There's no perfect filter and no perfect transmitter... correct. But the devices are required to accept reasonable interference and I guarantee that the 5g transmitters don't produce unreasonable interference. This is an issue, like has been said, of poorly manufactured/broken altimeters.

I wonder how long it'll be until they tie up this loophole.

With the spread of 5G mid and high band home internet service I wonder if that might not cover enough ground at some point to make it worthwhile. Verizon is actually selling it as unlimited internet for a decent price. I don't know about other carriers.

The answers are all in it's JavaScript source code, but what's the fun in that?

My $1000 Windows laptop from two years ago kills my M1 MacBook Pro. Benchmarks aren't everything and there's more to speed than just raw calculations.

I was a Borland C++ Builder user back in version 3 through 5 (which correspond kind of closely to Delphi) and it was as lightweight and fast as a C++ IDE could be. I've used what it has become in version 10 and it's a disaster in comparison. It's massive, bloated, and nothing like the earlier IDEs that I remember. I've read that they have laid off/fired most of their in house staff and outsourced most of the work.

I don't know about the author's intent but licensed content seems to be one of the strongest reasons to use an API. Some translations have their own (esv.org for instance) but not all do. Unfortunately getting permission to add a translation to such an API is difficult at best and others have tried.

I don't want to hand my phone over the the police for any reason, locked or not. It just doesn't make sense to do so.

They already have it so that you can order by phone. A touchpad/kiosk type thing would make perfect sense too except maybe it required more hardware than they wanted to spend money on?

You may not realize this but Apple allows scripting apps on their platform now. There are two notable Python language interpreters Pyto and Pythonista. There are some shell environments too that include Unix style command shells and different interpreters.

I have a USB stick that I can use to reload Windows at any time. I downloaded Windows and put it on the USB key using their utility and if I were to replace a drive, my OS eats itself, etc. I just grab that stick. It really should be that easy with macOS too.

Most people don't have multiple computers and most people that own a Mac are unlikely to have two of them.

Cable isn't the only problem, companies like AT&T are too.

I don't think the money has to go to municipal fiber though. I'm currently in a rural city running 1Gbps/1Gbps with no data caps because of a small company got extra funding.

There have been tons of display issues especially with the M1 Mac Minis. I honestly expect a lot of them to be resolved (if possible) in 11.2. Apple even called me directly so they could understand my problem better even though I had returned my Mac Mini. I'm confident they're on it.
