A real, independent profitable retailerwho makes the products they sell? Or are those all made by the same 7 companies that make all the shit sold by the big chain stores?
It's almost as though you have no clue what the fuck you're talking about. You're thinking chargeoff, which is something entirely different. One is the result of you calling your credit card company and initiating the process of them pulling your money back out of the pocket of some company that is trying to rip you off; the other is the result of you not paying your bills.
How many here swore up and down that the higher courts would end up ruling against Jarlstrom when I pointed out that he wasn't technically in violation of the law in question? And more than a handful of them questioned my (legally sound) logic...
Fast-forward to now and, not only did the court rule that he was not in violation of any law; they ruled that the law in question, as written, was unconstitutional and ordered that it be rewritten.
One day the lot of you will learn to listen when I'm not trolling -- and I do attempt to make it fairly obvious when I am, in fact trolling. Like right now. Go ahead, take the bait.
Hard to tell around here. All of my trolls have gone silent and I haven't noticed you around before, so my initial assumption was... well, you can see where this is going. My apologies if that is not the case.
What people often don't realize about the headphone jack is that it takes power. This is this real problem for companies these days. A small audio amplifier places a drain on the battery. It also requires space on the PCB.
No, we realize that the small audio amplifier which is also required for speaker output takes power and requires space on the PCB. It must not be that much of a problem, since manufacturers are still putting speakers on their phones.
It's extremely difficult to design an audio amplifier with insanely good audio which fits within the real-estate constraints of a phone and also make it so there's no interference from all the surrounding radio circuits.
What about one of the single-chip solutions that actually fits into an earbud... and the shielding cans that are already in place over the radios?
Considering that I had been the first to reply... yeah, sure, let's go with that. Fuckwit.
If I'm posting at 9:36PM, referencing a neighboring post made at 9:00PM, and stating that I had posted something else "earlier today", I probably am not referring to a post made after that.
Funny, I replied to this post earlier today, saw that reply in my post history not long ago, and now it is gone. Slashdot, really? I was willing to overlook the poor editorial abilities of your staff, but censorship? And what I said wasn't even worthy of being censored; I merely said the same thing Lord_Byron, whose post has been allowed to stay, said; with near-identical wording, at that.
And here I thought people were making shit up talking about their posts being removed.
Chrysler tech here and I can confirm this for at least most Chrysler and Fiat vehicles produced in the past 5 years. The number of keyfob batteries I replace because the vehicle will only start if the button is pressed WITH THE FOB is secondary confirmation; without the battery allowing the fob to send pulses, the system reverts to a technology very similar to NFC (if not simply NFC by a different name) using an antenna embedded in the start button.
You're missing it, so I'll state it more plainly. I did literally write words similar to what you keep quoting (your edit changes the meaning a fair bit so, no, I did not write that), but it was not an endorsement of your work so much as a preface to an insult. Once again, my words were not an endorsement of your work and the fact that you had to edit them to make them appear to be such should be a dead giveaway of that.
I wouldn't bother replying to irrefutable logic, except to concede or agree, because I'm not an idiot. You, on the other hand, have just had your flawed logic refuted.
Or the T2 chip could pop up a "This Mac has been modified" message that requires user acknowledgment before booting. That is, before the "working side" could "hack around it". The whole security model of the T2 chip allows it.
I'm saying that, in the context in which I actually said it, it wasn't praise at all. You're too fucking dense to realize that, though... which, honestly, is not my problem.
Still an ad, still a valid question, still no affirmative response from you, and still quoting me out off context as explained in my signature. Still just as toxic, underhanded, and dishonest as always; nobody should use or trust software written by someone with those traits. How's that for a review? Dick.
You say your hosts file engine can protect us from advertising. Can you provide assurance that, should I choose to install and use it, I will stop seeing ads such as the one I am currently replying to?
1. A 2018 Macbook Pro, not the Mac mini (yeah, I know; but...)
2. High Sierra, not Mojave.
On point 1: They're gonna be running the same firmware with a different system identifier.
On point 2: High Sierra or Mojave would be on the SSD, not in the firmware. The firmware is what decides whether the SSD is even visible; what's on ther SSD is irrelevant.
IOW, I'm still not buyin' it; not with these self-referential "sources".
Additional point (3): Maybe you should buy it. Literally. Go buy one of the systems in question and try it. Report back.

And you realize how rare that is, in the grand scheme of things, right?
...
And how likely it is that the raw materials on those products all come from the same handful of companies as everything else...

Why not tell the idiot who posted it, and not the guy who was quoting him to explain how he was wrong?
That's because your SuperBeats have SuperBluetooth... SuperDre...

Well there's a reason I changed career paths at 36... That said, I have more issues with the Ford I drive daily than I see on the typical FCA vehicle.
Ah, but it will lock with the fob inside if the car is running

I can see using an old Mac to put Linux on, just to give the old system some life again.
And in 5 years that's what this is about..
But a new system?
See above. What will today's new system be in 5 years?
I see that; but I also see that this was:
1. A 2018 Macbook Pro, not the Mac mini (yeah, I know; but...)
2. High Sierra, not Mojave.
On point 1: They're gonna be running the same firmware with a different system identifier.
