Surprised they aren’t beating the “performance per watt” drum they normally would be on Mx releases. I’m assuming this will be a bit of a snoozer until the M5X/M5 Ultra or an M6 hits the pipeline. If anything, these refreshes let them

All of the magic of the 1-900 numbers of the 80s and 90s with zero of the regulation. What could possibly go wrong? btw, https://www.santasmagicaltelephone.com/privacy goes to a 404. Amusing.

Can we crowdfund someone going to the Microsoft campuses, heckling every employee nonstop on the grounds, and when security comes up, just tell them "maybe later"?

I wonder how many variants of the PS6 they'll go through before they get a NIC that works right. As someone working at an ISP, I am frustrated with how bad Sony has mangled the networking stack on these consoles. I thought BSD was su

All of this is just adding the capabilities needed to lock down the future Android-powered “Chromebooks” and just give you a walled Linux shell garden and say it’s “just as good” as running the real thing on the metal itself.
