Would you say the same thing about Apple?

The "replaceable" SSD in the M4 Mac Mini is proprietary and will not accept a standard M.2 module. This was a deliberate choice.

Assuming you locate an exact match, you need a second, working, Mac to provision it.

The entire process is user-hostile from start to finish yet the criticism is few (and I've even read praise of this practice on Mac fan sites).

Which is more likely, your barista collecting this data for nefarious purposes, or your ISP?

Are you going to stop using Linux because the NSA is a major code contributor?

Huawei is too, and they were founded by a guy from the PLA.

The author theorizes that games are an ideal malware delivery vehicle but... aren't games typically connected to a user's headset/mic regardless?

I'm a bit puzzled how "secure environment" has a direct connection to "data collection" and "adversary".

Well they must give the stateside CSRs a different script because whenever I win the lottery and get an American on the phone it's a night and day difference. Notably they seem capable of solving complex problems without lying or smoke and mirrors.

An actual example, I recently had an issue that while straightforward and not that difficult to solve, was likely "off script". After being handed off between 4 different chat agents, and subsequent phone calls with two different Indians (who lied and made promises that weren't kept), my problem was not solved. At my wits end (and nearly 2.5 hours of my time wasted) I called back one more time. Inexplicably, I got a lady with a Southern accent. She solved my problem in under 10 minutes (and that included the approval she had to get from her supervisor).

Everyone is so preoccupied with losing their minds every time Trump trolls the media with some new nonsense on the socials that they're ignoring the completely insane things going on in the UK right now. Like arresting people for using naughty language online.

20 years ago this would have been daily outrage on Slashdot's YRO section but I get the feeling no one cares enough anymore.

I love that many of the scripts in the OpenBSD base system are written in Perl.

I'm in awe at the number of people that will go to bat for things like artificial dyes in food, only because the policy is coming from the present administration. It's just common sense. We don't need to be ingesting this shit. It's cosmetic and not needed for nutrition. Why are you feeding your child Fruit Loops and not Cheerios?

I personally have known people who develop migraines after eating food with artificial dyes. We can sit here and snipe and play semantics and argue over pointless details but why bother? Just get rid of them all.

It's extremely presumptuous of you to assume that everyone who shops at Walmart are uneducated simpletons.

Maybe they're smarter than you with money. The same box of cereal that costs less than $2 at Walmart is almost $6 at Whole Foods.
