  • Qualcomm says its Apple Silicon rival chips will be in PCs by late 2023

    Nuvia sounds like an artificial sweetener. 
    Or a birth control ring

  • Compared: Apple Studio Display versus Porsche Design AOC Agon Pro monitor

    Nope, not for that amount of money. 
    Because you never used professional monitors for graphics and publishing. They are several times more expensive than cheap monitors even for gaming. I recall some argument with pretty ignorant businessman who claimed his wife uses less expensive and she is "graphic designer". probably hobby designer and not professional studio designer who spent thousands of hours on content for serious clients.
    And you have? SD has better P3 coverage than the AOC monitor, as well as a substantially higher pixel density. I know which monitor I would pick if I were doing serious design work. If I needed more space, I’d get 2.

  • Apple burns early iPad Pro adopters, loyal customers with Magic Keyboard incompatibility

    As a designer you have to make the call.

    Do I hobble my new product to maintain compatibility with an accessory (an expensive one) designed for the last version of the product, or do I design the new product with as few compromises as possible?

     Option 3. Make the new one larger for no technical reason, just to intentionally obsolete current accessories.
    The new iPad is thicker because of the mini-LED display.

    Good Lord.   Texas tried to have the election overturned in other states because those states violated the Constitution when they made changes to their laws with respect to the election.  They didn’t go through the legislature, which ended up disenfranchising voters in Texas and OTHER states.  The Court not hearing it doesn’t mean it had no merit.  

    The way it is now, a company has to have a presence inside a given district to file in the district. That’s why the Western District is so active now. It used to be the Eastern District. It has nothing to do with the elected officials.  

    Why would Texas winterize a power grid when they almost never gets such weather? The insulated nature of the system is not the issue.  The failure of renewables is. They require more of a traditionally generated base load because they are inconsistent.  The push for renewables caused it.  Not natural gas or coal.  

    Texas’s “Trumpian riff raff” has done a great job.  That’s why people are flocking from disaster blue states like CA and NY. Texas is a growing state with a much better business environment.  So is Florida.  Gee, I wonder what they have in common?  
    Good Lord, this tired disinformation again? Please, sit down before you embarrass yourself.

    Texas' economy is heavily dependent upon oil, and Florida's upon tourism. The economic impact, and the recovery, has been bifurcated and has disproportionately impacted people on the lower end of the economic spectrum and those in industries hardest hit. Census survey data indicated a three-fold increase in people experiencing food insecurity as a result of the pandemic. So yeah, it hasn't impacted my relatively recession-proof white collar household much, but I can't say the same for numerous people I know. Is Texas doing so well when THOUSANDS of people turn out for food distribution? 

    Texas should winterize their GD power grid because this is now the second time in 10 years that cold weather has caused large-scale power outages. Texas, in their Wild West wisdom, ignored the recommendations that came out of their post mortem on the 2011 freeze and blackouts. I guess that's what you get when you elect an attorney general who's been under indictment his entire term.
