Do you actually know why pretty much everything (HDDs, DVDs, flash drives, memory cards) always reports less memory than its written on them?
Yes. They go by the 1000 mb = 1 gb, when it’s actually 1024 mb = 1 gb.
It’s deeper than that too (1Mb = 1000kb and 1kb = 1000b), but anyways, Macs would report it like that… BECAUSE SOME IDIOT AT APPLE THOUGHT IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO USE THE 1000’s SYSTEM. Like, OK, it reports the capacity as it is written on the storage device. But imagine that you download a 3.1MB file only to discover that after downloading Mac reports it’s size as 3,25MB. And with even bigger differences on higher sizes (1GB file becoming 1,07GB file).
Like, why would anyone think it’s a good idea.
We’re talking about a company that made a laptop that is impossible to fix as soon as it breaks. I think we know where the error is.
You mean the one that had soldered in RAM ad battery, and SSD with a proprietary conector? Right, managed to forgot about it. Then yeah, Apple are just idiots.

And remember kids, trying to launch TF2 on Ubuntu by use of Oracle VirtualBox is neither easy, nor nice.

But it served it’s purpose.

I remember that actually :)
How did you find my blog?
Leave your stories in my ask, I’m really curious to know!
i would like to know
Oh my god, my brother told me that crows/ravens are very good at immitating human speech and he showed me this video and… it’s so cool… yet so unsettling
Quoth the raven… wakka wakka…
This bird is my favorite
The coolness of corvids is underestimated far too much! They can imitate human speech, learn the faces of people and warn conspecifics about them, learn to use tools - using traffic to break walnuts and fashioning tools out of branches (and in a lab study, one fashioned a hook from bendy wire to use as a tool)!
Corvids = awesomeness basically
