Re: A rotten Apple
Apple have always bought in and re-worked existing tech. They are know for it from when Apple acquired their touch screen tech by buying Fingerworks and before that.
So nothing is changing here.

Right down the bottom of the list? You don't have much experience with the users.
And Mac is OK until you come up against "you need HomeBrew".
The multitude of different package managers and dependency controllers like Snap that are not even associated with one distro, people go looking for instructions on the web, they get instructions for RPM they need APT. There are dozens of similar scenarios. I am used to this but I don't want to have to clutter up with Snap and Flatpak or whatever. Not to mention being told to download the source and build it then it fails and they have to figure out what switches.
A seasoned linux user might love all that like a dog likes gnawing a bone, but it's a royal pain to many that just want to be getting on with life.
And I've only been talking about installing software. Not touch on distros, guis and more.
MySQL free in some naked form. I see people downloading and using MySQL workbench My understanding that, in an enterprise, this is not free.
Perhaps the same applies to VirtualBox, where people download and install the extension pack to enhance the performance of their VMs.
Traps are everywhere.
I will read the paper when I get the opportunity, but this article doesn't say which hemisphere the 373km pass encountered given Europa rotates about 3.5 earth days being tidal locked with its orbital period.
There will most likely be more oxygen produced at the centre of Europa's trailing longitudinal hemisphere , and it would not be a uniform abundance across the surface of the entire sphere.
Presumably these cables are like the cross section examples I’ve seen in a museum with multiple spirals of steel cable on the outside providing armour.
At a reasonable depth, hooking on and pulling to the surface a few tonnes in water with a marine salvage crane, then the damage can be applied with a large angle grinder.
the Windows giant comes down to licensing practices that either prevent or make it more expensive to deploy Microsoft's software platforms on third-party clouds – thereby creating an incentive to deploy on Azure.
Or an incentive to avoid those Microsoft software platforms.
Build cloud infrastructure so it is portable.
I worked at a place a long time ago, they had a PCB assembly department that they called the wire shop. Lots of chattering ladies would sit folding component legs and pushing them through PCB holes, soldering them and trim the excess.
Then they got a flow solder machine and less ladies. Then they got automatic test equipment and a more ladies that would read the ticket from the ATE and remove the indicated solder bridges, correct the wrong components and put in the missing ones.
Then they off-shored all the manufacturing. Over the years of reading the Register I've been reading about how all IT work in developed nations was going to be off-shored to developing nations, and quite a lot of companies tried that, and much of it didn't really work out. Then people were concerned about Cloud providers taking all the infrastructure work, but seems that is going through the same cycle as the off-shoring. I expect AI will have to go through that process too, before the reality occurs.
That company that off-shored its manufacturing is now doing its own manufacturing again, albeit with pick and place machine operators. One of the pick and place ladies is from the original wire shop and is back after some decades.
If wandering through Fitzrovia the bottom of the tower is reached along a pokey, dull little alley. It feels so inauspicious considering this was the glam building built at a time when central London generally avoided building above the height of St.Pauls dome, the earlier Shell building alongside the Thames stopped 4 metres short.
I've always loved seeing it above everything. Even today it doesn't have high structures close to it.
