    Doesn't seem much better on iOS. I just checked and I've got Twitter with 2.59GB, Instagram with 1.27GB, TikTok with 1.21GB, etc.

    I'm surprised mismatching parenthesis was a common mistake in 2016 given the ubiquity of IDEs and text editors that should catch a syntax error like that. == vs .equals() is pretty…

    I'm aware of the leaks/rumors, but I'm saying the M1 MBP isn't any indication. It's not an entirely newly designed body, just the old base model with a new processor (and I think t…
