Mindblowing to me that people continue to try and pin "planned obsolescence" on Apple, the manufacturer that makes infamously long lived products. You anti-Apple zealots get your talking points from 1996 Usenet posts.
Sorry for not being clearer. I don't like the MacBook's noise when the fans turn on.
The Mac Studio has bigger heat sinks to delay the need for thermal management -- and if its fan does need to turn on, the bigger size means it's still silent instead of the high-pitched whooshing noise the tiny fans make in the MacBook.
You can get large under-laptop cooling pads with giant fans that can help this somewhat. It's not part of the laptop, but help if it's docked at home. It's not totally ideal since the bottom of your laptop doesn't have radiator fins, but does help.
I feel like they can't have any devs left at this point, the quality of the site code has gone down significantly in the last couple of years. Real shame, it used to be an awesome utility for bookmarking ideas.
What a great collection of incorrect right wing talking points!
Look up when benefits began to be paid. The current payments very much and by design pay for the current retirees. The idea that this is some kind of elaborate “scam” when it is one of those things that every other civilized country has figured out is hilarious. Go travel. Go talk to some retirees there. Turn off the Fox News.
This is years (decades?) old but I self hosted my email until everyone suddenly stopped accepting my mail. Has this phenomenon changed? Everyone on my domain was asking me what the hell happened why is my mail not being delivered and I had to do a panicked midnight migration to Google.
This hasn't changed, it git worse. Incoming spam was never the problem. Getting your mail delivered is. The article is not talking about that. If you only want to self host your mails and use an external smtp gateway for outgoing mail, then everything is fine
Sure they do. Cabin refits are pretty standard. A lot of the 777s flying for AA, Delta, and United were delivered with very different interior configs.
No, Boeing did it first with the original 777, way back in 1994. A folding wingtip was designed, the folding mechanism was built and qualification tested, the engineering drawings were all released, it was added to the option catalog, but no customer ever ordered the option.
You used to be able to see the qualification test rig mechanism at the Museum of Flight restoration center in Everett, but they scrapped it during the pandemic.
This is the new reality for all airliners now that there are much more rigorous mandatory safety analyses in place. The 777-9 just happened to be on the edge of certification when they came along.

That's an interesting roundabout way of saying that they were not following the certification requirements before, and that it now takes much longer for them to actually conform to the rules they should have followed in the first place.
> The 777-9 just happened to be on the edge of certification when they came along.
Yeah, killing 346 passengers due to extreme negligence will do that to you.. These pesky FAA requirements standing in the way of business..
And more generally, door blow-outs during pressurization tests and engine pylons failing are maybe not things that can be blamed on certification rigorousness..
> they were not following the certification requirements before...
Those requirements didn't yet exist. The multitude of new safety analysis requirements enacted by the Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act that was passed in 2020 just overlapped the program's (then) planned introduction, which also slid.
The anti-screen crowd vastly overestimates people's competence with buttons. "You can hit them without taking your eyes off the road!" Please observe the typical driver as they attempt to change their climate control settings and report back.
My sense of touch contributes to making sure I actuate the control I want. I can glance at a knob for a split second and then my hand can get "close enough" to finally navigate to the correct position using only touch. Then I can manipulate that and adjacent controls as much as I want with no hassle.
With capacitive, I'm holding my whole-ass arm in the air in a bouncing car trying to watch my finger tip float around a button, with the intensity of shooting proton torpedoes down an exhaust shaft. Alllmmoosstt tthhheerree!
Wait till have they have to swipe up from the bottom of a touchscreen to do the same thing. In many ways, it's all the same buttons with the same icons but now they're inside of menus!
