Apple missed this market. Looking at where home entertainment was going they should have jumped on the sound bar bandwagon and produced a combination Apple TV + HomePod instead of an expensive not particularly smart speaker. It would probably have b…

Nobody ‘owns’ a HomePod, not really. We can ask it to play stuff for us, set timers, answer trivia. We can even ask it to play our playlists (well, of the family member who set it up) or use it as a remote speaker. But the other night as we were go…

We’ve only managed to chew through a few episodes & it’s painful. Apple has managed to suck the life out of the screen delight that was Rose Byrne & most of my joy too. What Ted Lasso giveth, Physical taketh away.

Modest brute force gains over the Pro Vega II but this Barefeats article shows even the non-X version holding its own against the consumer(?) cards; https://barefeats.com/pro-w6800-versus-other-gpus.html It’ll be interesting to see what Metal magic…

The longer they’re leaving it, the more the competition has stepped up. The buying public can’t see beyond marketing specs so genuine advantages are already mitigated. Single-core performance has been matched by Intel 11th gen i7/i9 so it’ll be inte…

Say the man who managed to make electricity proprietary.

So our options are to be taken into space by a brat with tantrum issues or a creep who likes to dip his pen in company ink.

What’s their marketing slogan? “Chunky Chips”? Like V8 engines of the 90s, half the performance & twice the power consumption of their twin-turbocharged European equivalents.
