Except it’s supposed to launch in 2029 at the earliest?

Whose else would they be?

Speaking as a SWE manager who explicitly “mandates” (not actually mandatory but I strongly encourage following your passions and interests in an academic kind of way!) we do exist, I assume I’m not the only one :)

My team almost always can find an hour between tasks organically so I’ve never really had to push

No Magsafe on the M1. The USB ports are actually Thunderbolt 3 but the target customer does not care about that or even knows what Thunderbolt is. I think the main upgrade is the A18 Pro is about 50% faster in single core and matches the M1 in multicore. Which is going to make everything feel a lot snappier for the kind of tasks they're targeting. Plus I think the $100 upgrade to double the storage space and get Touch ID is actually going to be pretty popular.

The body, size, weight, shape of the Neo is almost exactly the same as the current Macbook Air. What are you talking about?

Pretty sure this is AI written or at least assisted. “It’s not just X, it’s Y. And the foo? It bazzed.”

Honestly hard to disagree with what the message is but I can’t really take him intellectually seriously even with an obvious premise with such lazy writing

I feel like most use cases are more latency-bound than bandwidth-bound today. I could be wrong, maybe I'm not thinking big enough :)

Everyone responding to you earnestly without understanding the joke... lol

Well... they're not really "making" an astrology product. They're an engineer "making" an application backend. It's almost kind of irrelevant what it's being used for in this context (a relatively technical discussion on the merits of a language).

They're not automatically turning on if you're "turning them off" from Control Center. Those buttons just temporarily disable them (and state that clearly when you do so). The only way to actually turn off Wifi and Bluetooth is to go into Settings and turn them off there.
