> all my EU/UK macbook plugs I got from apple are always grounded, metal prong and metal side pins

The short version, where you remove the extension with the 3-prong plug and attach the plug directly to the charger brick, is only available in 2-prong in the EU/US (the UK thankfully still gets all 3 prongs in this configuration)

yes true the short one has no grounding.

Anyway as I replied to the other guy (and got downvoted for it) if the plug was grounded there would be no issue. Apple chargers have ground pins.

But sure it's bad if they stopped including grounded versions by default in EU...

> Now that adapters are mostly only used with two prong connectors the spicyness is ubiquitous

One can still obtain the 3-prong pigtail instead of the little 2-prong inline plug, and that one grounds correctly.

Unfortunately they only seem to make a 3-prong inline version in about 3 countries.

> dead battery? mac wont start for 15 min on connecting power

Having just received an M4 in the mail with a completely flat battery, I can confirm this is nearer 10 seconds on Apple silicon (you are correct it used to be this way on Intel Macs)

Having an M1 and an M2, no it isn't. Takes at least 5 minutes on the 65W charger to get bootable from a full drain. Maybe something changed with the newer models but it isn't a benefit across all Apple Silicon.

Have never tried the 65W charger, but have had no issues booting from fully discharged with the 96W brick

> I use it to turn designs to code all the time

A human can however do the same job. Turning designs into code isn't a fundamentally new capability unlocked by GenAI, it's just a shuffling of costs from employing humans -> renting GPUs

On the flip side, with the US cutting funding for scientific research, and increasing persecution of minorities within the US, I know a whole bunch of qualified scientists/researchers who are either moving to or actively hunting for a position in the EU

In a civilised society, we don't typically regard 15 year olds as responsible for their own radicalisation at the hands of adults

There is no civilized society that treats 15 years old not responsible for joining terrorist groups and for actively working with them.

15 year old being radicalised into terrorism is a societal and parental failure, not the moral failure of an individual child. We don’t treat 15 year olds as adults in other legal proceedings, we should not do here either

Is there any evidence that GenAI is incapable of redteam'ing proprietary software? This seems like the sort of thing an agent with suitable tooling would be quite good at - I see someone already made an MCP for ghidra...

You have to get up to about 8 or 10 before you really start climbing the ranks

Good thing MacBooks don't ship with regular displays then.

FWIW, I've had no trouble with Mac font rendering on bog standard 1440p and 4K external displays

Definitely didn't expect this to be about literally filing the corners off. Bravo! I think it looks pretty great, not sure I'd do it to one of mine
