I’d rather have properly working accessories that connect using Thread (not Wi-Fi) to one another and work without requiring a separate app. Currently almost every manufacturer requires their own proprietary bridge or they want to connect directly to Wi-Fi.

Give me a button/switch, climate sensors (Eve Room comes to mind as it has Thread but it’s a PitA in some other ways), thermostats that can adjust based on an external climate sensor, lightbulbs etc.

Apple TVs and HomePods already work fine as a “Home hub”, I don’t need a separate, central display.

Block it and move on with your life?

If you miss the word “Web” in the title:

It allowed that since iOS 17.4, but 18.2 will also allow these apps to as Home Screen icons/PWAs.

I’ve yet to find a browser for iOS with a custom engine though.

Technically no, but if you want to install apps from the App Store, then yes.

Bitwarden keeps working just fine.

I’m no expert here, but I’m pretty sure branch prediction logic is not part of the instruction set, so I don’t see how RISC alone would “fix” these types of issues.

I think you have to go back 20-30 years to get CPUs without branch prediction logic. And VSCodium is quite the resource hog (as is the modern web), so good luck with that.

Meaning up to 28 GB for the Air as well?

Nvidia might be selling the shovels to the customer during this gold rush, but TSMC is making them.

Yes! Can I haz pancakes too?

Pretty calm here for a “panic”.

I was surprised until I saw the spec sheet. The A17 Pro in the iPad mini has a 5-core GPU as opposed to the 6-core GPU the iPhone 15 Pro has with the chip.

So the iPad mini features a binned version of the A17 Pro chip, and Apple likely has quite a few of them piled up as they only ever sold fully functional A17 Pro chips so far. The N3B process didn’t have the best of yields to chips with partial defects would’ve likely been quite common.

Combine that with the likely lower volume sales of the mini compared to larger iPads (and obviously iPhones) and Apple can probably sell the mini for a couple of years without needing to produce new A17 Pro chips.

So it actually makes a lot of sense. Makes me wonder what they’ll put in the next regular iPad though.

Then don’t buy a new iPhone/MacBook/iPad every year.

I personally prefer to buy a device that’s as up-to-date as possible whenever I buy it. I wouldn’t want to buy an expensive device that’s 2.5 years old when I buy it only for it to get replaced by its successor half a year down the line.

Most of the cartridges this device can dump are so old that nobody will come after you for owning such dumps, whether they’re from your cartridge or not. It’ll also be hard to prove that the ROM isn’t from your own cartridge if it’s a clean ROM.

This is the way.

Exactly. If anything, signs like these drag the attention away from the actual issue.

Just to clarify, do you want multiple remote users connecting to the same desktop session or to separate desktop sessions on the same computer (like a terminal server)?

Thanks for letting me know, I just updated to v5 yesterday.

I used to use the Magic Mouse gen 1 and opening the battery compartment was as easy as pressing down on a plastic “lever”. I never harmed my fingernails in any way in the process.

Other than that, there are clearly many better mice. Having to lift the finger from the left mouse button for it to register a right click is stupid.

They can and they are making their own chip designs to do the job.

The cloud part of Apple Intelligence runs on their own designed hardware.

Show 'em, that’ll teach these nasty fanboys! Reads like writing that got you a big dopamine rush.

I agree, commenting “Use Firefox!!!1!11” on every post remotely related to (other) browsers doesn’t help anybody, just like commenting “Use Linux!!!1!11” on every post about a vulnerability in Windows doesn’t contribute anything meaningful at all.

Look, I also disagree with what Mozilla is doing here and yes, they 100% deserve the flak they are getting for it. But - like most things in life - it’s not black and white. Firefox could still be less intrusive to your privacy than Chrome (I’m not saying it necessarily is, but it could be that way). A different example: your mail provider could track every time you login to your account, or it could analyze and track the content of every email you receive. One is clearly worse than the other, right?

Which browser(s) do you recommend/use?
