The fact that it uses emulation precludes it from using FPGA. FPGA is not emulation. More than likely, given the drastic difference in screen aspect ratio and resolution, emulation was a far easier solution than even a cheap hardware clone.

That’s funny, given that the comment I was replying to heavily begged the question as to whether you even read the paper you linked to or not.

It’s also the same claim of those opposing increases to min wage (where research shows only a .36% increase in prices for a 10% increase in min wage.)

It’s funny to read the article where you shit all over this idea, only to read the comments where the vast majority of people like it for all of the obvious reasons.

I disagree. To me, Infinity War is an example of how you do this kind of storytelling (where the audience already knows what will eventually happen) correctly. Infinity War was engaging and dramatic because of how it played out, not because it ended with half the cast “dying.” If anything, it was such a good movie…

How do you think the shit is getting on the Windows computers? The same way. MacOS isn’t “more secure,” there’s simply vastly more Windows users that are doing the exact same thing.

Also, the free version installs Adware ;-)

Nope, your average PC user is just as dumb as your average Mac user. “Unofficial tech support” has no idea. When you’re actually fixing computers for a living, those of average users, you realize what you thought was a low bar is in fact far, far lower.

The main takeaway is that no, your Apple computer isn’t more immune to malware and maybe you should take security more seriously.

Edit:

Other than to profess your lack of understanding of how business works and your propensity to talk about ejaculation, I don’t see the point of your reply. But I’m glad you finally talked enough sense into your self to agree with me. The logic of how you got there makes zero sense, but at least you got there.

No, water is not fine. If your electronics get wet, the dumbest thing you can do is to “let it dry.” Water contains impurities that cause corrosion on electrical components. Letting it dry does nothing to remove these impurities, nor will the inside of your laptop dry out anywhere nearly as quickly as you think it…

A billion dollars is a drop in the bucket for Apple. What they don’t want is the precedent of paying such royalties on all of their products, hence the reason why they’re fighting it. If they could pay the fine without having to admit they owed royalties, they probably would have just paid it.

We had one guy who was disgruntled and left his machine out in the moab desert before sending it back. There is no way a damn can of air is going to get that out of there.

Must admit, though, that dumping conductive fluids into a charged and, especially, running laptop is not betting the main chance, especially now that batteries are usually not removable by the user.

Also, there are too many people who give out bad advice on the internet because they don’t know what they’re talking about. Like this article right here. Alex claims putting a wet phone in rice won’t harm it (false) and that it’s okay to dry a wet laptop and wait 48 hours before continuing to use it (also false).

It’s a quick and (quite) dirty temporary fix for allowing a cracked solder point to reflow. The most common application of this shade tree electronics repair solution is on graphics cards by sticking them in a cheap toaster oven you never intend to use again.

It really depends on the laptop, some of them are better designed than others. I’ve seen computers soaked in liquid where nothing touched the motherboard and it was only the keyboard that had any damage. I’ve seen others where barely anything was spilled but the motherboard got severely damaged. Macbooks, in…

I have actually freed stuck heads simply by powering the drive and giving it a sort of spinning shake in my hand. Some heads get stuck worse than others and this won’t work, but it works often enough that it’s always worth giving a try first.

I go into the breakroom at work and wash out especially dirty machines.
