MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: a Surprising Result
(Geek Snack) – The MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro are two of the more recent Apple products that have become popular in the past few months or more. If you’re a MacBook fan, but are thinking of an upgrade, you might be thinking about buying the MacBook Pro. Read through this comparison between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro and consider these points when making a decision.
One of the best reasons to buy the MacBook Air, and not the MacBook Pro is battery life. As we all know, one of the most important traits of a laptop or notebook is battery life, without which one such device may become useless as a portable alternative to a PC or just a generally portable workstation. Battery life is an important factor in any mobile, portable device and it seems technology is a bit slow in this area. which means we have to settle. The MacBook Air is a rather efficient device, which has a relatively big battery built-in, compared to its size. Surprisingly, the MacBook Air battery life can hold out for a full day of usage, but that depends on how you actually use the notebook. For general activity and usage, it will definitely last a full day, which is something you can’t say about the MacBook Pro.
The MacBook Air provides a few extra hours of battery life, compared to the MacBook Pro, which can become a crucial difference for many users out there. Since the whole purpose of a laptop is portability, a good battery life is always a good selling point for any laptop, not just the MacBook Air. If you’re intrigued, and maybe skeptical, the average battery life on my part on the MacBook Pro was about 9 hours, while the MacBook Air battery life went up to 12 hours. Already having 9 hours of battery life on a laptop is absolutely great, but why not strive for even more? Even if the “Never Settle” motto is already taken, I urge you to use it when choosing any gadget.

Attorney General Rob Bonta, Oakland Lawmakers, Introduce Legislation to Protect Youth Online
At a press conference in downtown Oakland on Jan. 29, Attorney General Rob Bonta joined Sen. Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) and Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland) to announce two pieces of legislation designed to protect children online. The bills are Senate Bill (SB) 976, the Protecting Youth from Social Media Addiction Act and Assembly Bill (AB) 1949, the California Children’s Data Privacy Act.

At a press conference in downtown Oakland on Jan. 29, Attorney General Rob Bonta joined Sen. Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) and Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland) to announce two pieces of legislation designed to protect children online.
The bills are Senate Bill (SB) 976, the Protecting Youth from Social Media Addiction Act and Assembly Bill (AB) 1949, the California Children’s Data Privacy Act.
Skinner authored SB 976, which addresses online addiction affecting teenage users, while Wicks’s bill, AB 1949, takes on big tech by proposing data privacy and children rights protections.
“Social media companies unfortunately show us time and time again that they are all too willing to ignore the detriment to our children, the pain to our children, the mental health and physical challenges they face, in order to pursue profits,” Bonta said.
SB 976 would allow parents to control the nature and frequency of the content their under-18-year-old children see on social media. Notifications from social media platforms would also be paused from midnight to 6 am and controls would allow parents to set time limits on their children’s usage based on their discretion.
Skinner stated that the longer that kids are on their phones during the day, the higher the risk for depression, anxiety and other related issues.
The bill would also push to get rid of addictive media that is harmful for young women and girls, specifically image filters that mimic cosmetic plastic surgery.
Bonta and 33 other attorney generals had previously filed a lawsuit against Meta, owner of the popular social media applications Instagram and Facebook. The filing claims that the company purposefully uses algorithmized content that harms younger audiences.
“Social media companies have the ability to protect our kids, they could act, but they do not,” Skinner said.
The Child Data Privacy Act would strengthen existing protections for data privacy under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). The lawmakers argue that the law does not have effective protection for those under 18 years old.
Wicks stated that the bill would forbid businesses from collecting, using, sharing, or selling personal data of anyone underage unless they receive informed consent, or it becomes necessary for the purpose of the business.
Wicks added that the acts would make it so that a search on the internet like “How do I lose weight?” would not result in dieting pill advertisements targeting youth, which, some experts report, could be harmful to their mental and physical health.
“In a digital age where the vulnerabilities of young users are continually exploited, we cannot afford to let our laws lag behind, our children deserve complete assurance that their online experience will be safeguarded from invasive practices,” Wicks said.
Supporters of the two acts say they have gained bipartisan support issue, but the authors and Bonta expect them to be met with pushback from the affected companies.
