Having an expensive feature to show off then never using it does seem to check out for a certain kind of Apple user.
Now fire roast a pepper on your induction. Go on, I'll wait.
(Puts a sheet pan of halved peppers in the broiler.)
You get byproducts that tend to be harmful to air breathers.
I'd been trying to quit my air addiction and switch to traditional water breathing, but now I'm finding out that water breathers like coral aren't going to survive a warmer planet.
Fingerprints all over your screen? Gross!
Actually I have two PC laptops with touchscreens. I disabled them when I moved to Linux because they are not useful to me and it's too easy to bump them when closing the lid. (and on Linux there was a bug where the touch screen was still active when using an external display - sending your mouse cursor screaming all over the desktop)
Municipal owned broadband options ought to be the priority for the state. Make sure everyone benefits, not just a tight-fisted handing of crumbs to the poor.
If you don't have to split the house with siblings, people can and do live with their parents until their parents die. And then you end up in a situation that my family is in. The family house is being lived in by one member who can't afford to even pay the electric bill, let alone the taxes. And we end up trying to keep the house from being taken by paying her bills, without the a path to evict her.
As for people realizing college or vocation training is necessary for the standard of living they want to achieve. They are also too old to do it easily. And are disappointed that they will be starting at the bottom rung in their career at age 30 or 40.
We are going to let a lot of people make bad decisions in life that is going to indirectly impact our labor force decades from now. I'm not saying people should be forced to go to college or anything. But we should be making it the easiest decision of their life, and discouraging stupid behavior whenever possible.
The only modern games that should be cel shaded are the ones where you get to date different anime cat girls.
When you can invest in crypto or be an influence?
The new generation views corporate jobs as a dead end. There is no loyalty from the company. There is no stability in any industry. So why should they be expected to invest in a specialized education that is going to be worthless in 5 or 10 years?
The first bug was found September 9, 1947 3:45pm (presumably Eastern Daylight Time?).
That works out to a Unix timestamp of -704088900
So we can fully support describing history before Unix, despite Unix being religiously observed as the beginning of computing history.
I'm aware of the HP ProDesk having them on some of their SFF systems that are also targeted to the POS industry. Recent models make it an optional ad-on but it's simply a DD9 connector and a mounting bracket, the rs232 is available on header on the motherboard.
I used to depend on RS232 for my embedded work, but we made an in-house debug board that has JTAG and two FTDI serial chips and a remote control and remote power-on. So now we can write a script that holds the VolUp button while resetting the board, which has made automated testing and development way easier.
Is that in the new Blood Bowl rules?
But if you are a billionaire you don't really care about the regular reports of publicly traded companies. Because you can already get information outside of the quarterly cycle.
These sorts of changes will slam the middle class and drain away their 401K retirement. But that's always been part of his plan.
We still use RS232 in the real world, although typically on DD9 instead of the old DB25 connector. But you won't find a consumer desktop or laptop made in the last 20 years with the port built in. You can expect USB-C connectors to replace USB-A connectors in mainstream use and they will disappear from most product lines. We'll always have a few old devices kicking around with the old connectors, I have a lot of audio gear that has USB type B connectors, but these problems will be solved by selling us cables not by including them on your laptop.
This is almost as exciting as when Apple added cut and paste to the UI, after telling us it would be impossible to add when the iPhone was released, they pulled off a miracle only a year later.
To be or not to be, that is the bottom line.
