Apple Working on 20.5-Inch All-Screen Foldable Notebook for 2025


it is still hard for me to get excited about tablet computers.  This is described as a notebook, so does that make it a laptop replacement?  If so, why would I need a laptop with no keyboard?

BUY The M2 Mac mini! (It's basically a $599 Mac Pro...)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXHxY2i9w9Y

I'm a little frustrated. The $600 price is good, but the slower SSD, inadequate memory and storage are like a slap in the face. The excessive cost of upgrading is an insult. If they think that I am going to pay $200 for an additional 8 gigs of RAM or $200 for an additional 256 gigs of SDD, well count me out.
For the cost of the computer with upgrades, say an additional $400, I could get a really nice PC with more memory and storage.  
As good as the computer may be, I feel that it makes Apple look uncompetitive. In the year 2023 and beyond, having only 8 gigs of RAM or 256 gigs of storage are not valid options, unless you are just a basic computer user, in which case why are you buying an M2 chip? This mismatch between power, storage and memory is a paradoxical attempt to get you to spend more money.

ChatGPT

What is Climate Alarmism?

Climate alarmism refers to the belief that the potential impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and loss of biodiversity, are so severe that immediate and drastic action is needed to address the issue. It is often used to describe those who are seen as exaggerating or overstating the potential impacts of climate change, and who may be viewed as overly alarmist or sensationalist in their messaging.




So far I am not as impressed with ChatGPT.  Its primary skill is to take web information available elsewhere and condense it into a few paragraphs of text.  

I asked it some machine code programming questions which it failed miserably even though it claims to know how to do this.
