watchOS 11.4 was briefly available, and was pulled by Apple [u]
No update for my watch either.

M4 24-inch iMac vs M1 24-inch iMac compared -- A muted upgrade for first-adopters
I don’t care, 27”, 32”, aww hell 35” iMac would suit me fine. My long-in-the-tooth Intel powered 27” iMac is ready to be passed to its next home. If the new, larger iMac is announced this week, fine, if not then it’s going to be the M4 equipped Mac Studio along with a Studio display next week. I’ll be good for at least the next 5 years with that, probably longer. See how simple that is.

New iPad Pro rumored to debut with M4 chip
A bit of roundabout way to say that the hardware is already here and Apple doesn't need to wait to ship SoCs with more NPUs. Furthermore, they made this decision about 3 years ago, at least. Who knows if these iPP models will come with the M4 SoC though. Kind of a big thing to keep secret. We should expect it to be M3 SoCs.

How to make the most of the iOS Calculator
^^^+1lowededwookie said:What I love about the Calculator app is that it always gives the correct answer... assuming you haven't "Garbage in Garbage out" it.
You'd be surprised at how many cheap and nasty calculators give the wrong answer to this simple equation:
1 + 2 * 3
Most calculators will give the answer as 9 because they do this:
1 = + 2 = * 3 =
So instead of doing the equation as
2 * 3 = 6 + 1 = 7
It does
1 + 2 = 3 * 3 = 9
I understand why they do this. Cheap calculators don't have memory and thus they have to equals everything out at each point. It's then up to you to get the input correct.
Which brings me to Calculator in Windows.
Why is it that when in Basic mode Windows Calculator operates like a calculator that has no memory despite having large amounts of memory available to it? It then works correctly when you turn it into Scientific mode. This means Microsoft purposefully wrote two lots of calculation code for no good reason. That's why Windows is a bloated piece of junk.
