    A lot of work and cost that could be solved by just buying an iPhone.  Or a Mac.

    When Dell (formerly PC's Connection) came along 

    Dell was never PCs Connection or PC Connection.  Dell was previously “PCs Limited”.  PC Connection is large technology company that does mail / phone / online orders and is heavily involved with B2B as well as consumer. Similar to CDW.  It is based in New Hampshire and has been around since 1982.  They formerly had a “Mac Connection” branch of the business that was Mac oriented.

  • Apple pauses iOS 18, macOS 15 work to stomp bugs now

    They should probably spend a week a month for a while doing this.

  • First M3 benchmarks show big speed improvements over M2

    5nM/3nM = 1.6 recurring, suggesting a move from the 5nM process to the 3nM process would yield a 67% improvement in speed/power ratio. We are not seeing that.

    If you delve into the TMSC public documentation on their timelines, we see it is far more complicated than the headline figures suggest. The current "3nM" process as advertised by Apple for both their A17 series and M3 series is merely a stepping stone from the previous "5nM" process, which also is not what its name says. There are probably two more generations of SOCs, As and Ms, before we actually arrive at something that can truly be called 3nM. By then, the talk will be about "2nM". 

    I am happy with my M1 MBA 16GB/2TB until at least the M5 comes along. 
    Not sure why you think gang speed or performance is exactly a match to the size.  It’s probably a much more complicated picture.

  • T-Mobile forcing customers to more expensive plans instead of hiking prices

    chadbagchadbag
    I was on t-mobile for a long time.  Then they decided to that get the auto pay discount you had to give them your bank info instead of just charging your card.  (You could also use a debit card which is hardly better than direct debit of account with bank info — they still have direct ac was to your funds).  If you didn’t enter your banking info you’d lose the discount which was basically a price hike for me of around $50/month on our 5-6 lines.   So I moved.  I decided to go to Mint Mobile
    prepaid at 1/2 the cost yearly (yes I know Mint is being or has been acquired by T-Mobile but it’s run as a separate business with different parameters).   So T-mobile basically lost a 6 line customer.
