The problem is people only pay for the cool and fancy stuff. Thats why projects like blender and krita are killing it while bluetooth audio and gui libraries are in such a dire state.

Competitors have an advantage where you buy a macbook and the profits go to every single part and not just the eye catching features.

It would also cover 100% of legal speeds in my state. More than good enough for me and pretty much everyone assuming it works well at its top speed.

For all we know there is a software limiter meaning its top speed is well within the safe range. It would be pretty poor to sell a car that would fail quickly under normal usage.

What kind of source are you looking for. This is about hundreds of changes that all build up to a more locked down experience.

iOS has always been locked down.

MacOS now won't run unsigned software. Mac Pros will brick if you replace the SSD with another genuine SSD.

Safety net on android makes it harder to use root. There is an API to block screenshots. Security changes in Android 11 break termux and all other bash apps.

Windows tried RT and the S version but it doesn't seem to be replacing the regular one yet.

Not at all. Docker on a raspberry pi is a massive pain in the ass. Half the images are not compiled for ARM.

Yes movie DRM does seem completely pointless. Game DRM on the other hand does seem to hold up for the first few months which is where most of the sales happen. It would be nice if devs dropped the DRM once it is cracked though.

I'm guessing that the people who have this cracked keep it a secret so only their inner group has the method which lets them leak all of the new content and Google has no idea which key or process has been cracked.

Its likely the end of the days of installing an alternative OS. Bootcamp support has been dropped and Linux support will likely not exist.

And then there is the OS which is getting more and more locked down so that you can not run unsigned software without increasingly difficult workarounds.

On one hand, alternative OS support on macbooks has gotten worse and worse over the last few years but it is sad to see the final nail in the coffin.

Its not a choice because not a single item on that list can be closed and let me do my job. So rather than petitioning to replace 10 years of existing software development, I'll ask for a 32gb laptop.

Basically. What are you going to do? Not release your app on apple devices? No, you will do whatever it takes to work it out yourself.

Victoria had an exploding case count that was set to match the rest of the world before the government did a hard lockdown. And not just the feel good ones they do in the US, the lockdown meant you could only leave the house for 1 hour a day for exercise within a 5km radius and anyone who absolutely had to leave the house had to show proof and wear a mask. The case count fell sharply only after these measures were put in place.

I'm a rails dev and I constantly struggle with 16GB. Once you start up rails, background workers, webpack, vs code, MS teams, a database, plus your web browser you very quickly run out of memory.

The problem is less that students can look up answers online, its that they could hand the laptop to someone experienced and have them complete the exam for the student.

An ideal situation would be allowing students to use online resources but not to communicate with other people during the exam.

Victoria, Australia had a lockdown that lasted for only 3 months and completely eradicated covid from the state.

Likely the same reason as always. Mass production. Everything about cow milk is mass produced and hyper competitive. Its a wonder that your milk costs so little and not that the oat milk costs $4.
