the subjects could still go online using a computer

Are you suggesting that people who are intermittently connected to the internet instead of tethered to it by a pocket device are somehow more ignorant?

I have a 12 year old thinkpad that runs bazzite. Thinkpads are definitely rad

I think they mean pull-through cache. https://shipyard.build/blog/how-to-docker-registry-pull-through-cache/

That is a totally fair explanation. End of story. No blame. Honest mistake.

I’ve done this kind of thing remotely in screen with ifdown eth0 ; sleep 10 ; ifup eth0 ;

I think you nailed it. He can’t be held accountable for breaking the rules, but there are still rules, so in order for that immunity to produce power the people around and under him need to allow him to break the rules.

It seems like the only defense to the power grab is a strong resistance. This illuminates why he wants yes-men everywhere.

The G4 had a hardware bit rotate function, and a 128 bit bus, meaning it could do 4 32-bit bit rotates per clock cycle. the Intel Pentium 4 needed to emulate that one instruction over 4 CPU cycles, and had a 32-bit bus. This made the G4 orders of magnitude faster than the top Intel chip at the time at certain tasks, like cracking rc5 on distributed.net, where G4 clusters absolutely dominated the top ranks.

Our peak rate of 270,147,024 kkeys/sec is equivalent to 32,504 800MHz Apple PowerBook G4 laptops or 45,998 2GHz AMD Athlon XP machines - https://blogs.distributed.net/2002/09/25/00/00/bovine/

Apple has been known to release powerful hardware.

Jesus Christ, are we still denying this?

Really?

According to Hector Martin (Asahi Linux developer) making things easier for Linux developers is the only known reason Apple would have added this.
