The Joint Photographic Experts Group manages many standards, generally each called "JPEG [something]". The one we most commonly call "JPEG" is just one of them.

Why weren't they "battery limited" when they were making more cars?

Particularly when considering that each of their cars does have a human backup driver who should be taking over to avoid crashes. How much worse would the cars be unsupervised?

We really need more granular notification settings already. I want to to know when my Lyft is arriving. I want to know when my food's been delivered. I don't want to know that I can get 10% off something for the next hour.

Apparently in the new beta the Wallet app actually does let you disable promotional notifications, so that's a start. Now do every other app.

I don't believe the built in virtualization framework supports emulation, but you can do this with QEMU. An easy way to get started is with UTM:

Poster specifically mentioned CS3, which was a perpetual license. Adobe is not incentivized to keep a version of their software someone purchased once seventeen years ago working when they would much rather sell a monthly subscription.

Not really. The only generation of Xbox that was competitive was the 360, which still came in third in sales, just not as distantly.

The Washington Post has endorsed a candidate every election cycle since 1976, with the exception of 1988. The New York Times has endorsed a candidate in every presidential election since its founding in 1851.

This is (only a few years later than the rest of the world's) state-of-the-art manufacturing, built only with the expertise of a Taiwanese company, that relies on the technology of a Dutch company, that in turn purchased (and has since monopolized) its IP from another US company, twenty years ago, and only then because a number of other companies (notably Canon and Nikon, both in Japan) were excluded from using it.

It is not something to be celebrated. What TSMC and ASML are doing is amazing, but we could be so much further ahead.

That ASML is not undercutting TSMC and running off on their own should be telling? There's more to a running a fab than lithography.

Not even. The only device still in production using the A16 is the iPhone 15 (and plus if you consider that a different model).
