I was part of the hardcore build it yourself crew for years and years, but I find now that for the last 10 years or so now, and especially with the death of places like Fry’s and all the bullshit Newegg pulled, it’s way easier and cheaper to buy a pre-built box that’s maybe 90-95% there, then tweak what you need to tweak.

Get that manufacturers warranty and forget trying to part it out yourself.

Hilarious that it even embedded the tweet so you can see it’s not an accurate quote.

Bad enough when humans do it, adding nothing.

Aha! Makes sense!

26th? I thought it was the 21st?

I don’t get the surprise… Apple has ALWAYS been like this. They don’t want “normies” screwing around with “their” gear.

My work software kept seeing weird bugs in Chrome, so I switched permanently.

If you’re doing this in a business environment, I wouldn’t fool around with a home rolled option and would just go straight with a Websense subscription:

People won’t pay for something that used to be free… OTOH, neither will bot farms.

Either case will end Twitter, so I say go for it!

Possible to take the hardware, wipe it, install Linux and not worry about expiration?

It’s actually VERY well regarded. You just have never watched it.

No, I’ve just seen the movie probably a dozen times since it came out, it’s a joy each and every time.

Lost me at “the first consumer product we’re aware of to use nitinol”.

A car.

Freedom of mobility is huge. Not worrying about how to get groceries home. Being able to go to a doctor when necessary.

Recreational aspects, took a drive through Washington State, up the Olympic Penninsula and down through Seattle and Everett.
