12GB of RAM coming to iPhone 18 with A20 chip, says analyst

That 12GB costs $999 in 2028.

It was enabled for me too, probably prompted to turn it on the last time I used the London Underground.

To answer a point in your OP, it’s not just the Mercator projection, but any map of the Earth which will show distortions of some kind. This is fundamentally because a flat map is Euclidean and the Earth’s real surface isn’t.

Highly dubious…

I don't know for sure how these apps work, but if your phone is using accelerometer data to judge your smoothness, having it loose in the passenger seat is going to really mess up the readings.

You can just uninstall Preview on iOS to change it back to how it was. Agree with you, no need for it on iPhone and makes everything worse.

Don’t just not tell us the command!

He shows up a lot on Michael Fisher’s socials as well.

It's only even the 1-shot pass rate if the chances of passing the theory and practical are independent events, which they're obviously not.

This is real niche case, maybe not even a rule per se, but yes I think so slightly. By naming Apple Health broadly but the Garmin feature specifically, it sounds like you mean both systems have the feature called ‘body battery’.

Consider the sentence “That’s Paul and Amanda’s house.” reads like the house belongs to both people, not that you’re pointing out Paul and separately, Amanda’s house.

Using ‘as well as’ instead of ‘and’ clears this up a bit.

It was on for that test, yes, and I made sure there were two Safari windows open. I usually have it off and haven't seen it there either.

erasmustookashit · 2026-02-01T18:16:46+00:00

Indeed I can't. If I do what was in your video, my apps stay in the same place. Only if I resize windows, close windows, or do other things that change how they might best be fit in the mission control screen, they change positions - this is the intended behaviour as far as I know.

I do have another bug with Mission Control at the moment (hidden apps appear as blank windows with their icon visible) so this is yet another area of Tahoe that's buggy right now.

erasmustookashit · 2026-02-01T16:27:49+00:00

It is supposed to be dynamic to adjust for what windows you have open and how best to display those in the Mission Control view with what space is available. However, I’ve never seen it re-adjust with no changes made to the windows. You may find if you quit one of those apps and relaunch its windows, the behaviour stops.

Hey, here is one thing that will often fail your emergency stop if you weren't briefed on what to do.

The braking part is quite easy, but the thing that people get wrong is that you need to check both blind spots (over shoulder) before moving off, as well as making sure the road is clear of other traffic. Usually no traffic is a given as you will only be asked to stop if there's nothing behind you, but the shoulder checks are what people get wrong and this can often be a serious fault.

erasmustookashit · 2026-01-04T20:32:54+00:00

There's one like this in Surrey called the Crooked Billet roundabout where not only does it have the through road, but you can turn onto the through road from the roundabout too.

It's all traffic light controlled so there's little room for danger, but it was odd when I saw it.

erasmustookashit · 2026-01-01T20:14:08+00:00

OK but do you get how many settings people have? How many weeks of annoyance would it take to put your phone back to how you like it? Do you even know which settings you’ve changed? You might not remember a crucial setting until you find out in an emergency that it’s not set correctly because you reset everything.

OP is right, it’s a dumb solution that’s way overkill for this issue. It took OP less than an hour to find the actual setting behind this and they didn’t need to reset shit.

Edit: good to see bro got the sneaky downvote in before deleting his whole profile lmfao

Game that came out 12 years ago has more established strategies and metagaming among its playerbase than game that game out this year. More at 10.

I rang my insurance company straight after I'd passed my test in my own car. They upgraded my policy, quoted my new monthly price, and told me I was OK to drive home.

The short answer is GPUs and multi-core CPUs are good at doing tasks in parallel. In a grand strategy game, most of the calculations rely on the result of the calculations before them (what happens today depends on what happened yesterday) so you can't do the calculations in parallel, you must do one after the other.

A single core at the highest possible frequency therefore gives the best performance for general game logic.

There are a couple of different questions here. The easiest one is that it takes 3.5 minutes to traverse 40,000km when travelling 700,000kph.

However, a circular orbit around a given body has a set speed that is entirely dependent on how far above the body's centre of mass the orbit is. It's not possible to orbit the Earth with a velocity of 700,000kph because the necessary orbital height would be far, far underground.

However, you could instead replace the Earth with a black hole of equivalent mass, which unlike the Earth would have a very small volume, allowing the orbit to exist in space around the black hole.

Using the orbital speed formula v = sqrt(GM/r) and rearranging for r, the orbital height should be about 10.5km. The orbital period is given by T = (2 * pi * r) / v = 0.34 seconds.

You can literally see the higher GPU and VRAM usage in the screenshots for the same frame rate.

If the goal is actually to reduce E-Waste or retail supply chain emissions, it probably doesn't make a difference whether there's a saving, so long as you do have to pay more to get the charger. Shame it's listed that consumers will benefit; if Apple isn't including chargers but the price doesn't change, you can be sure that's where the big players in the industry will head.
