Probably not. The main differentiation these days is the CPU. Most iPads use Ax series chips which are less powerful and more power efficient than Mx series. They are also cheaper. The second difference is the OS where iPadOS is designed primarily around touch controls. MacOS requires a keyboard and mouse. The two operating systems share components but are distinctly different.

The reason for discontinuing the iPod was clear: That market is now very small as most people do not carry a music player and a phone. They just carry a phone. Apple switched away from Intel for a number of reasons, the primary one probably was that Intel stagnated for years and did not advance their chips while AMD surged ahead. Rather than relying on an outside vendor (AMD) for the key component of a CPU, Apple made their own.

I have a touchscreen Windows laptop. I rarely use the touch screen aspect as it is normally docked so I use a keyboard and mouse. For my job, there is very little use case for touch. If anything it is an annoyance as it sometimes rotates and locks in portrait tablet mode even though I turned that off. Since Windows 10, it seems MS treats some settings as mere suggestions.

You mean the same Enron used deregulation and fraud to game the system? Deregulation also caused the 2021 disaster in Texas. Remember, the regulatory body in Texas warned of the problem. They recommended the fix. They could not force power plants to implement the fix as Texas abhors regulation.

To be clear you are saying the US needs to be self-sufficient in olives, which is a tree not native to the US. That is what you are advising.

No, no. You just said we need to make all of our olive oil.

So in your world view, cooperating to get resources is not a solution. Your first and only answer is to fight. Got it.

So your answer is everything is complete selfishness. No cooperation. No allies. Your neighbors must love you.

Your entire point what that California has more land than Montana. Which led to your erroneous conclusion that California had more land for wind and solar farms. You failed to understand the point of "available" land. California has less available land from the start as it has more federally owned land. Your point is wrong on a factual basis.

This is a lie. The Roscoe Wind Farm is 150 square miles. High Lonesome is 200 square miles. Spreading lies does not help your argument.

The second point which you fail to understand: Just because there IS land does not mean that land is suitable for a purpose. Alaska has the most land of any state. No one suggests that people build massive solar farms in Alaska for many reasons. Your entire train of thinking seems to be: More land area == more farm land == more wind farms. There is no secondary thought as to availability or suitability of that land.

And I'm pretty sure that people build things where it is suitable. If you don't understand this point, this is the reason people don't grow wheat and barely in Death Valley. Again, your modus operandi is everything must be a nail because all you know is a hammer.

Let me say this slowly again as you seem very slow: Microsoft says the Asus ROG Xbox Ally is an Xbox. Microsoft says this. Microsoft on their own website says smart TVs, phones, PCs, handhelds are all Xbox. MS put out a YouTube video. This is not some random person on the internet saying this. Microsoft is saying it.

What part of "Microsoft is saying this" is hard for you to understand or accept?

So you don't care about anyone else's opinion but yours? Not even the makers of Xbox. Got it.

Please cite me one country that is completely independent of other countries. I'll wait. This is a fantasy.

Again, this is fantasy. The US does not have a large supply of rare earth materials. How do you propose to get rare earth materials again? That's is as likely as the US being sufficient on vibranium.

The US imports 98% of olive oil consumed in the US. If the US wants to be self-sufficient in olive oil, it needs to turn all of California into olive trees. This is for a tree that is not native to the US.

The administration's current plan is to antagonize the entire world, including allies.

So we agree: Your world view is that the US should fight everyone. Maybe you should start a fight with you neighbors as this is your modus operandi.

You really do not understand basic concepts, do you? 48% of California land is owned by the federal government. The land area of California is 155,959 sq. mi. That leaves 81,098 sq mi of CA that is NOT owned by the federal government. Compared that to Montana where the land area is 145,550 sq mi. At 30% federal land, that is 101,885 sq mi of MT that is NOT owned by the federal government. 101,885 > 81,098.So when you said that land in CA was bigger than MT, you failed to take into account that not all of that land can be developed by each individual states for wind farms.

I never said that. And you know it. This is a strawman argument at best.

Again, the simple concept you do not seem to understand is the Federal government owns large parts of California..

I am not sure how else I can explain, it and maybe you are hard of hearing: THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OWNS LARGE AMOUNTS OF LAND OF CALIFORNIA.

And we should convert all of California to to ensure the US is the #1 exporter of a crop that isn't native to the US.

Ethanol ensures that when that gasoline is burned there is less pollution. That's it. While adding it may prevent knocks, that wasn't the intent. Ethanol certainly does not reduce the need for gasoline.

Yes and the sequel. HAL 9000 had a level of intelligence beyond complying with requests. Copilot can apparently formulate alternate options and execute them with no intervention. Apparently is the word. In recreations, Copilot most of the time failed to understand the request much less formulate alternatives.

While many can claim conspiracy all they want the fact of the matter is the power plants did nothing to winterize in the 10 years after the recommendation. Sometimes the modification would have been minor. No one was mandated to do it; therefore no one did it. Laziness requires less conspiracy than malice.

Some games only have an Xbox version especially older titles. No one created a port that works on PC due to time, money, licensing, etc. Some PC games never got an Xbox version for a variety of reasons. For example games that require a full keyboard like RTS games ie StarCraft2

Only if there is a PC version. While many Xbox games are on PC, not all Xbox games are on PC.

Green energy has less impact, not zero. The main impact is the lack of green house gases as byproduct.

As opposed to fossil fuel energy production which has zero carbon cost of building and mining . . .?

So what you are saying is Texas is all about capitalism and profit. Providing energy is a necessary resource for their residents is not part of their goal. To that I would agree.

Ethanol was never a silver bullet. Ethanol reduces pollution when added to gasoline as it produces less green house gases. Using ethanol in no way reduces the amount of gasoline vehicles that exist on the road.
