I buy and use Macbook Pros for work (web dev), and I do look at specs. And yeah, 8GB is ridiculous and the upgrade prices are absurd. Amazingly good machine, though.
Writing passwords down isn't that bad, actually. We humans are very good at securing little pieces of paper; just put the one you wrote your password on with the other valuable pieces of paper, in your wallet.
It's "sticking the post-it note to the computer screen" that's the problem.
It actually doesn't light up anymore...
They are heavier (altough not as much as Lead-Acid!), which is why they don't tend to be used in "portable" applications like e-scooters.
Last time they charged for an OS update was with Mountain Lion, which was also the last "big cat" OS. That was in 2012, and it was only 20$. The last OS release that was over 100$ (or even 50$) was Leopard, in 2007, at 130$. Back then, the only way to get it was on a CD, which is obviously much more expensive to manufacture and distribute than a download...
I don’t bother correcting people if they think I’m a guy online.
There are no girls on the internet anyway ;)
If the west, especially the US had not invested so heavily in Ukraine, do you think there would be a protracted war right now?
Probably not, Ukraine just wouldn't exist anymore. How is that better?
If any country is guilty of that, I only know of one country in the world
There are a few countries like that, actually. There used to be other ones, too. The fact that one does it does not excuse the other. And no, it's not okay that one does it "because they're the good guys" either (altough I don't think many people outside that country think they're the good guys, really, I certainly don't).
No code is perfect and people can get really self aware about that. I know I have had imposter syndrome in the past where I thought my code was shit, but people always complemented me on the result. Opening up the code can lead to people seeing how shit it really is and call you out on it. The code is probably fine, but it’s a legit fear.
This is a noob fear. Seasoned devs know all code is shit ;)
I use famous computer scientists. Torvalds, Kernighan, Ritchie, Woz (for the MacBook). My most recent one was bought in Hampton VA, so I named it kjohnson after Katherine Johnson (as seen in the movie Hidden Figures, she used to work at the NASA facility in Hampton).
I think it's a good system, and I don't think I'll ever run out!
I know first hand that there are some very good developers in Ukraine, I think there will be no problem making a tech hub!
I've had very good success with Zigbee stuff, TP-Link Kasa outlets (but I've put them on a different router / subnet that doesn't have Internet access), and ESPHome.
Tuya stuff sucks (keeps disconnecting), JuiceBox (my car charger) changed their app so the integration doesn't work anymore, and the Aqara zigbee door sensors never worked for me (they pair perfectly, but then disconnect and never come back on).
So yeah, in my experience, once it works, it works, as long as there's no cloud involved.
Ça on le sait. Mais quand la société prend le risque en question, on s'attend à ce que la société puisse bénéficier des éventuels profits! Hydro est un bon exemple.
Ce qui n'est pas normal c'est quand la société assume le risque, mais que c'est le privé qui ramasse les profits. Bombardier est un bon exemple de ça.
