I remember reading somewhere that Apple kind of foresaw this coming and purchased extra memory so they wouldn't have to raise prices as long as possible.

It looks like they've reached the end of their extra supply.

That timeframe is ridiculous. There's no reason why the courts can't operate more efficiently than they do other than that the lawyers and judges have no incentive to move things along.

Tell us you don't know how courts operate without telling us you don't know how courts operate.

The parties have to file the appropriate paperwork and there are specified timeframes when they have to be done. For example, the plaintiff files to start the case, the defendant generally has 20 - 30 days to respond. Then the plaintiff has additional days to respond to the defendant's response. And so on. This doesn't even take into consideration the discovery process. Just getting to the point to start a trial can take up to a year with all the back and forth filings, motions, and so on. In many cases, one or both parties will wait until the last moment to file just under the last possible filing date to drag things out.

Then the court has to schedule the case in between all the other cases they're dealing with. The parties may be ready to go to trial on April 1st, but if the first available slot in the court's docket isn't until June 1st, guess when the trial starts.

I have updates turned off. Every time I open Fx after a shut down, it harasses me. Then, about a minute later, it does it again. Throughout the day it harasses me.

If I tell it never to install updates unless I choose to, don't harass me.

It used to be like that until a year or so ago. Check the box, never be harassed. Now it's incessant.

Have they removed the incessent harassment notifying you there is an update?

There used to be a time when you checked a box, you were never harassed. Clear, simple, and useful.

I guess that's no longer possible.

The ObamaPhone was started by Bush.

Well, school has been sucking the life out of reading for over a century nowadays.

It doesn't help that right-wingers have been forcing schools to ban books such as To Kill a Mockingbird, Frankenstein's Monster, anything dealing with slavery or how Native Americans were treated by Europeans, and yes, 1984.

CNN had an article about parents in Tennessee complaining their kids shouldn't have to read about slavery and how slaves were treated because it makes them feel uncomfortable.

In other words, the people who cry the loudest about participation trophies are crying about little Johnny having to read about how horrible white people can be to others. None of this helps the ongoing issue of Johnny not able to read.

If you want to understand why we are at this level at this point in time you need to study the disastrous effects of the "reforms" put in place by Lyndon Baines Johnson in the mid-to-late-60's.

Think a little next time you vote for local dog-catcher, schoolboard, and such. Those local elections matter more than you think. And for the past 60 years you've been putting treasonous filth in the school boards.

Treasonous filth that taught the children of treasonous filth, and now here we are, with a generation or two completely unable to deal with even life's little challenges, let alone the big heavy ones, without yelling for Government or Daddy or Mommy or AI to help them.

The problem with America is very much its educational system and the two or three generations of traitors it's created.

But, even daring to point it out gets you called Racist and worse.

I don't care. America's problem is very much its educational system and the two or three generations of traitors it's created

Then again, he didn't issue 'pre-emptive' pardons for his family, friends, crackhead son, etc yet,

The only reason Biden issued those pardons was because Trump was bragging about how he was going to weaponize the DOJ to go after people.

As for the clemencies, that does not absolve the person of the crime they committed. All it does is show mercy on them.

Compare that to all the January 6th terrorists who have been pardoned. And now there's talk of paying them for their troubles. No, not the $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund*. There is still talk of paying these people for their crimes.

* Anti-weaponization is straight out of Orwell. Or the Soviet Union. Take your pick. Apparently imprisoning people who attack police aren't criminals in his eyes.

Yes, Lenovo had this feature. They were called the Yoga.

if expense is the concern, don't buy a mac book

Fixed it for you.

Reminds me of that post (quoting from memory) where a guy says the reason he needs to own a gun is because if his child needs an operation, no one's going to stop him from going to Italy where it's cheaper.

When someone builds a company and new product, they are creating wealth. The companies he owns are the net worth.

The only reason he has these companies is because of socialism. He has received billions in taxpayer money to keep his companies alive.

Side note, the same federal agency doling out taxpayer money to him is the same one he targeted under DOGE.

Double side note, Musk whined about another stimulus package after covid, while taking an unknown amount of money from the U.S. taxapyer during covid despite his company being worth $270 billion at that time.

For a slightly longer version of the amount of money the socialist has taken from the U.S. taxpayer, read on.

Yeah, and Russia deliberately targetting train stations, hospitals, maternity hospitals, schools, apartment blocks, churches, and a whole host of civilian sites is perfectly good.

If you're a soldier invading someone else's country, you should expect that country wil do whatever it takes to repel you. You're on their territory. Killing you is their job. Striking anything that supports the war effort has been done for centuries. You think the Allies didn't bomb German factories, oil depots, railheads, or other such targets?

Get a grip.

Killing people invading your country is a war crime? You Russians really are drunks.
