2020 and before macs will run windows without any extra cost- they include bootcamp in the original IOS, and its easy to install windows, and reboot the mac as a windows machine. Thats because they run Intel processors. Post 2020 Macs run ARM chips, and they require using an aftermarket windows...

all the new ARM machines I see are more expensive, and, of course, the software is more cloud and subscription oriented. Many reviews lately are saying that mac laptops are a better buy than the new ARM laptops... I think all the manufacturers are going to use the tech switch to raise prices and...

Ok, I have only bought 3 properties in Argentina, over a 20 year period. but- "Lawyer"? I did have a friend draw up the first offer for me, in 2007, and he was a lawyer, but every bit of paperwork for every purchase and the one sale I have done in Argentina did not include any other lawyerly...

This is very common. Siblings disagree, and places sit empty for years. I knew someone who spent a couple of years working with something like 16 different heirs, to get them all to agree to sell. He really wanted it, it was 6 adjoining lots, and became an enormous garden. But often, besides...

wait til he finds out argentina is full of communists, peronists, feminists, LGBQTs, cooperativas, and a political system far to the left of where he is leaving.

I find it amusing that in New York, they think he has moved to the end of the earth, while picking the neighborhood in Buenos Aires that is the least Argentine, and most like the USA suburbs. Private cops, no services, no stores, tall fences and expensive cars. That house could be in Beverly Hills.

Milei, obviously. Although its hard to see behind the humo from the motosierra.

Clutch those pearls. She is clearly Not a “trotskyist”, as she has not advocated permanent revolution, or exporting revolution globally, two of the cornerstones of trotsky. She does seem to agree with Trotsky’s belief in direct democracy and opposition to totalitarianism and a administrative...

where are you getting the 800k usd figure from? the article I linked to clearly stated 300 million pesos per electric bus. thats 212,000 dollars today. where are you getting the 800k usd? thats how much a overhead trolley costs the city of Seattle, delivered in the USA, when bought 40 at a time...

this works with some things- figuring out how to turn off the child proof lock on your washing machine, say. But many things are a bit more complicated. Generally speaking, common mass produced consumer items can be diagnosed up to a point by youtube videos. and then you have 150 years of...

you must be very young if you think many public works last longer than 40 years... the majority of Light Rail projects I have worked on- Los Angeles, San Jose, Denver, and Seattle, - have the majority of the tracks in dedicated right of ways. Some have auto crossings, some do not. Phoenix has...

I get it. I was just pointing out the many retailers are capitalizing on her wearing expensive custom gloves to name their cheap, unrelated gloves after her, and catch a ride on the publicity. In Argentina, trademark and brand piracy is very common.

I am not sure what you have against light rail, but I like it. I am absolutely biased- I have worked on Five different Light Rail systems over the course of my career, and was tunnel trained on 2, right of way trained on 4. of course, I was a very minor sub, but I have been up close and...
