@siracusa I’m guessing someone has already sent you this, but just in case: https://www.atheistfrontier.com/glossary/allballs.pl

I was so close. I even considered suggesting Hyperspace!
@siracusa this also sets up a naming scheme for future hard-to-name apps.
@kornel @xek now I’m imagining someone pulling up to a charging station in their EV and the car dies just a few meters away, but they’re able to get that last bit by shunting power from their Apple Watch. Like on Star Trek, when they can just reallocate power from other systems and sources to wherever it’s needed.
@Alphacheez Moore’s law is about transistor count per cost. Nothing to do with clock speed, and only indirectly with performance. (That said, it _has_ slowed.)
@siracusa should name his deduplication app “Hyperstorage.”

Dear Apple Intelligence,

No.

I have bought the new Pro Max iPhone every year for the past several. This year, I’m not sure I need a Pro anymore. That blue on the regular 16 is _gorgeous_, and while bragging rights are great and all, I’m not a gamer or a pro videographer or anything like that. The only thing I think I’d actually miss out on is 5x zoom.

@gruber you asked for a PC laptop with a retina screen for u der $700.

Here’s a 4k, 16” piece of trash for $299 (after $40 coupon).
