This one only has the characters TEN in uppercase. Anyone care to view the previous trolls to see if there's a whole sentence being sent?

FATALITY

You mean the other car companies? Like the one that built electric cars two decades ago and then crushed them instead of selling them?

The US is pretty much alone in having such an inverted tax structure.

Aside from Australia of course, where they do everything in an inverted position.

No problem at all in Safari on an old Core 2 Duo Mac mini.

Once they drop the delivery to the customer, do they say in a cheerful voice "Thank you, call again!"?

It's web pages that are filled with useless javascript libraries that people think they still need to use for cross-browser support even though Internet Explorer is long dead.

It's web pages that are filled with useless ads that run their own scripts, sometimes with their own libraries too, fetched from multiple servers.

It's web pages that are filled with useless tracking scripts, sometimes with their own libraries too, fetched from multiple servers.

It's web pages that are filled with huge animated GIFs that should be in video form instead.

It's web pages that are filled with auto-loading, auto-playing videos, jamming our connection to download something we don't even want to see instead of downloading the web page we're trying to read.

Disable plug-ins. Disable javascript. You'll see how fast browsers really are.

I'd get one if it'd have the GladOS voice but only if it also comes with the no-so-subtle sarcasm.

I'll get around to clearing out the Office once and for all, of all the old USB, ADB, RS-232, SCSI, Firewire, Ethernet, Token Ring gear... all of the Routers and Bridges and 8", 5", and 3.5" Diskette drives, and all the old Computers, including my first "Laptop", a Powerbook 100 with its dedicated external diskette drive, all off to Salvage.

You might try eBay for some of that stuff, especially things like that PowerBook 100. Who knows how much you'd get for it.

I guess I read his post too fast, I did not notice that part.

He also discussed other (potential) problems that also applies to other Macs, so I was wondering if the problem could have been a simple OS configuration that I did on my Mac mini that's not the default setup.

I thought the TVs took care of that?

Just a small note concerning the SD slot that Apple (used to) put in their Macs: they seem to be quite unreliable because of the socket they use, the "write protect" switch seems to stop working after some time. It's not hard to find threads about this problems on various forums about a lot of Mac models.

I myself had to buy an external USB reader because my Mac mini keeps thinking all my SD cards are write-protected. Bought a USB-key-style Kingston SD/microSD USB3 reader, problem solved.

Same here. I'm still using my 2010 Core 2 Duo Mac mini, upgraded to 16GB RAM and 120GB SSD. Even though it's stuck at SATA1 speeds, it's still better than the slow 5400RPM HDDs that Apple keeps buying for mysterious reasons. If they like mechanical HDDs so much they could at least pick 7200RPM ones.

No doubt that the 2017 Mac Mini will be non-expandable just like the 2014 version. Apple counts on that revenue from people over-paying for memory and disk space today just because they won't be able to upgrade in the future.

But that's Apple's mistake right there: most people who buy a Mac mini are those without enough money to buy any other Mac. Asking them to fork over for all the upgrades when they're buying the computer, at Apple's inflated prices, is insanity.

It would be a little hard to use a Mac mini on a plane, train or automobile.
