> Apple doesn't have this problem because they don't even make docks they're so problematic

There’s a Thunderbolt dock built into every display that they sell

> Rewriting a critical service like this in another language seems way higher risk than making sure all policy checks are flag guarded

So like, the requirements are unknown? Or this service isn't critical enough to staff a careful migration?

> If you honestly get hung up that LibreOffice doesn’t look like it was developed by Apple within the last 5 years then you are ultimately being disingenuous

Disingenuous? More like realistic.

I mean this ultimately boils down to “is inconsistent with the design of the rest of the computing experience.” People who care about good, consistent design and can afford to pay for it are Apple’s core market.

What is the check that we need to do for aspiring citizens that wouldn’t interest a lender?

Also, making sure the house is sufficient collateral for the loan is a whole bunch of additional overhead.

More config options means more to test and support, so more cost. The manufacturers who are buying lower end motherboards/chipsets at scale don’t need the feature. And virtually no consumer installs a PCI-E device, ever.

So basically, it’s an argument to make all computers more expensive, in order to subsidize hobbyists.

Stinky is very qualitative. Maybe you grew up around tobacco smokers and so don’t mind the smell? I hate it.

Quantitatively, marijuana smoke is less carcinogenic than tobacco smoke.

> Isn't your gripe with the Qatari government then rather than the airline?

It’s an absolute dictatorship. The government and the airline are the same thing.
