seriously, slashdot? It's 2025 and you still can't do the Euro sign?

Even so the prices are excessive. If I want to upgrade the SSD in the current MBP from 512 GB to 2 TB that's +750 â

Meanwhile, a Western Digital Red SN700 with 2 TB I can get for a bit over 200 â.
A Samsung 990 PRO 2 - 245 â (was just rated the best M.2 SSD on the market by Tom's Hardware).

Whatever exact chips Apple is using, they're not 3x as expensive as other high-quality SSDs.

Even if "locked in place" is your underlying assumption, anyone who's even heard of the real world from their mom who has a friend whose father once visited it should know that there is no rule without exceptions and even if that is perfectly true, a small number of those particles will not be locked in perfectly.

>Even if it isn't technically legal harassement I would say that it is harassing behavior, immoral and should be defended against.

We do that by changing laws.

>Break the fucking cameras.

The problem with that is, it's legal to film i public in the US. I don't know about other countries, but you can use these smart glasses to film people in public in the US legally.

What you are advocating is just assault. Congratulations. You have not evolved past "violent criminal".

Why do you cringe? Perhaps your cringe reaction to me is as wrong as those who cringed so hard at Turing's homosexuality, they drove him to suicide?

How come I was handcuffed to a hospital bed and involuntarily institutionalized after one attempt? How come my brother had to use the dark web to get the horse tranquilizer he took to end his mental suffering? Why not remove the police's authority to forcefully restrain me as a threat to myself, and let me legally purchase the same pills my brother had to act criminally to get?

Thus if stock markets, the canonical example of capitalism, have noisy prices, why shouldn't we treat inflation as noise and index it away?

Trump's disastrous mishandling of the covid pandemic and his inability to do what Obama did and keep the virus overseas like Obama did with bird flu means that it spread and devastated supply chains. Furthermore 4 years of trump refusing to enforce antitrust law created even more consolidation with less competition and more monopolies. Finally Trump gave away trillions of dollars to the 1% who used it to buy up even more companies and jack up prices on everything.

Biden came in like a Democrat always does after a republican crashes and destroys everything and started putting things back together. But because he didn't do it fast enough and because you are easily distracted by woke PC dei trans girls telling you happy holidays while playing esports Mortal Kombat Mortal panics you didn't go by the 8 years Democrats normally get to undo some of the damage while the Republicans sabotage everything they can in the meantime.

So even though Joe Biden had a plan to lower prices by doing extensive trust busting all that's gone now because you're a 12-year-old child and a grown man's body and orange man good.

You will spend the last few years of your 12-year-old life homeless and if you're lucky one of your crotch fruit will let you crash on their sofa.

There are still places I write out checks because I get a discount for doing it.

In my feed lately. And I'm guessing it's because the news media really really wants to cover Trump's MRI but isn't allowed to. I mean except for the British press.

A member of Congress just pointed out that the spots on Trump's hands are probably from an IV used to administer in Alzheimer's drug and that the MRIs are likely because the drug has a side effect that can cause brain swelling and they are monitoring for that.

What's weird is while this is going on suddenly I get all these stories in my feed and on pages I frequent about mris. The algorithm knows that MRIS or being searched for by people because even though the regular news media isn't allowed to talk about Trump's medical condition people have Google and are using it.

I suspect what's happening is that most newsrooms will monitor frequently searched keywords and start running stories about them to soak up ad revenue. People are searching for MRI because Trump is in the news and The newsroom is ordering stories about it.

It's kind of bizarrely cool and a cyberpunk kind of way.

What if I am ostracized from real life society, and this is the last place I can try to make the case that you're all being unfair and we should legalize suicide? Why do you ban talk of suicide?

Also, how do you know I haven't extensively sought professional help, but it didn't help because the therapists didn't like me either, and had more important patients to focus on?

What is your solution to the problem of me? Why isn't legal suicide the most cost-effective and efficient solution?

What if all that verbiage just means "I'm butthurt, waaaah!"?

Since the social world you've built has no place for me, and if I try to point out I'm nonviolently not cooperating, your sensibilities are offended and you deny my attempts to petition for redress of grievances, why not acknowledge suicide should be legal?

Why should I want to live in a society where I am not wanted or needed?

Also, what if my arguments actually give rise to painful cognitive dissonance in you, and so rather than change your thinking to accommodate the uncomfortable truths I bring up, you just want to ban the messenger?
