I really like the double-plaster wall that is revealed by the hole in the bathroom picture. If Apple Store storage room is built using only plaster screwed on metal framework, then what else could you expect?

Edit: It also seemed they lack any security in the storage room. Even some simple infrared detectors would have helped there. Total oversight from the security perspective.

Could you please update the title with [video] so that we know what to wait from that link.

It says youtube in the link

Still, that's the convention for the name of things that point to a video here.

Strange that we're now watching a disagreement between two people about whether or not the link should follow a naming convention.

That’s not a weak outlook, but rather a weak facebook.

It would not be a safety issue indeed only until the replacement part includes some mitm hardware that tampers the face id authentication flow. And this can be planted into the genuine looking replacement part as well.

I expect that at least one of these things would have to be true:

1. The MITM hardware could be installed into the screen that's already paired with the iPhone, so the serial check wouldn't help

2. The MITM hardware would make the screen look non-genuine regardless of serial, so the serial check wouldn't be needed

Apple recycles huge amounts of materials from old products. I really hope that people are not following your suggestion and estimate the environmental impact only by iPhone cable and connector port.

And this is not a problem for MacBooks and iPads. Nobody docks them in a cradle or to a car phone stand.

Tell that to a bookeeper who runs aincent software the company has licensed decade ago or to the factory worker who must use a CAD software for a particular CNC machine to prepare the work files.

So yeah, legit but niche use case. Thankfully I don't need to worry about it so don't give it a second thought.

windows's long tail is niche use cases

That's why I stopped using Macs years ago. I kept fighting the xcode toolchain on basic things. Maybe it has improved? I don't know, but I am not ready to readjust things when 99% of the time, Debian (or Kubuntu) with KDE just works along with well-supported hardware (for laptops: ThinkPads). There are some minor issues I run into, but it is not convincing me to run out and get something else. Also, if I tinker, it's because I want to, not because I need to. I mostly use defaults myself (except maybe adding a couple of useful widgets.)

I thought at one point I still needed to use Macs (for web development work) but there is nothing special it offers at least for what I mostly do.

I value my time sufficiently, thank you very much. Some people value their privacy more than a set of default settings, some don't see tweaking and tinkering as cost but as value by itself. Also you don't seem to get what Free Software is - it's not about getting free stuff.

Linux works perfectly if you select the right hardware for it (which is most hardware, just got to avoid a few obscure components).

If you're a developer or use any development tools at all, Linux is easily the best platform and will save you time. If you host anything on the internet, odds are it's a Linux host.

And even if you're just a regular user, if you don't need a specific piece of obscure software, Linux is super low maintenance as long as you didn't select that small amount of hardware that doesn't work.

Open source and free software is free. Even if you value your time.

Sorry for being a pedant.

No one has claimed you would have to pay for open/free software. But, as with everything else, you need to calculate the total cost of ownership. And there your personal effort or your efficiency comes into play.

Yes but having choices doesn't take time, only using them does. Picking one OS over the other because of many options is basically saying "I can't have choices because I can't stop myself from using them". What takes time is having an OS you have to fight because it refuses to do what you need it to do because of some decision taken by Apple. When that happens MacOS gets extremely expensive in time.

Well, by the time the systemd gets as old as sysvinit currently is, everybody will have the correct one in their muscle memory.

I agree with the GP in that I can never remember the order of args for systemctl either. But I also accept that systemd is here to stay (and I like it, especially for writing services, and across distros!), and I'll get used to it eventually. For example, I managed to get over `ifconfig -> ip addr` fairly quicker, even if it was really annoying at the start!

So the admins should really not rant about systemd but complain about the distributions who switched to systemd or about their employers who force them to use such distributions.

Or just buckle down and view a new chance to learn something as an enjoyable opportunity. Dammit people we aren’t paid for being experts but the ability to become expert-like in new areas.

More than one thing can be bad.
