There's more than just USB-C and HDMI and ethernet, though. There's SD card slots, microSD card slots, SSDs, USB-C cards (technically also thunderbolt), USB-A cards, audio cards, DisplayPort cards, HDMI cards, GigE cards, and 10GigE cards. I believe there's also a wireless mouse dongle garage card coming. The whole point of these is so that you don't need to carry any dongles, and for most people on the go (because if you're at home, use a dock), they're unlikely to need to plug in more than four things to a laptop at the same time.

That said, it'd be nice if the Framework 13 had six card slots instead of four like the 16.

The fundamental issue is that theaters need to generate a certain amount of revenue per square foot to be profitable. People "rent" small amounts of space for a couple hours then they leave. But theaters are massive buildings, the desirable time slots are finite, and even on a good day it's a struggle to pack a theater. Somebody has to pay for everything and it seemes to be a figure that requires high gross profits and extensive upselling to get to that number.

$500-600 for a new entry-level Macintosh laptop (Neo) or desktop (Mini) is quite reasonable, and the hardware on offer is suitable for most people's needs.

Yes, you can get Windows laptop for $300, but the quality and specs of what you're getting at that price is... questionable.

You don't need a techbro robotaxi to tell you where potholes are in Montreal. Just pick any random street in the city. It will have potholes. Finding them isn't part of the problem.

There was an initial large disruption as they dumped a huge number of packages into alternate delivery systems that weren't prepared for the sudden massive increase in load. Within a few weeks, it had settled down, and shipping times had improved enough that same-day and next-day shipping were once again available, albeit with shorter "order by" windows. The quality of the delivery experience has dropped significantly (in terms of failed/late deliveries) due to them relying exclusively on "Intelcom" (a gig delivery service) rather than Amazons own delivery system.

My understanding of how it works, at least for Montreal (which used to have multiple Amazon warehouses in the metro area), is that all orders are shipped from the Toronto area, a ~6 hour drive away. Amazon loads orders onto big Amazon trucks (semi trailers) and drives them to an Intelcom distribution centre in Montreal, and Intelcom handles the last-mile delivery. Intelcom doesn't do inter-city delivery, and Amazon doesn't have any infrastructure in Montreal (or Quebec more broadly).

As for why Amazon services Montreal's orders from Toronto (a ~6 hour drive away) instead of Ottawa (a ~2 hour drive away), my only guess is that Ottawa (1.5m metro pop) wasn't big enough absorb all of Montreal's (4.3m metro pop) demand, but Toronto (6.2m) was.

That ultimately won't matter, because the workers have already been laid off, and the courts can't order Amazon to reverse the decision. The best case scenario is that several years down the road, Amazon will have to make a one-time payout to the workers.

One of Amazon's warehouses in the Montreal area (Laval) unionized. Amazon took the nuclear response and closed every warehouse in the entire province, seven in total. All Amazon orders destined for Quebec are now shipped from Ontario.

Clive Sinclair's company collapsed within five years of shipping their first computer. Perhaps not a good counter-example.

In what way? Once the model is loaded into VRAM, very little data has to travel over the bus. You're going to be limited by storage speeds loading the model anyway.

You're probably not going to get any external PCIe port other than thunderbolt. Thunderbolt is fast enough for most Mac use cases anyway. TB5 gets you 80 Gbps bidirectional, or 120/40 Gbps asymmetrical, and there aren't a lot of things in a desktop environment that would really benefit from more than 120 Gbps.

I'm confused, most stores like that already have digital price tags, and have for many years. Even Walmart has been using them already for a while now.

Cuba is bullied because the Cuban community in Miami is numerous and have a loud opinion to doing so. Florida is generally quite important in winning a presidential election.

Amazon has been making a lot of amateur mistakes too in recent months. I expect it will get worse before it gets better.

Hydro-Quebec is facing future capacity shortages due to past underinvestment in new infrastructure. They're facing losing a significant chunk of their installed capacity due to the Churchill Falls deal being at risk of falling apart. That deal would also have included a bunch of new construction, which may not happen any more. They're making big plans about future investments to increase capacity, but are still returning billions to the government in dividends instead of re-investing in capacity expansion.

Do we really have the capacity to export so much more power to the US?
