Do you believe Paul Krugman's intelligence and impact on the world to be equivalent to a 5th grader? Do you want to try to make an argument that support's Mr. Krugman's point of view, or did it just upset you that I brought u

I saw it first on using a device 2 years older than your M1, so you might be in a similar boat soon - but I hope not. The lower power and heat of M-devices might result in meaningfully longer battery life, and I'm curious to find out.

I wonder how many days the App Store would have had to not work in Texas for this to get reversed? Shame on Apple. Again.

Verizon owns most of the value brands in the US and you made no connection between them and Comcast beyond mentioning them in the same sentence. AT&T is "about as bad" as what? You gave no information.

I felt the same way about the battery in my 2018 MacBook ... it was losing capacity, but I didn't mind as it still ran for hours between charged. Then it started having issues waking up from sleep. Only the OG Apple charger could wake

So, maybe don't do business with the worst of them? Of the big 3 in the US, T-Mobile is the one I'd avoid right now.

Having performance available when you need it is the alternative to waiting. Even a simplistic 2D game loads data, runs routines, and while the person is doing that they expect the phone to stay connected to a network, keep up with notifica

Life's most precious resource is time. A newer device is often much faster at a person's current routines. Why would you want a fast device to do harder things? Fast alone is worth it.

The debanking dispute really doesn't have anything to do with AI, does it? AI seems to be on everyone's mind to fill in the MadLibs of who to blame for what, but I don't see the point in conflating the two here.
