I've had good luck with AppleCare and warranty service, and most of my Macbook's have lasted well.

On the other hand my sons 2021 Mac Mini M1 with an estimated < 20% writes remaining on the SSD is not looking very cool. In fact, rather disappointing and the computer will be junk soon due to the SSD only.

There is at least one very large derivatives marketplace that will require basic recent price information (OHLC) to be behind user registration by next year. Enjoy what you have done scrapers.

"I'd sure hate if someone did this to my site, but at least the agent did it for me. I don't have to feel guilty now."

This would have been a few years earlier... And I don't recall doing anything destructive.

It was definitely a game but I wasn't trying to cause any damage. No doubt I caused more than a few headaches though, which I do truly regret, having been on the other side of the same many times over the past 30 years.

The Warez scene was an absolute blast. I made some of the best friends of my early teenage years there, both online and online/offline.

Unfortunately it came to a sudden end after I got a little too cocky and persistently took and re-took control of a smallish US telecom companies network, and the RCMP came knocking on my door for the FBI. That was largely unrelated to Warez but the advice given to me was that I should probably stop that as well. Thankfully I was too young to be charged with any of it at that time.

I do regret the massive headaches I must have caused the system administrators at the telecom company. Sorry guys. I have repaid my bad karma many times.

I was in a small courier group way back when. FXP was definitely common. We could copy a lot of software in a small amount of time.

"Attempt at a coup"? I assure you if those folks had attempted a coup they most likely would have succeeded.

Those folks were there to make a statement and have the best party since before covid.

It is yes - in situations like that, your best bet is to view the SSL cert details. Of course, only if you trust the issuer. ;)

Not really the Pi's fault - really it's AI causing the massive increase in HW prices (notably RAM in this case) that has really destroyed the market for the Pi's.

Same thing happening for servers, gaming PC's, cell phones, so on.

This is kind of ridiculous. The fields are geographical areas, not political or cultural entities, and most of the pople living within a certain field don't have the slightest idea what or if any field they live in.

Surmountable - "possible to deal with or solve successfully".

Does not mean "easy". It means they can be overcome.

Discussing separation is okay when QC threatens it - hence the clarity act. But when AB wants to do it, they are just a bunch of redneck traitors according to the rest of Canada.

(Cue the "AB is nothing", "AB has no culture", folks that don't have a clue what they are talking about).

Of these, I really only see "indigenous rights/claims" as a particularly difficult issue.

For currency, The Maldives, with a relatively small population and tiny GDP has their own currency. What is the difficulty in currency? Ignoring the fact that AB would probably just use the greenback.

All of these of these issues are surmountable.
