That's impressive, or should I say scary? 150w is a lot of heat to dissipate... I hope those aren't laptop chips...

Capitalism does not breed innovation, it steals it.

That does make me wonder though, which countries do breed the most innovation?

What's the startup capitol of the world? How does one set of national policies stack up against another when it comes to the number of patents or successful businesses per Capita?

As much as the sentiment of your statement feels right, I wonder if the numbers back it up, or if it's more truthiness than truth?

And to be clear, I'm really not trying to throw shade here, I'm actually curious, questioning my own preconceptions.

That is hilarious.

I spent a while trying to figure out how a cat could possibly long press a power button, even pressing it at all should be a challenge...

Then I remembered that most people use laptops.

I would be impressed if a cat could hold the power button in for several seconds on my tower, you have to depress the button about a 1/4 inch.

Lol, Tim Apple. Who was it that said that? Was it Biden?

When I check out a device in the store I definitely pick it up, hold it, turn it over, and generally look at every part of it. Things like a charging port on the bottom would probably stick out...

Or like in this case, with the power button on the bottom, I'd definitely notice that as annoying.

What software do they let you load?

Basically anything you want, they don't tend to watch you at the apple store, unless you seem like you actually want to buy something. They want you to mess around with the machines, so I've never seen them password protected in any way, you have admin access.

Users aren’t trying before they buy so the display is the most important aspect

Trying before you buy is literally the entire point of the apple store

Hey, I agree with you, the yuca mountain facility was literally built for that. And yet, even then there was enough nimby sentiment to prevent it from going into use. Just crazy.

What's amazing about this headline is that it's clearly inaccurate as they're confusing causation and correlation, but then at the same time, the correlation itself is completely obvious and hardly worth researching. Of course groups of different demographics behave differently, that's what the word "demographic" is all about.

Huh, weirdly I don't remember that. I remember having to uncheck a whole bunch of check boxes for browser extensions, toolbars, WinZip pro, etc. But I didn't remember that chrome was one of those. I'm sure you're right though.

And if somehow, despite that efficiency, we still have problems figuring out how to store that nuclear waste today. I know this ought to be a solvable problem, but we seem to struggle with it.
