Venture Capital firms are early stage private investors. They don't do LBOs with dying companies, since that would naturally be a late stage investment. You're probably thinking of private equity.

Because way more than 50% of your friends have it in the US; if you're a teenager, 80%+ of your friends have an iPhone. It's the default messaging app, and it works well, and it's become somewhat of a status symbol.

There's no way to have accurate, completely relevant numbers - not even Apple can track that. But, with my anecdotal experience graduating from HS in the US having just caught the iPhone craze, here are some numbers that support that.

Quite often, actually. Well, in the US at least. "Green bubble" ickyness is a real thing among the US youth. School children get bullied until they ask their parents for an iPhone for that blue bubble. Dates will ghost you if you

The branding is arbitrary. If you want to read the tea leaves, it seems to indicate that Apple is going to incorporate more Mac-like elements into the iPad Pro, which from its inception has had some users struggling to make full use of it&#

Any news is good news. They gained a surge of users when they had that huge outage when COVID first hit. People overestimate the degree to which anyone cares about the controversy, and underestimate the degree to which it's free advert

I don't think it's reasonable to expect user replaceable batteries in airpods themselves - case, perhaps. That's one form factor where it's not only small, but every gram lighter matters.

Huh. I haven't had any issues with libraries that use CFFI. I've had issues with pip and building from source being incredibly fragile before (in general, not an M1 specific thing), so I'm not that surprised, but unfortunatel

(Not OP btw) While I'm not sure if it's building from source or pulling a binary, just pip3 install pandas seems to work just fine. Not a Rosetta terminal. Just ran a fresh install from a new poetry venv, seemed to work fine. This

Yep. Given that the fastest Windows ARM device is an M1 Macbook Pro running Windows in Parallels, there's currently no competition for local platforms and ARM. If Amazon and Nvidia's ARM server chips really pick up steam, then the

I've used the preview release, and my experience with ARM containers has been good - even seems a little more stable than the Intel one. But I only did a x86 Linux container as a test, and it wasn't a great experience. Seemed vi

Chrome dev tools are great. Or maybe I'm just use to them by this point. Chrome also just by far has the best compatibility throughout the web. Whenever I try going to another browser, I always keep a copy of Chrome just so that I can

What are you talking about. If anything, if you have such disdain for Beats, you should applaud Apple, since they killed the product. Apple acquihired Beats to build Apple Music with the industry connections, and since then, Dr. Dre left th

Rather than not knowing order of operations, it doesn't parse algebraic expressions, it just takes binary inputs for the common real operations. It doesn't operate on "1+2 3" as an input, it operates on "1", &q

I know this response happens every time a #BigTech company gets fined, but I feel like this is like even more ridiculously small? Forget Apple, most multinational companies could absorb a 2 million dollar fine without even needing to bring

You can still buy the Magsafe Macbook charger from Apple's website to this day . Like, Google it and it'll come up. A charger is completely different from a lithium-ion battery, which degrades over time.

If you really think so I would recommend looking at some benchmarks because that is not particularly close to reality. Although you should wait until the M1 variant of your laptop releases. It is a bad time to buy the non Apple Silicon macb

There's two parts to it. One, that macOS has a proscribed way for apps to compose command, ctrl, and option for shortcuts, whereas it's basically the Wild West on the other platforms. So it's just generally nice on macOS. The

Wow, I'll have to try that out. For reference, I really like how shortcuts work in MacOS. This won't solve the lack of a standard that developers try to adhere to on other platforms. But it's immensely annoying to have to s

Progress? Flagship phones have had IP68 water resistance for the past few years now. This is not like a surprising or novel feature of the iPhone.

I think that's mostly FUD. It's just one tool that's reporting those reads, and the reality is that with modern storage hardware, the numbers they report can be very misleading because of additional layers between the OS and

It definitely is. I'm daily driving a Macbook Air, something which I never thought I'd say. Even beyond the CPU crunching performance, I'm not sure what part of it is causing this, but it's just so much smoother for a va

That doesn't seem to have anything to do with the M1, though? It just seems you're uncomfortable with macos. A new processor isn't going to change that macs run macos, and if you don't like macos, then you're not go

They can stop selling GPUs to these OEMs or just deprioritize their contracts as a less extreme option.

I think it's a little unintuitive for no other reason than, to be honest, there aren't that many "Firefox" products beyond the browser now that send among others have been axed. Additionally, I feel like it would make mo

I'm not sure about Go, but Rust should work on everything LLVM can emit native code for. While ARM may not be listed as "tier 1", Rust worked on M1's on launch day because of LLVM portability.
