    I predict they will switch to something derived from their phone silicon, maybe an ARM CPU paired with a GPU.  They will start with the lowest end MacBooks and work their way up from there.  It makes it easier to develop MacOS and iOS and it will cut cost out of the Mac lineup.  I think you'll see low end Windows laptops that are essentially the same thing.

    Essentially your laptop is becoming a big phone.

    Apple is currently developing an ARM-based Macbook that uses a juiced up version of the iPad pro processor

  2. It's a shame that memory is so expensive to get on a Mac. 8GB of memory is ok if all they're going to do is web browsing and working on word documents, but if they're doing anything with spreadsheets or trying to do much multitasking, they're going to hit bottlenecks and it'll feel sluggish.

    Or ya know, if they open a trillion fucking tabs and never close them, which NEVER happens lol

    Bob Kroll is a piece of shit.  What of it?  Did Trump hire him?  Did Trump continue to employ him?  Did Trump promote him through the ranks of the MPD?  I'm just a big dummy, so explain to me how responsibility for Bob Kroll falls at Trump's feet, and not the government of the city of Minneapolis 

    Trump has featured Kroll at one of his campaign rallies

    Literally elevated him on a national stage, and talked at length about how the cops just aren't being allowed to do their jobs anymore.

    It's a pretty fair assessment to say that he was directly supported and empowered by being brought on stage and told over and over how respected and powerful he is by the president of the US.

    question I have is when they say type A do they just mean Type A or do they mean all the Types that start with A?

    A is a type, and AB is another type but it can accept donations of A, in addition to B or AB, with the matching type being most preferred. I think with regards to COVID, it's only been observed to disproportionately impact type A patients. Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong though

  5. Surprised this hasn't been posted here yet

    Fox News apologized Saturday for how it displayed a chart correlating the stock market's performance with the aftermath of the deaths of George Floyd, Martin Luther King Jr. and Michael Brown.

    The graphic that aired Friday to illustrate market reactions to historic periods of civil unrest "should have never aired on television without full context. We apologize for the insensitivity of the image and take this issue seriously,” the cable channel said in a statement.

    I never thought that old guy with the Dow hats would live to wear a Dow 50000 hat but it’s not only happening, but likely in 2021.  Who would’ve guessed?

    Multiple expansion bro.  

    It only makes sense in this economic climate if you think about it.

    At :03 in the first vid he touches the pusher with his paper on the arm

    You're right, anyone who touches a cop deserves to be assaulted and denied medical care by a first responder. Since you only cared once you realized he was elderly, and all...

  11. Not sure which thread to put this is, but the GOP thread seems like a good start:
     

    Ukraine found no evidence against Hunter Biden in case audit: former top prosecutor

    Quote

    The audit was part of a broader reform of the prosecution service but became politically charged given some of the cases related to Burisma’s founder.

    “Regarding the call to Zelenskiy and this story with Burisma. I can say that there was no pressure on me,” Ryaboshapka said. “The audit was completed.”

    “I specifically asked prosecutors to check especially carefully those facts about Biden’s alleged involvement. They answered that there was nothing of the kind,” he added.

    Ryaboshapka was fired in March after lawmakers accused him of not moving quickly enough in prosecuting cases. Ryaboshapka said he was axed because he had started bringing real reform to the prosecution service for the first time in a way that threatened the interests of corrupt politicians.

    Trump was impeached on charges of abuse of power and obstruction in the Democratic-led House of Representatives after he asked Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. He was acquitted by the Republican-controlled Senate.

    Hunter Biden’s activities at Burisma have also been the target of scrutiny by a U.S. Senate committee.

    Unwittingly caught up in the impeachment row last year, Zelenskiy has said Ukrainians are “tired” of the issue and does not want Ukraine being dragged into the 2020 presidential race.

    May be good to let Lindsay and Raphael know...

    More on the pepper sprayed to death inmate story:

     

    https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/inmate-dies-pepper-sprayed-cell-71063740

    Jesus christ from the article:

    Quote

    “He became increasingly disruptive and potentially harmful to himself and others,” the agency said in a statement. “Pepper spray was deployed and Floyd was removed from his cell.”

    He was "potentially harmful to himself", so they took it upon themselves to finish the job. Sure would be fucking ominous if BOP officers started policing protests without nametags and unit identification....
