This requires some elaboration. I'd argue that iPadOS offers an excellent tablet experience because it was built with its unique set of properties in mind. It doesn't behave exactly like a phone and it doesn't behave exactly

This is better served by a laptop for the majority of people, though as someone that uses an unconventional keyboard anyway, a laptop is somewhat less compelling (since it occupies a lot of space with a keyboard that I actively avoid using)

This isn't the case in the US, either. How much influence do you think one person in the US, one of hundreds of millions of people, should normally have? Your power to influence policy is obviously going to dilute the further up the ch

You could try Yabai [1], but it's a bspwm clone not an i3 clone. Still not as zippy as the TWMs on linux, but a pretty decent experience overall. There's also Amethyst [2] which kind of replicates xmonad. In most ways they're

I think their point is there multiple ways that you can tackle the environmental impact of the devices you use and Apple is approaching that in multiple ways, just not in terms of easier repairability. That doesn't mean you can't

Feels like it exists for some sort of Enterprise customer that wants to use the old chassis for whatever reason, be it some sort of docking solutions, accessories, cases, whatever. It really doesn't make sense for almost any consumers.

Asahi doesn't have native sound support so you'd need an external DAC or audio interface to get audio from it... as well as no GPU acceleration. I'd say that the only people that could daily drive it are using it from a desk

The notch itself doesn't bother me but the way they deal with menu bar apps does. Disappearing them into the notch's void when you have enough to push them there is really really bad UX. The only app that I'm aware of that ac

While I think it's a natural evolution to the MPC line and MPCs now are probably the best standalone midi workstations to exist on the market right now (probably ever?), I still think that they lack the visceral feel of the prior gener

MPC One, MPC Live, MPC X are all basically just little underpowered computers, which I suppose you could say about any MPC but the workflow on the new ones is basically like most DAWs just with a fully mapped hardware midi controller attach

If you can open up your watch with a coin then obviously the design is affected by this being something you can do. Saying that it doesn't interfere with design, size, weight, or price is disingenuous. Of course it does. It might influ

Yeah, it just seems like a peculiar choice to turn a thunderbolt 4 port into a single type a port. I get that it's modular so you can just swap it out whenever you like, but then again, you can also just carry a dongle with you that ha

It's a clash of ideals, for sure. A commercial company avoids literal translations for obvious reasons; you want to ingratiate yourself with as large an audience as possible and using terminology that most people don't understand

Thanks for the clarification! It's good to know that it does support thunderbolt, that does assuage some of my concerns regarding the expansion cards, though it does still make me question why you have something like a single usb type

Edit: seems that the usb-c ports are in fact thunderbolt-capable, per the responses below, just not certified by Intel (yet). That makes the modules a little more interesting though I still think the current offerings for the cards is very

Yes, but they’re also not extensible as far as I know, which is the much bigger issue with them. If you don’t find yourself needing extensions that’s just fine but I rely on several to make my web browsing experience better or more useful.

I don't think that's true. While I do agree that it's a significant aspect now, Apple has almost always been controversial, at least among nerds. People were arguing about Apple products before their huge resurgence.
