It's Wednesday, December 18, 2019. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.  At last, we’ve reached the end of the third Star Wars trilogy. I don’t know what that earns us, but there should be an Xbox Achievement or something. If you’re preparing to see The Rise of Skywalker over the next few days then, first, good luck avoiding any spoilers, and second, don’t forget there’s an exclusive sneak peek to go along with this week’s episode of The Mandalorian, which arrived last night. For me, the big event of a new thing arriving is only enhanced by iFixit pulling it apart to see what’s inside. Sure, repairability matters, but as I prefer PCs, it’s unlikely I’ll ever need to replace the $400 wheels on a Mac Pro. After you're done with this morning's roundup, keep an eye on the site to see our review of the new Razer Blade Stealth 13.

It should be.  iFixit has torn down the Mac Pro, and it's now clear that many components beyond the memory and PCIe cards are trivial to remove and (if you can track down parts) replace. The SSD is an exception given its ties to the T2 security chip Apple built-in, but nearly everything else is swappable, down to the fans. That’s something worth knowing if you’re willing to void the warranty on your pricey new workstation. | | There’s a lot of math supporting your strategically blurred selfie.  Ready for an explainer on the Pixel 4’s auto-focus system and how it makes the phone’s Portrait Mode possible? We knew you were, and Google’s AI blog has coughed up the details. In order to estimate depth, the Pixel 4 captures an image using two cameras, the wide and telephoto cameras, which are 13 mm apart. For even more accurate estimation, the cameras also use a dual pixel technique in which every pixel is split in half and captured by a different half of the lens. | | Sponsored Content by Stack Commerce | |
