Is there any evidence that it was "years of regulatory and industry pressure" that did it? When Apple introduced Lightning it was as the "modern connector for the next decade" and... that's exactly what happened.

They might be referring to when Apple removed subpixel antialiasing around ~2018. It caused some consternation at the time because there were still plenty of non-retina Macbook Airs in service. While it technically works, macOS really is no

Yes, there’s a video where Michael Okuda (with Adam Savage, I think?) recalls the TNG cast being worried about where to tap, and his response was essentially “you can’t press a wrong button“.

Hah, yes. Satire can be "deceptively" effective. I didn't create this, and naturally it was flagged for a time, but if it made someone chuckle it was worth posting on a Saturday night.

The fidelity vs. performance decision is precisely what Sony markets the PS5 Pro as eliminating. I’d also just prefer developers make 60fps the baseline, then use any additional horsepower for more frames or more real resolution.

And each level up in RAM typically includes a bump to CPU and/or GPU core counts as well, so it is even more difficult to discern the true pricing. Annoying, but also understandable that they don't want to produce every possible c

Yes, 25% more RAM is significant. As you said, the M1 has significantly less performance, but it has enough memory. We can infer that RAM is the deciding factor from that.

It’s about RAM, I think. Only A17 Pro has 8GB, which we can infer is the new baseline.
