Qualcomm study unsurprisingly says Qualcomm modems beat Apple's C1

Very disappointing that Apple is trying to incorporate inferior technology in iPhone. Apple always has to try and save a few cents - and yet still charge the highest price for a product.

Apple tests EU by adding scare screens to apps using third-party payments [u]
xyzzy-xxx said:I think Apple should give up on suggesting that their App Store is better in any regard than other online stores. It may be correct in some regards for some competitors and in other regards some competitors may be better than Apple. The whole gatekeeper / wallet garden thing is obsolete.

Apple Silicon M5 chips are probably in mass production now
The number of Star Trek jokes about the M5 are about to escalate!
"This unit must survive." - M5, Star Date 2268
The M-5 multitronic unit, or the M-5 computer, was an advanced multitronic computer system and prototype created by DoctorRichard Daystrom during the mid-23rd century. M-5 was installed on board the USS Enterprise in 2268 as a test of its capabilities. The M-5 drills were designed to allow the unit to command and control the ship during several exploration simulations and war games.During battle drills, the computer's self-preservation instinct became dominant, resulting in the destruction of the robot ship Woden and the deaths of several hundred Starfleet officers when it severely damaged the USS Excalibur and USS Lexington.The senior crew attempted to cut off the computer from the ship's controls, but M-5 rerouted command functions through new data lines, and kept sending false signals through the original ones. The computer could also generate a force field around itself, effectively preventing anyone from coming near it.Captain James T. Kirk made the computer self-destruct by asking it if it was right to kill another being. M-5 said that it was a crime against the laws of Man and God, and, believing that such a crime was punishable by death, deactivated itself.M-5 'The Ultimate computer' -
CalDigit's new Element 5 hub brings more Thunderbolt 5 ports to the Mac
jeffharris said:Nice, but still too many USB-A ports!
I have the Element Thunderbolt 4 hub. It’s great, except that it has 4 USB-A ports. That’s four too many.I wish it had ONLY USB-C ports, same for the Element Thunderbolt 5 hub.
Honestly, what is it with companies still saddling devices with USB-A ports?My keyboard and trackball use USB-A. My supposedly Thunderbolt 4 monitor has 4 USB-A ports. Huh?I’ve bought a bunch of cables that go from USB-Whatever to USB-C.
When will USB-A go away?
The only thing I like about USB-A over USB-C is that the connection is more stable if the cable is wiggled.
