Why would I care when I can get at least 4 years worth of AppleCare from Apple?

Here you can mostly dyi the repair. So you are not stuck waiting for Apple's appointment and repair schedule which would be a week at the minimum that you are grounded. Plus easy upgradeability ..

I appreciate that. It's hard to find the perfect balance.

It's possible to insert notes for each slide (atleast ms office ppt allow that). We do that for our training slides. The notes are detailed descriptions while the slides remain short bullet points.

nmridul commented on HP avoids monetary damages over printers in class-action settlement arstechnica.com/gadgets/2... · Posted by u/JSR_FDED

So it sounds like HP pays nothing to the people they hurt, they don't have to admit to doing anything wrong, and they get to continue to kill printers using forced updates as long as they aren't one of 21 specific models, and even for those 21 models they can still kill them using updates as long as they don't call the update a "Dynamic Security feature"?

This is exactly the kind of bullshit "win" that makes class-action lawsuits a total joke for anyone looking for justice, and why corporations continue to engage in user-hostile behavior. They stand to make a lot more money screwing over consumers than they have to fear from lawsuits.

Diamonds are possibly the biggest scam in human history. Supply and price controlled by a single entity and a marketing campaign to buy a diamond ring for your marriage proposal, which has turned into a worldwide norm. Did you know that before this, people didn't propose with rings whatsoever?

Diamonds are pretty, but if you participate in this industry, you've been taken advantage of.

Just wondering how much does these machines cost and why we are we not making such machines at large scale ? Surely diamonds are in demad beyond jewellery. So making these machines at scale and reducing their cost could disrupt these "scammers"..
