I don’t think my keyboard ever knew of swear words, I’ve always had to manually add them to the dictionary.

This is correct, and also still usable as a solution.

You can plug PCI devices into PCI X

as a person who is very familiar with how RF effects the human body at various frequencies and power, you will not see me holding one of these devices anywhere near my Central Nervous System. I would like to see 5G used as a rural high speed internet service instead.

Long range is literally the worst place to use 5G

I've been able to do this as a free user for as long as i can remember

That's a bummer, consider the impact of lithium battery production and how horrible that is for the environment.

For city dwellers I guess EVs make a lot of sense.

You can recycle batteries. You can't recycle CO2 emissions

That's false.

There is a concensus of climate change. That's it. Beyond that, it's contested heavily. What most people hear is politically correct hypothesis. Those hypothesese tends to fail.

No, the widely accepted theory is that CO2 is the primary contributor to climate change. There are other things that have more impact, but it is outweighed by the vast amount of CO2 we produce.

They are weak, they have almost no ports at all. Pretty much the description of a netbook....

 

Aside from the non-existent device market if we exclude the dongles?

 

Maybe i misinterpreted it, but its still true that it isnt better just because it supposed to be only 3.0 or above... (BTW i didnt see that much USB 2.0 in type A form so its pretty moot argument)

They really aren't that weak. They haven't been for a long time. Just because they're not gaming laptops doesn't mean they're weak. They come with quad core CPUs now. That's nothing to scoff at.

Also, the device market is pretty healthy. There are options to get pretty much everything in USB C at this point.

And honestly i have no idea what you even mean in your third point.

The craptastic dongle fest going on is enough to call it dumb, plus there is no device that could use the extra speed it has over typa A.... As for the rest its only beneficial on phones.

You would need dongles to use a surface anyway. USB C is superior in literally every single way. Unless you have a thunderbolt monitor from 10 years ago, you'll need a dongle to use that MDP port.

(FIFY) I do not buy netbooks so no issue there .

Netbooks don't really exist anymore. Ultrabooks and netbooks are distinctly different categories. Stop being obstinate.

Then its not faster it just lacks backwards compatibility...

This is just wrong. The first USB C devices to come out (Nokia N1 in particular) were about 50% USB 2.0.

Does he automatically get put back into the Director's chair after the 3 years or does he need to be re-promoted by the board?

I thought Sony has essentially left the smartphone market? There's too much competition and I feel like I never hear about them.

They sell really well in Japan

Stop being obtuse. I obviously meant the process of normally disputing a property value. Intentionally lying (YES LYING) about property value is not the same as just disputing it. And dont try to say they aren't lying. No one, LITERALLY NO ONE would actually value that property at $200

Literally the entire point is to lowball so that the government forced to respond with a better value. If they don't respond, then the tax value becomes 200 dollars. That's the point.

Right but the claim was that Google is using this tactic, namely MASSIVELY and purposefully undervaluing property. Disputing assessments is not the same thing

That's literally exactly what apple is doing. The property was given a value, they disputed the value, claiming it was actually 200 dollars.

49 minutes ago, Swatson said:

Oh yea I'm sure Google lists their property values in the hundreds of dollars

They do. This is a standard negotiating tactic.

That's called tax evasion, if I claimed I only made $200 last financial year instead of $70k the tax office would be on my ass.

 

Who in their right mind in any kind of capacity would accept that building is worth $200? There is no need for a placeholder when valuations exist. You don't run a trillion dollar company and not know what your HQ is worth

Except this is just an application. They're not filing the value as 200 dollars, they're filing an application and that's their initial valuation. The town will come back with the actual valuation and apple will be forced to accept. If the town doesn't come back with an actual valuation then 200 dollars will be the tax value. That's why they do this.

The writing has been on the wall for a very long time.

It's been at least a year since they had to stop taking custom orders. They've been behind on case orders for even longer. It was only a matter of time.

I wish they could have pulled through, but i also wish this was a surprise.

I am planning to do a raid 10

If you want expandability, that's not the way to do it. Raid 5/6 is more economical as well.

Gigabit is only 125mbps, I am looking for 500

I realized that as soon as i hit submit.

Still it's not at all difficult. If you're using 100MB/s as a baseline per drive, Then a 7 drive RAID 6 or 6 Drive RAID 5 should be able to do it pretty easily

Really not all that difficult.

I have 6 slow old 1TB drives in Raid 5 and it saturates a gigabit connection

Edit: JK, 100MB/s is already Gigabit

Is it even USB C? It doesn't really look like it

Rest in peace Blue. We'll bury you in the same ditch as Jaybird and Saitek ended up in

Not really worried about it.

It also means the government or someone who stole the laptop can't recover data either

$6000 is the price of a fully specced out model with 4TB of SSD storage. 

 

It's closer to $3000. Still expensive 

6700 dollars is the price of the fully specced out model.

The i9 but otherwise base is 3100. The base price, as it has been since 2016, is 2400.

Since there's a gui program that "just works" and those buying an i9 probably need the extra performance I'd say they're fairly likely to actually do this - I don't think most would be willing to undervolt though.

Those probably wouldn't even consider the 6000$ i9 model.

The i9 only costs 300 dollars more compared to the 2.6 i7. It's not 6000 dollars.

I remember seeing that on the news a few days ago. Still amazed how people just stood there (blocking the exit, though not doing a good job at it), instead of grabbing the kids.

I know.... they just stand there. they had plenty of people to tackle them and prevent them from leaving until the police arrived... especially if they ( the thieves) weren't armed

If they were armed... most thieves just want the money anyway(i.e. they dont actually /want/ to kill anyone). they probably would of drew their gun to stop the people and just ran off

You guys have clearly never been in a situation like this before. I can literally guarantee you none of you would do anything either. The entire video is literally only 38 seconds. They were gone long before anything serious could happen, that's literally the entire point of moving so quickly. The fact that that big dude stood at the door is pretty impressive, and he did better than i would have expected given he was shoved by 4 people at the same time.

I think because he is 50+ or so, he does not know the Internet or how it really works because it is possible that he barely has any contact with that.

 

I know that because I have an "elderly" person right next to me and see that person every day and know how they use the "Internet". Or rather not use. 

My parents are deep into their fifties. They both got degrees in what today would be considered computer science, specifically with a specialty in internet architecture. The internet is pretty fukn old man
