This article is so much better than the original NYT one. Great writing and no paywall.

Existing lane markings serve the same purpose, just with a slight offset. They're actually a lot better because there are usually two. But of course driving is a lot more complicated than just staying in your lane.

Also, coil whine and convection wind have potential to be more obvious once you take away fans and introduce more efficient passive components.

I've had the same experience with my MBP 2017. So many people don't realise that the aluminium chassis isn't just attractive, it's actually a massive heatsink, and it's the reason the machine needs barely any internal airflow.

Regardless, it seems very defensive. A company that looks after their users "because they choose to" is a lot more suspicious than one where customer care is simply assumed to be inherent to the operation.

Seriously? People who sleep less might be at risk of all sorts of health problems, but not necessarily because they sleep less - people generally sleep less because they're doing [strenuous or destructive activity]. And it's much more likely that partying / working late into the night causes health problems, rather than solely the lack of sleep.
