I don't know.

Had to log back into this account for old times' sake: iPhone weight comparison. You can tell when Apple switched from steel to aluminum (5, 12, 14 plus) or titanium (15 pro/pro max).

@annajanejoyner Not sure if it “meaningfully portrays” climate per se, but I found Becky Chambers’ _A Psalm For the Wild-Built_ to be just as advertised: a nice cup of tea for anyone who could use a break. Set in an alternate world, post-planetary crisis, after wise collective decisions.

@alexwlchan Yes! I finished the Wayfarers series reading them to my friend. I think The Galaxy and the Ground Within was my favorite (Akaraks <3), although I think of RoaSF the most often considering the specific way it makes me think about society and our, you know, *gestures vaguely*

Anyways, I made the mistake of scrolling down and seeing some user reviews of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, and usually the sort of ignorant garbage you see all over the web doesn't get to me, but I'm about 2/3 of the way through the book, and in this case it really did.

Please say yes. Then I can stop buying ancient chargers for my 8 year old laptop every time they split near the connector.

So… is it the same MagSafe?

Man, that seems like... such a waste of a gorgeous hardware design. youtube.com/watch?v=wnf6Nw…

As always, Charlie’s tone is whatever it’s going to be, but the technical details are interesting.

Wow, this product is far more interesting and complex to summarize than I thought it was going to be.

Hard to represent in one screenshot, but interesting that the SOC is - mostly - not directly under the heatsinks. There's enough space shown for a vapor chamber, but it's not shown. Will be interesting to see max TDP. Sub 200W certainly.

Interesting airflow pattern here. I assume the back-to-front flow shown is fairly minor and used to cool the "back" of the mobo, and most air just goes around and up into the blowers.

Anyway, this got long, but I logged on here to write @alexwlchan a thank you for the recommendation, probably years ago now. I think this will be my favorite book, on a personal level. In some ways, it's the book I'd want to have written.

It takes a rich and complicated universe and shows you the love in it. That's my review. That's what I wanted. (And sure, it's worldbuilding-with-a-side-of-plot at first - that's exactly how I write, too, so that's perfect for me.)
