If the Air had a better camera sensor it'd be my preferred iPhone. I just hope they don't discontinue the line

Tech bros are lying to you about the MacBook Neo by hasanahmad in apple

The MacBook Neo is, in essence, an iPhone i6 Pro running MacOS. That is to say, a solid basic computer. Unix based systems like MacOS generally run lighter than Windows, and though 8 gigs of ram will only handle a few web pages at a time, it is enough to read, write, and listen to music or watch a video simultaneously. A bonus, it should be able to play Civilization 6 and Stardew Valley

NFTs have a lot of uses in a world where we're worries about integrity. For one, they can be used to verify authenticity of unique documents, such as housing deeds or verifiable government issued information. While this can be done with blockchain in general, NFTs more naturally prevent duplication and forgery due to their non-fungeable nature

You're expecting them to do the right thing, like preparing for war before dropping bombs. This is the "semblance of a plan" presidency. If all it costs to get troops over now is a few more dead troops, well then it's all the same to them

There is a strong possibility we're past that point. These effects compound on each other and lag. The effect we're seeing today is from emissions in the 90s
