Or it could be the same CPU as in pro/max with more GPU chiplets.

Sure.

AI workloads would really benefit from having more RAM, GPU cores, and memory channels.

Something tells me this mentality is how Apple ended up with thousands of idling Private Cloud Compute servers.

But sure, more GPU cores will definitely fix it this time.

When I try to launch system settings through spotlight, it launches system info. They have the same prefix, but that's no excuse. Never happened since Tiger or so.

Lolololo okay if they're gonna stick a CWIS on the Amazon datacenter then we all get on mounted on our rooves too cause I certainly pay my taxes.

There's also the fact that Amazon et al tax haven it up.

Except if you live in Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis, yes, I agree with you.

In both Paris and Anaheim they could double the park space by moving parking underground :)

> one of the biggest overall dangers of this technology aside from mass unemployment and making my RAM cost too much.

That's a beauty.

Just tried with Lightroom - sometimes the pointer changes, sometimes it doesn't and stays as the normal arrow. Sometimes it allows resizing in height and width, other times only one of them.

what about iCloud and News?

I was specifically referring to ads for third party applications in the start menu, so you’re technically correct and I should have been more specific. I’d argue that those are upsells for the OS to enhance existing apps and systems. Not my favorite, but preferable to windows telling me to install candy crush in the start menu.

Rumors = the author just made something up

Similarly:

Leaks = the author just made something up, but now it ranks extra highly when someone searches for "[upcoming thing] leaks"

I hate the term "leak". It used to have meaning.

Now, it's either a fancy term for "announcement", or people use it synonymously with "rumor".

China blocked (many) US companies though, that enabled/forced the local companies to fill the void.

That's my point. This was a decision by China. European countries were happy to just let the US in and not have to worry about building their own alternative versions of the US services.

Now the same EU countries are waking up and realizing that having pieces of your digital infrastructure in someone else's hands was bad bet but unfortunately, it will take decades to build the same thing in the EU.
