They could if they wanted to, I’m a bit surprised that they didn’t add it with this big new MBP generation.

Especially now that they have their own modem and wouldn’t need to pay whatever royalties Qualcomm would demand, which I’ve read are based on the device price and would get very high on a premium laptop.

And then make sure to never have any memory loss or you’ll lose all your money too.

Agreed, I'd go for a setting where each page could have exactly one HDRed item

I doubt there's much difference because of the adaptive refresh rate, it runs at a lower rate most of the time and only uses 120 when it decides that would be useful.

But if you really don't want it, Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Limit Frame Rate will cap it at 60.

There's also an option to prefer page rendering updates near 60 hz buried in Safari's feature flags settings. This one defaults to on, presumably to protect the battery life from asshole web developers and advertisers.

If you have any devices with a faster screen, you can see them side-by-side on https://testufo.com/

Not a blind test, but the smoothness when tracking a moving object is very obvious

It's not the phone deciding to do it, when the device connects the car is telling it to play. Check your infotainment settings to see if there's a way to turn it off.

Apple doesn't have an official way to prevent it, but I think you could do it with Shortcuts and an automation to pause music triggered by "When CarPlay is connected."

If it's tricky to get it to trigger at the exact time it starts playing, you could even do like:

  - Store media volume to a variable
  - Set media volume to 0
  - Wait 3 seconds
  - Stop playing
  - Restore original media volume

Forwarding notifications from a Mac sounds like a problem that somebody will solve, I do agree about FaceID though. I "downgraded" from an iPad Pro to an iPad Air and it's been great to have TouchID instead.

Certainly not the US, we only get the Golf R and GTI here and they're not particularly popular

For EVs, the e-Golf has been dead for years but they may bring the name back to electric as an id.Golf next time

Can I take that bet on the one that does flips?

That's their point, we can't assume model capabilities will go up linearly forever just because they have increased quickly in the past

I'm skeptical that normal users are expected to operate Guided Access. It's fairly awkward.

Yes, that's what I was going for
