Really? I just handed down a 2017 MacBook Pro – still supported by Apple, meaning it runs the latest OS, and gets patches.
Can you give me an example of any other device with longer software support from the original vendor, at no cost to the end user?
But they were restoring all my posts and comments for weeks after I deleted them.
This is what Superchargers are. The snag is that during busy weekends, the batteries eventually hit zero, and everyone is capped at 72kW, because that’s what the AC/DC transformer can provide.
Uh, no. A decent UPS is $300-500, and replacement batteries can be had for under $100, and if you keep the unit cool and clean, batteries should last 3 to 5 years.
Also, if your UPS has 12V 7Ah batteries, you can sometimes find 12V 9Ah batteries in exactly the same form – so you get slightly longer run times after you replace the batteries the first time.
Oh, yeah… But you have to admit, it kinda explains the behaviour in a concise and plausible fashion though, based on the facts we do know.
Heh. Can you tell my parents? I’m pretty sure both of them would suck this guy’s dick if he showed up at their house. I’ve tried various ways to explain that they’re in a cult, but yeah, they’re in way too deep.
I find it hard to believe that the folks in France who work in government have forgotten that protesting is the compromise people made to have their voices heard… The alternative being the separation of heads from necks as the first step in the revolution.
This is dumb anyway - nobody is going to pump 1MW into a car, the grid can’t support it, never mind a supercharger-style station with between 8 and 20 plugs. A 20-plug Supercharger needs around 1.5MW to serve each station with 72kW.
And really, when I’m on a road trip, after 3h in the car, I need a break that’s long enough to hit the bathroom, grab a bite to eat, and stretch my legs. The car is usually charged to 90% in under 45 minutes anyway, even if I roll into the charging station at under 5%…
Yes, in very poor countries, they subsidize the data usage for WhatsApp, so that it’s free to end users. It’s extraordinarily popular in Asia and Africa as a result.
And now Meta knows when she’s having her period, the phone number of her gynecologist, and what period products she buys… thanks to the app spying on her health and fitness, contact, and shopping data.

WAS from users on mobile. Was.
This is why I prefer cloud services outside US jurisdiction, and refuse to use anything based in the USA - like iCloud. National Security Letters are a thing, and even massive companies like Apple can’t fight them.
And FYI, the info about Signal was confirmed as they received a subpoena a couple years back, and their response was part of the public court records.
Monterey still gets security updates. :)
