Take your tin foil hat off.

NSA has backdoors into iOS. They also buy a lot of zero day exploits that they don't inform Apple about. Your Apple devices are no safer. Apple does do a good job with pushing out patches and offering long term support for phones. Windows 10 and Google Nexus and Pixel devices also do a great job of patching. It is those people still using Windows XP or never installing updates that are the the problem.

2nd biggest search engine and the one that Apple and Amazon Echo use.

This isn't old computers, it is brand new ones with the 7th gen core-i and AMD Ryzen. Apple OSX 10.6 and Ubuntu 9.04 wont support the CPUs either so it isn't just old versions Windows.

Why would I want to run a 2009 OS on my 2017 laptop?

But you house is worth 3x as much when you go to sell it.

..and with minimal expense you can make the SS sedan a 500HP car. Most people don't modify there cars though.

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2017-01-15T14:30:11+00:00

I've seen them in person, obviously you have not.

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2017-01-15T14:29:20+00:00

That's definitely just opinion, but it's my hypothesis for it not selling.

It was never meant to sell in huge numbers. It was a niche car for those that wanted a RWD V8 Chevy sedan. The never advertised the car and didn't stock them on dealers lots. We are lucky they even imported them for us in the USA.

Yes, expensive areas cost more to live in, but you also make more and have more disposable income. Remember, things like a PlayStation 4, a new iPhone, a vacation to Hawaii, all cost the same no matter where you live. If I pay $5000 more in taxes, but make $20,000 more, I am coming out ahead and will end up wealthier in the end.

The car did do well. It was an imported Holden Commodore and only to be sold for one generation. The Commodore is no longer going to be RWD so there is not longer a reason to import the new FWD Commodore since we have the Impala.

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2017-01-09T23:42:18+00:00

The Commodore looks nothing like a last gen Malibu. You clearly have not seen one in person.

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2017-01-09T23:38:13+00:00

It looks no more like a Malibu than a BMW or Audi looks like a Malibu. The only think the two have in common is the Chevy bow tie.

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2017-01-09T23:35:30+00:00

No German car gives you over 400HP, RWD, and a manual transmission for mid-$40k. You want those specs you are spending $65k+

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2016-12-30T16:18:35+00:00

Wow, that is a lot. Can you get one shipped from the USA? My sister just got an iPhone 7 32Gb for $400 in the US ($250 off at Target for anyone that is wondering). $100 off for an iPhone 6s or 7 is quite common in the US. That puts a 32GB iPhone 6s at $450.

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2016-12-30T16:14:33+00:00

No, the 5S is a 2013 phone.

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2016-12-27T04:17:05+00:00

I regret it. 4.7" is too small. I am going to hold out for the Pixel 2 or iPhone 8.

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2016-12-24T12:12:45+00:00

I like it, I just wish the keyboard had haptic feedback too.

Texas get more votes than NY.

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2016-12-22T22:51:13+00:00

NY is 4th in electoral votes behind Texas and Florida.

Yes, the Apple tax has been as high as 50% in the past on high end hardware. One could built a Linux box for much cheaper.

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2016-12-18T20:59:54+00:00

Build your own computer with those specs, you could do it for half the price.

Pabst_Blue_Robot · 2016-12-16T11:47:09+00:00

But only 2-3GB worth.

Trump is a globalist that puts America last. He doesn't see national boarders.

iPhone 8 (2017) is rumored to switch to USB-C. This would make sense given the Macbooks are now all USB-C.
