It would be a horrifically bad idea for Taiwan to export their latest process to America, matched only by Ukraine's idiotic idea of giving up their nukes in the 1990s. What incentive would the USA have to protect Taiwan if their tech was already in …

You're probably right. It's sad, because with MagSafe half the electricity gets used to increase the entropy of the universe which raises carbon emissions for no reason. It is slow, it makes the phones bigger and heavier, and hardly anyone uses it. …

As someone with over 100 Hue devices, I wouldn't recommend Hue to anyone who isn't an engineer. They're actually quite finicky. You end up having multiple hubs to deal with the 50 device limit. When a light burn out, there's no easy way to replace i…

Makes sense. It’s boring and slow moving. The only story line that’s any good is the emperors, and that’s the one that has the least to do with the book. Only the special effects are original.

I'm sure the next judge will be sympathetic to an accuser that claims judges are on the take.

Weird that Apple feels so easily threatened these days. My local Apple Store was right above a Microsoft store for years. Back then, that just served to visually demonstrate the huge difference in consumer attention between the two.

I doubt Tesla owners would object. They generally consider the company to be above criticism. I mean when Tesla took their money for "Full self-driving" in 2014 and still hasn't delivered it, their only reaction was that they wish they'd paid more! …

$100 for a charger with an ancient USB-A port? No thanks. For this kind of money is should be all USB-C. If you want to obsolete tech you don't have $100.

I watched an episode of the baseball and was impressed with how non-innovative it was. Exactly like watching baseball anywhere else. Yawn.

I would never buy a car that doesn't have CarPlay. Being beholden to an OEM to provide software updates to keep key functionality going, such as navigation, is just plain stupid. Especially when the guy you're counting on, Elon Musk, is just one mar…
