I'm particularly fond of the Gripen. Just an opinion, but personally I hope we get our hands on those. But regardless, even if we get the best available fighter in the world, without the numbers, and the maintenance infrastructure, budget, resource and training to support them, it wouldn't matter anyways

Damn. As a die hard Sync for Reddit fan for years, donated lifetime license and having recently come back to Sync for Lemmy and feeling like it was a long lost friend, really really sad and heartbreaking to hear this.

It might be a single line to fix, but there's a deployment and publishing pipeline that we don't necessarily know how it works.. not saying it's impossible, just saying that it's slightly more involved than just a single line

Who will our insurgents comprise of? (Honest question). Aside from a small percentage of the population that has had weapons training (active and reserve military, police force, hunters) the vast majority have never touched a weapon before...

I hate to say it, but I don't actually think they would (I might be wrong)... For a country like the UK to jump in, it needs its population to be in support. If it jumps into an armed conflict without the support of its population, it will have its own revolution to deal with.

I think we'll see a similar, albeit more committed version of the type of response Ukraine received... Military equipment aid, sanctions against US, humanitarian aid.

The same goes with NATO Article 5... US makes up the majority of NATO funding contributions, and European countries have to contend with a continuously brazen Putin... With US threatening to pull away from NATO, it would be countries like Poland and Germany that will step up against Russia, so no capacity to support Canada...

I really really really hope I'm wrong.

It fucking sucks all around.

He doesn't care about his American cars.. he just greenlit a $1T Japanese manufacturing partnership, which includes Toyota, while Ford CEO says it blows a hole in US automotive sector...

Finding a non-US version of this was harder than it needed to be.. https://asiatimes.com/2025/02/japan-goes-for-broke-with-1-trillion-trump-bet/

He sabotaged NA automotive, while inviting foreign automotive over.

And as such is how the beat goes, decade after decade. It will never change, it has been a rinse and repeat for ages, both at the federal and provincial levels.

What kind of research necessitates killing whales??

If he's doing this for profit, there has to be a consumer... Who are the consumers and what are they buying?

I wish the world was as utopian as you described. Unfortunately, and I'm sorry to say, that's an extremely naive world view you hold. I hope you won't be taken advantage of by people with less good intentions.

Do you not have multiple confluence space admins to avoid specifically this type of problem?

Are we playing Jeopardy?

Then you know full well that just because they shouldn't take all the crab legs doesn't mean they don't/won't take them all. If I go for crab legs and none are available, I'll blame Mandarin and give them a crappy review. People will be people. Can't blame them.

Then why advertise it as "unlimited" or "all you can eat"? That's false advertisement.

You're referring to Mandarin Buffet aren't you

What? How? The user is simply taking advantage of what is being offered

In what world are "unlimited" and "all you can eat" synonymous with "too far"?

"Too far" implies a definite limit, which is the antonym of unlimited and all you can eat, regardless of the business's ability to sustain it. If there is a limit, don't advertise it as unlimited or all you can eat that's false advertisement.

Lmao what's with the salty tone lol

I would categorize it more as wear and tear rather than disposability, but I do agree that the nature of repairing a MacBook is only for a market that can afford it. It's much like repairing a car, either you continue repairing it, or you drive it to the ground and buy a new one.

As a software developer, I personally do find MacBooks to be more conducive to my profession (my current MacBook is approaching 10 years), so while I wouldn't say I agree with "more people need to leave it", I would say that we as customers should pick the product that suits our needs the most (apple or otherwise). Which I believe is the original message in your comment (get the product that you can afford and are in the market for).

The root of the issue was identified by a third party repair shop, narrowing down to two capacitors that were providing the wrong voltage, preventing the MacBook Air to boot up.

While I agree that a repair shop technician is certainly more technically skilled and trained to find those issues than an apple genius bar associate, it is up to Apple to ensure that they equip their associates with the right tools and processes to identify the root cause prior to providing a quote, and even more so to inform the customer prior to performing the work order, or charging the customer.

Coincidentally, I just came back from a battery swap of my MacBook, and in my experience, there was confirmation at every step of the way before proceeding, even down to email receipts, to ensure that I understand the problem, and approve the work order. In this lady's case, someone fucked up big time.
