But JavaScript is now doing all the things Java promised to do (write once, run anywhere), whereas Java isn’t.

Unless you need > 192GB RAM, in which case Apple no longer has anything to offer you. The old Intel Mac Pro maxed out at 1.5TB.
But yes, while on paper, my Threadripper should beat the pants off my 16” Intel MacBook pro, in reality it is the other way round when it comes to real-time audio stuff, and also real-time video processing. The Threadripper is much better at batch processing workloads.
Starlink is a lot better than previous satellite internet services for sure. But a ground-based service is always going to be better than a satellite service where it is available. Anything you can do to make satellite better, you can also do to make ground-based services better.
Yes, definitely. An Ivy Bridge i7 3700 from 12 years ago is still a very usable computer for many use cases, except maybe games and video editing.
10 years ago, a 12 year-old computer would be utterly obsolete.
We are now at the point where most people replace their computers when they break rather than because they want new features. Phones are probably at that point as well now.
Road Tax is £0. Insurance is about £250 - the gap between women's and men's car insurance got even bigger after they banned sex discrimination. MOT is about £200.
The 3 mile trip would be a lot more inconvenient by bus, so it is worth it for me.
Taking a taxi would mean being alone in a vehicle, with a man, who if the weekly report of local magistrates court cases is anything to go by, probably doesn't have a driving licence or insurance. In common with all women, I choose the bear.
But when you are looking at averages, one thing people forget is that most miles are driven by people who drive lots of miles, and it is the miles driven that determine charging needs, not the cars.
I drive an average of about 3 miles a week and visit a petrol station about once per year. There is barely any difference between me and someone who doesn't have a car; most of the time I'm walking past it to go to the local bus stop, so you probably shouldn't be putting too much of a weighting on my car when considering your average requirements.
Don't they have a paper copy?
What happens if there is some sort of emergency that requires them to evacuate the building, and that emergency also causes the computers to stop working, eg due to a power failure? How do they check that everyone is out safely?
If your child is anything like me, I'm sure they are very good at making you think they only have the access you permit them to have.
Of course they will also have no problems whatsoever in getting round any government mandated restrictions.
On another note, I'm told that 1 year-old me was much better at opening "child-proof" locks than my parents were
Ticket price up 500%, sales revenue up about 10% or so. That tells me most people aren’t signing new contracts. The question is, how many of the people who did plan to migrate before the next contract renewal? I suspect it is >0%, and therefore revenue in future will go down.
And this is why you should look beyond just quarterly earnings reports with number go up.
In England (not the same as the UK), the blogger needs to prove that the statements are true, or alternatively convince the jury that the statements are not libelous[1].
[1] As an example of the latter, if I accused the Deputy Mayor of drinking tea, that might not be true, but people wouldn't think any less highly of him for doing that, so it isn't libelous. If I accused him of making his tea in a microwave[2], that would be libelous, and I would need to provide evidence to back up the claim.
[2] Just to be clear, this is a purely hypothetical example. I have absolutely no idea who he is or what his drinking or tea-making habits are.
Yes, it is the stretch of water between England and France.
It is also the route by which a product, in this case computers goes from the manufacturer to the end user customer. So the wholesalers, retailers, the value added resalers who set up the computer to the end-users requirements.
