Apple fans are waking up, maybe
If the fans were working it wouldn't have been a problem in the first place.

It's another great Apple design.
Fans are pushing the hot air through the back.Guess what happen when you open the screen?

@timebandit Dust gathers at the bottom of the bezel.
-
@loopback0 No, in the keyboard
-
@timebandit That too but that dust isn't coming from the cooling
-
@loopback0 I'm more concerned with the screen restricting the fan output
you're holding it wrong™
-
@timebandit It doesn't though. The cooling may not be adequate for an i9 but it's no worse with the screen open than it is closed.
-
@loopback0 said in In other news today...:

How?
The screen restrict the output. Not 100%, but still blocks it a lot
-
@timebandit It doesn't because the out vents are angled in a way that means the screen makes no difference.
I tried to get a photo but I think I'm holding my iPhone camera wrong.

So, it just heat the screen?

@timebandit If I hold it correctly it heats my penis the way Steve Jobs intended.

@loopback0 They call that a "Steve Job"

There's no need to do that, even in Canada

@loopback0 said in In other news today...:
More than 36,000 engineering students form IT-related branches of over 500 colleges took Automata—a Machine Learning based assessment of software development skills—and more than 60% could not even write code that compiles.
Does Automata give them any feedback? An IDE will give you feedback as you write as to whether you have syntax errors in your code. It's not terribly surprising if 40% of students couldn't write syntactically correct code in Notepad.
-
@tharpa I assume not, considering what they're testing.
It would be worse if it did provide feedback and 60% still failed.

Meh. I'm not sure the inability to drive a manual transmission proves that someone's incapable of being a good driver with an automatic.
-
@tharpa It's irrelevant if only 1.4% arrive at the destination without being involved in an accident.

Can anyone say that this spells Troubles?
-
@rhywden I thought they closed that section before they even started talking about future trade relations? Is someone coming back on something they'd previously agreed on?
-
@pleegwat Looks that way. Hard Brexit is probably inevitable now with that retraction.
It's astounding how many people on the Brexit side are misinformed about the quantity and quality of troubles they're heaping upon themselves with a Hard Brexit.
I mean, just take this hubbub about the Taoiseach announcing that Irish airspace will be closed to the UK after a Hard Brexit. Brexiteers promptly saw this as a revenge move when in reality, it's in accordance with international flight laws because countries don't have an automatic right to fly over other countries.
That's a right granted by agreements and said agreements usually need certification/regulation agencies (here: CAA).
The UK will both lose the agreements (which are done by the EU for them) and the CAA immediately after Hard Brexit.That's simply a consequence and not a revenge move.
The ADS in the UK estimates five to ten years before they will be able to fully establish their own CAA, by the way.
-
Yup. That'll do the trick.

astoundingutterly depressing how many people on the Brexit side are misinformed about the quantity and quality of troubles they're heaping upon themselves with a Hard Brexit.:(
We're talking about people who are totally insistent that black is white here because anything else would logically lead to the conclusion that they are lying cheating fuckwads who should be lynched for the general good of humanity.

@timebandit Wait, is that a headphone jack?
And three ports?

@topspin Don't worry, you can still tell it's an Apple because there's no USB ports, only USB-C ports.

Yup. That'll do the trick.
Not really sure what else they can do. Locking up a moderately unhinged 19 year old is likely to make things worse. Hopefully he'll just grow out of it, whereas once institutionalised (whether jail or psychiatric) he'd be left with far fewer options other than criminality.

USB-C is the first fekkin usb-port that's actually half decently designed, so I can see why they'd go with that one.

Man moves next to farm. Complains there's a farm next door...
There's a well known controversy in my village, where somebody moved into a house that borders the cricket green, and then started trying to get the cricket club shut down because of the balls coming into her garden. It's one of the oldest cricket clubs in the country at around 300 years old, so wasn't about to be bullied by someone who'd lived there for a few months. Eventually, she tried to steal the ball while a match was in progress, but unfortunately one of the team members is a policeman so it didn't go well for her

You could fine him or require some number of community service hours. There are options besides gaol.

There is a racetrack south of Montreal that opened in 1970 when there was only farms in that area.
Somebody built an housing project near it, and now the residents there are complaining about the noise on the weekend

You mean like having him pay 170 pounds and ordering him "to attend 20 sessions with probation officers"?
Sure they could have him pick up garbage or something on top of that if they preferred spending more for the administration of the extra punitive measure than the work he'd be doing is worth in the first place.

MagSafe was the only decently designed power connector, and they replaced it anyway.

Truth. This was actually the sole reason I bought a MacBook way back when. I had a nasty tendency to trip over my cables in the smallish apartment I was living in, so I got that so if I tripped over the power connector at least I wasn't potentially breaking the power port in the computer at the same time.

I just got (from work) a new macbook air. No magsafe connector (or at least a very different one that plugs straight in rather than with the cord at a 90 degree angle. Me no like.

I are agree. Double plus good magsafe. But it didn't do data transfer, so there was still a bit of development to do there.
I would guess that they replaced it due to manufacturing costs.

It looks like this was a few years ago:
He was arrested in 2013 on charges of prescribing chemotherapy to patients who were either perfectly healthy or whose condition did not warrant chemotherapy, then submitting $34 million in fraudulent charges to Medicare and private health insurance companies over a period of at least six years. He pleaded guilty in 2014 to charges of health care fraud, conspiring to pay and receive kickbacks, and money laundering. On July 10, 2015, he was sentenced to 45 years in federal prison.
Thank $deity they ended that quackery.

Well, yes. But all these problems exist with every other data transfer port type as well, so it's not like its worse than anything with similar capabilities.
