  • Tim Cook casts doubt on new M2 MacBook Pros in 2022

    Lost sale. I guess I won’t be upgrading. Explains the extension of the lackluster 13” MacBook Pro. No thanks, I’ll wait.
    Ha!  I’m on the other side of this. Just ordered a 16” MBP. Made me sick to order weeks (or days!) before I thought an update was coming, but my purchase was approved and stalling wasn’t an option. 
    For my own situation, I’d be happy if the M2s don’t drop until 2024!

    You CANNOT get smaller than 4nm in the Laws of Physics - Do the research yourself.  As for dams, well research that as well.
    Hahahahahaha!  “Do the research!”  I spit out my coffee reading this. 
    I did a research paper on silicon for an applied chemistry class back in 91 or 92. I had a stack of books that very clearly and definitively stated that 100 nm was the absolute smallest transistor size possible, but that was just a theoretical limit—200 was probably the practical limit. Because of the laws of physics. 

    The laws of physics may be inmutable, but our understanding of them is in constant flux.

  • iPhone 14 won't always detect when you're in a crash

    This just in :No device is perfect, film at 11.

    My AW catches some of my falls, but mistakes other things for falls, like hitting my hand on something... 
    That’s interesting. I haven’t heard of this. I was afraid of false positives, so I only turned crash detection on in my watch this spring. It correctly recognized 3 bike crashes since then, but never any other events and believe me—I bump into stuff all the time. 
    I’ve been quite impressed.

  • Apple Watch Ultra review roundup: Best yet, with tradeoffs

    bageljoeybageljoey
    I’m pretty excited about this option. I won’t let myself buy it until I try one on—I have small wrists for someone of my size.  I don’t care so much how it looks, but I want it to feel
    like it fits… dress shirt cuffs are already a problem!

    How utterly sad is this?  
    It would be sad if they didn’t have the update ready to go when people got their phones.  
    Or worse, if they didn’t have the needed update ready and tried to downplay the issues. 

    But having the fix ready to go on day 1?  That’s barely even annoying…
