This is the end result of the always-on philosophy in regards to screens. People want bigger and bigger and then they're offended by black slabs taking up wall space and so they want something instead of nothing, caring little about the power draw because they are often instructed by youtubers...

iPads of all tiers are remarkable values once you consider lifespan and software/security support. People might express disinterest in the restrictiveness of the hardware, but if you are in search of a tablet, the likelihood that an iPad will exceed the runway of MacOS counterparts, let alone...

The grumbles about the price jump seem to neglect the fact that the previous SE was a 4 year old device demanding a premium even a couple of years after release, nevermind 4. USD$430 was a tall ask for the sum component total THEN, and before it was replaced, the used market of younger iPhones...

I would venture to guess that the appification of services, despite the soft bundling and the cross-pollination, is an annoyance that people used to put up with when costs were acceptable, but now that prices have exceeded inflation and don't match the quality content gaps, people are quicker to...

Look, right to life begins at conception and ends at delivery. Yeehaw.

Mercedes interiors really are just godawful. The silver door insets have and continue to look parts bin. Even budget sedan makers know not to go so garish.

Nikola founder Trevor Milton, convicted felon post gravity truck run, is going FFS! And phoning a lawyer for appeal or reversal. When we look back on this time and find it was all cause of drugs, all these wasteful enterprises in an era pivotal for staving or cementing our demise, at least the...

I also wouldn't object to finding a $70k RWD Porsche EV in a spot free for the taking, Jon. I'm certain I could live with that.

I don't know if it's relevant to this spate of organized crimes, but I wouldn't be surprised if people exploited widely available identity and residence details revealed in data breaches recent and past to then utilize customer facing courier tools that enable alerts as to the wheres and whens...

CEOs insistent on RTO might get a whole lot less grief if the shift was accompanied by embrasure of unionization efforts and substantive childcare options. On the flip side, employees against RTO oddly discount the advantage their employers take of home office setups/upgrades mostly borne by the...

I think "cheaper" is the wrong word, Andrew. Less expensive is the phrase that comes to my mind, when the perpetually out-of-stock plastic options run $200+, multiples of the top emulators on the market.

You can get used to almost anything, but the lack of a rear window is a safety risk. Back a car down a long narrow driveway or alley relying only on mirrors. It will quickly dawn on you that doing the ol’ torso turn, one hand on the wheel, one hand behind the passenger seat maneuver is far...

Denmark has an extradition treaty with the US. The execs and lawyers of Nordisk might want to nudge Parliament to ixnay that.

I always felt like the labrador that caught the mail truck when I handled and later acquired a Handspring Visor and later a Palm something, I forget the model, it had a curved base and a folio cover. The idea was tremendous. It signaled superproductivity and success. But I never really used mine...

Since patients invariably get an extortionate bill after the hospital makes arrangements with the insurance mafia to scratch one anothers’ backs, and cash almost always come out a significantly lower total, would it be impossible to default to cash as a “customer” and then do the reverse, i.e...

Boeing is communicating through every public debacle that it cannot be trusted. To analogize chess, at some point you forfeit the game because you have no choice in the face of closing moves where you could just be shuffling one square over. Boeing seems to think a mixture of too big to fail and...

Right now, I see a Dell XPS 13 with Core Ultra 7, 16gb of ram and 512 m.2 storage for $1400. A comparable MBA M3 goes for $1500. The delta doesn't seem extreme. Does not sound like highway robbery. Pretty powerful machines packed with longevity.

This applies retroactively to the previous release, but the 15" has no business being called a Macbook Air. In fact, the 13" should probably lose the designation as well. They should be called Macbooks. They strain the Air signifier, which once was pilloried, rightly, for being an underpowered...

Complaints about price for spec will always be relative, but some context is always good and often missing. I continue to think that a person shopping for a performant laptop, not just A laptop, should budget USD$2000 or more. Otherwise, you could find yourself in the unfortunate situation of...

Momentarily the world’s “most valuable company.” Reassess that, eh?
