Just ended up in the Apple Store this afternoon and saw a midnight black 15" Macbook Air.
Oh, the shiny!
I lost my saving throw, so of course I had to buy one ... for nostr:npub1jvn4k2u849va6ehrnaaqvg78he60hcc7zkt4un6w77qjkrcmnndsk3uj7g . (I'm not ready to replace my M1Pro MBP to myself, dammit, but F needs a new laptop and end-of-accounting-year is looming.)
On the other hand, my iMac is an intel model that'll be hitting end-of-life in a year or two, and I *have* been contemplating replacing it on my desk with a 27" display and a Thunderbolt dock for my MBP.
Hmm.

Someone is VERY unclear on the concept that the description "bestseller" is determined by the sales figures, not the content (and your ChatGPT extruded garbage without a publisher has, by definition, got NO SALES).
Oops! The FAA conducted an audit of the Boeing 737MAX production process. 89 product audits were carried out; Boeing and Spirit Aerosystems (the subcontractor). Boeing passed 56, but failed 33 with 97 instances of alleged noncompliance. Spirit passed 6 audits but failed 7.

About YouTube and ad-blockers:
YouTube is owned by Alphabet, aka Google's umbrella corporation. Google in turn was devoured by DoubleClick, the largest advertising company to come out of the 1990s web.
When you use Google, you are feeding the attention monster that is the advertising industry.
We should aim to criminalize behavioural advertising and break up the Google monopoly, not tolerate their shit and work around it by using adblockers.
