    A real-world example of 45 minutes waiting for builds cut in half, translated to a 3 month payback on buying a new M1 laptop.  That’s powerful validation of the SoC and system engineering that went into this machine.
    Well, let's just say that if their engineers are spending 45 minutes per day, just waiting far a compilation to finish, doing nothing else, they are doing it wrong.

    Even if they cut that in half.

    It's bothering that "analysts" and "researchers" from these large firms seem to have no idea how long it takes to get a real, physical, car on the road. 

    My company works as a subcontractor for several major automotive OEMs, so I have some idea what the roadmap looks like in 2025/2026, and how far their development and test drives are. Sure, you can compare to Testa instead, that managed to get their first cars out in record time, but then it was not really their own base platform. And, for any kind of autonomous car you need huge amounts of driving experience to get anywhere close to certification (and don't even think of L5 as your first step into these waters)...

    wdym it wasn't their own platform? tesla is the most vertically integrated car company. it was their own platform.
    The Roadster was built on a Lotus chassi. The Model S was released 3 years later, but in very small quantities.

    No reason to allow Android in on iMessage or to adopt any other coming protocol. Nothing better than my Android friends being left out of the party.

    It's just that sometimes you have to make plans or arrange something in a group, and to do that now you are forced to leave the Apple ecosystem and serve Facebook/WhatsApp/Meta with your personal data instead. That's annoying and frankly makes Apple look stupid.
     Nah, just makes their complainers look petty and uninformed.
    Uninformed? Care to elaborate?

    Is the RCS protocol already implemented on the other carriers at this time and Verizon is just late to the party?
    At least in Europe this has been working for a while.
    If only Apple could get their act together, we could finally get rid of the Facebook and WhatsApp mess for cross-platform group texting.
