Tile should put its new devices on both Apple's and their own "find me" networks (and also Amazon's if they want). That would help make them more popular, which would also grow their old network, improving the usefulness of their old devices.

Most of the AirTag's power is presumably for BlueTooth -- UWB is extremely low power. Hopefully there will be much smaller future tags with tiny batteries, once most iPhones have UWB.

I'm disappointed that air tags are so large. Ultra Wideband is extremely low power, and could use a microscopic battery to communicate every few seconds for years. I also wish they integrated this into an apple pencil. My wife so far has lost thr…

I think the wording of the opt-in/opt-out message is poor. It should really be, "Your data will be used to personalize ads that are delivered to you." You are opting in/out of allowing personalization, not in/out of allowing ads! Many would prefe…

So both TSMC and Intel are building new foundries in Arizona. Intel already has a major presence there, so I'm wondering if this means that Intel is going to outsource some advanced manufacturing to TSMC, or that TSMC is going to siphon off skill…

Love my iMac Pro. Extremely reliable. Unless their new machines have ECC RAM, I doubt they will be able to run on multi day or week computations as reliably.

Apple should be moving forward, not backward. I think they're listening too much to a vocal minority.

The Topaz Labs tests are all machine learning stuff that doesn't use the Neural Engine on the M1 (11 Trillion operations per second), so not exactly a reasonable comparison either.

I considered one of the TerraMaster enclosures when I got an iMac Pro in 2017, but decided on the WD My Book Duo, 20TB, which I use as 10TB mirrored. Cheap and reliable, and enough for my needs. Their current version is 28TB. If I was getting som…

Obviously Trump and Biden don't agree here. I had assumed Trump was using the threat of repeal as a club to get social media to behave more the way he wants. To actually repeal would mean they would become responsible for any incitement to violen…

These things are tricky. If compliance is hard to verify and penalties are large, it seems to me most US manufacturers might just abandon giving any work to Uighurs in this region, regardless of what the working conditions are.
