I fail to see how your story provides evidence that problem can be chalked up to faulty third party software.

I don't know why your comment got a couple dislikes...I fully agree. I've worked for software developers for a long time and done their hardware support for decades. What the photo shows should really not be possible. That is, properly-written kernel and graphics drivers should prevent a runaway "rainbow crash" (legacy term) as we're seeing here. And the article does indeed not provide evidence that it's bad software that is culpable. So we're left with multiple questions: What supposedly bad software was it and why does the new MBP allow that software to do this? If offending software does something it's not supposed to, the OS should stop it and throw an error or, at worst, a well-handled crash (with logs for us to analyze). Not this. Based on my experience, this smells like a graphics driver error. If I'm right, that's good news, as (once it's fixed) can easily be remedied with a software update.

I don't think I'll ever understand the concept of buying a company just to shut them down.

Serious question: Why would it cost more to make iPhones with robots in the USA than it would in China?

Robots don't run themselves. They have to be installed and maintained. The facilities they are in have to be run. The trucks that deliver the raw materials in and the finished goods out have to be driven. Utilities, property and local taxes. Insurance is certainly not a minimal difference either, along with OSHA compliance. It adds up and all must be considered.

I downloaded it. To use it you have to sign up. This means either giving them a lot of personal info or signing in with Facebook. I tried the latter and they wanted my entire friends list. Nope. App has been deleted from my phone. I think AI should not recommend apps that demand lots of personal info.
