Problem solved.

If the conversation isn't relevant to you, why are you there to begin with?

I certainly stay put at home when on call. Unless it's a company event.

That's when I would enter a theater with a laptop to begin with,

Tesla has found another loophole: they are setting up dealerships on the land of Native Americans.

Because apparently, the "cars only through dealerships" does not apply to them.

If people would use a fresh mask every time they touched it.

People were carrying around their masks for days or weeks - I cannot believe that was healthy or beneficial.

That may very well be the truth - but OTOH, despite the price tag, early users acknowledge that it is almost an out-of-body experience that is hard to put a price-tag on.

The availability of trial devices in the Stores will be key.

I have absolutely no doubt that no one but Apple can produce something like this in the next couple of years.

It seems like no-one at Google can follow through with a project that takes longer than six months before they have enough.

Model 3 can have 20 inch wheels, Model Y 21" and the X (and most other large SUVs of other manufactures) even 22".

It's not only the space required for such a monstrosity, but also the fact that you need lug around a sufficiently sturdy car-jack to actually lift the car (after you've lifted the close to 18kg Uberturbine spare wheel out of the trunk and ideally used the car-jack pads).

I have a 22 year old car with a spare tire that was never used (pristine condition). I have changed tires dozens of times (with my father) - but in good light on our front yard. Nobody wants to change a tire at night, in bad weather and roadside.

Just call roadside assistance and be done with it.

In Europe, it's like 100-200 per year for the whole of Europe-coverage.

You forgot the most important thing: Sponsor!

With that, I'd like to draw your attention to today's sponsor....

AFAIK, most people only signed up to reserve their name on it.

After that, it became as interesting as watching a read-out of a phone book. Or watching paint dry.

I spent over 2500 CHF (incl. taxes) on the i7 Mini (32G/1T). That was about two weeks before they dropped the price a bit...

That said, a 32G/1T Mini with the highest-specced CPU/GPU/NE is about the same today. But I could upgrade this Mini to 64G, if I wanted to spend the additional 500 CHF or so that it costs to have done at an authorized service partner.
For a bit more, there's already the Mac Studio...it's a rabbit hole.

I would really like to get six years out of it.

Though I usually update macOS only every two years, so I don't have to spend too much on VmWare Fusion

I know Apple has a process for the "Digital heritage" - when a person dies.

So, at least she can be rest assured her heirs can access the data.

Ah, here it is:

Well, women can get pretty desperate when it comes to getting kids.

You have to balance that, of course, with thinking about how they'll eventually grow up and not just have them because your body craves popping a kid or two. But even as a man, I can certainly see where that is coming from.

We've come far, very far.
