A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Apple tends to over-build their chips. For example, they’re running iOS on their displays, just because that’s what their engineers are used to. This means that the display needs a full blown desktop-class computer in there just for showing an image on the screen. It’s the same story for their wireless routers.
That works fine in environments where power and heat don’t really matter, but that’s completely not the case for a modem.
