Living in a cold climate myself and owner of a diesel heater in the car I can see the point of that, as well as the AC for hot days. First instinct was just that it felt a bit funny even thinking about having the motor running when I wasn’t close to the car. Thank you for the answer!
Even though what you are saying is techically correct and the reason why things work this way I wish they didn’t. I would argue that since there was intent with the action and there were victims it should be considered a criminal case rather than just breaking the rules. The victims in this case being everyone losing money during a scheme like this.
The likeness of this towards accidently killing someone while breaking the rules for driving falls apart using this reasoning as well since in that case the intent isn’t to kill anyone. In the scenerio comparing this however to bank robbery both cases have the intent to get money.
Actually you are right, they apparently did the spoofing with the intent to deceive specific traders so that the traders take action on this false information.
The car analogy would have been accurate if they did what they did without a specific target.
I’m probably one of those people that don’t bother with the sponsored items. I’m not much of a spontanious shopper, if I buy something then I most often know what I want before I even go to the shopping site. Example is if I’m buying a tv then I don’t care if Samsung has an equal model at half off if I’m already set on getting a specific LG. I do look sround to see who has a better deal on the item I’m looking for however.
It's a neat idea, but take the second photo in the article for example: The guy gawking (well who knows, but it could be construed that way) at the women doesn't even have his face visible. Yet just from the clothing and context, his friends and colleagues would probably be able to identify him.
That said, if it works, your suggestion would probably cover >90% of cases.
Are you talking about iTunes Match which is $25/year? I used to keep everything myself in iTunes (music and movies/series) but the hostility towards local files had me move elsewhere. The not being able to search for local files is beyond annoying when using an apple tv and having a large local library in iTunes, I know they have since split iTunes into different apps.
I don't remember how much exactly they wanted or what was the service name that would resolve this freshly introduced annoyance. Some Apple stuff is more expensive where I live, than in the U.S. but it may have been $25 yearly not $20 monthly.
It pretty much looked like an extortion attempt: Apple blocked my access to owned, legal, lossless music files in their proprietary AIFF format and offered presumably the same music streamed from their servers for a fee.
IIRC this sharing functionality worked until Mojave and became problematic with the introduction of Catalina. It went from being an option in iTunes to being an option in the Sharing menu in System Preferences. It still used DAAP as an underneath technology but became problematic, with browsable but not playable library etc.
Before that, I had an IKE VPN set up from iPhone to home network which allowed accessing music residing on iMac's HDD while biking or hiking, on iPhone with much less storage than music library weight.
Downside of this as a tourist/visitor in Denmark at least some smaller shops force you to pay with cash since they don’t accept visa/mastercard but only the national debit card. Just a minor annoyance at least as a Swede since we don’t usually carry cash these days.
This would be my ideal way of doing it! Too bad my memory isn’t good enough to remember dates even in the scale of years and I probably wouldn’t be able to locate contracts/warranty papers etc with ease. I’m curious to try it still however just to see.
For me, the few things that are more important (insurance paperwork, certain types of health records, legal stuff, etc.) I do file separately in a file cabinet (or my fireproof box). But tossing most of it in a pile works pretty well--and anything it turns out I do need (e.g. for filing taxes) is almost certainly near the top of the pile.
Going full circle then back into the old days when this was almost always the case. Sadly no matter if it’s the old way or the new way of doing research politics, ego and personal disputes will still always play a big part.
We're going to have a relatively large number of children/inheritors to billion dollar scale fortunes within a decade or two. These individuals will have more money than they would ever need to use - however they will lack for prestige and impact.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of them choose to create university positions for themselves, or otherwise "self-fund" their own prestige projects.
Wouldn’t be all surprised if at least some of those ports will make it back whenever they release the redesigned 13 inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. Probably time constraints that made them release them with the old design. Just my guess.
Can’t see an advantage for them in updating to a new 13” design. 14” is pretty much the same size physically, no? 1/3 inch difference. I guess they’re only keeping it now so they have a starter offering at a low price point.
To get the low price point in a year or two they can just have the low end 14” be the starting Pro machine. Only advantage to the 13 now is the touch bar, if you like that.
Personally I think they will keep the 13” MacBook Pro as the entry level one with a lower tier cpu compared to 14” and 16”. Their old line up had an entry level 13” while the 15” was more capable so that’s what I’m basing it on but my guess is as good as any.
Air will replace the 13” in all likelihood. The difference between the two were minimal to begin with. If the Touch Bar is going away, there’ll be virtually no difference at all.
According to everymac.com, the 12" PowerBook G4 (2004) had an amazing 10.9"x8.6" footprint (and the 12" MacBook (2017) was 11.04"x7.74" - and 2.03 pounds.)
Genuinely curious.
