@thomasmaheronf1 These things should be applied during the race. They have the tech to do that

Max Verstappen has been given a five second time penalty for crossing the white line on pit exit, following a lengthy investigation. #F1 #MiamiGP

all modern CAT rated and certified cables are safe to install in interior walls—aside from proving they can move the speeds they say they do, that’s the whole point of rating & certifying. i would recommend CAT5e and above for modern applications. as for POE, 5e can handle the basic version. above that, CAT6+ should be fine

@TracketPacer Ok so serious question… can you recommend a cat that will safely run through interior walls and is ok for Poe. Have UniFi switches and it’s to connect to Apple TV as well as a Poe cam

To me, the Mac mini now starting at $799 instead of $599 is obviously a price increase. Sure, the 512GB configuration did not receive a price increase, but the Mac mini product line as a whole did. You can't buy a Mac mini for $599 anymore. This is very straightforward.

@rsgnl @mweinbach I see where Max is coming from. It’s more of an analysts opinion not a consumer opinion. Consumers don’t see things as SKU etc they just want to know ‘hey how much am I going to pay to become part of the Apple ecosystem’. That’s now increased. The $599 mini was an amazing price.

@Metaphor @mweinbach I agree, but there is no reconciling this seemingly. Max and others are viewing this at the SKU level and we are viewing this at the product level. I guess everyone is right. No price increase at SKU level. Price increase at product level.

@mweinbach @rsgnl Here is the thing. Entry Mac mini at $599 is now not an option. Can’t blame Apple for that they clearly have supply and cost issues as other companies do. But. Practically the price of entry into that product line has increased. So you can clearly call that a price increase.

@rsgnl No An increase means you take the same product and increase the price This is a different SKU, it is a different price. The starting price is higher, but it is not the same physical unit that cost more. You know exactly what I’m saying

@rsgnl Yeah and specifically consumers see it as a price increase and experience it as a price increase.

So what I'm hearing from Tim Cook here is the Mac Studio and Mac Mini will take several months for a supply demand balance Demand is from AI and agentic AI, that's insane and definitely unexpected for them

I’m purposely choosing to not watch this… but I couldn’t help but watch about 30 seconds of it. IOI has really understood that if you want to do a Bond game in 2026, you have to treat it with the same level of prestige and reverence as the films and they’re nailing it.

Also, obviously this increase of MacBook Air makes a lot of room for a cheaper MacBook to come into the line up.

I wish the Pro Max could be thinner. That's the real future! I would love a thin iPhone, but I would likely regret the iPhone Air over time. Battery life is paramount, so I am leaning towards the iPhone 17 Pro Max + Anker Slim MagSafe Battery.
