ThinkPad T14s AMD Gen 1: Workhorse that does the business – and dares you to push that red button

No ThunderBolt? No deal.

Apple reportedly planning to revive the MagSafe charging standard with the next lot of MacBook Pros

The best thing Apple did - without which this progress would not be possible - was part ways with Jonny Ive.

It was under Ive's tenure that the butterfly keyboard was redesigned (twice!). Rumors have it he was unwilling to budge on more and more issues, chasing thinness over everything else. I can imagine Apple getting to the point where they realized there was no longer a role for him.

To be honest, my M1 MacBook Air is either docked in my home office (which you can't trip over, because it's stuck to the table) or if I'm out and about the battery life is so long I wouldn't need the power brick, even over the course of a whole work day.

MagSafe was more useful when you needed to take your power brick with you, because in those days the battery life was as little as 2-4 hours in many laptops.

Loser Trump is no longer useful to Twitter, entire account deleted over fears he'll whip up more mayhem

Re: Now they shut down his voice. Is that right?

There’s a big difference between your website and a website that’s used as an International social and political platform. And websites like Twitter are used as social and political platforms. As much as Trump is a weirdo I can’t condone Twitter’s decision here.

If you’re going to play in that ballpark you need to act accordingly. Deleting elected national leaders just because you disagree with them is not the right way to go

In years to come, to Google something will have two meanings:

1. To type something into a search engine

2. To cancel something.
