It would be a horrifically bad idea for Taiwan to export their latest process to America, matched only by Ukraine's idiotic idea of giving up their nukes in the 1990s. What incentive would the USA have to protect Taiwan if their tech was already in the USA? 

You're probably right. It's sad, because with MagSafe half the electricity gets used to increase the entropy of the universe which raises carbon emissions for no reason. It is slow, it makes the phones bigger and heavier, and hardly anyone uses it. And yet, for so many years the only thing reviewers would say every September was "and it still doesn't have teh wireless chargez!". Apple doesn't want the big story in September to be that, so they will include the wasteful and useless thing.

As someone with over 100 Hue devices, I wouldn't recommend Hue to anyone who isn't an engineer. They're actually quite finicky. You end up having multiple hubs to deal with the 50 device limit. When a light burn out, there's no easy way to replace it- you have to adjust all your automations, switches, etc to talk to the new light. This tech just isn't ready yet (and I've use it nearly 15 years).

Yeah I amusingly thought it is more likely MacOS would be absorbed into iPadOS.

seriously though, if iPadOS had
*the MacOS finder,
*better, easy to use windowing
*better, easier to use multitasking, and
*multiple user accounts
the grief would mostly go away.

Well yeah, if the iPad was just another Mac, then there would be no grief about it not being a Mac. It also wouldn't even exist.

Thought they could create something as impressive as 1 Infinite Loop, did they? Hard to imagine Alphabet/Google running out of money.

1 Infinite Loop or the Apple Park?

1infinite loop. Google could never make Apple Park.
