I agree it's dumb, but I'm also trying to understand how politicians think changing the tax rate for healthier or less healthy foods can possibly affect behavior in the USA when it's set up this way in stores

There's some evidence it somehow works https://publichealth.berkeley.edu/news-media/research-highlights/do-soda-taxes-work

But I've never known what I'll be taxed on a specific item

My belief that it's intended to incentivize behavior is from talks about things like the "soda tax," where some goods are taxed at a different rate to try to reduce consumption

I don't understand how they can be effective when you don't see the price on the sticker, though

I mean, it's internally consistent with the inbetween too, for the first three:

They went Xbox, did a 360 to face the same direction, and re-released the Xbox 1

If your speedometer/tachometer is a screen instead of dials, it's extremely likely it's running Linux, too

So still somewhat useful in the auto space

All the "portless iPhone" rumors have seemed unlikely because of DFU mode.

If they can now enter DFU wirelessly from the initial bootloader in silicon, they might actually be close to a portless iPhone

And like the top level comment stated, it's on Brazil to block Twitter in their corner of the internet. That's why their 20,000 ISPs are scrambling to block it - not Twitter

I was all in on GOG 10-12 years ago when they said they were working on Linux support "soon"

After so many years of promises and no action, while Valve pays developers to improve Linux gaming, I'd rather buy from Steam

Prices tend to be similar between the platforms here, though

I... I know they made colorful iMacs... But... What was the marketing idea behind this ad?

What did they mean by "No artificial colors" for a computer...?

It's not just betas - it's in the main release, too

We're still using them on machines where performance doesn't matter

On build machines, they're on a special VLAN and don't have endpoint protection, but they only download from a protected mirror
