Readit NewsMore so when the RAM remains limited on Macs as it too is integrated with the CPU and hence is non-upgradable. This is even worse than soldered SSD, as we can still make an attempt to replace the SSD chips with new ones with careful soldering, but nothing can be done about the RAM. These deliberately irreparable new Macs are just shitty products.
You know you can buy other products, right? There’re plenty of computer manufacturers that use discrete modules.

Help me understand. When a car has multiple trim levels, and one has more horsepower, you would want the one with fewer? Because in theory you wouldn’t use it? And this has nothing to do with MPG either because in some cars the higher power engines get better fuel economy. But based on that metric alone, you would pick the lesser model? Just like if a MacBook Pro came in either 1600nits or 400nits, you’d pick 400? Yes or no?
> one has more horsepower, you would want the one with fewer?
Not necessarily, I would choose using other factors. I argue we should rely less on rarely practical characteristics (maximum power / brigthness) and add more day-to-day aspects into reviews and search filters.
There are few qualities usually mentioned along side displays: size, technology, resolution, colour rating, contrast ratio, and max brightness. I think brightness matters less past some point and we really should focus more on traits listed by @boplicity and @dijit (there's got to be more).
Similarly with cars: I don't care about top speed as long as it goes upto the motorway limit, I don't care about engine power as long as car feels nice in real life; I pay attention to size (will it be comfortable in the city and in my tight parking lot?), fuel consumption, interior quality, luggage space, steering sensations.

Well, if the 400 nits one has an advantage (for example it has OLED, so only the letters will burn my eyes in the evenings, not the whole area of the screen) then I would pick that one.

Isn't it obvious that logging in with your face or your fingerprint is less secure? Sure, it's convenient, but any thug can just forcefully unlock your device.
Yeah, because good old passwords are safe against thermo-rectal cryptoanalysis.
Getting a good layout is too dependent on the order of definition. I can see that becoming unsolvable for the user for large diagrams but seems ok for small ones. For example the following gives an ugly yet valid layout of the example:
[more loot] no ->[<end>e]
[<start>start] -> [<state>plunder] -> [<choice>more loot] -> [start]
[Pirate|
[foul mouth]<:-[beard]
[parrot]--[beard]
]
[<table>mischief| bawl | sing || yell | drink ]
[<abstract>Marauder]<:--[Pirate]
[Pirate] - 0..7[mischief]
[<actor id=sailor>Jolly;Sailor]
[sailor]->[rum]
[Pirate]-> *[rum|tastiness: Int|swig()]
[sailor]->[Pirate]We need another tool that would optimise permutation of statements for least overlap in the resulting diagram.

If Stallman ever figures out how to watch YouTube in Emacs, someone is going to be in big trouble.
What do you mean “if”?

How about a nuclear battery, aka radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG)? This would be sealed in (carefully!) and would last the lifetime of the device, with no need for charging, ever. Would need special steps/handling to ensure safe disposal at end of product life, however.
