Yeah, when they lost the war on terrorism, they surrendered their basic dignity in the name of security theatre.

Every possible component, screw, nut, fastener, piece of billet, pipe, component. Raw stock for plastic, every possible conceivable commercial industrial component is seemingly in that book.

What nobody is telling you is that you have to spend over a threshold to get given one, its a rite of passage.

psst 98% of Metas money comes from selling marketing dorks lies and scamming the larger economy.

That's why they're still afloat regardless of not having a product worth a damn.

Its all bollocks. This is the "say you're alive" "I'm alive" meme.

This is literally just leaning into their marketing. Its not some incredibly revelation. Its the same shit people already had.

Its still just rubbing a few tokens together.

And that's where the T2 chip keeps its firmware so when the soldered-on storage goes bad, the whole computer can't boot and must go directly in the ewaste..

I hate it so damn much.

The default is zsh, I'm not a fan. Bash 3.2 is present by default, however, and is as old as the hills.

I live in a city. Shits dope. Sounds like a skill issue, maybe you should upskill and move to a city where we have ✨things to do✨ other than sit at home and be terrified by cable TV.

That was my first reaction until I noticed its object-orientated.

Then I baulked at having to rawdog node and npm on my machine.

no thank you.

Eventually the circus has to go away because the cost of tokens is too high - its literally cheaper to train software developers.

Also, the cost to business from having business-continuity-ending events is gonna eat some of these businesses.

I recently got allocated an m5 macbook.

They last like 15 minutes before they're chipped and scratched, the version of Bash they ship is a million years old, the UI is a fucking mess. Package management is a mess. The walled garden is a mess. I have had to brew this and fix my path for that just to have a working environment. This is ignoring the soldered on RAM bullshit. Can you even do memmap= to recover from bad soldered ram on a macbook or does it just become ewaste?

They sound nice and they feel nice until they're scratched.

Also the keyboards are heinous.

If Jobs was alive, he'd be punching people for re-inventing Vista Aero.

I thought the UI was supposed to be good.

Fuck these devices.

I'm glad it smelled as suspect to someone else.

Its threads like this that make me glad that these people are running around making infinite work for me to be doing, fixing the messes these people are making.

Alas, noody wants to pay for the work to be done

The world is full of clowns and I don't want to be in their circus any more

forty tonners rarely turn up in your cul-de-sac with shagged roads, but nobody has a front garden because everyone has two crossovers.
