What we need is more progress on the CPU front. AMD has 16-core processors but nothing similar on Intel's side. If only they could come up with a "Core i9" or something.
Is it so hard to plan the vacation in advance and take less work before that so by the time you're on vacation, there's no work to be done and when you go on vacation, pick up work again so it's timed with your return?
I wouldn't say "better", but the Surface Pro is a full computer (real version of Windows) while the iPad Pro is only iOS (good for basic stuff but nowhere near as useful as macOS).
I wonder when the first plane will crash from this idiotic policy?
People use the word "idiot", "idiotic" and "idiocy" at a 8532% higher rate than 25 years ago. Pre-cursor signs of the era of idiocracy and yet nobody is trying to change the future.
Maybe it's a good thing. It will force computer manufacturers to start making laptops with removable batteries again. After that, maybe they'll just say "fuck it" and give us back RAM slots too.
When they banned bringing water through security, the sales of water bottles inside the security area.
What happened to the sales of water bottles inside the security area? Don't leave us hanging, man!
This will create a huge demand for rental businesses. You can already rent portable DVD players that you return at your destination airport. This could be expanded easily to laptops and iPads.
Define "easily". Unless people start bringing all their accounts, programs and media/files/etc with them on a USB drive, it's not going to work for laptops. Not to mention the logistics of viruses/trojans/etc for the devices in question.
If this was a serious concern, then there are means by which it is possible to require passengers to demonstrate the working functionality of their laptop/netbook equipment before the flight.
It doesn't prove anything. You could easily replace parts of an old laptop with explosives (ex: remove the optical drive, replace the 2.5" HDD with a small compact flash card with IDE adapter, use a smaller battery, etc). It will still work anyway.
Hell, you could put liquid explosive into shampoo bottles, paste explosive in flat gum packaging (the ones wrapped in foil), you could even bring a sharpened pencil on board!
Or even worst, have variable-mass-matter in your luggage so you can crash the plane by sending a signal to the VMM controller.
When you succeed hacking the DHS: - Sell your modified data to Russia for a large reward. - Submit your findings to the DHS for a smaller reward and tell them Russia somehow got their hands on a non-working, modified copy of your findings.
1. Government pays for Bitcoins for the UBI program, let's say USD$2000 per coin. 2. Bitcoins lower in value, let's say USD$1000 per coin. 3. People receive 0.5BTC because that was worth USD$1000 when the government bought it.
Your scenario is still costing the same for the government and the people are getting less.

The target market is enthusiast PC users who like to have bragging rights about their computers.
Me? My gaming rig is a simple quad-core i5 with 8GB RAM, a 128GB SSD and an old 2GB GTX 650. Games run fine.
Here's a list of quad-core-or-better desktop processors priced under USD$100. Notice how it's all AMD because Intel only has dual-core processors in that price range.
In a few months, Star Citizen will require one of these overpriced monster!

FTFY
Because just like iOS, Android is a toy operating system.

Time-shifting, it's not only for TV shows!
So why the freakin' Android icon for this thread? Fanboy much?
Android and iOS are not Personal Computers. Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, etc are what makes a real computer.
I'd pick a Raspberry Pi 3 running Linux over an iPad.

What the fuck are you talking about? 2018 is... oh wait, your point of view.
Forget everything you just read. Or else.
So... no removable batteries and soldered RAM with no RAM slots to upgrade?
Just remember: we only have one road, but it goes both ways: east to west and west to east!
I say that because my nephew visited last year and he was forced to take his vacation in Gaspé.

And I may as well explain my joke to you: our new bills aren't made of paper.
It does in the USA, but not in Canada.
Just because a government buys them at $2000 today doesn't mean they're still worth $2000 tomorrow.

I think UBI means no more food stamps.
The people of Alpha Centauri were happy to hear about this.
