It seems to be UK only.

Touching fingers! Disgusting.

3.5” disks were standard on the Acorn Electron, and optional upgrades for the BBC Micro and BBC Master.

The deal Microsoft does with OEMs gives them a discount only if they pay Microsoft for every PC they sell, whether or not it actually comes with Windows.

Both DVD and blu-ray support branching paths the user can select, so I guess, why not both? Let the viewer pick.

Of all the things I thought Star Trek would never reference, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace was pretty high up there.

Just don’t let Tim “wave” the flag again.

Please buy Tesla… and fire Elon.

I honestly don’t think it’s that big a deal. When the leather cases got marked people called it “patina” and said it was a good thing. I always thought it was pretty disgusting.

I think these new cases are fine, and that Apple blogs love a good outrage story.

What the hell are you watching that has a bitrate of >100Mb? Because unless you have a 16K television I suspect the answer is nothing.

Sonoma not supporting your Mac does not mean that it is obsolete. Apple still supports macOS Big Sur with updates, and that came out in 2020.

Macs that can’t run Sonoma will continue to be supported for many more years.

Apple has a 14 day return policy for any reason. If you just bought them, return them.

Maybe I’m entirely wrong: isn’t this the forced obsolescence that Apple is famous for?

Apple does not and never has practiced forced obsolescence. In fact, quite the opposite, as iOS is supported in iPhones for much longer than any version of Android ever is.

The “famous” story is about Apple keeping your phone alive by (necessarily) throttling the CPU when your battery was worn out, so that it wouldn’t shut down due to lack of power.

If they did anything wrong, it was not explaining this well enough.

Sure! I’d be happy to.

The satellites operate in an extremely low orbit. At the end of their life they are manually de-orbited. If they fail, they will naturally de-orbit themselves in just a few years. They contribute to “space junk” in no way.

The precise position of all the Starlink satellites is known, and space is much bigger than you appear to be imagining, so the network will in no way impede lauching rockets.

There is no need to simply make stuff up about Starlink. There are plenty of reasons to hate Elon without inventing things.

This is a complete non story. They have a design life of only a few years. They have already been replaced in orbit with upgraded ones.

Total clickbait.

…says “analyst” that doesn’t know how many pre-orders Apple has taken.

Not showing up for me either. Don’t know why.

Edit: They show up when I look in the Home app on my Mac, but not on my iPhone.

Because famously you can get Doom to run on things with a screwdriver.
