If you believe that there was any conversation like this at all, and it isn’t just some production line that places coupons at the same place on every box.

The difference is HBO is a media company that largely operates in the US, and Jon Oliver making fun of them isn’t going to hurt their business at all. Apple is a hardware company that also makes media. And selling hardware in China is critical to their business. Since the CCP owns China, they can get their panties in a twist and just ban Apple. Like they did with government devices.

As a publicly owned company they have a legal responsibility to maximize profit for shareholders. It’s the same reason why Twitter had to agree to the sale to Elon Musk and why they had to force it. It was a terrible move overall but since Elon was buying all outstanding shares and taking it private, the board literally had no legal choice but to take it since he was offering well over market value.

Public companies don’t get to take moral stands when there’s money on the line. They legally have to put shareholders first.

By holding the most popular position on the matter?

Actual leftists in the US don’t vote so their support doesn’t really matter.

Support for Israel is extremely popular with liberals, moderates, and conservatives. It’ll solidify support among the liberals that do vote, take away a swing issue for moderates, and probably help swing some anti Trump conservatives to him.

It was a concept car that he doubled down on and promised to deliver it as designed.

As soon as they unveiled it, anyone with a brain could tell you it was never going to make it to market like that.

Man I haven’t seen that in years

Plus everyone buying Mac in 2020 were buying the new (at the time) M1 MacBooks which are phenomenal and will easily last a long ass time. M2 has been a marginal upgrade over the M1 and really only applies to people who need to upgrade now, but won’t be a real upgrade for people who just bought an M1.

Plus they’re soon to announce the M3 chips so I would wager a lot of people are hanging on to what they have to see what that’s gonna look like before pulling the trigger.

It still is. Windows 10 and 11 are built on the same version of Windows NT with different patches.

Windows 11 current release - NT version 10.0.22621.2428

Windows 10 current release - NT version 10.0.19045.3570

Both are Windows NT 10.0.

It’s none of the above. Turns out all the references to a subscription in the test builds were to Windows Internet of Things Enterprise subscription edition. Most enterprise things are ran on a subscription type license where you pay for support and rights to use it on an annual basis.

It literally says vegan right on the package….

This one is not a composition. It was taken by a space shuttle training aircraft.

If it were Israel, they would just say Hamas was using the hospital as a military facility like they have in the past.

You can’t spin thread from it since the fibers are too short.

But you can use lint for felting.

This is more of a budget replacement for the original lightning pencil.

It’s $20 cheaper than the first gen and $50 cheaper than the second gen.

Aren’t they already? When I got mine it was charged to 100% already.

I’m not. I’m directly comparing two very similar and allied Islamic movements that cooperate and support each other.

That’s not a generalization, it’s a direct comparison.

Both Hamas and the Taliban are brutal Islamic terrorist groups that also hold political control over their territories and claim to represent the people.

Hell, the Taliban and Hamas are allied even.

Saying Hamas represents Palestinian voices is the same as saying the Taliban represents Afghan voices.

Because it’s a 10 year old game with few players and even fewer that are going to buy it new….

Music licenses are expensive as a hell and it doesn’t make sense to pay for a license when you’re only gonna have a few hundred/thousand people using it.

Potentially. But I’m running a 15 pro max on 17.0.3 and I have not had this happen at all.
