You don't seem to grasp what "relevant" means, or what "non-issue" means. Trump's situation is, obviously, directly relevant, and it's most certainly an issue.

No, he was not. You don't seem to fundamentally understand what "due process" means. At all. Look it up: "Due process is a requirement that legal matters be resolved according to established rules and principles, and tha

A knob is not a particularly natural or efficient way to do that, however.

As long as we're being picky, it's also "macOS", no capital M, and not "MacOS".

Feels very, very much like a clumsy attempt at a gotcha attack on Obama. The truth, of course, is that ALL car and truck sizes in the US have been rapidly increasing for several decades now, and Obama had absolutely nothing to do with that.

Did you not really read the comment in your haste to blame the commenter for tailgating? They didn't refer to any vehicle at all in front of them. Tailgating is a big problem, though.

It's embarrassing, a priori. There's so much here that is embarrassing that we'd have to have about five beers to even cover it on a surface level. So much that was just lazily copied verbatim rather than anyone TRYING to do

Really embarrassing level of blatant copying of iOS icons and design language, here.

This is very easy for you to say. Are you a teenage girl? Do you live in a dark-red state? Have you ever tried to consult a doctor in Nebraska about abortion?

I get the objection to Apple's unencrypted iCloud backups, but could we present the facts without multiple exaggerations, distortions, and unsupported opinions, please? First, no, it's not "everyone's iMessages". Th

It's nonsense. Unemployment is at a 50-year low.

There are several very interesting books about this, yes. Air disasters are fascinating to read about.

It's not a miniscule difference in port size at all, btw. It's actually quite significant. And yes, it is a limiting factor in at least two ways: how thin the device can become, and how strong the case frame can remain at its weak

Except we clearly see that Linus has bought Macs over and over again. Presumably because they're the best tool for the job and he likes them. And you still have failed (like everyone else) to make any real argument that Apple is someho

Phone yes. iPad that you are not holding in-hand the entire time so it directly faces you, not so much.

Can't you make your argument without the fallacious roping-in of Amazon? Apple isn't Amazon. Also, if Macs are actually as hostile to consumers and to open-source computing as you claim (and boy, is this ever an old and tired clai

You didn't seem to have trouble posting a different response/opinion. And I'm glad you did, as I welcome the debate, even though I disagree. As a side note, there is nothing technical limiting Lightning to USB2 speeds. It&#x2

True, although that Tensor chip is around 24 months behind Apple's chips, and the gap is getting wider and wider.

The 0.5x is far more useful than the 2x. Most of the things one would do with the 2x can be had by just walking a bit closer to the subject. Or by just shooting at 1x and cropping, since there's resolution to spare. But the 0.5x very f

Out of curiosity, why? USB-C offers no marked improvements over Lightning, none whatsoever, plus it's more fragile and the port size is significantly larger.

Just to cite one example, all that blazing compute is what enables the cameras to work as well as they do.

Face ID doesn't work very well in the dark, and it's especially awful if you're lying on your side using an iPad in bed in the dark, since the angle is wrong. Touch ID was markedly superior in contexts like this, in addition

I get why people lie sometimes. I get why people mislead, or fudge facts, or gaslight. But it's genuinely hard to figure out why you'd post something like this when spending literally 3 seconds on a Google search shows that you ju

I don't see why there's any credible reason to expect that DALL-E will do anything at all to help those promoting the NFT silliness. Two separate issues.
