Apple@hardware.watch•Apple unveils App Store Award winners, the best apps and games of 2023English

1·3 years agoIsn’t the lack of security due to poor security implementation rather than low-quality sensors? I don’t see why Apple can’t just use those same sensors but with their own security system.

1·3 years agoAnd I just want iPhones to have Touch ID (they could do it in the power button).
But for Face ID on Macs, I think that’s because the display sides of those aren’t thick enough for Face ID.

1·3 years agoNo, it’s because every tech subreddit has a hate boner for whoever is biased against their brand, especially if clickbait titles and cringe grins are involved. This sub hated Linus even before those allegations.

1·3 years agoTLDW: This video shows this device called the “Frore AirJet”, which is an active cooler that uses piezoelectrics rather than fans to push air through at 1700 pascals.
The Verge article on them: https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/27/23975368/frore-airjet-apple-macbook-air-fanless-mems
The LTT team had to do a lot of modifications (remove the speakers to use the speaker vents for airflow, and remove the MagSafe port, one USB-C port, the keyboard’s input cables, and the Wi-Fi antenna), but they were able to get the following results:

1·3 years agoI mean, Intel made those CPU versions available in the first place.



So, that would be less than $110,000,000 per annum (for iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and Apple Watches). If AirPods also use ARM SoCs (which is probably the case), then it could be 135M instead.
