If not already in the terms of service, I am sure there will be a line saying that Apple is not responsible for using their "find my service" for location services and that location based data is not to be considered accurate.

You mean Cloud Software Group. The investment company that bought Citrix for a pretty penny and then everyone started leaving on-premises for the cloud. So, now they are saying that people are going back on-premises. Well, that is not really the case. Some people are moving back on-premises because they didn't plan their cloud journey well enough and are not getting the expected performance and/or they didn't plan their costs correctly. CSG got rid of their base products and is forcing everyone to subscription licensing in a money grab. Of all the customers we had, every one except the hospitals (medical imaging just doesn't play well with full cloud because of performance) are moving away from Citrix and moving to Windows 365 or cloud VMs of some sort. Citrix is charging so much, they are not that expensive anymore in comparison. So, I would view this report as marketing focused as they are trying to keep their products relevant in the years to come.

Maybe his renewed effort is being subsidized by the Republican party, or members of, to make the original price profitable.

Electric vehicle charging stations should be like ATMs you see in the convenience stores. Let the local power company have a profit center service to deploy them and let individual companies have them available for a part of the profit. If people buy the electric vehicles and charging them is profitable, then you will see charging stations pop up everywhere without the need for government intervention.

The average salary of a triathlete is over $100k. They swim, then bike, then run. The shortest is a sprint and takes the average person (lots of people, not just competitive athletes do these) about 3 hours to complete. An Olympic distance is a 800 m swim, 25-30 mile bike ride, and a 10k run. A typical Apple watch will not last long enough for this distance for non-competitive triathletes. There are longer distances, 1/2 ironman and the full ironman (2m swim, 100 mile bike, and ends with a 26.2 mile marathon). The Garmin watch will survive a marathon with GPS active. That is the standard Apple wanted to fill with the ultra, it will last an Ironman Triathlon. If you need more that than, you are probably fit enough to bring a solar/battery charger with you. I charge my Fenix 5 while in the shower and then getting ready. It is the last item I put on before leaving the bedroom. That is my standard for chargeability, it should fully charge in that time for a typical daily usage. If I golfed and drained it further, usually after breakfast it is charged. Apple should have a max charge delivered in 45 minutes or less, that would be a phenomenal selling point for people who track everything they do daily and feel naked without their notifications on their wrist.

Yeah, we were outdoor power centers and strip malls, the indoor guys had it a lot rougher as far as effectively retenanting their space, but again I really doubt they spent a nanosecond worrying about what the mall across town thought about them lowering the $/sq ft on their space if they could get a deal done to keep an anchor and keep the space alive.

I'm trading my time for money, WFH gives me the ultimate perk, 20% of my time spent for my employer back as the commute time is eliminated. All the free coffee and subsidized lunches they could offer are but a pittance in comparison.

That might be true in commercial real-estate but I can tell you from a decade of doing retail IT that it's got butkis to do with things in shopping centers, what other companies care about isn't even a whiff of a concern. They're focused on total profit for the portfolio and occupancy rates, you do whatever deals need to be done to keep the centers full even if you know that it's not going to be super advantageous at the end of the 10 year period because as long as you have the retailers coming to you for space you'll get them back when they need space to expand and the market is tight. Now for commercial this might be a fundamental shift in the market where occupancy is never going to rebound, but you take the one time hit to mark to market your portfolio and recapitalize to redevelop the property or sell it at firesale prices to the bottom feeders in the market. I mean if occupancy is that low you're probably going to get called on your loan covenants by the banks anyways at some point, so waiting for them to do it for you has to be worse than just biting the bullet and renting it out at whatever the true market value is.

180C is apparently the hottest we've managed to run a heat pump:

Not yet commercially viable and just demonstrated in a lab unit within the last few years, so probably 5 years from running a demo plant. Still, I can see running such a pump as the input to a thermal battery as being a great proof of concept use case, there's no critical load depending on the heat output being available 24x7 so any need to tinker, troubleshoot, or maintain the prototype can easily be accomplished.

The extra magnets align the charging coil and receiving coil to minimize power loss and heat generation, it's actually a useful feature that I wish had been in the original Qi standard.

Just like the original law called for micro-USB, if technology comes along and there's a new superior plug format that would make sense to use to supplant USB-C then there will be a new updated law passed. For the next decade or more I think USB-C will be fine for phones, 240W and 80Gbps is going to be enough for quite some time.

Look at productivity vs real wages and you'll realize that the "union nonsense" has been a long time coming. The top 1% have reaped almost all the gains for FAR too long and now that the baby boomers are retiring there's a labor squeeze and the working class realizes that there's a once in several generation chance to seize back some of the gains for themselves. I'm sure that will lead to some further automation, but that was going to happen anyways as the technology developed (ie I've never seen a management type say we shouldn't implement this automation because it might cause someone to lose their job, quite the opposite) so getting some wage concessions now while the capitalists don't have much choice is the obvious good move.

Two clients downloading from Steam will easily saturate 2Gbps, if you've got a backup client on a few machines you can also easily saturate your upload bandwidth doing your backups. I mean sure, if all you want to do is browse the web and watch videos (even 4k), then it's massive overkill, but there's plenty of existing use cases where it will be useful at least some of the time, and if more people had the bandwidth there'd be even more since information is like a gas that expands to fill whatever container is available.

Hmm, distributed cache with sub-ms latencies, I wonder if they borrowed any code from FSX for Lustre since that sounds a lot like Lustre to me =)

Holy crap, they implement a full machine stack into an image file and used that virtual machine to carry out an attack on the memory on the host machine, that is bloody brilliant, someone was paying attention in their assembler class =)
