If you don’t pay for the labor and have the time.

How big is your dishwasher? I live in a three person household and the machine runs once every day on average.

Composition is far better and immensely more flexible than inheritance. Extracting duplicate code into helper classes or static functions is a good option.

Conformance to interfaces or protocols with default implementations is a great alternative as well.

I like OOP more than other styles, it’s just often badly done. Complex inheritance, huge classes that do too much, overuse of factories and similar patterns, can ruin it.

The CCP routinely uses trade, investment and market access as means of coercion. This was demonstrated in June when the China’s consul-general in Edinburgh leant on local business, who in turn pressured the city council into shelving plans for a new ‘friendship arrangement’ with the Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung. Coercion is a fact of business life with China, and this needs to be recognised. A better starting point is to focus on the dangers of overdependence in critical areas and the need to stand up to bullying. Furthermore, there needs to be a recognition that Xi’s priority is security and control above all else – including the economy

This is happening all over the world.

They’re also looking forward to sampling the famous Russian cuisine.

I’m confident the North Korean soldiers all volunteered as well. Whole units, I tell you. Morale is excellent among them.

Most Israelis are against these violent settlers.

Provide an example then.

I don’t doubt that the situation is bad. The destruction of infrastructure makes everything more difficult, including health care. Doctors also only see the worst aspects in situations like this.

What makes Gaza a special case, is that refugees aren’t allowed to flee to a safe neighboring country or at least the West Bank. The refugees should be allowed to leave the war zone, like they are in every other war. They would be better off in a place with working infrastructure.

Hamas’ insistence on continuing the war is the reason it came to this. If they cared for their people, they would have surrendered months ago and freed the hostages. If Hamas didn’t use hospitals for military purposes, they wouldn’t be attacked.

Other companies typically have a little different priorities in their products. Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1, Microsoft Surface, Dell XPS are great laptops in the same league I would say. Dell Precision workstations are same league as the Mac Pro. Dell, HP, and Microsoft Surface make some decent all in one PCs.

All in one computers like the iMac are a niche on the PC side and don’t sell that well. The types of customers are different. PC buyers are usually more price sensitive, whereas Apple customers buy a whole package including the included software. It’s also much easier to buy a Mac, because there’s less choice. The PC market is filled with countless very similar models. Apple makes its simpler.

You get a ton of great software included with every Mac: GarageBand for music production is probably the best for home music creation on any platform. iMovie is an excellent consumer video editing software. The office suite with Keynote, Pages, Numbers is also very good. So what you get when buying an iMac is a powerful machine that’s a great office and media production machine out of the box. No drivers need to be installed, updated, or configured. There’s no adware and trials included in the default install. If you want a Unix like system on a laptop and never worry about battery life, kernel support, etc. All of that can make for a nicer experience.

In the end it depends on what you want to do with your computer. Depending on what tasks you want to accomplish and where you want to use it a different model would make sense for you. There are also applications macOS just isn’t the best fit like gaming or if you have special pro software or peripherals. If you enjoy tinkering and building your own machines, you’re better off using something else as well.

Apple’s quality is mostly pretty good. Once in a while they have problems with certain models and establish a free service program even for machines out of warranty. The oldest device that still gets a service program is from 2008.

Apple’s repair policies have improved over the years.

Longevity is usually also typically pretty good for Apple devices, especially the higher end models. My iPad Pro from 2018 and iPhone 11 from 2019 still get software updates and perform just fine. Until last year I was still using my MacBook Pro 15 retina from 2014 until last year. It still works fine, I just needed something faster. I would say that’s good enough in terms of longevity.

Upgrading parts of machines is difficult to impossible depending on the device. The newer MacBooks are systems on a chip with memory integrated and SSD soldered to the board. That means you have to buy enough memory and storage now, that will last you for the next decade. That’s a higher expense now, than being able to upgrade these parts five years down the line.

I have researched this many times. PCs of similar quality and performance cost about the same as Apple’s products. That’s without taking the higher resale value into account.

It matters if you want to compare prices between complete functioning machines with comparable performance.

If you actually read the source in Lancet, you would know that this is an estimate without any evidence.

The estimate is originally from months ago and hasn’t accumulated any evidence since.

The Hamas run health ministry not only counts bodies, but also other people they have some proof that they died. For example if people are known to be buried in rubble, they are already counted. Granted not all bodies under the rubble are counted.

However the predicted high numbers of dead caused by famine and disease have not materialized during the last half year.

HDR images will look better. Colors will be normalized to the ones your screen can display.

The pre built laptop should come with an operating system that supper sets the hardware well to be comparable, I would say.

Performance isn’t everything in a laptop. Screen quality, weight, and battery life also matters. To be comparable, an alternative laptop should be at least in the same class in these aspects.

I have been paying attention very much for decades and don’t think there’s sufficient evidence for it.

Color Management Related to the above — and to ensure consistent colors across monitors — we’ve implemented more complete support for the Wayland color management protocol, and enabled it by default.

We have also improved brightness handling for HDR and ICC profiles, as well as HDR performance. This will improve your experience when designing graphics, playing games, and watching videos.

This is the biggest improvement by far.

Geekbench can be a benchmark for comparable performance. You can look up benchmarks for Mac models and then find comparable performance PC parts under benchmark charts.

Pick one and find a comparable PC.

The MacBook Air is the best selling model, so take that if you don’t want to choose yourself.
