If this was an Apple thing the program wouldn't run at all after the cutoff, in this case it runs but you just can't create documents.

Also, the MacOS controls for digitally signed executables can be bypassed rather easily, so if that were the cause, users could just bypass it and run it anyway, which appears to not be the case here.

I work in IT at a hospital. Dell Latitude 3420 and 3430 laptops have to be held carefully to avoid having the plastic crack simply because of the weight of the laptop. We have had to replace multiple top and bottom panels because of this. If you pick it up while its open, with two hands towards the front of the laptop, and then so much as move it a little in the air, the plastic shell noticeably flexes. We have been trying to train users to close the laptop before moving it, and to always hold it more towards the middle to avoid this.

Yes, I know the user is ultimately at fault here, but this can be an expensive issue for organizations with lots of laptops and lots of users, so it is often worth it to look for better build quality. Fortunately, the newer models have been a bit better in this regard, but it's always an up and down cycle with how they constantly try to see just how much cheapening they can get away with.

I don't know who to root against more here. Can they both lose? Is that an option?

Splitters!

Especially with the upcoming M5 Max (and Ultra?) Mac Studio the Mac Pro with its eight (pretty much useless) PCIe slots is the odd one out. It doesn't make sense with the tightly integrated Apple Silicon chips, and unless they were going to make a whole separate line of more modular M-series chips for the high end it really doesn't have a place in the lineup that makes sense. I guess they could have considered putting M5 Max chips on daughterboards and made a motherboard with multiple slots for them, but it would have been even more ridiculously expensive to do that.

Having lost a spouse to a (much shorter) battle with cancer, I feel bad for his family.

That said, there is no way to operate that kind of business at that scale ethically. No matter what safeguards you put in place, there will be CSAM that makes it through, or material made with adult trafficking victims, which he profited from. I don't know how one can rationalize that.

Where are the power plants for these?

It's also used in artist's pigments. Cadmium yellows, oranges and reds that really have cadmium in them are actually pretty expensive.

This is pure passive aggressive grey beard Linux snobbery masquerading as thoughtful commentary

Apple is bsd Unix and has a complete set of Unix tools. Apple knows there customers needs probably better than any maker and you never were going to be one.

The whole point of this is it's inexpensive. Ic you desire more power it's not for you

You may not even need the source code, it is likely that AI models are pretty close to being able to produce a specification from binaries.

One can contemplate that it would be possible to do some sort of "clean room" implementation where you input some source code (or even an executable) to one AI system that then outputs a specification, and then feed the specification to a different AI system to produce a new source code output. However, the result shouldn't be copyrightable at all because it is not the result of human authorship.

...they allowed the on/off selection of this feature to persist. In every non-hybrid car I've driven which has this, it defaults back to ON after every new startup, which is super annoying. If they would just let the driver select their preference and then leave it alone, it wouldn't bother anyone... and we could get back to arguing about important things.

I will add that even if the setting persisted, on all those cars I've driven the auto stop/start quality ranges from "meh" to just flat out awful. Hybrids, on the other hand, can obviously nail a seamless transition since they're doing it all the time anyway.
