  • This is one area where Apple has it pretty right. A Mac will do somethings when ‘asleep’ like download emails and texts. It also can broadcast its location if the ‘Find Me’ function is on. If it’s plugged into power then backups will also run, and background app updates will happen. It does this in a low power mode, so it won’t get hot enough to need fans. It’s worked flawlessly for 20 years. Meanwhile all our PCs are set to ‘never sleep’ and just get shutdown when not in use. I never trust a PC laptop to wake successfully from sleep just by closing the lid.



  • Checking sources twice is something you should do from a news agency that is actually reputable. As in it trades on being honest and accurate.

    You’re not obliged to read everything from an outlet that has no track record of honesty and integrity simply because you’ve been beaten around the head with the internet ‘logical fallacy’ meme one too many times.

    Thinking that everything you read on the internet should be worth your time to fact check is the ultimate logical fallacy.








  • I don’t see it as glorifying, but I can see how that comes across. The amazing thing about the show is that there is this tiny relatable piece in every single one of the characters - they all just want to be loved by their family. They all have an incredible bond, which they have no qualms in using to manipulate the others to get their own selfish ways.

    I think it’s the tension and duality which makes the show compelling. It clearly also shows the corrupting influence of power through the various characters at various time, so I can’t agree that there’s any intention to glamourise wealth.
