Entry-level 'M2' MacBook Pro might not have ProMotion display
It'll be fine if it doesn't have that stupid notch.

Victrola Revolution Go review: a portable record player perfect for budding music enthusia...
rob53 said:You do realize Victrola sold their brand name and these record players use cheap components. The poweR button on a friend’s player broke internally and there’s no replacement.I donated a real, hand crank Victrola to a retirement home along with a ton of clay/phenolic records. It still worked and with Billie Holiday singing sounded great.
I question "sounded great" on a hand crank but that's still really cool.

Victrola Revolution Go review: a portable record player perfect for budding music enthusia...
Seriously?Come on. This is stupid.Let's say you actually buy into the concept of 'warmer analog audio and more faithful reproduction from vinyl' (which is bullshit, but let's play along for a minute).This is a crappy record player, with a crappy cartridge, and a crappy analog to digital converter that then sends audio over Bluetooth. It's also got a crappy built in Bluetooth speaker.NO! JUST STOP!This is the worst of all worlds. Either get a good record player (vintage or current high end) and hook it up to a good analog amplifier and good analog speakers, or don't bother and use the (demonstrably better anyway) full digital path with FLAC or Apple Lossless encoded music, or if you're feeling old school a CD, again with a good amplifier and good speakers.

Apple files a lawsuit to stop upcoming indie 'Apple Man' film
The solution is simple. All trademarks on common English words should be revoked. Apple loses their trademark, anybody can call anything Apple. If they want a trademark, they can trademark the word combination Apple Computer, but not apple or computer alone.(And yes, the company changing their name to just "Apple" was stupid.) -
New Mac mini with M2 & M2 Pro - all the rumors so far
Hopefully they keep the internal power supply. An external brick is a step backward.Also, how do you open this one? Back to the putty knife? Annoying. (And yes, I will be opening whatever Apple releases, it's part of what I do.)
