I can’t see them ever announcing that in a keynote. I don’t think it’s a feature that most users are asking for or would make them want to switch to the platform. I’m not denying it’s good for users, just that I don’t think it would be good

Right. I believe the idea is to virtualize macOS inside macOS. I think some developers use that to test on older OS releases.

Switch is at 125 and isn’t slowing.

They don’t appear to have said anything other than it’s coming and better than the Meta Quest 2 (duh). I hate the trend of pre-announcements too. It’s one of the things I like about Apple (though the rumor mill does it for them). Even worse

Pre-announcing something? Days before an expected Apple announcement in the same market? Someone is getting nervous.

It doesn’t surprise me they’ve got VCs. I was referring more to the model of Uber and some others of just pour hundreds of millions into a hole for a decade until you’re all that’s left and then profit will magically appear.

We went all remote during the pandemic, now different people use all three options. If you’re remote it works well enough. If you have an office when you’re in the building it works well enough. If you have to use the cubes it’s a disaster

Reading about that and the JS runtime just handing out a view into a shared mutable buffer just floored me. That’s so clear dangerous from both a bug and security perspective.

I remember watching that. It was so refreshing to see a “this will change everything” video about a company or idea that isn’t heavily hypothetical. I expect something about drone delivery “in the future” like some of Amazon’s promos from y

While I understand that, how do you square that with one category of business causing way more chargebacks than average? Do they just have to eat it? Or can they charge higher fees to those merchants? If the latter they could quickly use

Tesla is the 800 pound gorilla by default. Normal car brands haven’t cared much, the Leaf and the Volt were not well know. It’s only in the last two years that a lot of EVs, especially in popular styles, have appeared on the market. and whi

Plus most people will charge at home (if at all possible) so you can’t even rely on the superchargers as a big ongoing revenue stream. It’s not like if GM had GM only gas stations their cars had to go to. It’s perfectly possible for a Tesla

Plug and charge is even better. Pull up, plug in my car, it charges. Easier than a gas station. It’s a standard, but not used enough. When I plug into EA it just bills my Ford account which bills me. Very similar to Tesla. No hassle. EVgo r

CCS 1 and 2 don’t exist anywhere in the same area, right? I know we have 1 in the US and Europe users 2. I assume it’s based on if electricity is 120v or 240v at normal wall outlets, but that’s a total guess. So I’m not sure if CCS having t

by MBCook 3y ago
As a Ford EV owner I’m conflicted about this. I don’t like that this is reopening the “charger wars” when CCS seemed settled on (by all non-Tesla brands), even if it’s kind of cumbersome. also having less cars at CCS chargers means less inc

I’d imagine it works a fair bit like plug and charge. The adapter (directly or indirectly) reports the car serial number and then Tesla would just say “No”. It’s also possible that the adapter doesn’t do much besides the physical, and a sof

Very well written, and quite interesting. The one thing I was hoping to see but didn’t: how long has this been broken? Has it been broken since coalescing was added? Or was it a regression introduced by some other patch 2 years ago, or what

by MBCook 3y ago
The Mustang Mach E is somewhat similar, if I remember correctly. When slowing down with regenerative breaking it triggers the lights based on how fast it’s slowing down. So if it’s just a tiny bit (slowing from 35 to 30 over a few seconds)

Unfortunately The Verge says it’s LCD. Despite all the advantages, LCD is much cheaper. I wonder if it will have VRR or 120hz though. Can’t wait to see Digital Foundry play with one.

That’s exactly what it is. And you know what? That was the best part of the Wii U! You could play games while watching TV. Or while someone else watched TV. With any luck you can play this in another room! I’ve wanted this for years. One wi

So… the same connector as Thunderbolt, and it can deliver video like Thunderbolt. And in both cases it’s running DisplayPort over the connector. So there were two different ways to run DP over a cable with a USB-C connector. Sounds like it’

But it’s so much better now. Everyone is on zoom meetings in their cubes all day so you get to half attend meetings all day long that have nothing to do with you when you’re trying to concentrate.

Some companies they’ve been beholden to that made their lives worse: Microsoft, Adobe, Motorola, IBM, Intel, nVidia, Qualcomm, Samsung, Metroworks, Oracle, and ATI/AMD. They’ve done everything they can to either kick those to the curb

They don’t like being beholden to anyone . It’s why they their own chips. Their own chipsets. Their own storage controllers. They’re working on their own radios. Their own fingerprint sensors. Their own facial recognition. Their LIDAR. The

Continuing to work with Samsung (or LG, etc) means as soon as Apple gets a cool new display tech, so does everyone else. Because they don’t control it. If Apple controls it all and they get it working, they can have an advantage until every

> A whitebox iOS could be downgraded enough[…] And that’s a huge part of the problem. Any move like that would tarnish iOS in everyone’s eyes. Apple wants you to buy a real iPhone, even if it’s the model from 2 years ago, instead. If BMW

I can’t speak to screen sizes. I’m still not sure what the deal was there. There was a reason for OLED. The first Android phones with OLED looked hideous. The saturation was all wrong and they used pentile subpixel arrangements. Further mor
