So what? Why should they continue to support some minor feature if it costs them a lot of resources and they think it's not worth it because it doesn't really fit their project? If you have a feature that is used by one customer o

Is macOS 11 a lot different than macOS 12? I'm using macOS 12 right now and there are a lot of 3D elements especially if you compare it to Windows 10 or Gnome in the screenshots of this post. It seems to be a mix of both approaches (si

Thank you. This is so true and annoying. Microsoft should treat their UI like their APIs and not break it with every major release. Changing a submenu is alright, changing how flat it is, is fine. But don't release a new settings app w

A good point the article made is that Intel now wants subsidies to finance their R&D. Which is basically the government subsidizing the stock buybacks. I think in a situation like that the subsidies should come in form of the government

How did Intel catch up? Their CPUs might deliver similar performance but they are way less efficient than AMD and Apple if we can count them as a third player. The next few years will tell if Intel's foundries can catch up with TSMC.

Great they avoided $1000 stand memes by offering a more reasonable $400 stand. To be more serious looks like a pretty good product that fits well into offices. I stopped working in IT in 2018 but back then SFF was all the rage and a powerfu

It would've looked really bad if they introduced an M2 half a year after releasing a M1 chip. They would've deprcated the chip that is being used in their existing products. I expect them to release an M2 chip earliest in the fall
