Soldered?
Is there a single Apple SoC where they’ve provided removable ram? Not that I can recall.
Readit News96gb on baseline model m3 ultra with a max of 512gb! Looks like they’re leaning in hard with the AI crowd.

Are you using Chrome? Do you have any extensions?
Right? Dude, please provide some additional context around your web browser stack because something you’re using is triggering their system. That or you’re click house neighbours are using your wifi.
So I bought all V1s back then and now they're gone from the Mac App Store. I see.
Edit: Got it, have to download it from the purchase history (which was 2014), not the offical now-gone link.
Also it appears the new v2 licensing approach does not support Family Purchases, which is a step backward in my view.

You really think he penned this? This is a PR release made by a team of people that he put his name to.
While he may not of penned it himself, he is certainly funding 50% of the rather generous severance and that should count for something by comparison.

Well, they decided all of their phones are going to analyze your locally-stored photographs for child photography, and upload questionable photos to the cloud for human review...
They also block apps that involve politically controversial content, or content that they disagree with (e.g. pornography).
Correction: They /attempted/ to add an /optional/ feature for your /children's/ account(s).
Do you have kids? Daughters? Would you like better control over what they're exposed to? Being given the tools to track screen time, purchases and control where possible exposure to objectionable content for immature minds isn't a bad thing.. provided it is opt-in. Which the feature always was before the news cycle chose their own narrative.

Elon and his sales team should be charged. They are selling this FUD. You can't sell something and then blame the user that they should have read the fine print.
Are you sure you meant to use “FUD” in this sentence? It doesn’t make sense. “Elon and his sales team (“they”) are selling this fear uncertainty and doubt”.
As an experiment, I once tried to see if online services accepted role-based emails (like admin@domain info@domin sales@domain contact@domain).
Surprisingly, the game Eve Online was super-strict in refusing these types of addresses. Most other services were fine though.
EVE Online has highly sophisticated user fingerprinting to prevent fraud and real money trading. So even if you got through with that email address it wouldn't be long before an issue was raised for your account.
With EVE, fraud comes in many ways and most would presume credit card fraud but because you can earn ISK in-game, which can be converted/sold for PLEX (their game-time subscription currency, worth real $) many items (Capital Ships, High Experience Characters, Corporations) are bought and sold for real money outside of the platform - which in some cases, is revenue that EVE would/could benefit from if PLEX was purchased from them directly and used legitimately instead.
So aside from basic things like blocking utility email addresses, they have sophisticated algorithms that monitor user accounts for unusual activity. The definition of unusual is constantly growing/changing and it is monitored and managed by a dedicated "security" team.

It would be awesome if Apple or someone else could have an in-OS slider to drop the specs down to that of other chips. It'd probably be a lot of work to make it seamless, but being able to click a button and make an M4 Max look like an M4 would be awesome for testing.
