This will never happen, but the ideal laptop for me would be a Framework Laptop 13/16 with an Apple Silicon mainboard and OLED display.

The soldered RAM of the Framework Desktop has already opened the door to soldered RAM on Framework Laptop mainboards.

Local LLM use isn't really continuous though. You're comparing Apples to oranges.

For training especially and for the datacenter, NVIDIA cards still make absolute sense. But for consumer use cases, and even for developers, it's not so cut and dry. Very comparable performance for short-term bursts of compute.

Mac never had a 30-pin adapter, so lightning makes no sense. Mac also had Thunderbolt 2 with the miniDP port, and switched to Thunderbolt 3 with a USB-C port.

On a server, absolutely. On a desktop, the user is usually the administrator anyways. UAC exists on Windows land and the Administrator account is disabled for a reason.

Apple adds FeliCa and NFC radios to all iPhones worldwide. Only Android phones sold in Japan have FeliCa radios, worldwide models only have a NFC radio.

Reminder that Purism cannot be trusted to actually ship hardware or issue refunds. You've been warned.

> It can even be enabled for regular Safari browsing. On the iPhone, open the Settings app, tap Safari → Advanced → Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection, and select All Browsing. Users can also turn off the feature in this menu if they prefer not to use it at all.

This is because ICOCA/PASMO/Suica use FeliCa rather than NFC for data. All iPhones have both FeliCa and NFC. Only Japanese Android phones would bother added FeliCa.

I have the opposite opinion for macOS shortcuts vs Linux/Windows/IBM shortcuts.

Practically everything is handled with Cmd, with Option/Shift/Control being modifiers. It's the exception if something is handled exclusively with Option/Shift/Control, example being web browsers and Finder for tabs. Text selection is superior in macOS, and anyone who argues PgUp/PgDn/Home/End being a better solution in combination with Shift and Ctrl is insane. Depending on the port of a 3rd-party application, it may adopt macOS shortcuts and be consistent with everything else, or keep IBM/Windows-style shortcuts and break compatibility with other apps.

You can do AR experiences. The point of the whole article is to showcase app developers who have existing apps getting their apps up and running quickly.

Unless you're accustomed to them being on the left, in which being on the right is the weird thing.

Red means stop, yellow means slow/yield, green means go, which in the context of window management doesn't make sense, but if you think about it differently, a good 40% of it makes sense. Red means stop existing, yellow means yield to other windows, and green means... go big?

I love what the company is doing and I really want to support their business, but I just can't get away from macOS.

Hackintoshes aren't super viable anymore, so I have a pie-in-the-sky hope that there will be a viable general arm64 chip for laptops that one day Framework could adopt for Windows-on-ARM and Linux, and that someone will get macOS working on it.
