Funny they should ask this of Facebook. You know, the company whose cavalier attitude towards privacy allowed interfering in elections. Sounds to me suspiciously like they target Facebook because they can give Facebook a really hard time (i.e., it's a soft target) and then use the outcome as a crowbar to crack open harder nuts like Apple and the like.

This doesn't really seem like the best choice for people doing gaming or other types of Non-Blackmagic rendering/processing, when a faster card and cheaper enclosure can be had elsewhere.

What I really like about this enclosure is its quietness (as described here). I'm really sensitive to fan noise, so this unit would seem ideal. I'm not a gamer or renderer btw, I'm looking to this as extra oomph for numeric analysis and a TB3 dock in one. The only thing I'd really like to see added is Gigabit ethernet, but that's only a dongle away.

I wonder: on a 2018 MacBook 15", are both the internal discrete GPU and the eGPU used concurrently? Could they be?

It speaks to the prowess of Samsung's engineers that they manage to almost catch up to Apple's flagship phone six months after it ships.

I fine it curious that Qualcomm was the only company that was fined. Will Apple not get fined for taking the money, this seems like something the EU would do. 

My first thought exactly. But on second thought: Apple did not force Qualcomm into an exclusive licensing agreement. It didn't lock out any competitors by entering into the agreement. So the EU doesn't really have a case against Apple for abusing any monopoly.

A post-Brexit Britain (if those silly limeys ever move ahead on the issue instead of stalling like a bunch of spineless cowards)[snip]

Unfortunately for the limeys, whether there will be a post-Brexit Britain is not up to them anymore. They've handed in their notice and they will be out 30 March 2019. The British can now only choose between a crash landing or a running one. Or they can choose to withdraw their notice, but according to popular wisdom that would result in scary monsters rising from the deep to tear asunder the entire island using their clawed tentacles and ferocious beaks and tear it to the bottom of the sea. So that option is out, I'm afraid.
