Tesla Model S for over $100,000 is way overpriced. Ten years from now, an EV sedan comparable to Model S will cost under $50,000 in today’s dollars. If an EV manufacturer jacks up the price from $50,000 to $75,000 ten years from now, should you be comparing the price to the price of Model 3 ten years prior or should you base such a comparison on the contemporaneous prices of competitive EV sedans?

It’s obvious that prices go down as the technology matures. To go decades back in time to bring those prices from the dead seems to be a curious thing to do.

This is very easy to enforce. Make Apple show the IP address of the person airdropping the content and make the log of IPs easily viewable by the user. 

The harassment victim then calls the police and reports the IP address. The carrier (on the request from the police) identifies the phone which had that IP during the time logged. The owner is then identified. 

NYC has cameras in many places. The police reviews the camera footage to prove that the iPhone owner and the victim in fact entered the subway around the time when the incident happened. 

Case proven. 

That's way too complicated.

All Apple needs to do is show a prompt that says "SoAndSo wants to send you a picture". You accept or not.

That's is.

Apple already displays this prompt. The prompt has a preview of the image. 

I guess I didn't make myself clear.....


A prompt WITHOUT an image.

So it looks like this:

SoAndSo wants to send you an image

[Accept]                 [Decline]


If you click "decline" the prompt disappears.

If you click "accept" then you get this:

Simple. The fact Apple shows you the image BEFORE you even accept it is pretty dumb.

I’m sure that’s how this issue will be resolved.

A solution to solve this is to (1) not show an image preview (2) a message (blah blah wants to send you a photo, are you sure you want to accept it? “Cancel” and “Preview” buttons. For people in your contacts iOS couN’re saying when you suggest a “preview” option ...

Heres a simpler and built-in solution ... simply change AirDrop’s default from “everyone” to “contacts.” You can do this right now, but in addition to that let me say I’m terribly sorry men have to such ... appendages ... and abusive to women.

Well, indeed. But the problem isn't the appendage; it's common decency, or lack of it. I think some people think this is not a really serious crime. Personally, I think someone who does this is simply gathering his 'courage' (for want of a better word) to escalate into something that these people would regard as serious.

If you are sorry about the appendage, it’s quite easy nowadays to get rid of it.

It certainly is a dilemma. My daughters’ MBAs are getting on, and maybe new machines would make good Christmas presents. If the MBP had a third gen keyboard (thus theoretically more reliable for life in a school bag) and a current gen processor it would not be a debate. 

They would miss the light up logo regardless.

Heavens.

I am also sorely tempted to make the leap to windows for a spectre. Built like a Mac even though it is win10 and has a crappy trackpad in comparison to a Mac.  But it’s selling points are it isn’t compromised when it comes to price, ports and CPU power.

Yeah instead it just runs a crappy OS and has crappier features. Just as good as a Mac... 

How does using standard, non-proprietary USB-C ports now make the MBP “compromised?” It used to be the case that haters and pundits criticized Macs for using proprietary ports, how times have changed. 

The price isnt compromised, either. As a working professional I pay for premium tools. The TCO is lower as numerous corporate white papers and my own experience has shown. Crappy commodity PCs give what you pay for...

Except for the MacBook Ait is not a professional laptop, and students are not working professionals. MacBook Air needs to start at $999 and the hugest-end model with a 512 GB drive and 16 GB SSD should be $1399. That would make it appealing to non-professionals. Otherwise, it’s an overpriced low-end laptop.

How low can you go? Are there NO values left in this world. Integrity? Pride? Honesty?

I’ve never heard any of these terms. Had to use a dictionary to look them up. Every one of them says “obsolete.”
