Gosh, you know what might really impact American phone companies? A big tariff on all phones not Made in America! 

Except bringing manufacturing to the US was never the goal - forcing the impacted companies to slide over an envelope was the goal. Enrich a PAC, sponsor an inauguration, hire a family member, buy some crypto, etc..

Teams is still not great on Windows. IMO, the M1-optimized beta is equivalent, if not superior, to the Windows experience. Microsoft made massive improvements in their Office 365 suite, with the online tools leading the way. Nevertheless, Teams is still a mediocre add-on.

My recommendation for a frustration-free Teams experience is to get an iPad. The iOS / iPadOS iteration is the most consistent version you will find.

Unfortunately, "she was a black woman" is the answer. Again

results of the "figure out how to monetize it later" era, which has just ended. Money is no longer free. You'll see a lot of these subsidized efforts drying up.

How are you so unorganized that you lose a remote?

Clearly, you don't have kids...

Or non-bean bag furniture

It's actually a big let down in terms of laptop design. Why are we bringing back HDMI when USB4 provides the same technology? 


People with jobs that involve presenting content in multiple locations love the HDMI. Not requiring an adapter for something so routine is absolutely the correct design.

They also put the exhaust ports on the bottom - is it possible that the bottom is actually the top?  Functionally, leaving it black-side up makes more sense, right?

I'm still appalled at the ads in Apple News. How many ways do I have to pay for this service?

Slow Horses has been fantastic. Make more like that!

Competitors give away the hardware to sell you something else or to sell you to someone else. Consumers are attracted to lower prices, no matter the reason (consequences? What are you talkin' about?). Apple is a hardware company and won't sell the HomePod at a price that fails to provide the required profit margins.  

In addition, Amazon gives Alexa to any company that wants to integrate it into a device. Google does the same. How many Alexa-capable devices are in your house but never used for Alexa? I have nine Sonos speakers, each with Alexa—are those counted as Alexa devices in these charts?
