No IIe has 512MB RAM (or storage), and Jobs was gone before the IIgs or "Apple II Forever." I have a very tricked out IIgs (4MB RAM, 128MB CFFA card, Uthernet II Ethernet card, VidHD HDMI card), and it's nowhere near 512MB... The IIe was mostly configured with 128K RAM and dual 143K floppies...

There are ways you can make it less painful. A squid proxy, a local caching DNS server... Won't help with streaming, but for 'web traffic... I had an entire dorm hanging off a 33.6 modem for a year (pages were a lot lighter then, but still).
I use mine flying as a fuel timer. The haptic feedback can't be lost in the cockpit noise. I've also used it to time instrument approaches (VOR). I have a custom face setup that always shows "Zulu" (UTC) time digitally, local time on the simulated analog face - great for flying cross-country. I have Swiss automatics, a nice Omega and a reasonably nice Tissot, but my Apple Watch (first gen space gray aluminum with a $17 black stainless band from Amazon) is my "go to" watch ~95% of the time. Many folks I know wear Apple watches; anecdotes aren't trends, but at least in my social circles they're almost ubiquitous.
I have a manual in all of my vehicles (Jeep Wrangler, Porsche 968 Cabriolet, BMW E46 M3, Ducati Multistrada 620 Dark). Heck, I even have manual landing gear in my plane. But they're a dying breed. Ferrari already dropped it. Porsche brought it back in some recent models (Cayman GT4, 991R) but by and large they've disappeared. There was a recent sales event at Beverly Hills BMW, and with over 200 cars in stock, none was a standard.:( McLaren? Nope. (Aston Martin still makes 'em though.) Etc.

Whichever hardware Target standardises on, I would bet they make sure it's robust and comes with assurance of future upgrades. If necessary. Remember, these things are built into a closed retail ecosystem.
I started learning (teaching myself) AppleSoft BASIC when I was about 9. Before that, we used LOGO on TI-99s (I think). I wrote a database program (in BASIC, and it sucked, but it worked) in 7th grade.

It's a cheap and decidedly worthwhile upgrade to existing tech / cars. I stuck a Grom unit behind the stock radio in my '04 E46M3, and in my 21-year-old 1995 Jeep Wrangler I simply swapped in a sub-$100 new head unit (Clarion but there are so many options). Much better solution than wrestling with a 1/8" cord constantly, especially with the wear and tear those cords get in an automotive environment (jiggle it just right to get audio out of both channels...).

Says you. Just before I was born, I entered the Konami Code. I get 29 more tries at this shit. Sigh. Seemed like a good idea at the time...

Well over 80% of all cars in Europe have a manual gearbox.
Which is odd, because according to BMW, they only made the recent M5 with a stick to satisfy the American market!

Lena Dunham though, I can't find any case there except for her defence of a Girls' Writer who was accused.

Oh, okay then. What could possibly go wrong?
Where's the Apple support for 30 pin dock connector charging?

Maybe on Android. That's not Apple's business model (it is Google's), and Apple's permissions structure makes it much harder for apps to misbehave.

Could have had a Minix port. The source code was published in Tanenbaum's ubiquitous textbook on operating systems.
