I would be very surprised if that was the case; you'd see much more machines out there that omit the steaming wand entirely. While _I_ mostly drink espressos when making coffee for myself, I think overall I made more flat whites for my

Not the OP, but I probably go through a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic every 24-36 months. The wrist-rest also gets gross after a while. Mostly it's spills, but sometimes also a crumb or something stuck under a key and me breaking the swit

The _entire point_ of Unicode is to be _universal_, you're just suggesting we go back to pre-Unicode days and use different code-pages. This, for reasons stated in already posted responses, and to put it mildly, does not work in intern

Sure, whatever, I still dislike what it does to the sharpness and colors of the screen. It's not like Deck has a great DPI or brightness to begin with, but the matte coating makes it even worse. See the "text clarity" and col

I wish they just made it an option to choose — I hate the matte effect, but I want the model with most storage. If I used my Deck more than I actually do, I'd genuinely consider getting the 256GB model and upgrading the storage, just t

Nobody has time to slice the brezel and make it into a sandwich like this. Just dunk it in the jar of nutella or whatever, trying to butter and then apply jam or nutella or whatever to something with a shape this complicated is a loser&#x27

You're missing the fact that Apple uses the same building blocks for their chips across all of their devices. The M1/M2 are "just" a bunch of the same CPU cores found in A14 and A15. They do the same with the GPU blocks

That's not exactly true. There is a data protection class that is like what you're describing, but it is not used super-widely, the one most commonly used is exactly what is being described and makes data available after first unl

It's wonderfully ironic that a post about overcomplicating coffee ends up with a bunch of coffee nerds on HN arguing about equipment.

On the flipside, this means the thin logic board that connects to the pins is in the host device, not in the cable. Which means if you break it off, you need to replace the whole port, which might be difficult or expensive; instead of the (

I've worked for a startup where we begged the IT folks to just buy us an M1 Mac Mini to stuff in the closet somewhere, or at least sign us up for Mac Stadium or something, but it was borderline impossible to convince them to do that. T

I strongly suspect that this is not the full picture. I had this exact same issue, two displays, always connected to the same TB3 Dock, and they would randomly get re-assigned after wake-up. Which in my case was doubly irritating, since one

This is the most tinfoil hat way to misunderstand young people I've ever seen. People absolutely do that, just because they think it's fun.

This is true maybe for big, traditional German corporations like Siemens or VW; but have absolutely not the case for any of the start-ups or any of the big tech companies from US. And especially not true after 2020, when so many more compan

On the contrary, the OP has got it right (perhaps accidentally), and you're the one confusing things. You're correct that taxes, insurance, and pensions are different things, but in the context of "what amount of money arrive

A significant part of work on LLVM comes from Apple, which includes support for quirks of _their_ proprietary chips and platform; and the world is much better for those changes being upstreamed rather than living in a fork somewhere.

I don't think there'll be a Mini with a Max, for exactly the reason you mentioned, but going from Pro to Max gets you more RAM, more I/O, more GPU, and more displays controller, if any of those are things you care about.
