Yeah loan covenants lock you in like that. But banks don’t want to manage or sell big commercial properties. If it gets dicey for property owners, they’ll work out a deal with their bank.
Remember Getty:
If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem.

I upgraded as soon as Tahoe was generally available. I haven't seen major problems but due to another project I have not used the Mac very much. It's plugged into a docking station and stays up and running but it's been just idling for the most part.
But it handles the dock/undock, sleep, monitor mirroring, external hard drives just fine. During the beta there was a challenging issue with sleep/wake when it is docked but that has been resolved. So from a basic hardware functionality perspective Tahoe is working for me. That is fit and finish you would demand from Apple, but the Thunderbolt 4 dock is from OWC etc.
I haven't tested Electron worker thread issues beyond some light editing in Visual Studio Code. I haven't noticed acute performance problems.
That said, two weeks ago I was doing photo conversion to SVG with OmniGraffle, Affinity Photo and Designer, VSCode, multiple web browsers, five external storage devices... With all that, the system seemed laggy. I was getting irritated by some stupid design decisions the project required and the lag didn't improve my mood. So: totally subjective anecdotes.
What AA or AAA battery should I use for industrial applications?
I recently got a set of warning lights for car adventures. Like a chemical flare light but these LEDs run on batteries.
It was probably a stupid idea. Deleted paragraphs here about the risk/reward balance of attempting field repairs by the side of the road.
However, it did get me thinking about the longevity and safety of AA and AAA batteries in a device that needs to be kept in the car.
We get freezing winters, and direct sunlight in the summer will strike you down. (American Southwest mountain state.)
What's the best battery for a digital tire gauge that I keep in the glove compartment?
Should I keep it in the trunk instead? The worst of the summer heat is made worse by the greenhouse effect of the car's interior.
Yes, I should use an analog pressure gauge that works without batteries. I also carry one of these. The digital one is easier to use and generally gets the same readings as some more expensive, less portable test equipment.
What are the chances of the Earth forming yet remaining dry?
Exoplanet surveys that I've seen in popular press can see rocky, dry planets. I'm not sure if that's just a selection bias in our current technology or if Earth with ocean and atmosphere is relatively rare.
> they're bringing people down. It was that way in the USSR, and it's that way here.
This claim about the USSR seems strange to me.
In high school, I had a couple of classmates from the USSR and they had been attending advanced schools since childhood. They were brilliant mathematicians. The state-sponsored educational system had recognized their talents and lifted them up.
I understood the collapse of the Soviet Union to be a net loss for educational funding, but I am by no means sure of this.
It might make sense to turn over phones every two years if you are a business that maintains lots of phones.
As an individual, I generally keep my phones for at least five years.
Why should I spend $300 per year instead of $150 when the lower cost option works for me?
(I'm typing this on a 2020 iPhone SE; it runs the latest software. Although this year, that's not necessarily a good thing. Liquid Glass, Safari bugs.)
It had the requisite Steve Jobs interior design but that was augmented by an enormous mountain of white salt looming up behind it.
Sodium chloride. From evaporation ponds on the shores of the bay.
