@antoniomerlin that fails to acknowledge that Apple doesn’t do onsite repairs. Everything gets sent to repair centers and is fully replaced with labor costs. That’s part of the reason it’s so expensive. Do they up charge? Sure, no one is denying that. But they’re also using an older MacBook that’s usually EOL by most companies anyway. The value of it is about 1k so in a way it makes more sense to have them recycle it and get a new one.. of course if you don’t want to do that you can go somewhere else to get it fixed or pay the price.

The primary issue is people want to be mindless consumers and they let companies take advantage of that. Do some research and figure stuff out.

@FrodoSwaggins I like Tim Cook in that regard but he has ruined apple as far as innovation goes. This past year we finally got some semblance of innovation with the ECG on the watch and last year with the Face ID but for the most part nothing really amazing has happened. It’s been the same old camera race on the phones, who can make the thinnest and lightest thing, and keeping up with the competition as far as displays go. Touch Bar on Mac was something pretty cool for certain things but for all intensive purposes most people don’t use that top row anyways so it didn’t make a huge difference changing it to a touch screen. I’d just like to see something more innovative instead of keeping up with the competition for once. Maybe it’s just the nature of their security consciousness that ties their hands... if that’s the case then that would change my opinion on the matter.

@aadilp does it really!? How do I enable this?

@le717 yeah I just worded it wrong..

@willol * c-based languages and c++

@donkeyScript oh yeah I know what the crap that goes on with Medicare and now Obamacare... Doctors and patients are getting screwed because of it.. there was a huge ambulance service for mine and the few counties surrounding me that had to shut down because he was ~1M in the hole waiting to get paid by the feds and the ACA. It's a mess...

@divil if the government is providing healthcare/health insurance then they have the ability to deny care that they deem is not beneficial to society... Ie. Life support to those with injuries that they could possibly not recover from

@divil at least our government doesn't decide when people live or die ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Letmecode lol you think you aren't fed propaganda 24/7, that's cute. The populus is waking up to the nonsense hence why the presidency went to someone that wasn't a politician. And try not to be so full of yourselves like we need your excuses for a military. Honestly if WW3 happened EU would surrender pretty much immediately or be destroyed so easily it'd be sad...

Lol all you morons hating on America and our decisions while you don't live here.....

The small business I'm working for has a site who's previous developer was of the code it right once mindset. There was no dev environment for testing on, no backups, no code versioning, nothing. Was kind of unbelievable.

All the time
