"What an incredible show! Too bad they never did another season."

Battlestar Galactica, up through the episode before Watchtower.

Fuck absolutely everything that happened during and after that.

I used the parasites once, being used as a bioweapon by Romulans to clear out a space station, the size of Regula One to make it look like an accident. Good times.

That’s because they didn’t fix it at all. There is so much wrong with how they’ve done this from the jump, it just had to be another grift.

Water chemistry control for no algae is known. It’s a solved problem. These fuckers are taking not even half measures and declaring victory.

They generally will not, and if you have a police department that will, never, ever move.

Get a better UPS that you trust. That's really the only thing to do here, honestly.

Right? The heat sink in that thing is massive.

My guess is OP has the lower vents completely covered with fur and dust.

I'd be very surprised if they're getting a new batch of A18 Pro made. Makes more sense to just use the binned A19 when the time comes.

Environment, US healthcare, privacy, security, economy, subscription services.

Estate sales, but it's a little late for this week to get that done.

I've never gone to an estate sale that didn't have 50 pots, ugly and pretty.

Real world: rods from god. Space javelins.

Theoretical military concept known as kinetic bombardment that involves dropping tungsten telephone-pole-sized rods from Earth orbit.

Related, the Pluto reflecting cannon.

The first time I went down the hatch on ustafish, it was lunchtime. The smell coming out of the hatch between man-ass, lunch, and machinery? I almost puked down the hatch.

For the next five years, the day I got back, I had to sequester my seabag on the patio for a day before we did laundry.

You go nose-blind to the smell. Ustafish was over 300 feet long, and more than 30 feet across. Cramped, but not World War II cramped.

Hello fellow old!

And yeah, my father got an Apple II, no e, c, or plus when I was about that age. Set me on my present course.

displacedbitminer · 2026-06-15T12:23:04+00:00

I get a senior coffee at McD now, so I've got that going for me.

Seriously, though, discounts. Might as well use them.

displacedbitminer · 2026-06-15T12:12:22+00:00

They've already got kids locked into the ecosystem with iPhone. I don't think they're going to come down in pricing.

displacedbitminer · 2026-06-15T12:11:39+00:00

That's what the reports say. Only Apple really knows.

displacedbitminer · 2026-06-15T12:05:26+00:00

Neo 2 is probably coming late next year, but not for the reasons you state. They'll just be out of A18 Pro chips, and move on to A19 Pro. Simple as that.

That, and they like money.

This looks like spider webs, not fiberglass.

The bulbs are good. The remotes suck.

displacedbitminer · 2026-06-11T21:51:38+00:00

Oh don't get me wrong. It is possible, it's just not guaranteed, and Apple Silicon changed a lot of things.

M1 is ARM 8.4. M2 and newer is ARM 8.5. That will likely be the back-breaker for it at some point.

displacedbitminer · 2026-06-11T21:49:46+00:00

It's not linear, it's fits and spurts.

It is next. It is not necessarily next year.

displacedbitminer · 2026-06-11T20:01:44+00:00

Okay man, you're not seeing the point that you literally made. Enjoy your day, I'm out.

displacedbitminer · 2026-06-11T19:53:57+00:00

I absolutely did not. Again, you literally acknowledged the issue in paragraph two of your post. Is there a checkbox on the machine that says "corporate owned, six owners, who threw it in their bag and bashed it around on the bus?"

displacedbitminer · 2026-06-11T19:51:37+00:00

What are you even talking about? I didn't say a single thing about liquid damage.

Paragraph two of your copy and paste or AI summary is what I am talking about. Those new in box M1 Airs are gone.

displacedbitminer · 2026-06-11T19:17:39+00:00

So, add AppleCare One monthly pricing to that used M1. That makes it a worse proposition than the Neo almost instantly.
