The old adage is true - nothing upsets an Android user more that talking about Apple processors.

If this score is real (or even close) they’re going to have a meltdown.

People are missing another obvious possibility: what Apple calls Ultra Fusion or a silicon interposer that allows two M1 Max chip dies to be connected together to make the M1 Ultra.

Gurman simply took the 38 cores of the M2 Max and doubled it as he thinks the Mac Pro will be using an M2 Ultra.

Apple has a very high bandwidth interconnect to pair two M1 Max chips. But who says that this interface can only pair two identical chips? Apple could make a companion chip that was simply made up entirely of GPU cores. So you could have an M2 Ultra with 12 CPU cores, the NPU and encoders/decoders from the M2 Max and have an M2 GPU with a whopping 128 (or more) cores.

Or if Apple went with a 4 die chip (the rumored Extreme version) then 2 x M2 Max along with 2 x M2 GPU and you’d have 24 CPU cores and upwards of 300 GPU cores.

I don’t know why people assume Apple can only connect two identical chips when they make an Ultra version. 

Amazing how entitled the EU thinks they are where they can pass a law for themselves, but feel they should be allowed to take 20% of a companies global revenues for any infraction that only exists within their market.

I’ve done numerous unintended acceleration investigations for Transport Canada. The airbag computer will record throttle and brake positions if an airbag or pretensioner was fired (I couldn’t see any obvious signs an airbag deployed in the pictures).

Some things investigators will do:

- Measure distances between pedals. Some vehicles have closely spaced pedals and are more likely to contribute to someone getting a foot stuck or hitting the wrong pedal,
- What size feet the driver has and what footwear they were wearing at the time. Large work boots are more likely to get caught in pedals than sneakers.
- Are there any floor mats or carpets installed that may have contributed to the accident.
- Are there any modifications to the vehicle that could have contributed to this accident.
- Were they pressing on the brake and throttle at the same time?

It’s hard to say at this point what really happened, but there are lots of things investigators can look into besides the obvious things like witness accounts or security footage.

What I’ve been calling for years is a dual-boot iPad Pro.

When docked to the proper keyboard/trackpad it behaves exactly like a MacBook Air. When used on its own it runs iPadOS. If you’re on iPadOS and dock to a keyboard, it prompts you if you want to continue using iPadOS or if you want to switch to macOS.

I don’t want or need a touch enabled version of macOS.
