kB = kilobytes = 1000 bytes

MB = megabytes = 1000 kB

kiB = kibibytes = 1024 bytes

MiB = mibibytes = 1024 kiB

Generally on hard drive/ssd capacity it will be listed in GiB (Gibibytes). This is the reason a 1 Terabyte drive is actually something like 931 GB showing in your system. Because your system uses GiB and the manufacturer uses GB.

1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes

1GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes

1 GB =~ 0.931 GiB

Edit: I had it backwards, it is fixed now

Some are selling your data, some are using it internally. Beyond that who knows

As a computer engineer, I had better know. And don’t get me started on MiB vs MB

Mbps = Mb/s = Megabits per second.

MBps = MB/s = Megabytes per second.

The p is just the /. It’s the capital or lowercase B that makes the difference.

There’s no security implications with allowing users to play mp3 files, they don’t care where they came from. 75% of my library is music that I either pirated or ripped from my own CDs, it’s not like iTunes (now Music) can tell which is mine and which isn’t. Same thing with movies/tv shows.

You don’t need to be on android to play pirated music. OP clearly is more interested in supporting the artists.

What benefits? Publicity sure, but they don’t get tax breaks for collecting donations.

The bottom is quite easy to take off, just some screws around the perimeter and you’re in. You can unplug the battery pretty easily but it’s harder to remove as it’s glued down. Also I’m pretty sure MacBooks severely underclock the processor if there’s no battery so your performance may suffer. Been through the same thing with my 2013 MacBook Pro. It’s a Linux mint server now.

I’m not 100% sure but which power source you are using, and whether or not the battery seems more like a BIOS or SMC thing, so I’m not sure if even Linux would be able to access it. I could also be totally wrong

I agree it sucks. But I can understand the rationale. At peak times, if people try to go to Wendy’s, and it’s too busy, they go somewhere else. At this point the demand is higher than supply. Clearly increasing cost will create more profit.

Long term they are probably hoping that people decide to not all come in a peak times, and the peak is more spread out. This way lines are never long enough for people to just say fuck this and then leave. Less lost sales = more profit.

In reality I can see people just not going, so I agree with you that long term they see less sales. But honestly who really knows, people can be pretty irrational.

It’s all done on-device

It’s an awesome show! There’s a couple seasons in the middle that aren’t as amazing as the rest (still fun to watch), but it picks back up and the final bunch of seasons were also great
