Hopefully they keep Mx line as power efficient everyday chips, and create something really ludicrous (P1?) for the high end models. It’s about time that the “Pro” devices started being actually pro. Massive cache, on chip ECC memory, etc. T

That’s definitely true, but battery technology has advanced quite a bit. Cells can take a bigger beating without issue compared to early Tesla’s.

As much as Apple touts features as "incredible innovations", I think a lot of them are just engineering solutions. I see FaceID as the compromise of increasing screen size to fill all the real estate on the iPhone. The Macbooks ha

Surprisingly, the dealbreaker for me on this current generation is 2x TB3 ports on one side. I really like being able to charge from either side.

Will the MBA have a different "M1" chip than the MBP? And the Mac Mini? Seems like they're all using the same processor.

Let’s say you work for a respectable $80k/year (more than enough to live comfortably in most of the world). If you get the job at 25 and retire at 65, that’s $3.2m. So yes, he can retire for life.

Used Tandem, it sucked. The app is 250mb of Electron and it shows . I’ve never used something so simple with such a sluggish interface. It was also really bad for privacy. You have to opt out of “automatically share window titles with ever

Sure, the company I'm with is Xplornet. I'm not happy with them but they're the only option until Starlink. Bandwidth is around 2-5 mbps on a perfect day. Will frequently drop to 500kbps depending on the time of day, weather,

Do you need to? Both VSCode and IntelliJ have remote coding capabilities.

As someone in Canada without access to high speed internet, I can assure you that the 2% will not be only extremely rural/northern houses. I'm less than 5 minutes to a city with fibre, yet my geography makes it impossible to get a

FWIW I had an extremely bad experience using the ESP-IDF with my team. We wasted a lot of time trying to get everything to properly build and link due to the convoluted way Espressif has set up the CMake dependencies. Lots of hard coded pat

Interesting that a browser designed to block analytics has built in analytics. Is this enabled by default?

Maybe Tesla should link these features to a user's account, not the vehicle. If I sell my iPhone, I'm not selling the apps that I have installed on it. A side effect of this approach is that you could get a new Tesla and log in to

Segger makes high quality stuff, but they’re expensive and their business model is “anti-modern”. The cost to use emCompress is $2500 USD. Also, they specify that SMASH gets a worse compression ratio than LZMA but is an “order of magnitude

I did this several years back in university. Bitcoin mining wasn’t really profitable on my GPU, BUT it made enough to pay for its own electricity. I considered crypto to be a wash, but the real profit came from free heat.

The decibel scale is confusing. An increase of 1 Bel (10 dB) is: 1. 2x as loud 2. 10x as powerful (from sound pressure level)

As a product owner, why wouldn't I want to piggyback on the millions of dollars of R&D + security that the big companies have put in? And as a user, why would I trust my password to the website that rolled their own authentication

Yes, I learned a lot about inverse kinematics when I was upgrading my 3d printer to be used as a 2d plotter (simply printing a pen holder and figuring out how to create the GCODE). Drawing a circle with X/Y stepper motors is more invol

I found an interesting service provided by HP called "Instant Ink" [0]. You pay a subscription and get a fixed number of pages per month. Once the printer is low on ink, they'll automatically send you a new cartridge. What ma

Don't forget anonymous payments. Lots of vendors selling legally questionable (or illegal) things only take cryptocurrencies. I see that as a huge boon for these industries, who would otherwise have to figure out credit card processing

Universe Sandbox 2 in VR is absolutely jaw dropping. You can stick your head into the event horizon.

That was my exact thought too. I'm an owner of both an Echo, and a few Echo Dots. The Dots aren't great for music, but the Echo is actually really decent. The name is a big mistake (they should call it just "HomePod", an

I’m not sure what policies are in other countries, but Canada’s providers offer financing for all phones on 2 year contracts. You are forced into a high cost plan (it’s not uncommon for a flagship phone to require a $90+ plan), and on top o

Your costs would be much higher with Type 1: somewhere between 10-30mL (3-10x 3mL pens) is more typical. This is actually addressed in the article though: > The study used manufacturer prices for the analysis. The final, net prices paid

That’s bizarre. I pay $10/month and get unlimited Google Drive. If that’s profitable then surely 1TB must be quite cheap for them.

Wow, this is only 3mb. What did you write it in? I was under the impression there was more than 3mb of overhead even with an empty app.

I agree. The only processors that seem to support it are designed for servers (eg Xeon). Other processors say they're compatible but don't actually use the ECC part of the memory. I built a ML workstation for my work team and was

Video hosting is actually a lot harder than it seems. - For starters, you need the server space to host it. Videos can be large -- a 10 minute 4k video can be nearly 5gb in size. - Then you need to the CPU to transcode it to various formats
