The redactions are definitely overused. There’s some pages almost entirely redacted. It would be more effective to write a shorter sentence with some mystery than to just block out a large portion of a verbose page.
I also recently bought a Honda hybrid. I turned off as many of the data sharing features as I could from the first day I drove it. They don't make it easy, of course.
I don't believe that even a high end home/office printer can produce better quality prints than the best offset lithography practices.
One reason that offset lithography has better quality is because of the ink, which can be mixed for a specific print job (called spot colors). Regular CMYK printing cannot achieve the color space that spot colors can.
Another reason is that typical offset lithography processes produce images with 2400 DPI, and it can go even higher than that. The highest DPI I've seen on a inkjet printer was 1200.
Digital printers, as in the fancy inkjets used to print at scale, can also use spot colors and I wouldn't be surprised if they could do more than 2400 DPI. They are giant machines that cost millions of dollars.

Sure, but not many products are printed using the best offset lithography practices, most are just using whatever's cheapest.

Yeah, spot colours are pretty cool, but my impression was that they tended to be used in things like packaging or books with hundreds of thousands of copies printed, not things that you could conceivably replace with with POD. Or am I mistaken here and spot colours are more widely used than I thought?

Wouldn't that only be useful for greyscale though? I doubt that you could get good enough registration for 2400 DPI to be useful with multiple plates. Or is registration precise enough these days?

These printers claim to be able to print at 2400 DPI [0] [1], but I'm pretty skeptical that the quality would actually be that good.
That's a very un-Apple idea. Their philosophy is that the user shouldn't have to think about things like thermals. You buy the system that can handle your workload. They don't want you buying the cheap option and hot rodding it.
Maybe this makes more sense in 2026 with the focus on local AI models, but I think Apple would prefer to sell high end desktops AND high end laptops to people who want both portability and maximum performance.
They wont. Most professionals who use a mac end up plugging a usbc cable at work or home to use a bigger screen, keyboard/mouse, e.t.c. A dock would just replace that, while allowing higher performance and more cooling
On the other hand I see a very hot bottom case as an engineering problem that Apple solved by not using a thermal pad. Sometimes higher clock speeds don't really mean much for the user experience. For example I can set my gaming laptop to run in eco mode, or turbo mode, and the performance with simple tasks like web browsing is roughly the same. In these sorts of situations, its better to let the chip slow down a bit to preserve my thighs.
The problem was mbp retail product couldn't provide performance processor can do. I am not saying they needed to apply thermal pad to transfer heat via bottom case. They should provide proper VRM cooling solution at that time.
actually, the throttle people suffered also can interfere normal use-case not only for power hogging scenario.
LSD + MDMA taken together can also distort your hearing. Some time after ingesting this mixture at a party, I heard an extremely strange sound, like something out of a synthesizer. I asked some other people (some sober, drunk, etc) what that sound was and they all agreed it was a completely normal sounding ambulance siren. I didn't believe it so I recorded a video to listen to the next day, and it was indeed just a normal siren.
There's a divide in the marketing language vs the research language on this topic. Marketing says some handwavy statement like "Zoloft stabilizes serotonin levels", but the research on the topic basically says that we assume that's how it works based on what we know about the brain & the drug, but we don't actually have proof of the mechanism.
I always think for some reason that by now with all advancements in technology they'd eventually get to a point where they start measuring these things so going to doctor like that people might hear "your level were out of balance, here are the numbers" and then they get treatment and now, look, another lab result shows we fixed your levels. But it doesn't seems we are quite there yet.
Of course not in humans. Though can probably be done experimental with animals. With all the side effects and trade-offs involved with these drugs surely they had to be doing something like it?
I was mostly thinking maybe sample the blood or spinal fluid, or use imaging tracing markers to see how the imbalance manifests and then it can be corrected.
