There is no way most users are going to notice an SSD speed of 3GB vs 5GB. Anything one copies from external media is not going to approach those speeds. I routinely import 50-100GB from microSD cards (captured drone video). I have an M1 Pro 14",…

If thieves knew there was a good chance of that, you’d see less thieves.

Great, let’s give Google more power to surveil. Fantastic.

This article is somewhat off-base in my view. I'm a classically-trained musician, FYI. The reason I say "off base" is that while it's true you can't listen to "lossless" format audio over AirPods, there is almost no one who can hear the differen…

$300 for a charger? Let's just stop there. No.

I’ve had YouTube TV for a couple of years. I saw this price increase come up yesterday, and I have to say it’s going to cause me to seriously reconsider my subscription. I don’t think I’m alone and I think Google is probably going to regret going …

They might be more expensive, but I have very serious doubts that Apple will raise the price anything close to 80%. Just the PR alone (even on some kind of "ultra" model) would be really bad. In fact, the conclusion about such a price increase doe…

I'm sure Apple will get right on paying that. Or they'll spend .5% of that on the best lawyers in the world. I'd rather see Apple tell the EU to pound sand. I'm not saying pull out of Europe. I'm saying they simply refuse to pay or defend the cas…

Damn, I was hoping for another WWIII over some controversial emoji. Maybe one that signifies an alien-human hybrid or a pregnant turducken. Edit: Upon further reflection, the latter would be unnecessary as all turduckens could be considered preg…

I'm kind of undecided on this. On one hand, it's a fast, swappable and durable option that is pretty reasonably priced. On the other hand, it seems to me you are paying for speed. Many prosumers don't need even 1GB/s. It depends on what you're do…
