you can easily get under $1000 if you stick to base specs and get a Rift S.

Look at the inside of this thing. nearly every millimeter is used. Switching to replaceable forms of memory/storage would take up significant space, either requiring a larger laptop, a smaller battery, or lower thermal capacity.

They were likely actually referring to MLC vs TLC vs QLC. All three types can be manufactured in the stacked "3D" form. MLC stores 2 bits per cell, TLC store 3, and QLC stores 4. MLC is the fastest and most reliable form, while QL

While you were aware of the context, many others reading your quote (like me) were not. I definitely appreciated having more of the full story.

While sacrificing something else. Battery, speakers, thermal management, or aesthetics would have to traded off for USB A to be included. Not worth it for an outdated port whose function can be duplicated by an inexpensive adapter.

The USB A port is very large compared to USB C. Especially in terms of volume.

maybe they should be complaining to the peripheral manufacturers rather than Apple. USB C is better and a major player going all in is the only way to get the industry to switch.

The current HN already adapts well to mobile. Though, I suppose some may prefer the more modern aesthetic presented here.

it's considered bad form to discuss votes. the link itself would have been enough

The Microsoft equation editor also allows you to mix LaTeX and their own syntax, which is nice, since LaTeX is fairly verbose at times.

Latency is apparently lower with Apple's implementation.

which doesn't matter if you already have an iPad.

The CPU/GPU architecture is still done by ARM for those.

It looks like the point of this product is that it flys itself.

Does an MVNO like Fi have that kind of control though?

From the article, it seemed the issue was more just bad design. As the author demonstrated, adequate cooling could be achieved within the existing space constraints.

Lots of newer devices compensate for that. The HomePod and QC35 for example.

That honestly does not sound like a lot of money for a company anywhere near Apple's scale.

The sooner the better. We need a democratic counterpoint to China's totalitarianism.

The Nano's GPU is half of what is available in the Nintendo Switch. Based on some benchmarks I've seen, the one in the Pi 4 should be between 2 and 3 times slower.

they're still the best in the mobile review space. though that may say more about typical mobile phone reviews than AnandTech.

Andrei Frumusanu is also great in the mobile space. The only tech reviewer to run SPEC on phones. Great overviews on the arch of new cores too.

AnandTech is different. They cover μarch, and their writers clearly understand what they're talking about.
