A different understanding of the extension of the presidential pardon when it creates a conflict of interest from the SCOTUS would be one possible path.

I believe, with huge disappointment, that this level of corruption has been normalised in this administration and that nothing will come out of this.

Was Sony making their MIPS workstations when they introduced their MIPS-based PlayStation? Sounds like a nice distinction between work and play. ;-)

Sounds like a nice blacklist to have.

> My work 64GB M1 Max Macbook Pro is consistently out of memory

What are you doing that needs that much memory?

Or a single-core Raspberry Pi with 512MB and an SDCard ;-)

That would force vendors to make Visual Studio and Xcode same ;-)

Being able to add RAM and replace storage with faster flash typically extend the useful life of a computer, even if the CPU is not replaceable as in desktops.

On my machines the limiting factor is not CPU, but memory and GPU speed. Low RAM and slow GPUs prevent me from running local AI models. These things will only get bigger over time. I wouldn’t expect a developer machine to still be useful 5 years from now with less than 16 or 32GB.

I miss the glowing logos too, but I guess this would force the screen to be ticker, which is a big no-no for Apple.

I think this April they should announce one with a beige shell, a rainbow logo, and a brown keyboard (with BELL on top of tge G) ;-).

It might be a fine laptop when you are on the move. I have an educational Lenovo for that purpose, but I would appreciate a Mac for that same use. When I need more power away from my desk I can use the MacBook Pro or my Lenovo T series (both a lot heavier than I’d like).

I just wish the Mac had 16GB of RAM but my tiny Lenovo has 8 and it’s been working OK so far - I haven’t even set up a proper swap partition and it’s running on zram.

We should probably have nicer scaling algorithms that account for Moirés. Also, when you see a Moiré, that’s because you are scaling a bitmap that has periodic dithering. These should be more rare now, and a good opportunity to replace them with vector images with periodic patterns that are tuned for physical dimensions rather than pixel count.
