Funny you're showing up as downvoted, but this is absolutely right. Apple is testing their search abilities with URL autocomplete and it's surprisingly good. It's gotten much better in the last 6 months in particular.

Do you not feel Apple has been successful with the Watch and AirPods? Their wearables revenue dwarfs the revnue of most top tech companies.

It's always fun to ask people how much they think the annual budget for the NYPD might be, and learn they're off by several orders of magnitude.

Maybe it's explained in Doom Guy, but why does the author use "ATS" as the TLA for "Adaptive Tile Refresh"? I can't find any references other than this article.

I get that for whatever reason folks like yourself don't want to believe it, but trust me, masks work. Just ask anyone who works in asbestos abatement or BSL-2+ facilities.

You were being asked about Surface vs Macbook Air - why're you bringing MacBook Pro into it? There's no extra upfront cost for Apple. It is mind boggling how good a computer you can get for USD$800 from Apple compared to anything
