>delivers all the songs in the world If only it were so.
Anything you have thats missing on spotify? For me one of the killer features of spotify is the ability to view and integrate songs on local/NAS storage into playlists, the few foreign tracks I had ripped worked just fine

depending on your network, `npx create-react-app --template typescript` might take 10-15 minutes easily.
Well, yes, given an infinitely slow network any action depending on the network can take an infinite amount of time. Since the discussion is around CPU hardware improvements, I don't think network speeds are too relevant.

that notch contains a camera, a couple of sensors and some mounting hardware. Eventually Apple might be able to engineer a smaller version and maybe eventually have them under the display but so far that has proven difficult. In the meantime, the notch is a cleaver method to increase the screen size without making the overall case larger and it does so by making use of a part of the screen that is normally little use…
They already did the miniaturization with iPhone 14 Pro which is why I asked. I don't really need to go through a rationalization why this ugly hack is good for me.

They can't. Apple is the most valuable company in the world and has more cash on hand than many medium sized countries.
What do you mean "on hand", isn't their net worth mostly the company's stocks which they would have to sell for it to be "on hand"?
I think that would better be described as "market cap", which is certainly a much bigger number than "cash on hand." The latter is basically liquid assets, which I think is a much more important metric when we're talking about outbidding competitors for fab space (among other things).

Is there any Windows machine that's fanless and at M1 speeds?
I can set my gigabyte laptop to Quiet mode and it's as good as fanless. As to the speed, I can play Doom Eternal with it (it has a mobile 3080 card), which M1 can't.

The new Notepad on Windows struggles to open files just a few hundred MB in size and visibly stutters and freezes when doing not much on a high end gaming PC. It is apparently an iron law of the Universe that all available computing power must be wasted .
I'd say that's _because_ it's an old app that hasn't been rewritten ground up to take advantage of modern hardware resources.

GP didn't mention degrading retinas, just age. I'm over 50 and need glasses but, while acknowledging that life is a one-way journey, I just don't like people talking like ageing is necessarily this slide into decrepitude after 40.
> GP didn't mention degrading retinas, just age. Retinas degrading is a factor of age.
