Kibae commented on New 13- and 15‑inch MacBook Air with M3 chip   apple.com/newsroom/2024/0... · Posted by u/dm

The problem is the storage is not removable in the Apple Macbooks.

It is disturbing it didn't sink the Macbooks. It speaks volumes of how little people care about their own data. About their own privacy. There should've been zero sold. It truly is dismal and a very large systemic problem a laptop like this is sold.

Because when it breaks, are you going to wipe it and restore from backup? No. You will just hand it over to a repair person and even an ethical shop much less Apple doesn't even have a chance to hand the disk back before handling it. An unknown amount of complete strangers will access your everything. Your medical records, your banking, your private photos, everything.

And people pay real world money for this, money they worked hard for. It's unfathomable to me.

This reminds me of this investigation by CBC Marketplace[0], where cellphone and laptop repair techs spend time looking through customers' devices.

Thanks for sharing, your notes look interesting. I’m unable to download the pdf on my phone.

I'm paying for Youtube Premium and still feel like being the product: I can't turn off youtube shorts, and I can't see downvotes (both product decisions making sense for ad-based model).

Return Youtube Dislike [0] isn't perfect, but it's good enough for my use cases.

Unhook [1] lets you hide the shorts tab from the sidebar, but unfortunately doesn't (yet) filter shorts.

oh how the kings have fallen. Square could have been Stripe, Shopify, Toast, Doordash, Venmo if not for Jack's part time focus as leader

Also, Vine could have been TikTok.

FF 117 on Win10 x64 with latest UBlock Origin. YouTube is still working for me. The Reddit thread you linked has some posts with things to try.

Yup. This[0] comment seemed to do the trick.
