It would be nice if it were a USB-C power brick + magsafe like attachment. That could also be a lot more discrete by shifting the hardware to the brick itself. Granted that limits you to fewer laptops.

I agree but coming from the perspective that the M1 Air is absolutely crazy value if you aren't constantly doing intensive tasks and if you don't mind paying less to have dongles.

Outside of the privacy debate on this, I cannot overstate how dumb it was of Apple to announce this and sexual image ML in the same press release. It's resulting in an errant and vastly exagerated understanding of it by members of the

Yes, which is acceptable, but then if the extension you want is not in the curated sections you have to search for it as a general Mac App, AFAIK there is no "Safari Extension" filter. This led me to accidentally install the LastP

I just got an M1 Mac after years on Ubuntu, and decided to give Safari a go. I literally could not figure out how to search for an extension (the extension menu's search box searches the app store). I'm probably missing something

This was a while ago, but I got a counterfeit fitness band (it told me to download a random APK from a 3rd party website) from Amazon, and they repeatedly told me to resolve it directly with the seller who, surprise surprise, were not inter

There's already a shift to customer experience oriented gas stations on road trip routes. I would happily spend a half hour at a Sheetz, Buckees, Wawa, etc. I'd prefer a proper restaurant but there's room for both.

Someone minted 1 million Neeraj Agrawal (cryptocurrency advocate* who's big on Twitter) NFTs, sent him 999,999 without his consent, and kept the other to sell. Which leads to the interesting question, should Neeraj report the 999,999 a

Please don't be ashamed of your ethnicity/race/geography. You are an individual and ought to be treated by yourself and others as such. All groups have their cultural and historical baggage. I say this as someone who had quit

My buddy worked IT infrastructure at a major public university and would work 3 days a week but spread out his deployments for the write-ups that were used to evaluate his performance. The pay wasn't great so he left, but it was a grea

I must be vague, but my friend works at a fast food chain's corporate office and said that their strategy team was the one pushing for alternative meats for supply chain alternatives more than dietary preferences.

I could have definitely phrased the title better. The point being that they are out of limited Beta and rolling our first come first serve by region.

Thanks! It was new to me and I didn't see any posts at a glance. Guess I'll leave it because there's momentum.

Why would you adjust for usd money supply? The only reason my (uninformed) self sees is that it’s arbitrary but fits a fiscal Hawk narrative. Fwiw I’m worried about inflation, but this seems uninteresting.

Agreed about small devs, but other small devs also have to make countless decisions about which platforms/products to use for their app/platform/website. At the very least, Google should be worried that a good tie-breaker is

Isn't most of M1's performance success due to being a SoC / increasing component locality/bandwidth? I think ARM vs x86 performance on its own isn't a disadvantage. Instead the disadvantages are a bigger competitive

Major tangent, but a product that I can't believe doesn't seem to exist is window fans (not AC units) with passive shutters to prevent air leakage when not in use. I've actually built an exhaust fan in our rental house that s

Honestly, the product page is the appropriate place for a review of this nature. You are informing other consumers to discount the weight of the reviews to a greater extent than they might otherwise. I've been burned by this previous

I love Google sheets but I also work with large enough data sets that it regularly freezes up which is always associated with a frustrating “lost connection” message. I’ve been shifting more and more to Excel because of this. It’s pretty fu

Hopefully this is a small enough partnership/stake to not torpedo the Samsung Smartthings / ADT partnership. I'm not a user of the latter, but appreciate the growing ecosystem.

They aren't durable in my experience though. Although most apple cords have issues with the connection "neck" (not sure of the actual nomenclature).

Market cap is set by marginal prices, so supply of uninvested capital isn't super relevant and might even increase volatility due to lower liquidity.

Massdrop (drop.com) had a similar model, but they seem to be in the process of becoming a more traditional retailer.
