You already had your turn in the late 2010s after big data and before AI. You don't get to come back to the hype line for seconds.

Sure, they had to sell their stock, including the parts needed to make the machines. At that time they were also still at least assembling them.

IIci September 1989, Quadra 700 October 1991, in almost the same case. Two years, one month.

That statement was stupid, even absurd the first times that it was used — by the Reich wing. The entire reason I'm still using it when speaking to them is to rub their noses in how fucking stupid it was.

You're two steps behind me as usual, but at least you're getting there.

Insert Travolta looking around meme here. This is me, looking for fucks.

And there isn't much of a market for Macs with slots. Thunderbolt 5 takes care of a lot of IO, and if you need more, you're probably not going to use a Mac. Adding wide PCIE 5.0 to the Ultra 5 is going to take some work that is probably better spent on just getting it out the door without the I/O wasting space for 95% of users.

If the airlines are acting as a de facto division of the government by providing them with your personal data, then they should be treated as such. That means they should follow simple rules for protecting PII like collecting and retaining the minimum needed.

You mean like when he claimed the iPhone would be all webapps?

Let's face it, Jobs' only superpower was being a super dick to employees. This can only take you so far.

Since he's living rent-free in your head, can we assume you're the one responsible for the rsilvergun-impersonating LLM spam?

Wait until you find out about American car companies

That one.

Uh, yeah dumbfuck. Pure science research rarely pans out, but it helps humanity.

Even 20 minutes later I wouldn't remember jack about the person's face or even what they were wearing. I see on TV all the time "suspect was last seen wearing a red sweater and corduroy pants" .. like I could never remember shit to that level unless they were wearing a something really ridiculous. At a conference earlier this year I met someone who I wanted to follow up with later, but then I couldn't remember exactly what he looked like even the next day and went up to the wrong person twice. It was a bit embarrassing. And no it's not early stage Alzheimer's .. I've been like that forever.

I do most of my shopping there, at Grocery Outlet, and at Costco. I actually do more shopping at grossout, because they are the closest thing that doesn't suck. We have a local market and mini-market, and I'm not a big fan of either one. (The market is somewhere around "OK", the mini market is disappointing.) I got Costco's card honestly just to get fuel quicker as the card is a membership card, and it's convenient for me to stop in there on my way to work.

Winco is an employee-owned co-op, and their pricing seems to be dynamic in general and the prices actually go back down, so I'm really happy with them. Grocery Outlet has beer I want to drink and high quality local dairy products, and an interesting and ever-changing stock of weird shit, and neither of the local ones are scuzzy. I have a chest freezer...

Of course it does. It doesn't have to do with just one thing. Keeping the machine spinning is the reason why even heartless fucks should be interested in workers' needs being met, if they weren't idiots. But that's the problem with such people, if you're smart then you realize that you don't want to live in a world of shit.
