Intel stopped making memory in 1985. Everyone who ever did that work there is retired or dead today. Any random startup will have the same likelihood of success that Intel could ever hope for.

America is a big place. Common terminology in one place is unheard of in another, especially in the age before the internet.

I saw a discussion thread the other day about the word for a pile of blankets and pillows at a kids sleepover. Every Southerner knew the term “pallet”. Pretty much everyone else didn’t have a word for it at all, other than a “pile”.

The only reason to be impressed is that this person had the inspiration to think up the use case that got you excited until you realized it was vibe-coded.

I'm not a fan of vibe-coding but I see where it can solve those little issues around the edges of our lives that a fully self built "project" doesn't justify.

I can NEVER find a pen though. On the rare occasion I have a pen handy, not a scrap of unneeded paper to be found. Maybe I really do have ADHD....

Companies will try to make up lost sales by serving American "whales", especially in a luxury good like wine. I would expect prices to rise here in the short term and then the market will decide whether that means those of us outside the 1% stretch our budgets to keep buying or turn to the cheaper options.

Kind of like the Super Bowl and other major sporting events. Normies can make that their "major trip" for the year but mostly they want to sell their multi-thousand dollar tickets to folks who will be at the next big thing the following month.

In 2026, no politics usually means "we don't want you digging too deep into ours". Ask Ed Sheeran how well "no politics" works out.

Do you have any proof they don't?

And they will quickly return it when they realize their banking app doesn’t work and they can’t stream that sports package they subscribed to.

Apple was taking orders today. Maybe not in your region.

You’re right, Apple is calling it Burgundy. Previous leaks were calling it something or other cherry but it looks to be the same color.

It works with normies.

My wife just preordered an 18 pro. She’s the family photographer and is still on a 128gb iPhone 12, so it’s time for an upgrade and she fell in love with the cherry color.

She bought the 12 instead of the more appropriate 12 pro years ago because she loved the purple that she couldn’t get with a 12 pro.

Agreed. The photo backup is so seamless. I’ve been documenting my electronics and other possessions for insurance purposes and in anticipation of a move. It’s been so easy to go around the house taking photos of serial numbers and such with the better camera on my phone. Then I grab my iPad and update the spreadsheet. Nothing needed to happen on my end, the photos are just there for my iPad to access and as later proof if I ever need it.

It should be treated that way but we’re talking about elected prosecutors who are itching for an excuse to put people in prison rather than looking “soft on crime” by allowing people to live under house arrest.

That’s what a good executive costs these days. You could try to hire a CEO for $100,000/yr with the expected quality of applicants.

I carry my entire music library on my phone in Opus format. Smaller than a similar quality MP3 and good enough for the times I’m likely listening offline (working out, riding transit, on a plane).
