    All I said is moving parts have drawbacks. That’s true. Then a million people kept on the thread to try to claim otherwise, yourself included. Now you’re resorting to 4chan style c…

    Indeed we shouldn’t have hinges or locks because moving parts have drawbacks, in contexts where that matters. For instance portals that don’t need a door at all, or walls that don’…

    Connected to a gear that needs oil, a chain that needs oil and can rust, or a rope that withers. Being overly dismissive of failure modes isn’t a good look. I don’t claim that fixe…

    What is your point in stating that public housing uses them? (aka the government buys them). No clue why this turned into a huge debate. I don’t have a dog in this fight, all I’m s…

    The parent…? Who pays for public housing? And what relevance would the weather otherwise have..?

    A government paying for a thing does not in any way imply that the thing is a good use of money. How many decades of fabric replacements could you get from the savings of bolting o…

    We have them in america too. But every moving part comes with inflated costs for both acquisition and ongoing maintenance.

    Can you name another time the software team has lagged so far behind the hardware release and marketing? Nearly every ad I’ve seen the world over has touted “Apple Intelligence” as…

    I’d prefer it to be one that the developers have specifically targeted and developed/tested against, especially if there’s any GPU involvement.

    Again, you’re letting your machines decide what information exists, rather than accepting they might not have the capability of deciphering all that is out there.

    Isn’t Postgres a fairly capable IAM provider, all things considered? I’d their access control mechanisms at least as much as a run of the mill external backend’s.

    Apple of yesteryear would issue a patch update model and let this feature cook until it was ready for release. Current approach is sloppy in a decidedly un-Apple way.

    They don’t have a reputation for releasing hardware without software to back it either. One way or another, an unprecedented process failure has occurred.

    Which boggles the mind… did nobody tell the software team that a release was coming?

    It nullifies your entire diatribe and all of its bogus numerics, but O.K. Good sign of someone arguing dishonestly is that when you call out their lies, they tell you that the trut…

    You’re the only one here fascinated with this haplotype. Which is odd, considering you yourself call it inconsequential. Nobody but you has equated it with anything, and you have s…

    Your pseudoscience above would make it seem nobody has any DNA from any ancestors at all, as there were not your 10^Whatever creatures ever in existence. Once you figure out the bu…

    What is your claim exactly? It seems as if you think somehow DNA didn’t exist as a means of transferring genetic information to offspring prior to it being discovered. I can’t imag…

    Aside, Jewish line is determined by matrilineal descent. By your own logic the mitochondrial DNA is shared, which is a rather significant aspect to simply gloss over.
