Well considering he predicted that Apple would make touchscreen MacBooks by 2025 and that has not happened yet, this might be another miss.

One of the main problems that foldables have right now is their screen aspect ratio is square whereas a lot of content is either tall (YouTube shorts, TikTok shorts) or wide (movies, YouTube). Having more screen means little if most of it is used for black pixels.

The compounds of the ruling elite that own all of the capital and AI will be thoroughly shielded against EMP attacks of any kind.

Nobody is coming to save you. That includes mother nature. Although there is a distinct possibility that these idiots will get their hands on nuclear weapons and end our species.

You like Google use the term "RCS" to mean Universal Profile AND Google RCS to mean the same thing. That is the lie you are spreading. They are not the same thing.

What is the "rant"? I posted "features like encryption". I suppose in your world that is a rant. The fact of the matter is Universal Profile does not support encryption and other features that iMessage and Google RCS have. You seem not to understand the word "features" or "other".

The default base protocol for that is called MMS. Please look it up. The problem with RCS is that since every carrier and device used their own version of RCS in the beginning, why should Apple implement dozens of incompatible versions of RCS again? Again MMS is the default fallback.

And Apple has never whined that Google didn't follow iMessage. Like you are whining now.

Please describe how Apple is supposed to decrypt Google RCS encrypted message then without adopting it? Google RCS uses the Signal Protocol however their implementation is incompatible with the Signal app. You don't know? What a shocker.

What are you talking about? Apple did not support RCS for years because every device used a different version. Your argument is Apple should have publicly announced the reason when it was apparent to anyone in the industry? Again, you did no research did you?

But for most Americans that would be a change in how they vote.

Most Americans vote based on who was in office the last time they got screwed over. We vote for the other guy. It literally doesn't matter how terrible or destructive the other guy is. If I'm having a bad time I'm voting for the other guy.

The problem is that creates a ratcheting effect. You're always moving towards the pro corporate direction because sooner or later if you're just voting for the other guy you're going to vote for somebody who's super super pro corporate and when those guys getting power they seize a lot of power and get a lot of shit done. Now during the next cycle other guy voters are going to switch to well, the other guy who will be significantly less pro corporate if not completely not pro corporate (although financially it's hard to make it out of a primary if you're not pro corporate to some degree, because if all else fails the corporations will spend up certain amounts of money defeating you in a primary if you're a existential threat to them). But the problem is you still have all the damage from when you voted other guy without really thinking about it because the last guy didn't fix every problem in the world in 4 years.

I don't know how you stop other guy voting. I don't think it's enough to expect people to vote strategically because people hate politics and it's a chore thinking about it and dealing with it so asking your average voter to vote strategically is of tall order...

What I would like to get people to do is to at least start to think about their vote. Also I'd really like to get something done here in America about county level voters suppression. We have a lot of it and it is drastically changing our politics...

But getting back to my original comment the main goal here is to get people to actually think about their vote just a little.

And herein are the lies. 1) Google's calls their protocol "RCS" which they used interchangeably with GSMA RCS (Universal Profile) in all their arguments. 2) While Apple did not adopt Universal Profile, which other carriers and devices supported standard Universal Profile? None of them. They implemented their own incompatible versions of Universal Profile. Why? Because Universal Profile did not have features of iMessage. It was not until Google developed Google RCS that had features like encryption that carriers and devices used a common protocol. Unfortunately Google RCS is still proprietary and controlled only by Google. The default fallback for messaging over cellular radio is MMS.

The facts like always do not support your arguments. I could assume you do no research as this seems to be a habit. Or you simply do not care that you post misrepresentations.

Then what is your definition of "artificial"? Bear in mind the entire article is one person's speculation on what Apple might do. The limitation right now is Apple's contract with TSMC is to make a certain amount of A18 Pros. TSMC has allocated those lines to other customers after they finish with Apple's order. I would guess if Neo demand were high enough, Apple would take 6 GPU core A18 Pro chips and disable one of the GPU cores to keep selling Neos. Implementing a new production line or designing a 5 GPU core A18 Pro would be costly.

I do not know UK laws but he can absolutely sue for libel; winning the suit is another question. Libel requires reputation harm not any general harm.

The use case is you have a decent size screen on a device that you can pocket. If you look at the latest foldables, they aren't much thicker than non-foldables. About as thick as an iPhone from a few generations ago.

They seem to have reached the point where the tech is reasonably mature and not excessively fragile. Now they just need to get the price down.

I get your point, but... Nature wasn't all built for humans. So as humans, we're allowed to judge some parts of nature from our perspective and declare them to be "hellish nightmares" (for humans).

An erupting volcano is perfectly natural...

Additional fun fact that might matter: Old World porcupines do not climb trees, but New World porcupines do.

So if you're European and are puzzling about how the porcupine got that high up? It climbed all by itself.

Every time you get angry at somebody screwing you over in a systemic way the next question you need to be asking is, does this change how I vote?

If the answer is no then your rage is impotent and useless.

How about wiping out an entire civilization?

Puts anyone accused of being Satoshi at great risk.

When you win the lottery in the UK, they help you hide the wealth. Special bank accounts, advice on how to avoid other people finding out, that sort of thing. There is a risk of both crime and people coming to beg for money.

I believe the company paid $500k to fly the employees there and stage the event, not a $500k per person event.
