I’m sure there’s something to be done about the naming scheme even for Dell, though, so it’s a little easier to distinguish the products.

Admittedly I like that there is less variation. I don’t know how it is for other people, but choosing between 25 different monitors with partially overlapping feature sets is daunting, which is partially why I’m still using a 2011 TV as my only screen 😅

Probably not going with Apple when I do switch though. None of their offering has >60Hz refresh rate or HDMI 2.1 support, and I’ve never even seen any stats on their latency.

This product range is pretty bad. The USB-C is the worst one, it doesn’t have pressure sensitivity ! But you can’t really tell from the names alone.

Should’ve been Apple Pencil Pro > Apple Pencil 2 > Apple Pencil > Apple Pencil Light

They need to find a better name for their “lower end” products, because “SE” isn’t cutting it, and “iPhone 16e” just looks like a typo.

Give credit to Apple here, they’re one of the only brands with sensible product names. “Apple Studio Display” “iPhone 16” etc.

I wish more brands did this.

Shoutout to PlayStation too, but not the rest of Sony 😂

I agree with the message, but these two points following each other feels a little hypocritical:

“Amazon is supporting new nuclear plants” and “Amazon has a poor climate record”

Nuclear power is the most effective way to get out of climate change. Caring about climate change and being against nuclear power at the same time is a contradictory position to take, and needlessly puritanical.

If we could only rely on renewables, that would be very nice. That is not currently the case. We should strive to have more renewable energy, while keeping in mind nuclear power is here to stay and even be expanded as we eliminate carbon emitting sources of energy.
