Why can't you append "-quora" to your query?
-site:quora.com still works.

I can't imagine a single reason why having them on the internet at all should be the norm.
It's cheaper, of course. There's no other reason.
People aren't addressing the fact that when the infrastructure goes under it will pollute and cause blockage to the coasts.
Yep. There's tons of highly polluted properties on coasts, including refineries, fuel depots, shipyards, storage yards... Even if you removed the buildings and whatnot completely the soil would still be contaminated. And then there's the nuclear plants... Over 40% of them are coastal worldwide, and that number rises to 66% if you count plants under construction.
I think people running Mac are looking for simplicity.
Yes, they are deluded.
They are not going to switch to Linux unless they are techie and Mac gives them heck.
Even if their Mac shits all over them, they will praise it. Mac OS has been getting less and less reliable since about the same time they stopped calling it Mac OS X. The Mac users I know have become less and less enthralled with it as advertised functionality becomes more likely to malfunction. In particular they are distressed by recent degradations in the performance and reliability of Time Machine backups, which is arguably the thing Apple most needs to get right. (If all else fails, format the disk with your backups on it? THANKS APPLE.)
Skill issue.
Folks with Windows for games probably aren't going to bother with Wine.
I've been a Windows to Linux waffler since I put Slackware 2.0 on a 386DX25 with 8MB RAM and 120MB ATA hdd, using Kernel 1.1.47 (thus dating the start of my Linux saga) with A, N, D, and enough of the X set to run Netscape 2.0. And on that system I played (besides the epic classics like Nethack) Doom and Abuse. I ran Windows 7 for some time because it was a great place to run most games, even most of the vintage ones, and a tolerable place to run other things. I ran Linux occasionally in VMware Player or from USB stick for tasks that Windows couldn't or wouldn't do gracefully.
Now I run Devuan 5, and I am having a fairly excellent experience gaming with a combination of Lutris, PlayOnLinux, Steam, and Proton-GE. I only have a Pinnacle Ridge (1600AF) and a 4060 16GB, but I only game at 1080p. I got the version with more VRAM for LLM stuff, and so if/when I do get a 4k monitor, the card isn't worthless. I am frequently surprised by how many games I actually can run with this combination. With the exception of games with Windows kernel DRM, by far the vast majority of them can be made to work well.
If I were only gaming, I'd probably be on Windows 10. But Linux now is a very viable place to do a lot of gaming, and thanks to work put in to support the Steam Deck, a lot of games will now run very well indeed. Publishers of older games are also putting in a fair bit of work to make games function on Linux today. The new Fallout 4 patch coming out (I know that game is old AF, but it has an extremely active community) is Steam Deck Verified, but the game has run at least as well on Linux as on Windows for years now.
I do sometimes indeed still use normal Wine, but more commonly I use Proton-GE. Try it out, it's impressive.
no but you normally talk shit so I had to clarify
You not picking up what I'm putting down doesn't mean I'm not putting it down for you.
There is a technical reason for integrating the RAM into the CPU package. Having it very close coupled does allow for very tight timing.
Dude you're seriously fucking bonkers if you believe that provides any material benefit at all. The absolute best it can do is add a very miniscule amount of energy efficiency, but we're talking on the scale of adding less than one second to a ten hour battery life.
Putting the ram on the package means both making everything cheaper and smaller. Having equal length traces between modern CPUs and memory is not feasible so you also have to add latency to compensate. Apple probably gets a measurable performance boost this way, but making the system cheaper and smaller certainly matters more.
None of that excuses selling such a low-memory configuration at all, or the prices Apple charges for versions with larger storage, let alone having soldered storage. Ram on package makes sense, it saves space and significant money. SSD soldered makes little sense, it saves almost no space or money. The soldered SSD is on the same kind of bus it would be on if it weren't soldered!
It is retaliation in English, but it is not retaliation in legalese.
And only the latter matters when it comes to having something done about a firing.
I had an employer who did not pay the wages legally required by the state. The state was unwilling to do anything about my wage claim. Although what he did was technically grand theft (here in California, wage theft over a certain amount is now legally grand theft) they had no interest in prosecuting. This is why wage theft exceeds all other theft combined, it is not at all enforced. District Attorneys across the nation are not willing to do their jobs and prosecute. But once we got to my retaliation complaint things got a lot more serious and I was able to secure a settlement.
modular ram performs worse than on die memory? how so?
Because of interconnects. Are you new? Apple has even claimed themselves that putting the RAM in the same package improves performance. Here are the claims distilled by some iFanboys.
Sorry, but the article is about East Jerusalem. What Palestinian village or town was demolished to make way for this construction?

The Hamas terrorists entered Israel and butchered and raped innocent civilians living on land internationally recognized as 100% Israeli. Enough with the lies!
By all means, enough with the lies.
The last 200 years of capitalism is trickle-down in action
Yes, it is. Homelessness has been rising over that time. Very capitalism, much progress.
You're suggesting the Jews accept rule by Nazis, who would promptly put them all right back in concentration camps or just rape and burn them all alive.
This is a good description of what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians right now.
If you want to see some real anti-Semitism, look at how Israel is treating the Palestinians, who are more semitic than the Israelis on average; both are descended from the same people so this is basically family attacking family on a national scale.
