Answer to: [Bug] Sliders are moving out-of-bounds.I’m having the same issue too, but the rep slider works for me. I don’t care if I can’t set a time limit for this guide since it’s a prereq only, but this will eventually become a headache.

Answer to: Self-Encrypting Solid State Drive VulnerabilitiesThe SED trend has come to a close as far as I know. They still exist for industries like healthcare who have to deal with HIPAA/HITECH, but that’s about the only industry left who cares about them. Unless it’s advertised as an SED, don’t worry about it no matter who sells it. When my SED had performance problems, I canned it and went to a normal hard drive. I don’t notice a difference outside of the fact I will never have to worry about the encryption on the drive failing costing me everything.

Answer to: Looking for the best 2nd hand apple laptopThe 2012 13” non-Retina MBP is the best Mac you can get now that is still upgradeable. It isn’t as new as most rMBP variants on the market, but it also doesn’t come with soldered RAM and a nonstandard SSD. Unless the rMBP you’re looking started out as a 16GB/512GB system (most of the newer ones have 16GB of RAM, but the 512GB SSD isn’t common) then you will probably need to upgrade that down the line and it’s nonstandard - you need to get the Apple SSD or a compatible one (OWC or Transcend). That being said you don’t need the 512GB SSD but it sure helps to start out with it from the beginning. Yeah, this doesn’t bother everyone and many people like the rMBP, but the lack of upgradeable RAM is a deal breaker for me. The T2 systems solder both onto the board so you get both negatives on the same system. If Apple provided the option of having upgradeable RAM and made a system with a standard SSD (NVMe at this point) in exchange for disabling the T2 hardware entirely (or encrypting the SSD with the T2 and using a...

Answer to: So, is the glass half full or half empty?It seems like it’s similar for Android as well, since smartphone sales appear to be down in general. I still use a Moto G5 Plus and unless something happens that totals out the phone, I see no reason to upgrade just yet. Part of that is we’ve reached a point where an old phone is typically good for 4-5 years now. I also think it has to do with the move away from traditional contracts to payment plans for some. I may upgrade after I’ve had it for 4 years, but it’s going to be a paid for factory unlocked phone. It no longer makes sense to finance certain phones because they’re cheap enough you can pay for it all upfront. With the spread of cheap prepaid plans and affordable unlocked phones, it’s going to become far more common to buy your phone outright. That’s been my general rule for a while, especially since traditional contracts went away from regular carrier phone sales with the shift to payment plans. That move is partially why I will never finance a phone again. It makes *more* sense to keep an old phone...

Answer to: Feature request: "or" option for tool requirements in guidesWhat I do for these situations is I notate the alternative tool(s) you can use. It isn’t great as you need to hover over the item, but it’s there. In that example I find a pocket or utility knife a million times easier to use, but at the same time someone may not have it BUT may have scissors - I will mention it and they can choose their tool.
