Comment Stability is not the issue (Score 1) 185

For the last 35 years, I have had a PC at work and a Mac at home. There used to be a huge difference in stability back in the days, but not any more.

However, my personal MacBook Air is still vastly superior to my company-provided HP laptop in all other aspects :
  • - Screen
  • - Touchpad
  • - Keyboard
  • - Weight
  • - Time to wake up from sleep
  • - Fan noise
  • - Battery life

    I suspect that even a MacBook Neo would be much better than the PoS that I have to use for work

Comment Re:Apple's First Modem (Score 0) 82

I'm surprised there's not more discussion about this phone having the first Apple cellular modem. That would seem to be a huge deal for Apple and Qualcomm. There's probably a reason it's first appearance is in a lower-quantity phone. Think of it as a beta-release.

I guess we will see this modem very soon in iPads, MacBooks and Apple Watches.

And much later in high-end iPhones, whose owners want the best possible phone.

We're going to get all kinds of stories about Apple modems not working in various edge cases, overheating, poor signal strength, etc.

Probably, yes. And Apple being Apple, we can expect software updates to correct some of these issues. Up to the point that the edge cases will be acceptable for most persons, providing that the Apple modems are less battery hungry.

And thank you, early iPhone 16e adopters, for being beta testers.

I recall reading about this happening in China, Japan, and/or Korea largely because so many children are growing up without siblings.

In China, many children not only have no siblings, they also have no cousins, because both their parents have no siblings themselves. Imagine a children who is the center of attention of 2 parents and 4 grandparents...

DOGE co-head Ramaswamy also backed the stance, calling time changes "inefficient and easy to change."

Go ahead please, I am very interested to know how "easy to change" it will be.

Uh, Congress passes a bill, the President signs it, and it's law.

So easy ! And of course implemented for March 9th 2025 ?
