F1 driver tracks down thieves that stole his AirPods with Find My

Based on what was in the article this is blatantly false. The thieves have not been found.

-ib

But the AirPods were found. 

Right. So the headline should be "F1 driver tracks down stolen AirPods with Find My". Imback is correct - the headline as written is completely and utterly wrong.

Amazon is now just like the Buy N Large company from the movie Wall-E. The difference here is Elon Musk’s space ships will take us off the planet.

I'm ok with this as long as Bezos, Musk, and No 45 are all on board for the first one-way journey to Mars.
That way, they can escape paying any tax for good.

I guess you missed the part where Musk is paying $11 billion in tax?

That was a one time thing due to how his stocks and options matured. Normally he pays almost nothing.

Do you actually have any concept of how much $11 billion is? It is absolutely ridiculous to write that off as "just a one time thing"; also he deliberately structured the option and stock-sale executions to maximise the tax due. Even if he never pays any tax ever again in his life, he'll probably have contributed more tax than anyone else ever, or at the very least be in the top ten list. It honestly boggles my mind how much flak he still gets about his tax affairs after this.

The camera shouldn't be thought of as a notch out of the useable screen, it should be thought of as apple giving more pixels to use either side of the camera, if you want.

That was exactly my first thought. I don't hide my menu bar so there's no screen loss for me, just a smaller laptop altogether, about 5mm less bezel on top.

Having checked the pixel ratios of the screens, it appears that what I said is indeed the case - the screen area either side of the camera is an additional 74 pixels in height, beyond the usual 16:10 ratio of a MacBook Pro screen. The 16" screen is 3456 x 2234 pixels, whereas a 16:10 ratio would be 3456 x 2160.

I don’t want to be overly dramatic about the notch, but even with it in the menu bar, I still think it will be distracting.

There are photos/renderings on Apple's website that seem to imply that you can set the screen resolution so that there is effectively no notch - i.e. it's not notched out of the menubar, it's that the pixels either side of the camera are just turned off and not used.
