You get an update prompt on screen (and on your phone). The car asks you to schedule a time to install (normally 1 AM) or allows you to update immediately. When an update is triggered (manually or on a timer) you get a 2-minute countdown to

The batteries do not tend to spontaneously combust. In vehicles there is much greater danger of physical damage causing a fire, and even there the incidence rate is a fraction of ICE fires. In a proper housing in a commercial/residenti

Sounds like the Mac Pro processor would use 2x or 4x of the Jade C-Die, perhaps in a single package. This makes good economic sense because it may be challenging to justify a unique chip design for only a few thousand units / year.

The latest iPad Pro does use M1. It's more accurate to say that M1 made the jump from the A14 chips already in iPhones, as it's an enhanced variation of that design.

If anything I think the App Store has helped to drive the purchase price of software to $0. This in turn has driven every software vendor to either a subscription pricing model or a (privacy-invasive) ad model. Open question on if this is n

Because they’re not really “composite files”, they’re packages. It’s just a normal directory with a bit set to treat it as a file in context (also driven by file extension). “Show Package Contents” just opens a Finder window rooted within t

The M1 is a low tier consumer CPU, and the design choices are consistent with that positioning. In all likelihood this is the slowest M-series processor Apple will ever make. That it is competitive with some high-end processors is compell
