The screen sharing is also missing basic features every other video conferencing app has. A huge one is being able to share part of your screen. You can either share a window or an entire screen, but often I want to show multiple windows. I have a 21:9 5k2k screen, if I share my entire screen no one who is working from a laptop can see what I’m doing. Just let me share an area of the screen to share.

Trump is 78 years old. The average life expectancy for males in the US is 74.8 years.

And this why I have a PS5.

Weird story. If they needed rescuing and had cell coverage why would they need to wait for an incoming call?

Windows doesn’t run Xcode. macOS does run Office.

These are enterprise drives, they aren’t going to contain anything pirated. They are probably going to one of those cloud providers you don’t want to upload your data to.

I'd want to be able to lose two drives in an array before I lose all my shit. So RAID 6 for me.

Repeat after me: RAID is not a backup solution, RAID is a high-availability solution.

The point of RAID is not to safeguard your data, you need proper backups for that (3-2-1 rule of backups: 3 copies of the data on 2 different storage media, with 1 copy off-site). RAID will not protect your data from deletion from user error, malware, OS bugs, or anything like that.

The point of RAID is so everyone can keep working if there is a hardware failure. It’s there to prevent downtime.

You don't define the norm with characteristics of edge cases.

Exactly. So what are you made of, hydrogen or helium?

Something I’ve never done, or wanted to do, in my life.

If it's wafer thin it isn't going to fit the battery I want it to fit.

Personally I don’t care about the size of the battery, I care about how long it lasts. There have been rumors that Apple is working on improved battery tech. Their SoCs are also crazy efficient and super fast.

What I expect to happen is that they will equip the iPhone Air with this next-gen battery tech (probably not a massive improvement, but something like 10-20% more energy in the same volume would already be a big win), combined with a throttled down SoC with fewer cores (still plenty fast for anyone but the most demanding users), that will allow them to reduce power usage by a lot. Add to that the already excellent power-management in iOS, maybe tweaked a little more aggressively, and they’ll have a phone that’s super thin and lasts all day.

People will hold this phone for 3 seconds and be sold.

A wafer thin iPhone won’t be shit though. It will be slick as shit. Sure, there will probably be compromises and it won’t be suitable for the most demanding users, but most people aren’t that demanding of their phone. As long as it manages to get through one day it’ll be good enough.

Don’t underestimate how important the size, weight, build quality and design is to the user experience. I have a 13” M4 iPad Pro which is also crazy thin yet feels absolutely solid and that makes it look and feel like a magical piece of technology. It has a huge impact on how it feels and that is ultimately what matters to people. Not the specs or the benchmarks, but how it feels to use it.

Slim phones are coming, but most of you don't want them

Our polls show that, if anything, you want thicker phones.

Yeah, some poll on a site for tech nerds is not really representative of the general public. Thick phones with huge batteries exist and they sell like shit, it’s a super niche market.

Expect these thin phones to sell like hotcakes.
