Yeah, I’m sorry to say that is a result of good marketing. I work at a university and we have experience with a good number of XPS laptops.

We saw at least a 60% problem rate, and Dell’s support was dog slow. Batteries being the weak spot. Because it’s thin it is more fragile, we saw a number of broken screens, and keyboards. One survived a Gatorade spill, but another failed after a water spill. Go figure

A three year warranty helped, but we were out of a laptop for months at a time, more than once on the same laptop.

Ultra thin laptops look cool, but suck in almost every other way. If you need thin then get a MacBook Air.

can threads users follow me?

Geez really? I had no idea that pedestrians were so careless, what is it about larger trucks that makes people jump out in front of them.

I like to see things as an opportunity, and I think we can use this as a lesson to do things differently. Like, let’s make trucks louder so you hear them before you see them. More Turbo, and how about vertical tail pipe stack. Next we can increase the number of lights, and make them brighter so that everyone can see. Let’s add more cameras and computers so the driver can see their blind spots simply by looking at the command console screen. We can even make these features available for free for a small amount of non invasive advertising.

Do you remember how trains solved the problems of cows derailing trains. They put a guard on the front. So let’s make an even bigger steel bumper.

Yes that’s the right way to block root login. An added filter you can use the ‘match’ config expression to filter logins even further.

If you’re on the open network, your connection will be heavily hit with login attempts. That is normal. But using another service like Fail2Ban will stop repeated hits to your host.

Ssh listens on port 22, as soon as a connection is made the host moves the connection to another port to free up 22 for other new connections.

This sounds like the trolly problem. If you go down track A, then there are likely to be some horrible family murders. Or track B you will upset the NRA crowd.

… Wow this Rahini guy does sound like a poster child for this law, but

ultimately the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law is unconstitutional because there was nothing like it in the 1790s

Uhm? No.

Whoosh

It said it believed that any taxes owed after the audit would be reduced by up to $10bn based on tax laws passed by former President Donald Trump.

I was sick, so I could tolerate the presentation which had high-end effects.

A UAV flys through the desert over the Apple building into the center garden, it approaches Tim Cook standing on à lawn. He starts speaking in his mechanical ceo way. A lot more effects like this.

The watch

• new processor with cores dedicated to ml. Monitoring your bio markers for finger traps and other gestures. It also processes voice commands so you don’t need to be tethered to the internet to figure out what your saying.
• a fear based marketing, the presentation opens with shiny people who have been assisted by the watches bio monitoring. Heart attack, hypothermia, car accident, etc. Apple watch is always watching you.
• 18 hrs battery life, so you have to remove it to charge it everyday. So while your sleeping? But put it back on before you wake up so you can snooze by tapping your fingers together. Also if you’re likely to have a heart attack at night, wear the watch so it can wake you up.
• satellite emergency SOS, and road side assist. USA only
• carbon neutral. Recycled metals,…
• features you will use everyday (repeat 15x)
• pro version

The phone

• recycled metal, carbon neutral, cute scene presenting Apples eco foot print to mother nature played by Octavia Spencer
• cameras
• something something USB3, no mention of external displays or using with dock to use as computer
• easily replaceable back glass
• a design that makes it easier to repair
• pro version in titanium

MacBook

• MacBook Air 15

An impressive presentation. Engineering is amazing. Still, your locked into their walled garden. And they can keep you juiced with dopamine as long as you give them money.

More like disappointed. These are the same people that claim the liberal policies are divisive and creating an us vs them environment in Canada.

Whereas, the majority in Canada care deeply about social policies like healthcare, access to education, the harm of religious ideology, access to housing, the environment, the CBC, pot, policing, and the list goes on, and not necessarily in this order.

Shocked that people lack compassion for Sterlite Canadians, especially if they are disadvantaged.

Outraged at the hypocrisy of it all.

Wow! Donations to children of Uganda was about 68k in 2018, and 78k in 2019. That’s awesome. I guess this is a good time as any to donate.

Great app, I picked up the pro version a long time ago. I use it mostly to read pdf’s on my mobile.
