Apple plans to sell a “lock adapter” for Mac Studio that will prevent would-be thieves from swiping the machine from users’ desks, according to one report.

很多人都认同这样一句话:“落后就要挨打”,然而,很多人把这句话理解为:落后必须挨打,强大必须打人,从而信奉弱肉强食的丛林法则,这就与时代有些脱钩了。
诚然,在二战前的旧时代,在没有强有力的国际组织的情况下,很多落后国家的确挨打了。但是,时代已经不同了,如果有强有力的国际组织,落后未必就挨打,强大也没法随便乱打。
北约是很强的国际组织,联合国就弱一些。北约成员国里有不少弱国小国(例如波罗的海三小国),但没有一个国家敢打这些小国。
联合国成员国科威特也是小国,1990年伊拉克吞并科威特,并将其划为伊拉克的“第19个省”,并称它“永远是伊拉克不可分割的一部分”。1991年,联合国多国部队以较小的代价取得决定性胜利,重创伊拉克军队。伊拉克最终接受联合国660号决议,并从科威特撤军。
可见,弱国小国基本上有几条路。
1、信奉“落后就要挨打”的道理,大力发展军事,甚至发展核武器,让他国不敢对其下手,例如朝鲜。
2、加入国际组织,通过“集体自卫权”的方式让他国不敢对其下手,例如韩国、东盟、波罗的海三小国。
总的来说,走第二条路的国家经济上基本都较为成功,毕竟军事可是个烧钱大户。

Although the Mac has its own App Store, it’s not exactly as popular as the iOS App Store since Mac users can install apps from third-party sources. And while some developers trust their apps to the App Store, Apple’s platform lets them down in some ways. This time, developers of the Kaleidoscope app wrote a letter complaining about App Store bundles and the lack of paid app upgrades.
