By bucking the trend and good PR really. Framework is interesting, but in reality reminds me of when Thinkpads were still tank-like workhorses that were quasi self-servicable over decade a ago. For the most part, you could swap components o

> Credit card transactions take far less, and they deal in legitimate risk (chargebacks, stolen cards, fraud, etc). Actually the merchant takes practically ALL the risk and the credit company has relatively little. If a stolen card is us

No, BYTE, Dr. Dobbs and the like are relics of a bygone era. Anything that worked was exciting and worth documenting, extrapolating and speculating on. :) Now it's all click driven from what I can tell. :(

Most of the Hallmark Christmas movies are filmed around Langley and Fort Langley. All of them maybe. :) LTT is probably only 20 minutes away, not that there's any association.

No, it's more "roll your own" but has worked well.

Linus learned all of this over the years, and optimized it over time. He's great at it now, but was pretty rough at first -- but he was never an actor, he was a geek that loved technology. He worked for a large computer reseller that g

Not only that, but Amazon has the discipline for a very long-term execution. To this day, many of the vertical categories on Amazon are very low margin or make little fiscal sense. But long-term they will probably win or make a big dent in

And almost every company on that list will use the same factories, supply chain, and probably labor. There are not that many ODM manufacturers that have enough scale and capability to build high precision electronics. That would be companie

The point of any kind of messaging is to broadcast intent and is always at least a little aspirational. That's the first step. I'd honestly be far more wary about companies who doesn't broadcast anything, just to make whateve

This happened with Canada Post last holiday. Over 1000 container overflow in one sorting center in a major Quebec city alone. They really didn't catch up for 6-8 weeks after the holidays. This was PRE COVID as well.

This. Logistics at scale is like spinning plates. One falls so does the rest, and when you're dealing with hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of packages (which is still a fraction of Amazon's scale) you're not filling

Same battery life here. :( Love the actual machine but the battery life is a disappointment. Just got a 16MB 500GB M1 Air and so far everything is at least as snappy as the 16" Pro, and battery looks like a full 8 hour day + so far...

Yeah most inkjet printers still suck. The Epson mid range to high end tend to be decent to great. The photo printers also have archival grade inks, some of which are rated for 80 years. I wouldn't buy a general consumer inkjet though.

And the problem there is? Any one of those companies are all long term TSMC customers and I have no doubt have solid working relationships with them. They would have had similar opportunity to book that fab capacity too.

Yes, but Qualcomm, Nvidia, AMD and countless others use the same fabs or at least have access to the same fabs. It's Apple's engineering and design.

In hindsight, Windows 8 wasn't that bad overall. The real disaster was the Metro UI, but the underlying OS was relatively unobtrusive and a bit more performant than Win7. Once something like Classic Shell was installed, it was pretty s
