Geez, why are they still doing the online only events for this....?

Someone please tell them that the pandemic is long over, and the world has long gone back to normal again.

Cuz the WFH crowd are so dang comfortable in their jammies and doin' Da Toobin during video calls?

Srsly I think the WFH crowd does not want to bother with congregating around other living human beings in public venues. That would easily explain GrubHub & DoorDash and paid dogwalkers ... and certain Slashdotters.

Perhaps the WFH are just waiting for a jack to become available so they can plug into The Matrix .

They clearly like the online-only format because they can just produce it as a movie with a lot of production value, visual effects, etc.

Like you, I prefer the old, live, real, in-person events with some playing of topical videos as long as they are not too many or too long.

Apple killed the hype (Score:2)

After the hype of M1 died down, they kept making un-repairable unupgradeable laptops, with notches to boot. Now that the Apple car is dead and Vision Pro DOA I have no reason to watch WWDC this year.

I used to make a point of blocking the time out for these keynotes so I could watch them live without interruption - Steve Jobs' keynotes were something to watch. But, even with all the heavy production they're putting into the current online-only keynotes, Tim Cook and the team just aren't even remotely engaging like that. So nowadays I just wait until that evening and read a summary on Engadget or Macrumors or wherever.

Does anyone know if the Apple M4 can be designed in such a way that private cryptographic keys can no longer be [1]stolen [gofetch.fail] via side channel timing attacks?
