M1 vs. M2 Apple Silicon. Old design vs. new design. LCD vs. Mini LED. Black bezels vs. white. Forehead vs. notch. Potato cam vs. 1080p. $999 vs. $1099… Maybe $1199? Yeah, if the rumors are true, there are a few really good reasons to wait, but also a couple truly massive reasons not to. So, if you’re perseverating over grabbing an M1 MacBook Air now, now, now, or trying to hold out for the M2 MacBook later, don’t worry, I got you.

Could Apple Lossless AirPods mean the end of Bluetooth? 

🚀 Start for FREE! First 200 get 20% off the annual premium subscription! https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie

$550 and the AirPods Max can’t even stream lossless audio. Never mind the $250 AirPods Pro. Why? Because they’re Bluetooth and — wait for it — Bluetooth is lossy. Well, lossy like trying to fit a river through a hose is lossy or… watching the cam version of No Way Home IMAX is lossy. You can have the best source in the multiverse but Bluetooth has such limited bandwidth, is such a narrow pipe, that you just can’t fit real, true lossless audio through it. Including Apple Music Lossless. So, what do you do? Well, if you’re Apple… maybe you kill Bluetooth. MDK it just to watch it die. And then you replace it — or maybe superset it — with a silicon and signal solution that’s just way, way better.

Coins. Blockchains. NFTs. DAOs. Virtual and augmented reality. Electric Vehicles and self-driving. Autonomous technologies and artificial intelligence. 2020 and 2021: 2020 Resurrected were hella ugly. Brutal even. But they moved us forward each in their own way. 2022 is poised to do the same. Pushing us closer to some aspects of the future, and maybe even finally delivering on a few as well.

Forget HomePod mini, we need a HomePod biggie!

🔥 NO ADS + bonus content! CuriosityStream & Nebula for less than $15 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/

Just over a year ago Apple introduced the HomePod mini. A cute, now colorful, smaller than Shoryuken-sized ball of Siri-served music, info, and HomeKit fun. But at the same time they MDK’d the OG HomePod Biggie. Killed it just to watch it die. And, swear to Jobs… I want it back.
