wish I'd had a mentor.

I wonder if this is a way for them to take a situation like the RAM shortage and spin it into a way to sell more products with little memory to mask the expensive price of memory by bundling it with the outer shell of the laptop rather than try to sell a few PRO laptops whose price is now very jacked up because of the expensive memory.
