  1. "Sure sounds like an engineering oversight on Intel's part to me."

    You are still assuming that the part does not meet the TDP specified, rather than Apple failing to load the correct V-F curves for that SKU via firmware.

  2. "In which universe does a 4 core part have the same TDP as an 8 core part, other things being equal?"

    You do die level cherry picking to fit a small volume top bin, the same way you get i7 SKUs with the same core count and TDP but slower clocks.

    The old 4 core i7-7920HQ has a core clock of 3.1 GHz and a TDP of 45W: https://ark.intel.com/products...
    The new 6 core i9-8950HK has a core clock of 2.9GHz and a TDP of 45W: https://ark.intel.com/products...

    "It was actually Intel's fault. They didn't change the TDP for the 6-core CPUs."

    The i9 SKU was intentionally designed to have the same TDP as the 4-core i7 SKU.

    Not changing the TDP isn't a mistake, it's the entire point. None of the MacRumors articles you link to support your implication that not changing the TDP was a fault.

    "But it isn't *your* data they are sending.
    It is the state owned license plate number that isn't yours which they are sending, and the owner of that data has given everyone permission to use their data this way."

    In that case there's no point in sending it to ICE since they are trying to locate illegal aliens, not cars.

    Or are you saying that the location of a car CAN be connected to the location of a person? In which case the plates of cars of people who are not illegal aliens can also be used to track people who are not illegal aliens, since the camera does not know what data not to collect because it involves a person who is not an illegal alien.

    "getting rid of single stream recycling"

    One of the problems cited is "so many people tossed waste into the wrong bin", which implies systems where there is not single stream recycling. You propose no solution for this, since you didn't seem to notice that they're already doing this.

    This can be solved by having the collector sort the recyclables, which means that not having single stream recycling offers no benefit.

    "If you don't install extensions that manage tabs then don't worry about it."

    It's reasonable to assume that extension that explicitly states that it will try to manage your tabs will try to manage your tabs. How do you know that an extension that is claiming that it isn't trying to manage tabs won't try to manage your tabs?

    Now, a snarky response might be that it a user doesn't trust an extension then the user shouldn't be installing it, but that a) just pushes the problem up the stack to "How does a user determine whether an extension is trustworthy", b) needs to be repeated constantly as extensions update, and c) doesn't account for plain old bugs.

    Blackmail by the subordinate is not the only, or even the greatest, problem here.
    Allowing the reporting structure to remain between people in a relationship still leaves the manager in a position to condition employment on the continuance of the relationship.

    This is in no way about interfering with private life. It's about prohibiting conflicts of interest and sexual harassment. Reporting structures can be moved to eliminate the conflict of interest so that peoples private lives are not impacted by the workplace.

    I am continually amazed by people that think a sexual relationship with someone that could fire you is a meeting of equals.
