I'm excited for the 27 (or maybe it will be 29") variant

Fascinating. It's amazing the 3D chess these companies have to play effectively.

We're in a brave new world. The early prognosticators thought the M1 was more a proof of concept (shove it into existing designs to get it out there). But now we know that it was a…

Not a good look Google; especially when you've got a great, big target on your back from the antitrust/anticompetitive hawks.

I was bit surprised to see M1 in the iMacs. I thought the M1 was going to be a very capable proof of concept. But now we've got it in iMacs, iPads, and Macbooks. So I wouldn't be s…

This is perhaps the real genius of the M1. It's a great chip and all. But when you make it the only choice, people are finding the only choice is more than sufficient. And now Appl…

I think that's a bit dramatic. I'm using a 16GB M1 Macbook Pro as my daily driver doing standard, boring professional work (lots of email, tabs open, PDF manipulation, Word, Excel,…

Only on the pro's. The base iPhones still start at 64GB. But that's a heck of an improvement from a couple years back when the entry was 16 GB!

The M1 isn't what kills x86 (if it ever does completely). ARM kills x86. Microsoft is working on the ARM transition. ARM has good control of mobile hardware. And Apple will be only…

Right. People are comparing Apples to Oranges. The salient question is: how long does each machine take to execute the processes I use on a daily basis?

Exactly. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison. 8GB of M1 RAM is very different than 32GB of standard DIMM-like RAM. Sort of like when people compare nm of processes on the chips…

This was a situation I ran into a lot when buying simple Intel-based nuc's for family. It got more complex when the difference between and i5 and i7 got really close due to thermal…

I think the issue with the comment is that it comes off as biased or distracting (regardless of the intent). The conversation is about Apple Silicon vs Intel, and then it veers off…

Author switched in 2009, then switched back in 2018. Author believes Apple is becoming evil because they intentionally slow their devices to force upgrades—not true, or, at the ver…

Agreed with the bogleheads suggestion. I’m a lawyer who does some consulting to people in similar situations, and the mistake that everyone makes is thinking that because it’s a lo…

+1. Regardless of the intent, and i genuinely feel for this person’s struggle, the post comes off a little narcissistic —- “let me publicly announce why I’m not publicly announcing…

My vitamix spins fast enough . . .

Sums up my feelings. At this point, I firmly believe that the negative physiological consequences from the stress about nutrition outweigh any benefits. Eat intelligently (I think …

Yep. When the lawyers/firms were personally on the hook for the fees, it scared them a lot. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/01/original-patent-...

Another lawyer here. I think Octane Fitness was what really did in most parent trolls. Before the trolls were extorting small companies and playing the lottery with big companies (…

This might be a great idea in theory, but terrible execution. By having this only apply prospectively, it makes every new business have to compete with businesses that can offer fr…

If others agree with the author’s opinion, it makes the case for curation like Apple Music launches with and has been touting as a differentiator.

So, in an effort to fight off/investigate a “far right” political organization (it doesn’t matter whether they are or aren’t), the police are using some scary tactics that one migh…

Liked for the last line. Getting old is funny.

Your last point is spot on. Lots of successful people are simply good at faking it and not getting called out. This is good and bad. Good if you know how to play the system. Bad be…
