To put it simply: Apple Silicon is Mac minis are impossible to find. There’s a variety of reasons for this – like OpenClaw and other computer-use agents. But there’s also a group of people buying up high-end Macs with swaths of unified memory, which are incredible for running local LLMs. While I’m sure Apple appreciates the additional hardware sales, I think they could push this even further – by…

The Jessica Chastain thriller series, The Savant , was originally set to air on Apple TV last September. However, the company decided to cancel the release at the eleventh hour. Star Jessica Chastain said she was ‘not aligned’ with Apple on the decision. As months passed, many doubted if the series would ever make it to air. But finally, Chastain herself confirmed to Variety that “we’re going to …

Apple has a chip problem. MacBook Neo is selling far better than the company had expected , and now it seems like there aren’t enough binned A18 Pro chips to keep the production run going for another 6-12 months before a new version is released. Some have floated the idea of Apple axing the 256GB trim, and just using an unbinned A18 Pro chip in the 512GB trim. That’s certainly plausible. I do won…

I love MagSafe batteries and by this point, I have probably tested hundreds of them. There are plenty of great options out there with different capacities, charging speeds, built-in cables, and diagnostic displays, and there seems to be a MagSafe battery variant for any situation. But the feature I like most is thinness. While it’s great to have 10,000 mAh in a battery, that adds too much extra b…
