Giving it a fancy name does not hide the fact it would be much better to replace the HDD with an SSD the same size. Typical Apple - marketing over substance.

Tatters@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytesEnglish112·2 years agoOk, I understand what you are trying to do, but I that is not how I read it at the time. Prefix to me in this context means e.g., “kilo” in “kilobyte”, and not the “k” in “kB”. I am not sure it is helpful to split the unit symbol up like that.
Tatters@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytesEnglish381·2 years agoThanks for this article. Unfortunately, you used the word “prefix” when you really meant “unit symbol”. So, “kilo” and “mega” are prefixes, kB and MB are unit symbols. You repeatedly called the latter “prefixes”.

Tatters@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How To Turn Off Google’s “Privacy Sandbox” Ad Tracking—and Why You ShouldEnglish52·2 years agoI started using Chrome instead of IE11, which was crap for standards, and before Edge was a thing. When Edge came along, I got really ticked off by the constant nagging to use it, which made me hate it without even trying it. I will probably carry on with Chrome for now, whist I can still turn off all the ad tracking stuff.
It doesn’t have to be separate branches - you can generate different versions of the software from the same code branch, e.g. using compiler/build time switches for those bits of the code that differ between the different target platforms. Then you would have a build pipeline per platform; even here the build pipeline can share a lot of common code, and just be parameterized for the specific platform.
