Not sure if all, but some (Clicks i am sure) will offer touch-sensitive keyboards where you can swipe over keyboard to apply gestures as if was the screen itself, so its not such a dead space if you are not typing.

You can still navigate by interacting with the lower half.

There is a wave of 'blackberry-like' android phones coming soon (4:3 screen + qwerty keyboard) - Unihertz Titan 2, Clicks Communicator, Minimal Phone 2 to name a few.

What about the complete opposite? Has anyone successfully used literate programming, perhaps even emulating Euclid's Elements, where you provide all the definitions (the precise meaning of concepts), postulates (system assumptions), common concepts (logical rules), propositions (functions), and implementations? Capturing all the logic in a document.

I can't imagine being an American approaching retirement with 45-50% of my pension portfolio in AI-related stocks (that's the current weight of AI companies on the SP500). Besides, when SpaceX/Openai/Anthropic go public, they'll get another hefty chunk.

It has 8gb ram because the A18 pro chip has that baked in. They won't spend money on redesigning.

If next iteration has A19 pro chip in it - it will have 12gb.

The 8 GB and lack of expandability are due to the design of the Neo chip. This is a pre-built A18 Pro chip with 8 GB of RAM built in.

I imagine the next version will have the A19 Pro chip - which has 12 GB of RAM.

I cant stand it connecting app instances into 1 group. If i have 2 excel files open on Desktop 1, and then i try opening 3rd on Desktop2 -> it will jump back to Desktop 1 and open it there.

I agree. It seems they don't produce as many titles as other streaming platforms, but what comes out is rather good.

Install "Claude for Excel" addon directly in the Excel itself. Works well.

Even Copilot in Excel is actually "Claude Code for Excel" in disguise.
