Comment 2009 macbook keyboard is fine - what happened (Score 4, Informative) 64

typing this on a 2009 macbook. It has an easily replaceable battery, SSD, and ram. its the first one with aluminum body, so the keyboard feels extremely solid. every key still works great even with a decade of nacho grease and the occasional coffee spill. the command key picked up a small toke burn, but keeps going like a champ. i've never looked at this computer and thought "this could be thinner".

Apple used to make easy to repair computers. Apple had bulletproof case/keyboard designs for their notebooks 10 years ago. What the fuck happened, you burks?

iMovie '08 was completely and abruptly redesigned from all previous iMovies. Final Cut Pro 7 was completely abandoned for FCPx. In each case, Apple said suck it up.

Based on previous behaviour, they'll act the same way to legacy iTunes users. If people want to keep using their hardware, they will have to keep up with the software changes.

Instead, it was taken with an (unnamed) DSLR she owns.

The image in TFA is meant to illustrate samsung's supposed shallow depth of field. Which lens did she use? what focal distance is the subject? what is the aperture setting?

In this situation the lens parameters are more informative than the name/model of a DSLR.

Comment "I'm the first daughter" - ivanka in a nutshell (Score 4, Informative) 498

From Bob Woodward's book "Fear: Trump in the White House"

During a meeting in Priebus’s corner office Bannon and Ivanka got into an altercation.

“You’re a goddamn staffer!” Bannon finally screamed at Ivanka. “You’re nothing but a fucking staffer!” She had to work through the chief of staff like everyone else, he said. There needed to be some order.

“You walk around this place and act like you’re in charge, and you’re not. You’re on staff!”

“I’m not a staffer!” she shouted. “I’ll never be a staffer. I’m the first daughter”—she really used the title—“and I’m never going to be a staffer!”
