This is how select bus service buses are supposed to work in NYC. You buy a ticket before getting on the bus, and fare checkers randomly get on (haven’t seen on since I’ve started riding again this year, but its maybe a few times a month).

I’ve been wondering if you could tell the dealer that you’d like to finance and then just pay the loan off in the short term, whether it be immediately or in a matter of months, or if there are normally provisions in car loans that prevent

Really, after watching channels like Moores Law Is Dead and other techtubers and learning about the gpu and cpu markets and products, I wish I got into electrical engineering to so that I could work on the design teams at Intel or AMD or NV

Don’t banks put a fair amount of work into evaluating the valuation of these companies whose equities they are putting out on the public market the first time? The company is putting their trust in the bank that the banks valuation isn’t to

6 year old thinkpads aren’t any good anymore? I really like that the parts are widely available enough and cheap (or were) that you can do repairs yourself. I guess there are people doing more mission critical things around here. I’ve been

I kinda moved away from a full stack web dev project recently that really showed me the down and dirty of using express and EJS templating. I didn't think it wouldn't work or I didn't have something, I just felt like it was a

It would be exciting if you could add more memory to their machines, and maybe gpus, on systems that cost less than 6000 dollars (and even those haven't transitioned to apple's in house cpu architecture). For now, Apple Silicon is

Also their products include iPhones and iPads. Intel nor AMD are putting their chips into 10s of millions of phones, especially phones people will pay top dollar for, per quarter.

And the fact that we’ve all been able to sleep peacefully without an anti democratic, nationalistic power invading New York City or DC since then. Oh the things we take for granted.

I think a lot of people who watch these things suspect exactly what you wrote at the least. Apple funds much of TSMC’s research and development for a new node, pays for production for use in iPhones, both sides make tons of money and repeat

Oh Im pretty sure since the ipad pro launched or maybe the gen after, their scores in various benchmarks were getting scary close to the intel benchmarks. It mightve started maybe 30% off but with each generation the gap closed. It was inc

I really don’t understand why this doesnt happen in the U.S. more? Are ugly fruits just thrown in compost?

Stop feeding into hyperbole. The 13900k is for maybe 5% of the market, and the non k will give crazy enough performance for most buyers (if they even exist at this point). Giving the 13900 a high heat mode is just for the chance to keep up&

Have they really gone back to the pentium 4 strategy or are they behind in process node tech and can only compete with AMD’s performance by pumping power into their cpus? I think Intel’s top priority right now is to catch up to Tsmc’s node

Also, it was around this time that the chips in ipad pros were strangely getting close to intel cpu performance in benchmarks while running in thin enclosures without fans.

Theres also videos of modded GTA V that the makers of said video says “overheats their 3090 (can’t confirm because I don’t own a 3090).” It seems pretty striking, at times, at least to me: https://youtu.be/kBsNvGyfM8Y

You’re absolutely right. It just seems that apples market in Hollywood could begin to dwindle because all of the alternatives. I guess they can sell a apple silicon mac pro on speed, but what about the ease of customization that linux offer

The intel transition really made it the platform for everyone, with all the cool intuitive apps like the apple office suite, to Office and Adobe availability and the unix shell and its underpinnings hidden away. Now it seems that the power

Yet apple released a $6000 mac pro (that when fully specced, came out to be ~$60000, iirc), a $5000 monitor that competed with monitors almost used exclusively by Hollywood production houses and an optional $1000 stand for said monitor. I g

My concern with a classic macos interface (or even a classic windows interface), is how do newer features get mapped to those sorts of d.e.’s. We’re used to so many features (and little apps like windows snipping tool) and features that we

Black lives matter, the term, is a reminder that black lives do indeed matter, because black lives sure seem disposable or a means to an end way too often, imo, lapses in applicable humanism. Its not discounting the lives of anyone else of
