They are probably also banking on the fact a blanket federal level set of laws would actually be far less restrictive to their operations than state level where consumer advocacy states would mandate extremely strict guidelines. So it is not like they’re on the side of right to repair. They’re just picking the lesser…

Yes, I know they didn’t eat people in a Disney/Marvel movie.

There was a time when CPU bottleneck was a noticeable hit on even daily task performance, particularly with mobile processors, but I think the industry has largely gotten past that phase since 2008. And Apple is ahead of the curve by being able to roadmap both OS development and chip architecture development, an…

Is that Capt America Civil War? I didn’t see that one. Took a dark turn, apparently.

You have to contextualize that 20%. As a stand-alone increment, it doesn’t sound like a lot. However, assuming they do release the M3 chip— it should be at least 20% above the last chip (M2), which was only 1 year ago when itself was 20% above the previous chip (M1). This means we’re now at least 144% the M1 speeds,…

I think there will be a half step between hamburgers and bug burgers.

I have no horse in the race. I enjoyed the super campy 80's Bond movies, so when they took a turn for the serious, I lost interest. Man, woman, platypus.....whatever at this point.

Those are some genuine fears, but I’d also point out that the past 10 years have also been an eye opener as to how no-budget indies can also have a platform in today’s disc-less market. All it takes is a good review and/or a little viral luck. Take 2018's Among Us. Took the world by storm and its dev team was like 5…

I was pondering this exact question. Hopefully it wasn’t a case of not knowing if the character was Cuban or Puerto Rican, as I feel that’s somehow worse than just picking the wrong asset between two similar assets. And I could see the latter innocently happening. I confuse Mexico and Italy’s flag, not remembering…

True. Forgot about that one. And apparently that’s the key to the answer. Multiples of 24, not 30 for modern equipment. Still doesn’t explain 250Hz though other than a “we could do it” approach.

Good god...what a psycho. Hopefully this is the “without parole” sentencing. It feels like a failure of our court system that he was free to do this in the first place. 

There is a lot of that, for sure. But there is still something to be said about upending notions of historical character identity that I feel one can be disappointed about without it being strictly gender politics. For instance, if someone where to do an Alien reboot and cast the character Ripley as a man, I’m sure a…

The bezel sticker says 250Hz. Why have it 10 more than the standard 240Hz? I assume the notion is more=better, but that makes me wonder why refresh rates seemed to be locked into multiples of 30 for so long.

Thing is, no one will ever know because this is a profiling tool, not a “go to jail” tool. They are using it to sort potential targets in the hopes they catch someone with actual ties to radicalized organizations or serious felony crimes. But that doesn’t make their use of this type of Venn Diagram system ok, where…

This is so dumb and such a dangerous precedent. What if someone wanted to learn history and Googled “Nazis” or “KKK”? Would be then be grouped in with extremists? What if someone Googled a targeted word without knowing its meaning, which is why they were Googling it in the first place? What if someone Googled…

There’s almost no way Apple could have been honorable here while also looking OK after Jon explores those topics. Apple, along with the rest of FAANG, are pushing AI in an arms race that is most likely throwing safeguards and regulations to the wind because investors see AI as the golden goose. And I’m sure they also…

Green chili and jalepenos beating an egg is a travesty. While I do enjoy both of those vegetables, they both lose out easily to a fried egg. 

Isn’t the beginning of every sci-fi/horror movie when a seemingly good intentioned scientist disregards regulations, proper procedure, and general safety in favor of “progress”? Then cue to halfway through the movie and we get some deadly mutated pathogen instead of a miracle cure or have formed a black hole in the…

If someone is hand making their pasta, then I can see $20-30, with the latter only if there is a substantial amount of meat in the sauce or a particularly difficult to get right dish. If it is dried pasta though and just marina sauce, charging over $20 is crazy. If Olive Garden can sell “never ending” pasta for $14.,…

I’m entirely content with waiting out this folding trend for the true “game changer” we were promised years ago, the scrolling phone. No creases. No gaps.
