   I wonder what he would have said about the 20 minutes when you can't use the computer and the 1+ GB download it takes to update a state-of-the-art mac from macOS 13.5 to 13.5.1 that has one (1) bug fix ("macOS Ventura 13.5.1 fixes

   tl;dr: NameCheap is now NameExpensive. I'm a long-time customer of theirs and I was surprised at the price differences compared to the newer competitors.

    Or perhaps eventually the other way around: the primary reason they had to build the R1 was the required extreme power effiency in headset. Using 25-50 watts for this is okay in an EV.
