I wouldn’t get too excited on this topic. The differences between a Mac or Windows PC round to nearly zero in basic GUI operations, and the primary software kids will be using rega…

The article doesn’t say why, but at launch the MacBook Neo was the most inexpensive Mac Apple ever made, and it’s a full proper Mac. Despite being inexpensive, it also isn’t junk. …

RAM production is historically not a great business to be in. It’s a mint today, but it’s an incredibly tough business to break into & by the time any hypothetical Apple RAM fab is…

It’s really not. Ripping a CD is just copying the tracks to your computer. It says & implies nothing about sharing them on Napster.

Predates the Mac mini (tagline: The most affordable Mac ever.) by a good few years—predates the iPod even—but it was an Apple ad campaign: https://youtu.be/K0ZWuhcM7t4 https://www.…

You are trying to split hairs on synonymous terminology in an effort to correct me when my original statement was already correct, and doubling down. Why? Call it a bundle if you l…

That’s what a pack-in title is. I had one of those GameCubes, and I ended up trading in the packed-in Metroid Prime to EB Games for like $5 in store credit cuz I didn’t like the ga…

Don’t stop here in this comments section. You’ve got the makings of a novel.

Metroid is a secondary or tertiary IP, and the Metroid Prime subseries has always had more smoke online than its sale figures would ever suggest, with only the original on Gamecube…

They might have the ability to do so. The motivation? Well let me put it this way: I tried Amazon’s grocery delivery service, and stopped using it because everything— everything —k…

No. Platforms are better when the owners of them continue to invest directly in & improve the user experience. Turning them into white label runtimes for apps is something only ner…

It’s a swipe at Apple since Apple’s M.O. is to lock in long term memory contracts at guaranteed prices for a couple of years. Contracts Micron has been happy to sign before, so yea…

Finding additional ways to waste more of people’s time on the web isn’t a good solution to anything. Doing so in a privacy invading way from a company that has a vested interest in…

I’ll add onto this the PA system & noise from the trains themselves. BART isn’t exactly a quiet train system, and MUNI is far too comfortable blasting announcements & propaganda th…

Well let’s see: > Plenty of younger people are already reverting to more primitive phones or physical media, and I wonder if it's just older addicted richer millenials that'll keep…

Not enough to have stopped the iPhone 17 Pro line from being a runaway success that even Apple—famously excellent at projecting demand and already invested in selling as many as po…

No. I just switched away from Apple Maps too when they added ads. If I’m dealing with adware either way, may as well use the best.

LLMs can’t lie. They are incapable of telling either the truth or lying. To the extent that they are in any way useful, it’s recognizing that they are text generators attached to c…

I read the article and I’m aware of the failure modes of Google’s AI summary. They’re actually one of the worst in the space on this shit which is why I don’t use Gemini and it’s f…

If those are things you legitimately care about before you spend one penny on a T-Shirt, then you are. Or you did your research before hand. Or you’re just not buying the T-Shirt. …
