New comment by angst in "Trump pardons convicted Binance founder"

“Today you pardoned the founder of Binance,” Collins began. “Can you explain why you chose to pardon him, and did it have anything to do with his involvement in your family's —

“Which one, who was that?” Trump asked.

“The founder of Binance,” Collins continued. “He has involvement in your own family’s crypto business.”

“The recent one? I believe we’re talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people,” Trump said. “I don’t know. He was recommended by a lot of people. A lot of people say that — Are you talking about the crypto person? A lot of people say he wasn’t guilty of anything, he served four months in jail, and they say that he wasn’t guilty of anything.”

As Collins attempted to clarify, Trump jumped in, saying, “Well, you don’t know much about crypto — you know nothing about nothing, you fake news!”

Trump then continued answering the question.

“He was somebody, as I was told — I don’t believe I have ever met him — but I’ve been told he had a lot of support. And they said what he did is not even a crime. That he was persecuted by the Biden administration. And so I gave him a pardon at the request of some very good people.”

New comment by angst in "Apple's most powerful desktop cannot install latest version of macOS"

Several users that own a Mac Studio with Apple's M3 Ultra chip have reported that their desktop cannot install macOS 26 Tahoe, the latest version of macOS. This is apparently due to a bug that may relate to an inability to properly recognize the machine's neural engine.

same CPU, likely a different TDP setting.

This comparison uses hp G1a but I imagine it wouldnt be too far off from GMKtec: https://www.phoronix.com/review/framework-desktop-linux/9

Framework can be fed with more power to support better sustained performance is my understanding.
