• Opinion: With advances in Apple Silicon, it’s time to think about reviving the 12-inch MacBook size

  13-07-2021 22:38 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  A few weeks ago, Apple officially classified the original 12-inch MacBook from 2015 as “vintage.” This comes as Apple drops support for the machine with this fall’s release of macOS Monterey. Fortunately, Apple actually released three other variations of the machine between 2016 and 2018 before officially discontinuing it in 2019. Two years after Apple stopped selling the 12-inch MacBook, I’m still heartbroken that the machine fell victim to consumers’ undying love

  Apple has long had a fairly puritanical stance on sex in its products and services, but this is going too far. The iOS 14.7 Weather app (and quite possibly some earlier versions as well) steadfastly refuses to show a temperature of 69 degrees. It won’t show it as the current temperature, nor in the upcoming weather highs and lows even when every other weather app and service shows that as the current temperature.Interestingly, 69 degrees will be displayed on the Weather home screen widget.
