OMFG. You got modded "informative" for saying SSDs help binary files perform faster.
Files that get read from disk - ONCE.
After that, they're in RAM.
Whoever modded you "Informative" is, umm, ignorant.
It's a little thing called VM and swap files (or pagefile.sys). SSDs make paging in and out much, much faster which makes programs "run" "faster".

Actually, for Li-Ion batteries, keeping them *always* plugged in makes the battery less prone to loss. Li-ion batteries lose most capacity only when they are not being used and do not have charge constantly moving through them.
This is also why non-replaceable batteries are a lot better than replaceable ones. The non-replaceable ones never since on/in a shelf/desk/drawer causing them to lose capacity.

With jailbreaks, you end up with less functionality in some aspects and more in others and the things you lose can be very consequential.
On the other hand, a rooted android phone does not (generally) run that risk
Yeah, if you never get updates for your device in the first place, rooting won't make upgrading worse

My Paypal contract said the same thing, until a judge threw it in the trash. He said that contracts may not supersede consumer protections provided by law, and eventually forced Paypal to issue $100 refunds to all their customers (at least the ones who made the class action claim).
Not been following the supreme court on AT&T vs Class action lawsuits?

You just include the mpkg file in the DMG, and it should find and run the installer automatically.
It may open the installer application (which is an Apple shipped and signed application) which might open the package to be installed, in some specific cases. It does NOT run any executable code in the package whatsoever without user interaction.

Good job again google. That's why you're on top.
So it's a good thing that Google can, has, and will continue to remote remove (remote kill) applications downloaded onto phones.
Apple has removed apps from their store, but never from the phone itself once the app has been downloaded.

Except that houses can have mortgages that averages 30 years. TiVos cannot (min finance charge, $1 monthly)
And there's no ambiguity between "lifetime of service" and "lifetime of device".

I bought a "lifetime" subscription. TiVo are now defining that as nine years, no argument, tough.
I am extremely unimpressed, and won't be buying a new TiVo.
I DIDN'T NICK THE FUCKING DVD, I FUCKING RENTED IT, SO STOP NAGGING ME NOT TO FUCKING NICK IT.
YOU DIDN'T FUCKING BUY A TiVo IN THE LAST NINE YEARS! YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN THEM A FUCKING SHILLING IN NINE YEARS. WHY THE FUCK YOU ANYONE EXPECT YOU TO NOW?!
