When the stakes are high, non-compliance with the rules or the law might be worth the risk, see professional athletes and drug cheats, right?

Karma and integrity seem to be treated as an overdraft. But these folks are hardly held back by the systems they work in.


"Bless their little hearts"

Hosting the meeting in Croydon and not letting people leave until the thing is signed-off is definitely a cunning strategy. Never want to work down there again, ever.

Yes it is, I had my M! Max keyboard replaced as repairing the individual keycaps didn't work, and then they replaced the entire logic board while they were testing due to finding an error. Total cost was around €1400, to me €0. New bottom case, new battery, new logic board.

Looks like this is going to find a place full-time on my mac and replace Rectangle, only problem being I don't have more menu bar icon space.

Doesn’t work anymore since Tahoe


Thaw is the fork that has been updated and currently still maintained.

I use Rectangle but I don't have it in the menu bar. If I want the control panel I'll just use Spotlight to bring it up.


wish I could solve your menubar mess


Agreed - I was just picking mine up from a repair at the Apple Store - they replaced the top case as the keyboard was borked, found a logic issue and replaced the board. It's as good as new, and its already lasted longer than any Mac I've ever owned. I want for nothing, although I wouldn't mind double the RAM and SSD. It's the perfect laptop.


Is that an em-dash in his rant?

Fascist


Love me a straight-six.

Why anyone thought "inline" was a better prefix, I have no idea.

Smooth, and sound great.


I have two; I don't think they sound great. My F150s sound like tractors. Drive like one, too--you never have to go over 2,000 rpms if you don't care to, even pulling a load. Max torque around 1800 RPMs IIRC.


It's a German thing.


I think we simply call them "Sechszylinder" - six cylinders. Non-inline engines are a small percentage of engines in Germany, so we don't usually call inlines anything. The term for an inline engine is Reihenmotor (I had to look that up!), "line" or "row" engine.


No kidding? Most of the reliable German gasoline engines I know of are "inline" engines, but I am based in the US.
