I feel like Apple wouldn't want to make full Linux work on their hardware, but they could enable their Darwin kernel to emulate Linux syscalls and provide a way to boot into a mode that basically loads the kernel and whatever Linux shell you want
I'm going to echo what others have said, Xcode will run on 8GB but the moment you need simulators or iOS canvas previews it will need more memory. You can probably get by on the Neo, but it won't be ideal. I suggest an M4 Mac mini instead.
The option to opt out is effectively the same as charging to include one, unless you include the variation where you can opt out and pay the same price to not get one.
You know how we know its not that because its 3,599 without the power adapter and 3,678 with it which of those prices seems like the intentional cost of the machine
I believe most franchises originally started recording something like “will you be using your mobile app today?” because of the corporate promo where you’d get something for free if they didn’t mention the app.
Huge win on the name change. I'm never going to install an app called Pingstalker on my computer, it would feel gross and I'd worry other people might see it and be alarmed by it.
A tractor does exactly what you tell it to do though - you turn it on, steer it in a direction, and it goes. I like the horse metaphor for AI better: still useful, but sometimes unpredictable, and needs constant supervision.
The horse metaphor would also do, but it's very tied to the current state of LLMs (which by the way is already far beyond what they were in 2024). It also doesn't capture that horses are what they are, they're not improving and certainly not by a factor of 10, 100 or 1000, while there is almost no limit to the amount of power that an engine can be built to produce. Horses (and oxen) have been available for thousands of years, and agriculture still needed to employ a large percentage of the population. This changed completely with the petrol engines.
