No, not liquid metal. Liquidmetal.

Ah yes, recall when the same government was insisting that we have backdoors in all the encryption systems so they could break into our comms, but people said that would let bad people to break in as well.

So now those same people are saying we all need to use safely encrypted channels because bad people are breaking into our comms.

Similarly, despite the cost of "Masters of the Air," Nielsen's rankings revealed it failed to get as much of a U.S. viewership

Because it's terrible. It's every bad cliche of the last 70 years of WWII filmmaking stuffed into a single show.

How did they not realize this was going off the rails from the start? "I know what we need, yet another movie about WWII bombers that's just like all the other ones!"

I can't see them (yet) removing the MacPro from their roster. The PCI expansion slots are a niche market for some Pro users who use them, they still have a customer market for it albeit a shrinking one.

Could this not be addressed with a working external PCI expansion system?

Meteor lake is supposed to launch in December. It will be very interesting to see how the m3 lineup compares. I wonder if meteor lake comparisons are one reason Apple is launching pro and max now

Apple doesn't give a crap about anything Intel is doing. Why should they?

My wife's M1 MBAir totally trashes my "professional" (T-series) Lenovo work machine. Everything is better on the Air. It is way faster, it lasts days (yes, days) on a charge compared to hours (if I'm lucky) and has a usable trackpad. The only upside to the Lenovo is the really good keyboard. The Lenovo cost more too.

So yeah, they care not. Their customers don't either.
