Tech News

Quick one today because aargh.
Gresham always wins: All streaming boxes suck. (The Verge)

Bad X drives out Good X for all values of X.
There might be a new iMac this year, based on the new M3 chip. (9to5Mac)

And it might not be crippled by being limited to 16GB of RAM.
Intel has a solution for intermittent failures on its 2.5Gb network chips: Turn up the power. (AnandTech)

Disabling efficiency mode reduces but doesn't quite eliminate the random network dropouts. Though people are saying in the comments that the problems are relatively rare and you shouldn't worry unless you are rolling out 10,000 systems to a corporate environment in which case you have other things to worry about, like users.

Disclaimer: Like users? Not much, no.
