    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.

    I love Claris, but I expect if you asked 100 people who had never seen it before at least 95 would describe it simply as a pixelated dog. The only cow aspect is the spots, and plenty of dogs have spots. 
    Moof!

    I have never found a terminal that applies a a limit to Apple Pay, other than sometimes refunds don't work through it. Even when the limit was £30, I regularly spent more through Apple Pay with no issue.
    I hit a limit at a bike shop in the US. Couldn’t put $3,000 on the Apple Card using my watch. The clerk had never run into a limit before, but we broke it into two transactions ($2 and $1K).

  • 'Apple Watch Series 7' could use smaller chips to fit bigger battery

    Lately I’ve been having erratic battery behavior. Overnight while sleep tracking it has drained from the 90%s to the 20%s twice. Other times I wake up still in the 90%s. 
    During a 1.5 hour bike ride using Strava it might drop 15% or 60%.
    This is new behavior on my AW6 cellular.

    Generally, no matter what I did, I could get 24 hours easy on a full charge. Can’t say that now…

    I just got a slim wallet with a loop and have a keychain holder connected with a short, steel cable. Works great!
