Im not sure I agree; a set of $700 wheels won’t make anybody who can easily afford them feel like struggling customers again. Wealthy people that I got to know would likely feel offended by the price tag in relation to the functionality. T

Some large motherboard vendors do this too. They'll happily drop an autoupdater onto any fresh Windows installation booted from the board. https://www.techpowerup.com/248827/asus-z390-motherboards-au...

In a way they already do. All current Macs include a T2 chip, which is a variant of the A10 chip that handles various tasks like controlling the SSD NAND, TouchID, Webcam DSP, various security tasks and more. The scenario you mention — a up

Interesting, is this feasible in everyday life? I do not use Linux on my desktop or notebook but I would like to do so in the near future. This means I should strive to keep all my user created data within the home directory at all time

Yes, there's also the topic of unrecoverable read errors (URE) and their effect on successful RAID rebuilds. [1][2] Most consumer drives are still sold rated as <10^14 bits read per error. That's 12.5 terabytes, so in the worst

That's exactly what I was wondering! With my (relatively small) Cable ISP in an affected country it obvious to me that any Netflix content gets served from very close to the edge, with higher bandwidth and lower latency than almost any

My opinion is that MacBook Pros turned into consumer machines somewhere along the way and the overwhelming majority of buyers use them for Facebook, Youtube and Mail.app. I imagine Apple has a vast amount of metrics on this. None of these

I had both (a gift I didn't ask for) and prefer the QC35s for NC and regular Airpods for casual on-the-go use. Airpod Pros had worse noise cancelling but slightly better sound quality (clearer mids/highs, less bass). I think this

Interesting. As a datapoint, I was unexpectedly gifted Airpod Pros for Christmas and all three tip sizes seal well in my ears according to the test app. The middle sized one is most comfortable. Regular Airpods fit fine. That being said I&

Apple's hardware recently improved by reverting some changes done over the last few years. Many attribute this to the departure of a certain designer that was also in charge of iOS 7, so I feel like there’s hope.

Am I cynical to expect one of these in every Echo/Home/Portal "assistant" within a decade? You know, strictly for 3D-avatar VR communication purposes only.
