Reference guides researched and written by Rands. I try to not only find interesting facts, but also the lessons. Whenever something relevant to a guide changes, I rebuild it.
The Apple Charging Situation
Complete reference for Apple device charging: specs, cables, adapters, and power delivery across the entire product line.
The USB Situation
Ports, cables, and the absurd naming conventions. Everything you need to know about USB without wanting to throw your laptop.
The MacBook Neo Guide
Apple’s $599 answer to a question Steve Jobs said couldn’t be answered. What’s inside, where the parts came from, and why it doesn’t feel like junk.
What’s a guide? Each guide is a standalone, curated artifact. I pull blog posts, newsletters, product guides, and whatever else I can find into a synthesized, useful, and digestible thing. Every guide has a sources page which also includes a revision history.
