Bro do you even sysctl debug.mem_limit_enabled=0?

Will it blend?!

Workflow-wise, airdropping larger files can be finicky and slow, especially if students are involved in the process or if the WiFi network is slow.

Alternatively, instructors could use the standard USB sync feature to move sessions on or off the devices to any computer running iTunes. This might be more reliable and could give instructors a greater degree of creative flexibility re: what is backed up vs what students have direct access to.

Edit: my bad, didn’t check post date.

Ah I forgot the fruit schema for the colors! lol

Honestly some of the jelly style molded acrylic designs from that era were pretty sick, even by today’s standards. I remember the G4 cube with matching Harmon Kardon Soundsticks and display/keyboard/mouse as a standout example of a short lived concept that might still appear futuristic today.

Familiar byline from food marketing? I seem to recall a lot of fear mongering related to food coloring at the time (most of which turned out to be overblown) making that a cutesy/tongue-in-cheek headline coming from a tech company.

My apologies, I missed a few of your questions at the end.

• Yes, any USB4 rated cable can carry the TB protocol at whatever distance it’s rated for, otherwise it isn’t USB4.
• Likewise any TB3 cable should work for your application, if it’s actually TB3 rated.
• 3m is generally the max length I’ve seen. The theoretical limit may be higher but I suspect latency of the cable itself becomes a problem for PCIe tunneling, which is still a synchronous interface TMK.
• The TB controllers decide whether your cable is sufficient. They will negotiate a link if they can both verify a nominal link speed/multiple. So the lower rated USB cables won’t work for PCIe tunneling, even if your ultimate bandwidth requirements are minimal.

A few things to note if you’re shopping on places like AliExpress, eBay, Amazon, etc:

• Be wary of any long (active) TB/USB cable that’s cheaper than $30.
• Be wary of any cable that has a small connector, like one you would use to charge your phone, because the TB/USB4 connector itself must house an active signal repeater chip, making them chunkier and/or longer than usual.
• Similarly, the shielding requirements are fairly substantial, so the cable itself should be beefier than most USB cables.
• IME generally, PCIe over TB/USB can sometimes just be finicky. Of the 12 or 13 cables I’ve used with various combinations of machines, enclosures, docks and risers, there are occasionally some combinations that just don’t play nice, for whatever reason.

You may need an active TB3/4 cable. 30 cm is typically the longest passive cable you’ll see. Active cables are more expensive, though less so than they used to be, and can handle longer runs like 3 meters.

Agreed, though I think privacy strictness that disallows certificate checking might just skip MacOS entirely.

Privacy defaults on Apple systems are generally good — at least most potential risks are opt-in rather than opt-out, which the majority of vendors prefer — but without lockdown engaged MacOS has a lot of I/O that might not pass the strictest audits.

I think you can also register 10 years in advance, or maybe more depending on the registrar, which would cover all other potential snafus like expired card info.

I thought this was a DnD joke or something

The refined uranium IHS doubles your clicks per minute and facilitates exfoliation.

Wait, that was your takeaway? I understand cumulative frustration is hard to reverse, but it seems pretty solid that they accepted an RMA two years after purchase, reported test results, and replaced it.

As much as I try to resist brand loyalty, I feel like that kind of support experience would probably bring me back next time.

What is the breaker box in your analogy? Breaking legs?

lol I meant a [circuit] breaker box (aka power/ac panel, breaker panel, distribution board, etc)

So how do you suspend a license that the guy didn’t have?

It’s just a minor legal misnomer. If a defendant happens to not have a driver’s license in the first place, suspension could be more accurately termed “prevention.” Logistically speaking, the state probably just generates a stub file/account with a valid license number then just adds the suspension to that empty driving record.
