"Apple has never offered a product that justified a large chassis. It used to be lots of slots, hard drives and other storage that justified it. Macs have never been about that"
I see you don't remember the 68k Macs OR the PPC Macs. Apple offered machines with lots of slots ever since the Macintosh II line. HTH.
Too much latency for RAM.
You mean running them on an external GPU? That doesn't take much bandwidth unless you're constantly loading new models.
We will then move onto the power grab that was simply forgiving everyone's college debt.
Oh the time where Biden tried to do a thing, the SC said to stop and then he stopped and even when he tried a different way and the courts ruled against it then he respected the court (and said as such) and then stopped it.
Also unlike the tariffs the SC actually stayed the plan until judgement unlike the tariffs where the SC allowed them to just go on. Hmmm, almost like this current court leans a certain way. Hmmm.
And for even more unity I'll present Biden's sith lord speech from Sep 1st 2022
Now, I want to be very clear — (applause) — very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans.
Ohhhhh so divisive you big fat baby.
COVID19 restrictions under Biden(where BLM protests were ok
Ahh yes those BLM of protests of 2021 who could forget.
Motherfucker who was President in the year 2020?!?!
As a centrist myself
Sorry but it's 2026 and this just means embarrassed conservative.
Biden constantly reached out to conservatives, he made sure to say that it was "not all Republicans", he worked in a bipartisan manner on legislation on the infrastructure bill, he was ready to sign the very conservative Lankford immigration bill. He appointed a very moderate AG who didn't immediately bring the hammer down on Trump (his fatal mistake IMO) and even with the very obviously illegal Mar-A-Lago documents case the National Archives gave Trump over an entire fucking year to just give the shit back and Trump basically forced their hand to go raid to get it.
Sorry but the Biden era was extending a hand of good faith to Republicans to come back from the brink of psychopathy and all they did was slap it and digress into their worst impulses even more.
No more, Republicans want to act like children then they need to be disciplined like children.
Oh they won't give it up willingly and they have every incentive to keep acting authoritarian with Trump-ian rhetoric and actions. That incentive needs to be broken and punishment is exactly what's needed to do that. If Republicans suddenly know that acting like amoral sociopaths will net them prison or political exile than we've created a deterrent.
what do you all think the odds are that we'll soon have a Department of Corporations
I mean, DOGE? Also they didn't need to do it, they were able to leverage the existing agencies by gutting them and replacing the leadership with loyalists. The FCC is a perfect example, the current commissioner is threatening entertainers and license holders while wearing Trump lapel pins. The concept of independent agencies is out the windows.
This was all in Project 2025 and our media also failed by letting Trump just lie about it during the campaign when it was clearly transparent he supported the measures in there.
Just reading that - "ChatGPT's Erotic Mode" - felt slimy and gross.
[Defense Department’s chief technology officer, Emil Michael] indicated the Pentagon plans to appeal, calling the ruling a “disgrace”
These people have no shame.
Just like the tariffs they admin does unlawful thing, probably knows it's unlawful and is able to just do it anyway and reap the political benefits (here they were able to smear Anthropic's reputation in the public sphere) and the only consequences they face is "hey, knock it off". The admin got to do their tariffs for over a year even though we all knew it was illegal. No consequences thus far.
God-willing when the new non-GOP admin comes back into power the newly appointed AG will be prosecutor (like Jack Smith) who will investigate and start punishing these people and follow through.
We had a President who tried to unite the nation, put the past behind us, not antagonize the opposition party and his name was Joe Biden. That approach of being the better people, taking the high road obviously did not work so the nice guy approach has to stop. Some people need to go to prison and every member of this cabinet should be barred form holding any future public office.
I suppose to be fair the UK isn't so much better. The police can make these requests themselves. They have an oversight group, but they rubber stamp everything it seems. Hundreds of thousands of requests per year.
They gave the Chinese government access to Chinese user's data years ago. They don't seem to have an issue with governments gaining warrantless access to their systems.
Chinese law doesn't require a warrant for such access and it may be done in secrecy (i.e. without informing the user) if necessary to perform duties. The problem with Apple in China isn't that they aren't following the law, it's that they are and the law is openly fascist.
Check his posting history and it's very clear that he is not.
If he is not a trollbot, he is so frothy as to be indistinguishable from one. Every comment is the same.
