How To Deal With BDSHoles (Updated)

Props to the quick thinking person who posted this note on the Apple computer belonging to a BDSHole at Oxford.

Hat tip: Moshe

Update: I believe this just might be the BDSHole responding to Ed Klinger, the note-leaver:

Hugh Jeffery Cool. Let’s negotiate the transfer whilst I steadily pile my books on your desk and refuse to remove them.

Also Apple owns Anobit, so although it may be based in Israel it’s not quite so clear cut. It’s not like Microsoft employ nobody in Israel, and I kinda need a word processor/the internet. If I were to be super pedantic about it I’d probably not be able to use any laptop. I think we all realise when you buy products like this they’re going to have components from pretty much everywhere. Way to trivialise an important cause through ridiculous #everydaypedantry.

Lame.

  1. That looks like a MacBook of 2007 or before. I don’t think that model (which is no longer sold) ever used flash memory.

  2. While I am all for pointing out Israel’s successes, especially in the tech sector, I would argue that when pointing out those successes, try to be accurate.
    As someone else mentioned, this MacBook predates a time when Apple used SSD drives. The first one was introduced in the MacBook Air in 2008.
    Secondly, Anobit was a tech company that Apple didn’t buy until 2012. They didn’t design the SSD drive.
    That honor belongs to another Israeli company, M-Systems.

    Thirdly, M-Systems and Anobit are not the only SSD drive manufacturer out there. According to a quick Google search, Apple has used drives made by Toshiba or Samsung in MacBooks.

  3. I really like the idea of stickers highlighting the Israeli-developed major components of hardware, software, and other tools used by BDSholes to promulgate their bilge. I, for one, would happily skulk about slapping them on the laptops, printers, what-have-you of these humorless ciphers.
