lol. You know. Pathetic. Another one for block list.

That big flushing sound next to BC.

Apple seems to have it figured out, my last two iPhones have had OLED screens and I never saw any burn-in despite having them on a lot and fairly bright.

I’m going to watch BBC coverage. The best way to watch US elections is from another continent.

Indeed. People who can’t cope with the absolute smallest of inconveniences ever show their inability to deal with the modern world.

Can I count you among them then?

Ah well. I’m an Apple user and I own stock in them. I’m on both sides of this fence.

Now work profits over time into that equation and you’re getting it.

They make far more money selling entirely new computer hardware with integrated memory. They charge a fairly steep price for memory and I’m sure their fab costs are nowhere near that.

Banging out a new CPU with different amounts of memory is relatively cheap, not like they’re redesigning from scratch to throw in a few more memory components. Memory is simple and predictable.

If I was them I’d make a single chip with 32-64GB of RAM and just blow fuses to the necessary sizes to make it cheap, but although that makes sense for manufacturing it’s a PR issue down the road when someone finds out.

It’s handy as a litmus test for those too delicate to survive.

If a one hour change fractures your entire fragile life then I have nothing but contempt for you.

I don’t really care about it other than for being useful to identify whiners.

Oh my, the fragile came out in droves for this one. It’s awesome. Blocking every single one of you as useless to the modern world. 🤣

Just let them take it out and see how much it impacts traffic and let the provincial government stew on those results at election time.

Unless the voters are dumb enough to fall for this stuff.

Just lol. That is all. Idiots.

Then you have to ask how would that change benefit Apple?

If there’s no significant benefit they won’t do it.

You can bet that when Kamala wins in the US the liberals will elect an indigenous female just because that’s what they do. As long as she’s competent no problem but if it’s a diversity hire, screw them.

I’m centre in general and either slightly left or slightly right depending on the issue. Rampant political correctness and nanny government pisses me off something fierce though.

These don’t use DDR5 memory. It’s all on the silicon with the CPU. The same pricing rules don’t apply.

And Mac users tend to be less “price sensitive” than PC users. My M4 Mac mini will be here next week. 24GB should be just fine on it.

Happily work is footing the entire bill for it, including a new monitor so it’s a pretty sweet upgrade for me.

Always vote.

Voting doesn’t guarantee your voice will be heard, but not voting does guarantee your voice will not be heard.

Simple.

Definitely waiting until after the US election to see who would be the best replacement.

But pullling the rug out from the cons right before the election would be awesome to see them flail around uselessly like the republicans are.

This is the sort of not on device service that is very valuable.

A family member of mine was lucky to survive on a boating trip in a remote area when their canoe overturned and they had to continue on with wet clothes in cold weather. Fortunately they found a remote house to call for help. If this type of service was available they could’ve just waited safely for help.

I don’t believe Apple will ever charge for this. If someone was to die from not having a service plan it would be a PR disaster and it’s not a huge cost for them if they have a decent partnership agreement.

I’m still salty they killed aperture. It was amazing photo library management software for pros. Photos is just consumer level trash.

There are definitely some that care much less about women, kids, and education though.

Think of it this way - If shit was going down and there’s a room full of liberals and a room full of cons, and you had to put your family in one room or another and trust them, who is selfish and is going to only think of themselves and ditch your family?

Hint: cons.

It’s very possible to do amazing ports. I was blown away by the Alien Isolation port on iOS. There just has to be a market to justify the work. And if iOS ports can be recompiled for Macs (and they can) so much the better.

Because ratboy wouldn’t get elected?
