They've redirected the page now that it's getting attention, but here's the archived version.

I'm very skeptical of their claims, but it's possible they've partnered with some small number of apps so that they can claim that this is technically working.

I absolutely love Apple Silicon—the performance to power ratio is wonderful, and the high-speed memory makes things like LLMs work great—but the RAM upcharge is insane, and shipping anything "Pro" with 8GB of RAM should be criminal in 2023.

I really hope that Qualcomm can make some noise with their new laptop/desktop processors. Anything to light a fire under Apple's ass and make them stop skimping on RAM.

We homeschool in North Carolina and get exactly zero dollars for it. You're correct in general about the terrible effect that vouchers have on public schooling but incorrect about it being applied to homeschooling. I don't know if it's different in other states.

I messed up, y'all. I'm on vacation with my family, and we are completely and utterly out of cash. We do everything with credit cards, and we exhausted most of the Emergency Cash Stash on a charmingly sketchy mini golf place that was cash-only and almost certainly reports an operating loss to the government every year. That plus tips for housekeeping has left us with less than a buck in change.

The problem is, we're leaving the hotel tomorrow... and I have no cash for the final housekeeping tip. The ghost of Barbara Ehrenreich is making very disappointed sounds at me right now, and I need to make her stop by getting some dollar bills in my hand some way before 11:00 AM.

  • The front desk can't charge a gratuity to the credit card
  • The credit card company will happily give us a highway-robbery-level cash advance at an ATM as long as we wait 7-10 days to get a PIN in the mail
  • The glove box and center console of the car have nothing but masks and straws
  • Food Lion and other stores will give you cash back but only if you pay with a debit card which I did not bring because ??????

I'm at a loss. What do I do here? Buy a gift card and print it out? Wait at the snack counter and barter with people? Please help me make a working person's day slightly better instead of slightly worse tomorrow.
