Apple are, as usual, putting form before function, i.e. a quiet computer instead of a properly cooled one. And when the fans need to be heard it's because the CPU is already close to over-heating.
Same reason why most Mac users don't care as much as the hardware as the PC users. We use a Mac for the OS and the software available for it.
That said, I work on a Mac but I game on a PC that's much more powerful. I don't mind Windows, it's just there to run the game and I don't really interact with it apart from that.
I am a real American and I know that *wIthout* net neutrality, millions MORE will be served as companies expand coverage and increase investment in structure for the countryside.
Obvious troll is obvious but I have to reply anyway: companies almost never invest in the countryside because the cost of infrastructures is way too high vs the potential number of subscribers.
However, it would be nice to do the same thing Tesla does with their cars: always keep the battery between 30~70% (or was it 40~80%?). Letting the phone charge its battery to 100% every time and letting it drop to 0% just kills lithium-ion batteries.
Just let the user set "maximum battery run time" or "maximum battery longevity".

The question is, why the fuck are people carrying expensive hardware in back jeans pockets in the first place.
That's what she said.
I don't even know what your rant is about.
Look up "smcFanControl".

As an example, compare today's value with the first ever Bitcoin purchase, two pizzas for 10 000 Bitcoins.
The scale required to reach one million dollars per coin is a lot smaller than what has happened so far.
As far as I know, the goal of Elon Musk was to push other manufacturers into making electric cars.
I'd say he succeeded, at least partially.
Nobody.
Next question?
Ah yes, the parallel port. The port I used to connect almost anything except a printer.
Remember LPT 8-bit DAC?
Remember LPT SNES gamepad?
I 'member!
Interesting. Source?
It's just a fancy name for "work bench", a.k.a. the place where you put your 3D printer and Arduino projects.
Me: "free"
Michael Eisner: Thank you DontBeAMoran, that was the joke.
Dude, the Mac mini is only $499 and also has four USB ports. At only $125 per port, it's a much better value!
No FireWire 400.
Lame.
Xeon CPUs and powerful GPUs inside a pointlessly thin computer with a built-in display? What for? Who the fuck asked for this?
Either the internal heat will kill components prematurely or the thing will make even more jet noise than an old PowerPC G4 tower.
Judge: Please show us where the ISP touched you.
Well, 129 million is 111101100000110001001000000 and 50 million is 10111110101111000010000000, so clearly 1.00989989898999E26 Americans are starving.

The U.S. government is corrupt.
FTFY
Yes I know, most Apple users aren't nerds, etc.
However, it would be nice to do the same thing Tesla does with their cars: always keep the battery between 30~70% (or was it 40~80%?). Letting the phone charge its battery to 100% every time and letting it drop to 0% just kills lithium-ion batteries.

But in case of an emergency, will Apple's "help" drop your call to 911 because the cellular radio is in a low-power state?
Dear Samsung, AC above said that your phones are blazing fast.
Dude come on it's not that bad. I mean, there's only 927 crypto-currencies listed on coingecko.com so... oh, yeah ok I see what you mean.
About 900 of those are me-too crap though, you can safely ignore them. Unless they replace Bitcoin one day, in which can you shouldn't ignore them.
