At least in Intel's case, I can see why the US government wouldn't want to get rid of them. For one, Intel is a defense asset and there will generally be apprehension of letting them slip under without the feds gutting what they w

Apple wishes ray tracing was AI acceleration, because then they could at least ride the Nvidia valuation pump. But the truth is even less glamorous than that - this is a feature for the future, something for posterity. It's a well-re

A recurring theme you'll encounter across most of Apple's products is that any feature that forces first-party Apple software to compete on fair terms with other products is conspicuously missing.

Apple can take my privacy seriously while also allowing me to fix my hardware. You are promoting a false dichotomy that could be used to excuse almost any form of irrational behavior.
