Lease. You can buy it out at the predefined price at the end.

That’s not a brand new folding phone. Those start at $1900 MSRP from what I see. However, you can get them a few hundred cheaper. Some of them cost even more than Apple. People have been saying “Oh my God, who would pay $600 for a phone“ fo

I trust Apple likely did better, though they’ve made bad decisions before (Studio Display camera). My biggest worry is the lack of Face ID. I love Face ID so much. I know I can do the Apple Watch unlock, but I don’t want to. I just want my

I suppose Google too. Basically every single one.

It’s confined to the assumption you already want AirPods. Apple isn’t going to mention things they don’t sell.

I think it’s nice and I think they covered it right in the video. Do you want open ear (AirPods) or closed (AirPods Pro). Some people can’t stand having something in their ear. The volume control is a nice feature to have and now it’s avail

They’re currently embroiled in a technology theft lawsuit. Don’t expect it any time soon.

Why in the world do you think that? It’s an email that came out in discovery for a lawsuit. It’s absolutely him. Because he doesn’t talk like this in public? I promise you no big executives talk the same in public as they do internally.

I suspect plenty spoke up. But once filtered through 35 layers of management “this is terrible and our users will hate us” becomes “best thing we’ve ever done, users love us”.

Musk has ingratiated himself with parts of the political spectrum, or at least had since he later alienated them. I have no idea what his current standing is. So for everything wrong with Musk there are at least some people who like him, am

That was one thing I noticed. Once they started passing the blame, almost immediately, I would expect the first thing to be a new email from Gates saying “Bob, you’re doing this, Frank, you’re doing that, no excuses, get it done.” Nope. Not

It’s the only OS available for most computers. Sort no one cares about Linux or a BSD. Normal people only know Linux and Mac and you can’t get MacOS with your non-Mac. And we all know Microsoft caters hard to enterprise and Apple almost see

Jobs has been dead for a long time. And it shows. He had bad ideas too but was much better at holding the line on good UI (unless the bad idea was his). We haven’t had that in a long time.

Ah, thanks. So instruction loads also count as data loads?

So in this specific case, if I understood correctly, here’s what should happen: Interrupt(?) fires to trigger hypervisor, hypervisor figures out what it needs to do, jumps to that code, does its job, returns. The “figured out what it needs

And it’s not. They’re working on it, I just saw a post about it today. But Intel and AMD post documents to explain how to use their hardware. Apple doesn’t. So it’s not an equivalent effort by any stretch.
49.
by MBCook 10d ago
They publish documentation because they need OEMs to be willing to support their products. Apple doesn’t. Apple consumes it, so Apple always has a customer.

I would be really interested in a much, much longer timescale version of the graph. Like 50 to 100 years.

Island hoppers? Very few highways between the Hawaiian islands. Or Caribbean. Probably plenty of other places. There are tons of places in the world with short haul flights today, even if good highways exist. Every one of those planes is a

But maybe they’re aiming at short haul cargo. And either way, wouldn’t that really be one of the last things to do? Just proving the plane can even get in the air and stay there for a useful distance on electricity is more important than ho

by MBCook 13d ago
It may be too hard to do a good retrofit. If you basically have to tear the entire plane apart and rebuild and recertify it to put batteries in the right places, maybe the costs aren’t worth it for potential customers. I know many planes us

Did you notice the part where Daniel said they had fixed it two months before the first report?

Reading the messages in the original bug report reminded me of LLMs. But I don’t know if it was. Because it ALSO reminded me of dealing with people who will just keep bringing up the same point as if you’re an idiot while completely ignorin

I’ve seen people (and even doctors) advocate doing that for fighting medical rejections too. If the insurance company wants to dump tons of paperwork and demand responses to nonsense, why not send them large piles of nonsense that they have
