The icons in the 'application drawer' on Android are only in alphabetical order if you deliberately tell it to sort them. I like them unsorted, actually, because that means they are sorted by 'install order' instead.
You need to deliberately tell it to sort the icons in the 'application drawer' from time to time, because it's not a directive to 'sort the icons from this point on', it's a one-time operation. After sorting them, the new icons again pile in at the end of the order.
Back when I had an iPod Touch, you could double-click the Home button and it would bring up a row of icons for the Apps you had recently run. You could go back to re-run an App quickly with that trick.
Of course, eventually the Home button on my iPod Touch got flaky, because it was a physical button and moisture could get into it. So even single clicking became difficult. Double-clicking reliably became very difficult.
Switching to a totally new filesystem is also a slick way of making sure people don't revert back to an earlier version of MacOS. The old MacOS will no longer read your drive after the upgrade.
Apple has to wait until the processor they are designing into the new Mac Pro goes obsolete before they can release it. Jony is that way about the insides of the computer. He loves retro, but not on the outside of the box.
Wall Street refers to Apple as a 'gadget maker.' They really only see the iPhone. Any other product lines are seen as side products. People in Wall Street look at Apple and basically consider the Apple Watch and the Macintosh as about the same thing: a side distraction for Apple.

My wife ordered one a few weeks ago to give to my 6 year old nephew. I had never heard of them and have no idea how he knew about them, but apparently he's more hip to the scene than me these days. Oh well.
I would say the score of 2 probably came a few millisconds after the reply. Dude has a good enough rep and doesn't check off 'no karma bonus' and gets a default 2.
Something you've probably never had the option of doing, eh?
The first Macintosh (and all the subsequent dinkyscreen Macs) used an extremely long torx screw to secure the case. It required an extremely long torx screwdriver that is still quite difficult to source. You could force the screw out carefully with the right long-handled flat-blade screwdriver and replace it with a phillips head, but it was a strong deterrent to opening the Mac. People don't want to have to jimmy open a machine they spent $5000 on.
That's true but oil is traded on the global market. If an area that produces a lot of oil is all of the sudden not producing oil because of war then oil gets expensive even for those that don't buy oil from that area. That oil has to be replaced by those that continue to produce oil, and increasing production costs money.
Increasing production (in the US) under conditions where prices have gone up involves more money coming into the US. It just doesn't make sense for the US to defend the rights of non-US entities to get cheap oil from non-US sources.
There's a lot of goofy new clickbait stuff on Slashdot these days.
In the summary, anyway, I didn't see anything about the parts-per-billion of lead being measured. There are tiny trace amounts of everything in everything. That's how how the messy business of life works.
I remember the last time a new Republican administration came to power and the trace amounts of arsenic in drinking water was hysterically discussed.
If it can be measured, and it can be made a political issue, it becomes one.

Android has a back button to 'go back' one stage.
It also has a Home button, to do what you're wanting- return to known good state (start).
Do you know anything at all about Android??

Insert verbiage here about 'the hood of the car welded shut.'
Why would you want to touch the engine? Eeeeew! You'll get your hands dirty!

I bought a first edition Charizard card at near the price peak. It wasn't even mint. A week or two later, I got a mint one in an expansion pack.
Musk is just copying again, because there's prior art there.

I have an IBM box in my collection that is a POWER1 system. It runs AIX and I think it will do 100 picoFlops or something.
With POWER1 the central processor was a whole set of chips. It's also Microchannel Architecture.

Yeah, like Ctrl-Click...
Early Mac keyboards didn't even have a control button on them.

I remember what a weird arcane experience it was the first time I used a Mac.
What does 'sexy phone' even mean? Are you implying that anybody else should only handle your phone with rubber gloves on?

The thing that's fucked is people like you thinking your edgy sarcasm is anything but garbage to dump into discussions.

Or, conversely, before it was trendy to post-mortem "identify" people as being gay, without any real evidence..
Torrents obviously pay for channel distribution. We find it on Pirate Bay.
Don't be so naive.
