In 1999, the iBook was US$1599 (equivalent to $2925 in 2023) (source).
The 2010 13" Air was $1299 (more in today's $) (source).
The current 13" M3 Air is $1099 (source).
So yeah, they may well raise prices, but the cost of Apple's entry-level hardware has decreased in absolute terms over the years, and has decreased substantially if inflation is taken into account. Not to say the margins aren't higher (no idea about that), but it's interesting.
But the goal isn't just to convince people that you're better than the other candidate
it's to convince sympathetic people to get out and vote for you, and if not that, then at least not vote for the other.
I think people are largely decided on who they are not voting for, but who they are voting for is a bit different.
I'm usually against large institutions colluding together to kill off other institutions...
...but if the major research universities and labs all agreed to stop publishing in backwards for-profit journals, well I wouldn't exactly cry about it.
Right, that's what the & exit is supposed to prevent, since it's already logged out.
I did all of grad school with i3wm. And I spent a very, very long time in grad school...
I always ran startx & exit to prevent someone from VT switching to a logged in console if my screen was locked :)
Been a while but isn't that very insecure? Gotta run startx & exit ;)
I'll push back on that a little. Peloton has, from the beginning, been a very closed ecosystem.
Contrast this to the smart trainer I have which is marketed to cyclists (a Wahoo KICKR). It uses standard protocols to talk, and while they have some software available, it works independent of their ecosystem on standards compliant equipment (ANT+ and BLE). You can even talk to it using the open source GoldenCheetah software.
I would say I own this device. Sure I can't necessarily hack the firmware easily, but I can't hack the firmware on my microwave easily either, but I'd say I own that, too.
...or $SPY, or $QQQ, or...
