the mileage numbers are still worse than a standard current generation Prius and certainly worse than a plug-in version

It just depends on gas prices vs. electricity cost in your area.

For example in the US it makes perfect sense to own an EV in California, but no sense in Texas for example.

There is nothing better plexamp but unfortunately after plex raised their prices it might not be worth it for most

Precisely
If a battery can do 1000 cycles and remain above 80% capacity it is exempt from this, which is exactly what Apple implemented a few years ago.

Low cost phones will be most affected.

Linux is pretty awful at a lot of things …

Their cars today are much better than when sales were at their peak.

Getting politics to get in the way of good engineering is a real shame.

Died? It’s been working perfectly fine for me for years now.
You can just ping your CPU usage to the menu bar and monitor that. I have CPU and total system wattage up there so I always know if something weird is going on.

Re:Ask HN: Why hasn't x86 caught up with Apple M series? on Tuesday August 26, 2025 @10:17AM (#45026909)
They bought Palo Alto Semiconductor in 2008 which is where all their ARM chip designs came from.

Re:Ask HN: Why hasn't x86 caught up with Apple M series? on Tuesday August 26, 2025 @10:15AM (#45026877)
Apple purchased Palo Alto Semi which made the biggest difference. One of their best acquisitions ever in my opinion… not that they make all that many of those anyway.
I don’t know why everyone is concerned about the top end of the these batteries when we should be limiting depth of discharge instead, which causes way more damage than charging to 100%.

There should be an option for the machine to pretend like 40% is 0% and just go to sleep.

I know Windows has this option but it’s deep inside the power settings, they should bring it out of there.

I don’t think Apple devices have anything like that.
