Then I will double down on that it is horseshit. Go buy the cheapest shittiest RAM available. If it works out of the box the odds of failure are down the same as every other component in your PC.
If the machine crashing brings your entire business to a halt for hours
Then you likely wouldn't be using MacMinis and instead something with ECC memory and massive forms of redundancy rendering the entire discussion moot.
Sorry but I disagree that there's any value at all in "premium RAM" unless you're getting paid for the instruction and need the absolute tightest timings, or are paying for buffered ECC, neither of which applies to the Mac Mini.
You care that MrLogic17 cares? That's some next level human empathy right there. Personally I don't even know who MrLogic17 is so I don't give a shit about him or any of his opinions.
I'll take your bet. You won't be. Google's reCAPTCHA has never locked out anyone and has always offered fallback methods including to those people physically incapable of answering the reCAPTCHA. Additionally their customers would not allow false positives to drive down traffic.
Now pay up. I can declare my success already because your tin-foil-hat scenario makes no sense, not from the end user perspective, not from Google's and not from Google's customers.
You're actually training Google to know what a crosswalk, stop sign, and cyclist look like. Just remember that when you get run over by a self driving car.
I think one time I cycled through picking objects something like 15 times! Absurd.
If you're cycling through repeats it is often because you have been identified as a high risk connection. I can hit the same website directly and get through with a single question: Tick the crosswalks, and then go again with a VPN and sit there clicking on pictures for minutes before it believes me that I am in fact a human.
3. Having consumers that are perfectly happy with their mobile internet running at 90s dial-up speeds
Huh? Can you explain this one? From a technical point of view that is. From a human consumer point of view you don't need to explain because it's completely wrong and shitty EDGE is not tollerated much less makes people "happy"
According to the article, Apple is rolling out unfinished technology.
They are doing no such thing. The only new technology in play here is eSIM. The only new feature of eSIM that isn't part of the standard SIM package is remote provisioning. This incidentally is also something that carriers around the world (including the USA) have already implemented.
It's little more than a curios quirk as to why this technology only fails to work in America and yet works just fine in the rest of the world.

That's one of the reasons AMD released "Gamers Profile" for Threadripper chips where half of the cores would be disabled and the extra thermal and electrical headroom dedicated to higher core clock boosts.
Threadrippers get a nice speed boost as a result of this feature. Though benchmarks have shown it is actually a hindrance for many of the games on the market for something like the 2700X which only has 8 cores.
Render farm... where hardware h.265 encoder is a critical application... A friend of mine owns a landscaping business and could rent you a nice backhoe, not that I think you're not doing a fine job digging yourself and your argument in a hole, but still I'm sure he'd offer his services.
Rattlesnakes are no where near the threat that most Australian snakes are.
If there's enough of them to actively control a mice population then they sure as hell are. I'm picturing a local pest, kind of like how we drive down the road at night and see how many cane toads we can squish with our cars, but in snake form.
Or better yet, just turn off their internet complete. But on a more serious note, white-listing the internet is a recipe for disaster. A far better solution is to generate a blacklist and then flag up people who hit one of the blacklisted sites for further surveillance.
Blacklisting allows the internet to still be a usable resource. Whitelisting just pisses off your workers at best or cripples your productivity (depending on the work you do) at worst.
at the feet of the IT staff that allowed the malware to get as far as it did.
Why are we talking about malware? How about the IT staff that allowed someone to visit "thousands" of porn sites without being flagged down for disciplinary measures. I'm willing to bet that this happened over quite a period of time.
Given how the matters being decided don't have to do with wireless technology or rounded corners but rather boring arse legal contracts, I'll go with whomever the courts tell me to believe.

Get rid of rattlesnakes, and you're overrun by mice.
Mate, I'm from Australia and I have to say if your rattlesnakes are responsible for keeping your mice population under control then you wildlife scares me!

It's not about performance, but failure rate.

I guess you must not have watched much wrestling as a kid.
Nope. Please continue to enlighten me. As obvious as it may have been I still have no idea what you're talking about.
Clock speed is higher on the 16 core vs the 32 for applications
That's what the core disable function is for.
I'm glad you find encoding to licensed codecs so enthralling.
I think you'll find he's not enthralled, but rather like most people simply doesn't give a shit.
Wow. TIL the iPhone has a user manual.
I care

They should have dedicated an entire separate computer to the task of switching off audio. Clearly they still haven't made it complicated enough yet.

Well I guess in this brave new world we need to throw silicon at things that could be easily achieved via a dumb switch.

As a theoretical discussion, why would the phone announce where it is pushing outgoing calls? Why would the network need to know at all?

That's not just for Intel. That's general recommendations from processor vendors.
