You pay it by buying new hardware.

My 2013 macbook pro with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB SSD has been deprecated by apple so the latest OS it gets is Big Sur, it has now been barred from signing updates (since they require the latest XCode which I cannot get with Big Sur) so its only viable life is via Linux from now on.

I have had to buy a Mac Mini with 8 GB of RAM and a 250 GB SSD to be able to upload updates for my iOS apps.

I mean I can afford it, but yeah, we are paying for OS updates dude.

That's the reason they also updated their EULAs to set a minimum renting period of 24hs for providers like Amazon and MacStadium. They want you buying hardware, they don't want to leave any easy way out.

People always forget about the rules of the internet.

Rule 29: On the internet men are men, women are also men, and kids are undercover FBI agents.

Rule 30: Girls do not exist on the internet

PSA: skirting their attempts to block ad blockers if you have a Google account you would rather keep may be unwise.

Google has been known for banning people for stupid crap, and this checks all the boxes.

While they were silent on this topic there was a gentlemen's agreement that you could block ads. But now that they have voiced their opinion the jig is up.

I'd recommend people to use an alternative account if they are going to block anyway and they want to keep their gmail.

It seems funny at first, but knowing they don't hate a media twisted version of you, but the real thing, is more depressing than funny.

the error is buying a game from a series with 11 games in development

https://en.as.com/meristation/news/ubisoft-has-11-assassins-creed-games-in-the-works-n/

they are going to run out of words in the dictionary to name these fucking games, they will start using words in a different language for the codenames.

just test it out.

some setups will work fine with wayland and some will work better with xorg.

there are of course ways solve those issues, but it's easier to test both and use the one that works best for you.

wayland is the future, but the present is whatever works best for you.

it's 30% if you only read the title, at the end of the article it says:

Two other polls released this week show President Joe Biden and Trump competitive in a 2024 matchup, with Biden edging Trump by just a point in surveys from Marist and Quinnipiac.

unless you check how they conducted the poll, you don't know if either one is correct.

was it made in an university campus or at the exit of an NRA convention? those will give you wildly different results.
