    And temperatures alone does not mean anything. Add humidity to the mix, and a dry 30C will be nice in the shade while a humid 25C will feel like hell even in the shade.

    On december 15th 2017, one Bitcoin was worth USD$17,900.

    10,000 Bitcoins * $17,900 = USD$179,000,000.

  7. People like you, putting a dollar sign at the expense of everything else is exactly why we're having so many problems today, both environmentally and as a society.

  8. Which planet are you from? You can still take a Color Computer 3 or a Commodore 64 from decades ago, plug them in and they will start instantly just like they did when they were brand new.

  9. That's the way everything should be. Granted everything is integrated now, but since a battery doesn't last forever it should be the one component that is required to be easily replaced.

  18. Which MacBook did you receive? What lock-in are you talking about and compared to what? Windows 10 is the worst by comparison.

    And if you're not using it, give it or sell it to someone who will.

  19. Everyone has different boundaries and different limits. It just happens that these people have the same limits as Google, except for this new secret project.

  20. The document referred to the situation as a "code yellow," a process used in engineering to address critical problems that impact several teams.

    Apple can do inexpensive. They've done it in the past (iPod shuffle, iPhone SE, Mac mini) and they're still doing it right now (Mac mini).

    Apple's "inexpensive" is going to be the same price as the other guys' "middle range" though.

    There's also rumours of an inexpensive laptop that will replace the MacBook Air. One of the most expensive component of a laptop is the "Intel Tax Inside".

    Given all the security holes we keep discovering in their CPUs I don't see why they're still selling at a premium price. And given Apple's love of control from top to bottom, they'll switch to their own ARM processors instead of going with AMD.
