That's why the annual predictability of same form factor, slightly faster processor, slightly nicer display, slightly better camera is so comforting to us. Bless.

P'shaw! What do old people know aboot tech?

I was going to get a Duo, but now think I'll hold off and upgrade to an 18 Pro Max instead. Gruber's "it's a great tablet but a lousy phone" take seems about right to me. Daring FireballThe iPhone DuoIt’s been a lot of fun trying the Duo out for a week, but it feels like I’ve gotten to use an extraordinarily polished prototype — not a finished product that I’d want to buy and carry.

It's only 100$ more than the Fold 8, and it's currently right in the middle of Z Fold 8 Ultra prices at 256/512/1TB models. The 2TB model is dear, but that's the market + Apple tax. Definitely pricey, but it's not necessarily out of line with other foldables. I think developers will have decent builds out of the gate with something rather solid sooner than people expect. I love messages/emails with my Fold 5 open. Don't do tons of side by side or top/bottom apps, but when I do it typically is a smooth process.

I read the news that Sony shipped their last 4K Blu-ray player today, the UBP-X700. Panasonic is the last remaining mainstream manufacturer (Magnetar is niche and overpriced, in my opinion). https://www.tomsguide.com/tvs/sony-just-killed-its-last-4k-blu-ray-player-here-are-3-remaining-alternatives

The price of the Duo is just insane. Only rich first adopters are going for it. Economies of scale and further development should mean the costs will go down (and more apps will fully support Duos out of the box). I think iOS itself will take a while to find the best ways to get the most out of the Duo's screen real estate. Also, I think it will be a premium portable gaming handheld as well, once you clamp on some controllers.

hi all! I’ve built a few tube amps now, and I was hoping to tackle the Megatron XL next. I see a few revisions of schematics posted in this thread. Does anyone have gerber files and a BOM I could use to build PCBs? Thanks!

RIP BioWare: EA has shut down the legendary RPG developer.

I love my Galaxy Fold 5, though it's getting up there in age. Most of the apps I use on Android are well adapted to the folding size, and with how established the Mini has been in iPad land, I think 3rd parties will come out with solid builds faster than T$ thinks. I've been away from iOS for a couple years now, but while I was tempted by the Duo, the fiscally responsible-ish side of me says "Gen 2: Electric Boogaloo" is the way to go. Wish it had better cameras, though...

Mine actually gave up on me last year, and I was gutted, I'd had it for years and loved it. I ended up paying for a new motor and board too, but the whole thing left a sour taste.

Albert Anker (Swiss artist in the 1800's) clearly loved his coffee. There is another Girl drinking coffee, Still life with coffee, Bernese peasant woman drinking coffee, Still life with coffee and potatoes, Coffee and cognac, etc etc

I like the Duo, too. I think it will be mainstream in a few years.

I'll admit, Duo looks legit cool in these reviews. Also looks like it is going to take 3rd party software a little while (or a long while) to catch up to it. Happy to sit out this round but could be interested in Rev 2.0 next year.

RIP to Clif "Clif Hanger" Croce from the punk band The Freeze. Saw them in the 80's after their LP Land Of The Lost came out, great energy. Apparently they still put music out until about 2019! They had a song that was used as a title of a punk compilation, This Is Boston Not LA. Clif "Hanger" Croce of the Freeze has passed awaySadly, Clif "Hanger" Croce, Singer of The Freeze has passed away. Clif's bandmates stated that he passed away of natural causes. They add that they will release more info soon. The Freeze last release
