I suspect you would quickly attract a lot of the wrong kind of “developers” the moment a financial reward appeared. Especially now that it’s so easy to use AI to make something that looks slightly plausible. Although I suspect the other sib

Keyboard that doesn’t require half the computer to be thrown away to replace it! That probably bit them HARD during the butterfly days.

When they did this to the low end iPhones, it “trickled up” to better models later. I suspect they’ll do that on laptops too. I hope they do.

Just like when they did this on the iPhones I suspect this is all self-serving. It’s about making it easier and faster for Apple to fix the machines. It benefits us all. But I suspect the cost of their super tight integration into large non

I agree I don’t think it’s going to be something people really do. I just thought it was neat. It’s a phone chip, we’ve never been able to do stuff like this on an Apple phone chip before. No one was porting this to the iPhone to run there.

It seems like they’re starting to learn the cost of being too integrated. They’ve slowly been moving towards making it easier to repair individual broken parts. I’m very happy to see that a new keyboard doesn’t require replacing the entir

I think you’ll be quite a bit happier. Between the quality of life stuff like the ancient life sensor, the pure quality stuff like a better screen and speakers, and extra RAM so it lasts longer that seems like a good decision. The Neo is ne

My work laptop is a common HP model from just a few years ago. The screen is seriously ‘meh’, a massive upgrade from the previous HP model’s “you paid how much for this?” Both have plastic cases that are fine but don’t feel tight/solid

I suspect the Neo’s A-series chip wipes the floor with a Pi. I’m really surprised just how competitive it was in their benchmark. I was expecting “sure it doesn’t compete but it works and you can use it”, not “it beat an Amazon instance, th

Well said. As a Java programmer who hasn’t touched Temporal yet in JS it is extremely similar to the new Java types like… ZonedDateTime. It’s not identical. The names of the “Plain” objects make a bit more sense to me than the “Local” nam

I didn’t even know they existed until this article mentioned them. I felt similar about the recent authorized sequel to Andromeda Strain. It didn’t feel like the same universe to me. More like someone was told the book flap description of t

Give the response this has had in the Mac community I really hope they’re smart enough to release a little playset. It would be great merch. I know that’s not really an Apple thing but make an exception. Tim Cook loves grubbing money.

You have to deal with pissed people all day who don’t listen at all. And if you make the tiniest mistake you could be the person who failed to stop the next 9/11. Doing the same three or four things screening people all day long has go

Have you noticed that in 25 years they have never managed to catch a single terrorist? Do you think they would’ve been quiet if they did? No way. Random citizens on planes have. At least once. We’ve had lots of stories about them missing we

I’ve been in a film photography sub on Reddit lately and the TSA comes up frequently. They can’t even follow their own rules on film, telling people it has to be scanned (it doesn’t), scanning is safe up 3800 ISO (that’s not a speed), etc.

It did. That was one of its big features. It also was the first version to remove the 8.3 limitation and give us long file names.

That’s generally what it seemed like to me too. Seemed to be human shaped so they could say it’s humanoid… and nothing else. Nothing in the video looked like it couldn’t be done by a more industrial robot shaped robot. And I bet that would

So really this appears to be a replacement for the M1 MacBook Air that they were still selling at Walmart. But now more colorful and official. I’m pretty interested in benchmarks. We haven’t had a phone chip and a desktop chip running the s
