My bad, I meant WhatsApp.

That's hardly a correct comparison. Alcohol is far more readily available and accepted than heroin.

Do you take action based on the labels? I've thought about it, but half the things I own have them, and in some cases it's illegal to make non-california-cancerous alternatives (fire-retardant furniture).

Every acquired company always says that, practically verbatim. It's meaningless, the CEO doesn't have a say anymore. Salesforce's designs are the relevant direction now, and they're not telling. Facebook (Telegram, Oculu

That's a big indication Salesforce will get rid of Slack HR.

Optane has been commercially available for five years already and it's not used in any device I'm aware of. Assuming it will find broad adoption at this point seems like a bad bet.

The XPS webcam is also very bad, and the webcam on HP's MacBook competitor (Spectre) is the worst webcam I've ever seen. I've yet to find an ultrabook with a good camera.

I should have phrased that differently; my understanding is that the problem isn't whether renewable energy is relatively affordable, it's whether it beats natural gas plants, and that so far the generation part does but the stora

The biggest thing it has going for it is constant power without fossil fuels. The grid needs backing power. I've seen a lot of other efforts at this, but (correct me if I'm wrong) there are still none that work, scale, and are aff

You know that we can measure and control for radiation in experiments, right? And that radiation levels are not constant across the planet?

I'd bet money Apple and Nvidia remain incompatible for the foreseeable future.

There are no similar manufacturing processes, Apple has paid for time-limited exclusivity on 5nm.

It's not faster than the M1, is it?

The 10600k is $100 more expensive and they're putting that money into the gpu instead. That makes sense to me.

Normally I prefer nudges to bans, but I'm not sure they work on giant monopolies. Unless the tax were high enough to have no chance of passing, Apple would dodge it or write it off as cheaper than being consumer-friendly.

I don't believe those reasons are more important than open access and reducing the environmental impact of planned obsolescence, outside of the kind of government agencies that are exempt from consumer electronics regulations anyway.

In practice, such a law could resemble right-to-repair bills like the one recently passed in Massachusetts, which requires auto manufacturers to give independent repair stores access to all the tools they themselves use. A bill like this fo

Serialized components should be illegal, frankly.

No, but Intel 10nm (still!) isn't stable enough for desktop cpus, much less the massive gpu dies Samsung is making, so personally I don't count it.

As of recently, Samsung has the closest capabilities to TSMC and Intel has fallen to third.

Economics isn't a science in the same way as climate science. I don't think you can label anything in the field a "scientific" consensus. Popular consensus maybe.

It won’t solve the problem without more change in power generation, but it will help. Even coal power plants are more efficient than small internal combustion engines. Gas power plants are vastly more efficient (double or more) and of cours

I'll concede the Xbox One wasn't Ballmer's fault, but he still gets a fair share of the blame for WP. It was (or should have been) Microsoft's most important new initiative for years, Ballmer could clearly see that it wa
