It’s overpriced hardware

Have you seen the M4 benchmarks?

If you’re memory bound then sure, you can get way more bang for your buck with Intel/AMD. But for pretty amazing CPU performance I think the “Apple is overpriced” trope isn’t really true any more.

If you don’t want to sail the high seas, and you don’t want to pay, the library is a great, free option.

Ah, pretty sure that’d be the whole OnStar transceiver, too (which isn’t a bad thing to disable…).

I thought the antenna itself was behind a fuse (as in, feedline has an inline fuse) which would be a peculiar design I think.

Are antennas usually behind a fuse?

Verizon will tell you to fuck right off and will never unlock your device.

Will never unlock their device.

Maybe they mean four year uptime…
