    Changed my life. Even if his theories were wrong, it was eye opening

    NAND card is replaceable in a proprietary socket. So you don’t have to worry. It probably is not upgradable but you can definitely replace it.

    Yup, grew up in East Syracuse about 2 miles from the Erie Canal. Rode my bike many hundreds of miles east and west as a kid.

    You can turn off wrist detection so it stays unlocked.

    Won’t work anyway. You can’t virtualize an Intel macOS on an Apple silicon VM. Unless you were just looking to transfer your data files. If so you can share a directory that is the…

    It also seems to be on by default on iOS 17.1. It doesn't seem to on by default in MacOS Sonoma (14.1).

    Scroll up. Still there. We all need to get used to many more scroll pages.

    Never mentions Siri at all. Weird. Newest watches it’s all on device. Maybe he doesn’t know that?

    It was always a stupid rumor. Can you imagine if Apple required a different USB-C cable for your new iPhone rather than what already works with iPads and MacBooks? They would never…

    Notebook check says equivalent to a Core i5-8250U. That is not good in 2023. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Processor-N200-CPU-Bench...

    Too bad Apple's management was so timid. That could have changed the course of computing back in 1985. I had a Macintosh IIx and it was a great computer but I would have bought the…

    They should use AmorphousDiskMark. But I don't doubt the results in general. It looks like Apple has a hard time sourcing new 128 GB Nand chips.

    Same as the M2 MacBook Air with 1 256 GB Nand chip. The 512 GB M2 Pro has 2 256 GB Nand instead of the previous 4 128 GB. Probably no big deal for most users.

    Apple silicon MacBook is not a good choice. Love what the Asahi people are doing but come on. Terrible idea.
