    Apple's 'Let Loose' iPad Air and iPad Pro event: M4?

    Fortunately iPad OS does almost nothing to take advantage of M silicon. So it will never throttle because it will be idling.... I would love to see MacOS on these high-end tablets, I just can't see Apple ever allowing their tablets to be ever so slightly open though, it's just not safe FOR THE...

    EK in hot water again?

    I thought EK was involved with Corsair's design initially? You're right though, EK disappearing just leaves a hole that Corsair is already perfectly capable of filling without spending any money on pointless M&A. I just think water cooling is a pointless risk in the desktop space, that's...

    EK in hot water again?

    There have been some serious questions about EK's product quality for a while now. I don't want to call it cutting corners, but there's a certain stink of doing things in a hurry.

    EK in hot water again?

    Brands like EK suffer triple when global money dries up. Let's be honest, their product is prestige nonsense that has a pretty damned small market, especially with air cooling being so damned good now. I'm long done with water cooling and I was doing it 30 years ago with Tupperware, fish tank...

    Apple Plans To Overhaul Entire Mac Line With AI-Focused M4 Chips

    I really do like the idea of using storage for this, especially given how fast storage is getting. I love the potential uses of all this, but I really want to see it local. If a smart home ever becomes something other than a burden, making it work offline would be fantastic.

    Apple Plans To Overhaul Entire Mac Line With AI-Focused M4 Chips

    I hope the AI stuff is good, because it's pretty cool tech, it should continue to be that way even after the hysteria and the hype die down. My MBP looks like it went through the Boer War and fought on both sides, maybe I finally replace Ol Yeller.

    Apple Plans To Overhaul Entire Mac Line With AI-Focused M4 Chips

    I was reading about Apple's plan to run local machine learning partially from storage and the first thought I had was "Apple will do anything to enshitify the specs of their low end". It's a logical approach to all this AI nonsense, but it's just... Apple gotta Apple, and that's the first...

    *Sniff* Farewell Atlas Robot.. You boogied with the best of them...

    Great, that's just the thing I want to see right before I head to the sweet hereafter.

    *Sniff* Farewell Atlas Robot.. You boogied with the best of them...

    There's a moment when the bot is jumping up the boxes that it stumbles and for just a moment there the movement is almost perfectly human. I mean it fails and all, but the attempted recovery looks just like a person falling and trying to recover. That's actually impressive and scary.

    Apple Plans To Overhaul Entire Mac Line With AI-Focused M4 Chips

    M&A still remains the number one way massive incumbents can stifle competition and deter innovation in any given market space.

    Sweet, now the orchard people can make copy/paste mosaics like the cool kids do.

    Ubisoft's The Crew is shutting down 31st March 2024 and will be unplayable after that because it is online only.

    There are a number of organizations and people that work devotedly to ease those requirements. Lawyers and police are seeking them.

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    Damnit I love a play on words, the only thing better is when it's not deliberate. I like to think that there were a number of sensible chuckles as people read that.
