Certain topics do not lend themselves very well to the scientific method.
It's kind of hard to set up 100 universes, say, and run them through a few billion years. You can't do the experiment part.
Sometimes a hypothesis has potentially observable implications, even if a mad scientist can't reproduce everything in their lab.
I think it has been decades since cosmologists believed the universe is expanding at a constant rate.
IANAPhysicist, but isn't a thrust of 1g specific to the mass you are accelerating? Same device pushing heavier mass gives less acceleration?
Is a claim that you can create a thrust of 1g even meaningful without additional details?
You donâ(TM)t need an Apple ID to login to a Mac.
Do you want to teach my 76 year mother how to use Linux and provide tech support? I certainly can't be arsed with that, meanwhile she uses Windows without any help.
If China wants these removed then that means there's no backdoor they have access to. I was always a bit suspicious of Telegram because Russia gave up on its attempts to ban it.
I'm surprised Threads and WhatsApp were still allowed given that Facebook was banned in about 2009 in China.
It's 2024 - people still use Windows? Why?
Well, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Apple has spent years building a tightly controlled walled garden and blocking any way for users to choose for themselves what software to run on their device. Only very recently (in the EU) have regulators started to push for greater openness. But of course, if Apple creates a locked-down device with total control, authoritarian governments will want to take that control for themselves -- and Apple, "obeying local laws" has no way to refuse those demands.
If your iPhone allowed you to download and install your own software, and not just as some special concession in certain markets but as the normal way it works, then it would be much harder for China or other countries to block particular apps.
And yes, there are certainly arguments in favour of a walled garden, for banking apps or for movie playback with DRM or for corporate paranoia about employee devices. And arguments against it too. It's not my intention to open a big discussion on those right now, just to note that Apple is getting a taste of its own medicine.
What model of iMac? I could upgrade them RAM on my 2008 iMac, but what about a new one with Apple Silicon?
There are NO laptop manufacturers apart from Apple who make a laptop capable of running macos apps*. If you need to run mac software, you have to buy a mac. There is no competition so far as macos compatible laptops are, and some software only runs on macos. So Apple have a monopoly so far as mac-compatible laptops are concerned.
*Unless you count hackintoshes, but those are a dying breed now that Apple makes their own exclusive silicon.
I still run a late 2007 15" MBP with 6GB of memory and OS X 10.11. Itâ(TM)s ok for web browsing, email and Office 2011 (yep, Office 365 donâ(TM)t really offer anything new). I used Lightroom 3 - 5 on it back in the day and VMWare Fusion running Windows 7.
Chrome is definitely a pig though. I havenâ(TM)t touched it with a barge pole for years, but my wife uses it on this Mac.
and people he's worried will exploit him.
I reckon one of his biggest worries right now is how to find a running mate that won't backstab him with the 25th Amendment at the first opportunity.
I am familiar with UNIX shell job control, and I was not stating that undo came first... only that your insinuation it was some ("modern") Windows-centric thing was in error.
However I will say, it hardly matters if there was an alternate shortcut assignment in some other context a few years beforehand. Particularly when the earlier form has been used by many fewer people in comparison.
^Z for undo predates Microsoft and Windows, harkening back to Apple's imitation of PARC's GUI in 1984.
Scientists will study your brain to learn more about your distant cousin, Man.
