  So… Nobody will complain about this, but @Acraigl uses a turkey, and Woot members are in an uproar.

- @narfcake @PlacidPenguin As a side sale it will get less attention, but you know how us trailblazers are, taking all the heat.
  
  Also, didn’t BB-8 actually do this in the movie?

  “We did several different prototype ideas of what that could look like, and we had various amounts of metal and plastic on there,” added Patrick Tubach, another ILM visual effects supervisor for the film. “One of the difficult things with animating something like that is you have to be very careful that it doesn’t look like he’s giving you some other sort of gesture! We moved all the pieces around to make sure it was very clearly a thumbs up over any other kind of ‘salute.’”

Just as an FYI, these are the ones that Apple is being sued over the faulty keyboards on: https://9to5mac.com/2018/05/12/apple-keyboard-lawsuit/

That's probably why they're getting rid of these "held for previous warranty swap" laptops. Buying it with no real warranty is a risk since if they keyboard fails the repair will cost nearly as much as the laptop...

Has Apple ever responded back with “you’re typing it wrong?”

There were a handful of Computers bargains that popped up last night, but I was falling asleep at the keyboard, so I figured I’d look them over this morning.

Heh! What was I thinking?

$40 Kindle Paperwhites, $30 Fire HD 8, and a couple of decent laptops for cheap (with much better specs than the HP Stream on here the other night.)

Of course, all are gone this morning.

  Rhetorical question, or would you really like an answer?
