funny Star Wars parody posted:The SSDs have always been soldered onto the mobo and if you take it to the Apple Store they're very easy for the geniuses to fix and also very cheap Your attempts to defend Apple on this one are perplexing. And just wrong. I'm sorry but soldering parts that have a signifigant failure rate to the board is goddamn retarded in the worst way. I expect a laptop to become a boat anchor when the CPU fails and that should be beyond the lifetime of the SSD by some margin. And even if I dont buy Apple poo poo, we still have to support this loving garbage. FFS, just admit Apple are being stupid for once.

I expect a laptop to become a boat anchor when the CPU fails and that should be beyond the lifetime of the SSD by some margin. While I agree that soldering everything to everything is not the best methodology, I will say that I have had very few Macs poo poo their silicon devices. Hard drives fail like anything else, and a few power supplies, but on the whole, Apple devices are pretty damned robust. I have two PowerBook G4s, circa 2004, that I just recovered out of a cabinet. Both of them are stiff functioning perfectly. For that matter, I have a Macintosh Classic, one of the little 9" screen original-style Macs, that's also still trucking along. I've got it operating on my desk for WTF-factor. beep-beep car is go posted:It's all in the name of thinness.

No one really questions the "mandatory" TI graphing calculators in high school until they aren't allowed in college exam rooms, and a frightening amount of universities have macbooks as mandatory tools for students. They're just one step closer to becoming the TI-83, the progress halting monopoly that they were always supposed to be I finally tracked down a Fiat X1/9 with little to no structural rust AND fuel injection, and was a few hundred short to buy it in cash. I have had my car on the market for a month or so at an optimistic price, so dropped it down to sell immediately and the day I was supposed to finalize the sale, the guy selling the Fiat flew to Georgia until December. I felt like an rear end in a top hat telling the prospective buyer that I still needed the car until Thanksgiving, but oh well... I guess the dream of replacing the suspension on my roadster before the season's first hard frost dies Saturday

Man, Solidworks is such a great and cool program! It does this funny trick where when you hit save, it throws up a bunch of rebuild errors that were previously fine; and then, after you spend an error troubleshooting and getting rid of the errors, and finally go to save all your precious work, that's when it crashes! It's so entertaining! E: I lost three hours of work earlier today! Hooray!

The dishwasher that our builder installed (average GE stainless unit) that stopped drying. I checked to see that the heating element wasn't getting hot so I figured easy enough to replace and my new one arrived today. Took about thirty minutes but it's still not working. I'm getting a case of the effits and will find myself a Bosch dishwasher next week for Black Friday.

They hum for like 12 hours and you get damp dishes no matter the setting.
