This seems pretty normal to me, what’s the problem? If you live in a cold climate falling ice is something you have to deal with. 

So other stores in Chicago have similar signs? That’s interesting because I live in Minnesota and no retail stores I go to caution me to watch for falling snow or ice.

If you're ever in Chicago during the winter months, walk down Michigan Ave. These signs are everywhere. Long ago, someone got killed from falling ice from a skyscraper, so these started popping up and down the street. This is not news.

Without the size, this leak is worthless.  Did anyone think it was going to be a triangle or square?  My expectation and hope is that it will be surprisingly small--think fingernail size rather than half-dollar size.

The article itself, that you just commented on, clearly states it will be about the size of a bottle cap in diameter.

It’s not clear as to what these will be based on. There is plenty of time for them to be based on the A15 cores. Otherwise, they would be based on cores that would be almost two years old, if these come out in mid 2022, to fully two years old if they come out in late 2022.

merely adding cores isn’t helpful for many tasks, where increased core performance is better.

Man, if only Apple was aware of this and had people on staff that could handle this dilemma…

For a watch. Let that sink in… 

I paid much more than that for my Rolex Explorer II but I think Apple has jumped the shark here with $900. The TAG Connected wasn’t much more than this and TAG is a watch company but Apple knows there are people out there to buy it. 

Agreed, watch prices can be quite insane at the “high” end, let alone the truly luxury category. Your Rolex will probably still be working when/if you decide to pass it down to grandkids one day. $900 for a wrist computer that will be obsolete in a few years is an entirely different pill to swallow.

Meh. Who cares? If you’re wasting your life playing games, you have your priorities wrong.

Thank God we have people like you to tell us how we should best use our free time. 

Notice the screen name and the inordinate amount of posts (which is ironic, considering he's claiming other people are wasting their lives) and move on. No sense in engaging with the trolls.

T-Mobile’s Magenta Military is a no-brainer for anyone who qualifies for it. We have 3 lines of Magenta Plus-equivalent perks for $90, taxes and fees included. And any line we add after that is $10 each.

I have no desire to go back to the bad old days of having to call support just to change phones.  eSIM is stupid.

(I remember when US Cellular used to charge $25 every time you got a new phone, for the 'service' of typing in a new MEID.)

Fully agree. I just had to go through the nightmare or switching my eSIM around from my 13 Pro Max to a backup phone during repair, and then back to the new Pro Max. What used to be a 5 second process of swapping over a SIM card turned into 2 hours of chat and phone support with T-Mobile EACH TIME that I eventually just spent the $10 for a physical SIM card and transferred my number to that. They claim it’s easy, and have a tab on my account page to change the sim, but the link only ever goes to a support page with a number, never actually letting me do anything. What a nightmare.

It’s crazy if they’re actually calling them “accidents” as opposed to “crashes” or “collisions”. Almost all collisions are due to someone’s fault, and could have been prevented. 

What kind of mental gymnastics nonsense is this? What about the word accident make what you said invalid? If someone gets in a “collision”, as you insist it is called, it is almost certainly an accident. It may have been their fault, but that doesn’t mean someone was TRYING to hit another car or guard rail or whatever. The word accident doesn’t imply no one was at fault, it means that something that wasn’t intended to happen, happened. Get off your high horse and stop arguing over extremely idiotic semantics.

That seems odd. While the argument that a compatible PD profile is needed, Apple themselves state in writing that iPhone 12 is "Fast-charge capable: Up to 50% charge in around 30 minutes11 with 20W adapter or higher (sold separately)".

The 'or higher' would indicate the their 30W, 61W or 96W would be just as capable. Has AI reached out to AAPL for comment?

In Apple terms, Fast-charge and MagSafe are two completely different things. Fast-charge is using a USB-C to Lightning cable plugged directly into the phone using an Apple 20W adapter or any USB-C adapter that shipped with a MacBook. MagSafe, using the Apple-branded 20W USB-C adapter, will reach 15W, but this is slower than the maximum wattage when plugging a Lightning cable directly into the phone. It also generates more heat, which then kicks in the throttling, thus making the device not reach 15W charging at all times, only at peak, perfect temperature conditions.

Personally I’m more impressed with the silicon quantum chips IBM and Intel are developing.

And yet Apple is CURRENTLY FIELDING their chips, and aggressively iterating and improving upon them. By the time their mythical quantum computing chips actually function, I'd imagine Apple will have surpassed them, too.
