Don't get me wrong it's an amazing chip, but the Intels were never given a proper chance on the previous machines especially the MBA. If my previous gen machine wasn't a toaster I wouldn't be upgrading

I don't think it was Intels fault that they decided not to run a heat pipe to the fan on the previous gen MBA

It was a masterclass in duping really. Step 1. Design the enclosure/thermals for a much lower TDP ARM chip, causing the Intel chips to thermal throttle and run hot as possible burning your lap and roasting your palms for years Step 2.

Adding to this, you'd be surprised how well resistance power bands work. You can pick up an off brand set from Amazon which is very affordable and can be used to hit every muscle group, it's like having an entire gym in a small ba

I love that he does the thermal performance, a 5 C drop on idle temperature is exactly what I was hoping for. The previous gen intels were toasters.

As someone who lives in a hot climate the only metric I care about is my Macbook not being a hand heater. I miss the old Macbook Air and how nice the cool aluminium surface was under my palms. Every Macbook i've had since then has been

So what if we could profitably do carbon recapture for $100/ton which was funded by a $100/ton carbon tax and start an entire industry that reverses carbon in the atmosphere, would you still be against consumption then?

Yes because 'leading by example' worked so well for Democracy in China and Hong Kong

Yep. Aside from the relentless onslaught of popups pushing you to a business plan have you ever noticed while using dropbox.com the UI is designed so that the "download" button is completely hidden from the user. Theres some incre

No not an Amazon employee, but about 20 years ago I worked in a Warehouse and the guys were absolute deadbeat drug addicts who stole and spent the whole time smoking cigarettes and goofing off. Now of course i'm sure most warehouse wor

I wonder if those parading their virtuosity in here could come up with a better system. I'd love to see some of the negative commenters made staff manager of just one busy warehouse for a few months and made responsible for a 500 low s

This still doesn't solve the fact that Apple can control who gets to do business on the app store. Politically divisive apps, government blacklisted apps, gambling apps, adult oriented apps, crypto apps, free speech apps, certain vpn a

My condo building has these fancy new Technogym "MyRun" cardio machines which are basically regular workout machines with giant iPads on them. So now instead of turning them on and starting a workout I must wait 3 1/2 minutes

Perhaps instead of going after the author you could go after his ideas? It seems like quite a well written essay imo

Surprised at the push back in here. Telling people they should consider getting a trade skill rather than a 4 year college degree that is semi-useless isn't that controversial on HN typically. Could it be because it's coming from

The premise of the article is that they pay attention to Twitter as a source for stories. Not to 'build a personal brand'

I wasn't aware that our government was currently being run by white supremacists. Do you have a source?

Anything but sideloading

Wow what a nothingburger this is, and the press took it hook line and sinker. Amazing PR

This. Often you'll find this low quality SEO content is just a result of people hiring low-cost copywriters often from developing countries, the 'uncanny valley' of written content

So could you tell us how an iPhone is not a smartphone?
173.
by pentae 6y ago
Smartphones are now pretty essential. You can't even enter stores in my country without scanning a QR code for COVID tracking

And if side loading was possible, what makes you think that your App Store experience would suffer?
175.
by pentae 6y ago
Walmart is one of thousands of stores where you can purchase goods. XBox/Playstations are a niche recreational device for gaming, not an essential device used by everyone to procure goods and services and conduct business.

Do you think your desire for convenience should outweigh the benefits to users/devs who want freedom of choice?

by pentae 6y ago
What you really want is the ability to sideload apps without the App Store. Then you'd get your alternative browser rendering engine as well as tons of other useful apps that will never be available. Apple can do their best to make it

So if we could develop a global carbon tax which 100% of the funds goes into atmospheric carbon capture and over a 10 year timeframe bring our Co2 levels back to 1900 levels what then? Still too late?

Indeed, I'm sure middle class China/India will save us.

Looked at the other way, who would buy a faulty cable that doesn't meet this self-test specification? That would be a feature imo. Cable makers will need to all start meeting the specification very quickly or nobody will buy their cab
