I once bought a five gallon jug of Mobile1 oil from walmart.
Fortunately, I immediately went to top off my oil, right there in the parking lot.
I probably should have keyed in to the lack of a foil over the top--but fortunately, I noticed the color as soon as I started pouring and was able to bring it back inside . . .
I looked at solar water a couple of months ago when I had to replace my water heater.
And then I looked at my gas bill: for the prior summer month, a whopping seven dollars (yes, $7) for consumed gas over the $10 connection fee . . . and some of that was for the stove.
I also looked casually at solar electric, but I have a 50+ year old mulberry shading over half my roof, a swamp cooler, and a preference for temperature above $80. So systems *start* at 10-15 years of electric bills, and ones that actually *store* energy to let me leave the grid, well . . .
If the 2015 MacBook had oil filters, it wouldn't have gotten into my screen.
Yeah, I'm not making this up. It was on the floor of my trunk while I was packing, and the oil jug I put in the trunk before a road trip fell over, and turned out to have a hole.
It's *really* weird to have 5W20 synthetic slowly oozing out of your screen . . .
I'm sorry, but you just violated union rules by referring to New York Unions and California environmental issues without a representative of each union present.
I would love a filter that simply blocked *all* "sponsored" content.
I don't have a problem with ads that don't blink/move/bleat, don't slow my page loading, and don't track me. I've *never* blocked anything just for being an ad, even in the junkbuster era.
But sponsored results are something I never considered, so eliminating them would save me effort.

they already do this.
I pay an extra buck or two for two stream, and coul;d have four for another couple of bucks.
Instead, if two kids are streaming, I flip a coin for who gives it up so my wife and I can watch.

I opened it today, and it popped up a little piece about new "content blocking" for privacy.
I clicked to the second page, and it demanded that I turn on javascript to see the content . . . .

I recall decades ago when Byte evaluated some new-fangled compilers for microcomputers. I forget what language they did.

Again, you're missing the point.
There is no claim of higher performance, just lower failure rates. It is *entirely* about failure rates.
Most regular chips will never have an issue.
I don't have the specific numbers, but it's more a matter of going from 99% chance of no problem to 99.9% chance of no problem.
For most people and applications, it isn't worth the cost.

hawk
They're not even generally more expensive chips before apple starts with them.
Component failure is a statistical issue; passing apple's specs/testing means they're essentially hand picking chips that are less likely to fail.
As a starting point, seeing how far out of spec the chips runs before having issues gives a proxy for how likely it is to behave *in* spec.

>Is it the memory or the bus?
