Macrumors is reporting it as an "Apple Upgrade" financing program to replace the existing iPhone Upgrade Program. Financing, not leasing.

Thor might not have even been talking about Doom in the trailer. Maybe there's a bigger bad. Maybe Doom stopped Thor's attack to say "DOOM is not your enemy, fool."

I think that's low enough to demote Musk from trillionaire back down to just obscenely wealthy.

A Mac with 1.5TB RAM would be expensive at the best of times. In 2027/2028 it might approach $50k, or even get into 6 figures.

Microsoft is not going to remove .NET to attract software developers when they want developers to use .NET. Not having access to software that uses .NET probably wouldn't be a good trade off for how little removing it from Windows would do to make Windows lighter.

Good. They should have added an ad-supported tier people could opt in to, like everybody else did, instead of changing the existing tier to be ad-supported and requiring people to pay extra to opt out.

I haven't seen the customers named, but Apple finally increasing prices makes me think they're one of them.

They may need to extend it even further than that if PC prices haven't started coming back down by 2028.

massgrave can activate 3 years ESU on regular Enterprise for people who want things IoT LTSC is missing, like WMR. I've got Enterprise alongside Bazzite and when the updates run out I'll either switch to IoT LTSC or nuke Windows altogether.

No, it's a British term The Register uses a lot. From Wikipedia:

Boffin is a British slang term for a scientist, engineer, or other person engaged in technical or scientific research and development. A "boffin" was viewed by some in the regular military or government services as odd, quirky or peculiar, though quite bright and essential to helping in the war effort through having and developing the key ideas leading to transformative military capabilities.

"Boffin" made me think the slashdot post is about a post at The Register, and sure enough, it is.
