Way to go announcing to the world you've never programmed anything before, and in the first 4 words of a very long post.

1 is an integer (or maybe a float, depends on how you define it)
1.0 is not an integer, attempting to define it as an integer would result in conversion, truncation, or a compile error depending on what language you are using.

The only thing you've done is demonstrated you don't know how computers or programming languages deal with a decimal point: Hint, it's nothing to do with anything related to your maths textbook.

It brings me real joy to know someone is pissed off by my posting to AC out cheap insults. Happy to help keep you entertained buddy.

I just did the same thing. Estimated delivery time for the base Macbook Neo was 1st week of September (that's a month away for those keeping count). I could geta Macbook Pro delivered tomorrow.

I'm happy for you, but you're not an edge case. In fact the supply problems with the Neo are widely reported in the media: https://www.techradar.com/comp...

You being a privileged edge case does not make someone else a liar. I'm happy for you. That doesn't change the *widely reported* reality that Apple had supply problems for the exact reason the GP states.

Also I currently see 4 weeks delivery time for a Macbook Neo (estimated 1-5th September). On the other hand I could get a Macbook Pro delivered tomorrow if I order before 10pm according to the website.

Since you want to be a cunt to others, let's treat you the same way: Whose cock are you sucking to get Macbook Neo's expedited?

Exactly this, except this seems to be more Apple's first foray into binning. They literally had to create a new substandard class of the same processor for the Neo. ... And then they promptly ran out of the lower binned part causing shipping problems.

You're being sarcastic, all the while actually ignorant to the fact that iOS 12 is labelled Legacy (iOS 13 is not) and that there's significant differences in APIs and Apple no longer requires any compatibility with it to be maintained.

A lot of apps DO NOT WORK on iOS 12, even if it does have the latest security updates.

That is a very silly flex. While the the iPhone 7+ of the GP is likely running some version of iOS 15 which is supported, your version is not "supported" as much as it is in maintenance mode, actually officially classified as a "Legacy OS" by Apple. This means that software does not need to maintain API compatibility with it, and a significant number of apps are not available / no longer compatible with it.

It may not be insecure, but I wouldn't be proudly proclaiming to the world that I use an OS that has known compatibility issues with modern software due to the outdated, no longer supported APIs is implements.

Supply and demand curve breakdown does not mean anyone is being fleeced. It just means someone with deeper pockets than you wants the limited thing more than you do. Their products are being sold at market rates.

Which is irrelevant. Being an oligopoly is just a state to describe how many companies are in a market. It doesn't have any impact on the market. Actions have impacts on markets, and while this oligopoly has in the past been found guilty of collusion, there's zero evidence that what is happening right now would be any different if there were 100 small manufacturers rather than a couple of large ones.

No they did it to create a new market for a product they produce while offering benefits to potential customers. It's the reason why any product is created. It's literally how commerce works.

It's an open tech spec, not too different from how virtually every other memory and storage spec is created, except the resulting spec requires no membership with JEDEC.

No it can't because it failed precisely for the reason that makes it incompatible with what is happening right now: It was a proprietary closed spec with no wider industry agreement or acceptance.

Intel tried to lock everyone into Intel. Instead here we have an open technical spec. Optane isn't welcome.

That and cost. Intel's fabs couldn't produce Optane at even remotely compelling prices.

He lost me at "Power BI".

Ugh...what a POS.....it's the modern equivalent of MS Access....it gives people who can't code or design enough tool to create something they force others to use which causes time suck and damage along the way.

So what? What is the point you are attempting to make here?

To quit being a bunch of pussies....

These windows DO open, don't they?

I mean, there's always portable units you can use.

Please enough with the excuses....sit and swelter if that's what you want, but geez....get used to it, this isn't going away you know.

Fine...then sit there and swelter like it is the 1800's....I really do't give a fuck if people make excuses instead of solutions.

Slight warning....get used to it, this isn't going away you know....

So what you're saying is you want every window to have a box hanging out of it, and 500+ year old facades to have condensors bolted on to them, all the while adding to the general noise and destruction of the beauty of the city all to deal with the couple of days of hot weather that are simply solved by going to the mall?

No thanks. Leave your 3rd world suggestions for 3rd world shitholes.

How is a small popup that you can click an x on "forcing you" to use an app? I literally have never used an app on reddit, and I'm on reddit all the fucking time.
