Key travel isn't back to what it used to be, but it's moving down everywhere so apple at least isn't far behind. I went from a T series thinkpad to an M1 air and the keyboard was a clear downgrade, but in practice I find it t

To my knowledge windows is the only OS which renders the widgets at fractional scales and doesn't scale the output, but it only does it for apps which implement DPI awareness correctly. Some apps advertise to the OS they support DPI aw

What sucks is that all those laptops built between 2013 and 2022 will be dogs on the used market. Prices will fall, and they have been falling, but they’re not going to crater. The high end models will sell to people that have workloads t

It was obvious for me when apple released the m1 13 inch pro next to the air that the 14 inch would land at the higher price point. That’s why I immediately bought the air. If I were buying a new macbook today, I would be tempted by the 14

I have an m1 air and I’ve used it for angular and node web dev including docker. Docker support for me was rough back in march, but it is flawless now. There is no difference to using docker on my intel imac and my m1 air. The rest of the e

It was also a vm on intel. It has always been a vm on any OS that’s not linux.

It was even worse. Those macbook owners would cause the others in the meeting to be annoyed when they couldn’t plug in and had to send their slides to someone else with a hdmi port and keep repeating the words “next slide”. It was viral ann

The new models are a lot more expensive though. And the entry level model of the 14 inch has an 8 core variant of the m1 pro, which probably will not perform that much higher than the 8 core m1 in the 13 inch.

It’s for the fast charging feature, where it charges 50% in 30 minutes.

The 13 inch m1 air is barely bigger than the 11 inch thanks to smaller bezels. I have both, they don’t feel much different in practice.

Built-in SD would allow for cheap permanent storage upgrades to the cheaper macbooks. Apple may be listening to what people want in laptops, but I don’t see them cutting into their own upsells by that much.

It’s weird how now the only touch bar mac is that weird m1 macbook pro which now nobody will be buying when the 14 inch is so much better for not much more money, and the macbook air is almost as good for a lot less money. They went from al

They share the core design, icestorm for efficiency cores and firestorm for performance cores, but these are recombined into entirely different systems on chip. To say the m1 max is the same as a14 is like saying a xeon is the same as an i3

They do pay, they just get more back out. In a country without any redistribution of wealth and a perfectly efficient government everyone would be a net zero contributor to the government. In practice most countries have a few hubs where mo

For example, the Sony Vaio TZ from 2007: http://www.notebookreview.com/notebookreview/sony-vaio-tz-re... The air was the thinnest laptop at the time of its reveal though.

I'm sure Boris Johnson has a plan for scaling up nuclear every bit as thorough and well-conceived as the plan for Brexit.

It depends on your definition of good, as for me most laptops have bad keyboards, and so-so is actually somewhat of a compliment. I do think thinkpad keyboards are still better than macbook keyboards, but not by as large a degree as they us

IANAL but a software developer so I don't know how well this translates to your profession, but here goes nothing. I've handled persistent volumes of 200 mails per day just fine using something like GTD / inbox zero. The volu

Actually, on windows apps that implement the DPI awareness API's aren't scaled by the OS at all, and if they implement them properly they even rescale when dragged between monitors of different DPI. So, that is arguably better tha

I was going to replace my thinkpad with a new thinkpad, but when apple released the M1 macbook air I had to change my mind. I paid the same that I would have paid for a T series, but got something that has the sleek thin and light build qua

The X270 has a 6th or 7th gen dual core CPU. If you get an 11th gen i5 like you'll find in the sub-$1000 laptop range you'll get something that is literally twice as fast as even the highest end 7th gen i7. That is a lot of perfor

I see toxicity not as twitter’s problem, but as its feature. I go to twitter to find out people’s gut reactions to current events, and in that role it is a uniquely capable and succinct resource. What you will not find there is rational and

I’ve set up a single always on desktop computer as my backup hub. Syncthing is used to sync everything I care about to that machine, and backblaze pulls everything to the cloud as versioned backups. I use a .stignore file to exclude some th

Yup, it makes total sense to me that apple went to 11 so microsoft also had to. Then they probably looked around to see what they could put in a windows 11 and bit off too much. The deadline likely was set in stone from the start, and that’

DDG for me is 90%, so I use DDG and append !g whenever I don’t get the results I’m looking for. I’d rather have google search as a choice than a default.

I think it is more a case of “talent x perspiration = skill”. Everybody can get better by working at it, but some people advance more quickly.

Anecdotal reports online seem to indicate displaylink on m1 is fine for everything except gaming including 4k60 video. M1 is not something you really want to do gaming on anyway, especially not with multiple monitors. I’ve done a video conf

I run a usb cable from the back of my imac to a drive hidden underneath my desk. It is effectively zero maintenance, because time machine removes old backups to make space for the new. For laptops I would aim for a setup where the drive is

The climate scientists generally haven't been doing the catastrophe predictions. If you go back and read the early IPCC reports, it's not like they were predicting the end of the world was nigh. In fact, they still don't pred
