Sure, most of them are bored because they've been fed media and entertainment non-stop their whole lives. After a while, either you need even more of it, or you become numb to it and lose interest.
The smart ones learn things and then start doing things on their own. You can start doing CAD, computer programming, microcontrollers, robotics, computer-assisted manufacturing such as 3D printers, CNC routers and laser cutters, etc.
When you start designing and making your own projects, the next blockbuster movies or the new trendy TV shows become a lot less important in your life and they go back their normal "entertainment" status.
Researchers at Germany's Neumayer Station III say they've picked 3.6 kilograms (8 pounds) of salad greens, 18 cucumbers and 70 radishes grown inside a high-tech greenhouse as temperatures outside dropped below -20 degrees celsius.
Only -20C? They should try their experiment in Canada, where we have real winters, eh?
Imagine a deal with Microsoft where the next version of macOS could run Windows applications natively, without having to install or use Windows at all? If they did that, x86 compatibility wouldn't matter to 95% of users.
Yes there was a change between classic macOS and the new macOS (previously known as OS X). However, one of the CPU change (PowerPC to x86) happened on OS X and there was no real change for the end-user, things just continued to work (apart from old PowerPC apps that were now running via Rosetta).
Apple switching to their own A-series CPUs will probably be more of the same, you'll be running your old x86 OS X apps via "Rosetta 2". I wouldn't be surprised to see most apps running even faster if Apple can make a really powerful, 16-cores "A12" and some brilliant emulation tricks, using half the watts of the Intel equivalent.
You assume everyone has access to a fast reliable and low-latency connection all the time. There's a reason some people never store anything in the freakin' "clouds" of companies.
If it means a much lower price on the future MacBook Air replacement, I'd buy one only if it could still run my old x86 programs. I only need basic programs so I would probably not even notice a 50% drop in speed.
Apple has done two successful CPU transitions in the past, from 86K to PowerPC then PowerPC to x86. I'm sure they'll be able to handle x86 to ARM quite successfully.
Apple's A-series processors now have comparable power to Intel and better built-in graphics capabilities. We can only imagine they would be even more powerful within laptops (bigger batteries) and desktop computers (no battery limitations at all, much better heat dissipation).
Apple loses the economies of scale that Intel enjoys, eating into cost savings.
Apple would gain even better economies of scale because they already need to manufacture their A-series CPUs for the iPhones and iPads. If they can somehow simply link more ICs together for parallel processing, their cost per IC would be even lower. As a bonus, they would stop filling Intel's bank account.
The original submitter argues that front-end development "is a much simpler domain," leading to its own discussion.
Clearly the original submitter has only ever done simple front-end development. Back-end code either works, or doesn't.
Front-end code has to take into account multiple operating systems, multiple browsers, multiple versions of those browsers, hundreds of devices, an extremely wide range of processing power and RAM combinations... in short, your back-end code is a walk in the park.
Google suggests creating FDLs from now on, or using other shortening services like Bitly and Ow.ly.
Why use shortened links to begin with? What's wrong with using full links?
In the end, all these shortening services do is break the web. The same goes for third-party image hosting services. I keep finding threads where people have posted projects online but all the photos are broken because of Photobucket's new terms of service.

The rule should be "only if the server is located in your own country".
And that's why the USA has fucked-up laws and cannot be called a democracy.
Celery is too spicy for me, I prefer to eat ice cubes.
It doesn't really matter, since space is infinite.

Hell yeah!
You're talking about green peppers, right?
Oh yeah? Well, I'll build my own DNS! With blackjack, and hookers!
You're right it's actually 4460 and not 4660.

Are the new i5, i7 and i9 CPUs also vulnerable to these flaws?
Intel has so many CPUs that they can't even keep track of all of them.
They listed the old Core 2 Duo of my Mac mini as STOPPED (shocking, I know), but I can't even find the i5-4660 of my gaming PC in the document.
I knew something wasn't right at the time I wrote my comment. Now I know why.
Thank you.
This guy gets it.
I think Apple will blow everyone away and use PCI instead of ISA.
ARM does not requires iOS. Apple probably already has macOS running on ARM laptop prototypes.

It will also help Google know if hentai tentacle porn is more popular than hentai furry porn.
Well of course you like your MacBook Air. It's the best laptop Apple has ever made.
