This is a solid outcome, and I'm sure 37signals have factored in scaling with growth. AWS and its ilk are great for early unpredictable growth, and I guess at some point of stability, the odds can work out in switching to something inhouse.

Given that Facebook was paying the users, whose to say they can't argue they were 'internal/employed/contracted' users as far as Apple's Terms define them? I'd argue that they are wrong and in my view are not compliant - but no doubt FB has a small nation army of lawyers to argue the contrary...

Perhaps one of the most influential mac games, but this was essentially a curiosity in the wider gaming world of PC and console gaming...

Only a diehard mac fanboy of old would try to argue its massive influence in wider gaming - and I say that is a mac user...

The 'unlimited inventory' referred to above isn't about range, it's about stock. Ie they have an infinite number of episode 1 of house of cards, not a limited number of DVDs. Their range is whatever it is, limited or not, but this doesn't have to to with reviews.

The cynicism is strong with this one.

When they had DVDs they had to keep physical inventory, and ship physical inventory, so predicting demand was important to their logistics planning.

Now they have unlimited inventory, and shipping is essentially instant and with zero marginal cost - so in that regard, demand prediction is less important.

It's easy to scoff at a cheap car that cut obvious corners and was far behind what we expect for first-world motor vehicle transport that costs an order of magnitude above what millions of people in developing nations can affort...

It takes some mental effort to respect that fact that Tata brought car-based mobility to a new generation of people that otherwise couldn't afford the level of vehicles we enjoy in more developed nations today... it wasn't too long ago (~50 years) that we were driving cars worse in quality and safety than the Nano... and they cost a pretty penny even for first world nations at the time...so why begrudge and scoff at another developing nation's progress on the same path we also walked (albeit earlier)?

I'm on Premium, and already and always have 'Ultra'/4k as part of it for four screens

Well played - for those that don't know... Apple has already eyed the ad businesses, and went in boots and all - pronouncing a pending revolution in ads - it didn't end well...

OP here, it's true that these monitors are fine. 'Dead' was due to title text limit, as I had originally wanted to use 'unusable'.

Buy a Macbook Pro and you only have USB-C ports for connecting other monitors and peripherals, and Apple currently don't make a 1st party hub. Whilst you can go USB-C -> DisplayPort Alt Mode, this means multiple cables and doesn't solve other peripherals and power. So many people have adopted hubs like Dells D6000 which is actually a pretty great piece of kit, and lets (or used to at least) any USB-C capable machine (Mac/Linux/Win) be plugged in with one cable and get multiple displays, ethernet, usb, headphones and power all from one little plug. It was awesome!

DisplayLink may have started off as a lowly USB display standard, but it now can support multiple 4k displays at 60hz which is pretty impressive, and has been working perfectly fine for quite some time across plenty of different devices and monitors.

OP here, and yes 'dead' has stronger implications than I meant. Truth be told the character limit on the field had me unable to use 'unusable' and so in haste I managed to fit in 'dead' instead. These monitors are not bricked, nor are any DisplayLink hubs, instead all the monitors that worked fine before the update are now dark.

Rolling back MacOS is not necessarily a straight forward process, nor is it practical for dev environments.

Eh? MBP doesn't have the ports or a proper reliable keyboard, and the MBA is still thinner/lighter.

You must be pretty forgiving - the keyboard is widely panned, and is very unreliable too https://theoutline.com/post/24... http://bgr.com/2017/10/19/macb... etc etc I'm a recidivist MacBook owner, and the Air is the least shit one at the moment. The regular MacBook is laughable, and new MBP has no ports, touchbar wank, and a poor and unreliable keyboard too.

This already exists - has done for years, it's called a Dish Drawer https://www.fisherpaykel.com/n...
