- I think the logical configs are pretty obvious. — 10+4/36GB $2k — 12+4/48GB $2.5k — 20+4/72GB $4k — 24+4/96GB $5k — I don't think they're going to do 8 E cores, that seems kind of pointless. Main thing I don't know is what they are going to do port wise, keep the USB-A, switch to USB-C or switch to Thunderbolt (on the Ultra). … @paul@tapbots.social
- Put another way, the Nintendo Switch is super successful, selling ~145 million units so far. — Steam's monthly player count is estimated around 120-140 million. — And this doesn't count PC gamers buying from the EA store, GOG, UbiSoft, Microsoft, or direct from publishers. … @matt@isfeeling.social · Matt Birchler
- The Mac mini is not a console by any stretch, but it is a more capable gaming PC than Apple's maybe ever had at the lrice point. — And don't underestimate the size of the PC gaming market. There are more people playing games on Steam right now than there are people in the world who own an Xbox Series S or X combined. … @matt@isfeeling.social · Matt Birchler

The “type to Siri” gesture in iOS 18.1 being a double tap at the bottom of the screen is truly terrible UX for people who are fast typers on an iPhone or especially iPad who frequently enable it just by pressing the space bar twice to start a new sentence. Had to turn it off.

YES! Just like CarPlay, I want to upgrade the power and capability of the brains without replacing the headset until there are optical reasons to. — https://mastodon.online/...

This will be the first time I upgrade since my current M1 Max 16" MacBook Pro, and it'll be for two reason: #1: Tandem OLED display which is the best tablet/laptop display tech in the world. Also dramatically lowers pixel response time so ProMotion is smoother. #2: Redesign
