It makes me (maybe unreasonably) angry that you need to be careful buying one to make sure you get the M4 Pro MacBook Pro if you want the upgrade. It took me a bit to wrap my head around the wording, don't make your shit confusing Apple!
Reverse image search pulls up a Romanian website and that is the title page of something called the hobbit almanac. At least according to Google translate. Which just raises a lot more questions.
This free-lance journalist reported on the Afghan rebels' resistance to the Soviet-backed regime in their country and filed his stories back to the U.S. using an Osborne computer
Wow, some bits of that magazine did _not_ age super well:
I have _never_ heard of this before and I was around at the time that ad got printed.
Then, a few pages later:
The Floptical disk came out just a few years before the Zip Drive. The need for a new drive to read the disks meant it never really had time to catch on before the Zip Drive, which initially released with 100x more capacity than a floppy vs the Floptical's 15x, buried it. I personally never ran across a computer during that period that had a Floptical drive.
Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

Oh yeah, once the vultures get in there people will stop caring. Good way to drive up the value of the Google/MSE/Azure type certs at least. And maybe will give CompTIA some competition in the space eventually.
It's too bad since they were a nonprofit. They're not gonna be anymore!
Amazon's robo-taxi company saying that they don't have to apply for an exemption from safety regulations because they're "self-certifying the vehicles' safety features" is an absolutely breathtaking play that a. almost certainly won't work and b. won't stop them from deploying their stupid auto-driving boxes and I'm genuinely curious about how this plays out, companies are getting increasingly comfortable playing chicken with regulators around the whole self-driving taxi question and I really, really wish they'd stop. Cars are big and dangerous!
Edit: Amazing quote:
“We’ve spent an incredible amount of money and time and people complying with the FMVSS regulations as they are,” Levinson said, “and because there aren’t traditional manual controls, in some cases, that requires, you know, interpreting them in a way that is relevant to a robotaxi.”
We aren't following the regulations but we're interpreting them in a way that let's us do what we want, which we think is pretty much the same thing.
It's some supervillain shit, like Elon's goddamned totally not a lottery because I'm very rich and very amoral and your country is set up to enshrine me shit

I could either get a new smartphone on payments, and stay yoked to Google, or I could get a feature/"dumb" phone of some flavor (which is becoming an increasingly healthy market as of late)

I'm typically just playing games that natively work on MacOS.
Played through BG3, Hades and Disco Elysium on there.
Currently I'll load up Civ or Rimworld.
Definitely not playing shooters or AAA rpg's. I'll do that on the gaming pc.

So the only certs I have will be worthless!
(If 15 year old A+/Network+ certs are worth anything anyway. I guess I also have a Windows 95 cert I got when I graduated high school....)

Of ducking course.

they don't have the money to do inspections and audits
and then they're one step separated from being at fault if something goes wrong
But think of the returns to shareholders if they don’t spend the money.
Satans..... hints.....
oh I meant the government agencies don't have the money
the corporations certainly do, while also having the incentive to not spend it
It is crazy how much memory and SSD upgrades are.
24gb to 48gb is an extra $500cdn.
Decided to just upgrade the CPU and go for the 1TB SSD.
The universe is trying really hard to turn me into a hermit lately.
