    Apple MacBook Neo review: Can a Mac get by with an iPhone’s processor inside?

    The SOC allowed for only one USB port, and that's the USB 3 port. They cobbled together the remaining resources of the chip to create the second port. By all accounts, none of this was part of "design policy" when the chip was originally designed for the iPhone.

    Apple MacBook Neo review: Can a Mac get by with an iPhone’s processor inside?

    “It doesn’t feel safe”—Many international game developers plan to skip GDC in US

    All of that is true, but the real motivation for people who want abortion banned in the U.S. is to punish women who have sex for pleasure. You can't reason with them.

    RFK Jr. can promote getting measles with impunity, DOJ lawyer tells judge

    I grew up before the vaccine and I remember that it was believed it was better to get chickenpox as a child than to get it as an adult, so the parties seemed to make some sense at the time, before the vaccine. Strangely, the CDC website still recommends getting the vaccine and warns against...

    Trump FCC chair: Paramount/Warner Bros. merger likely to get quick approval

    And as far as I can see, a Netflix/Warners merger wouldn't involve any FCC oversight at all. So why is Carr expressing an opinion on the defunct Netflix deal when it has nothing to do with his agency?

    Netflix cedes Warner Bros. Discovery to Paramount: “No longer financially attractive”

    If you genuinely wanted to stick it to them you'd cancel HBO, forget the eye patxh and just stop watching. So I suspect your comment is more about the eye patch than sticking it to them.
