As I said, I was happy. In the end it is always the relation on how you balance quickly vs. spending money on a first-gen product. But yes, most iPad customers probably were happier with the 2nd gen.

Depends on what the original poster uses his MB Pro for and how much computer power is required. That is why I compared it to an iPad. A M2 is quite a powerful processor on its own. Any "power" user won't use the VP for compu

It runs apps on its own. So many things you might want to do on an iPad could run just on the Vision Pro itself. While I can't live without a full computer, a lot of people are happy with an iPad only. Many of those might also be happy

This is really a release mostly for developers and enthusiasts who are willing to spend some money on a product which still has to grow. From the software obviously and one can also expect quite some hardware improvements with the next gene

Never say never... I got the first generation iPad, and was happy that I did. But then, it was not that expensive. But yes, especially with such a new product category, you really want to wait a few generations, if you want to get the best

From what I have read, you can recharge the battery while in use, so that sounds like you wouldn't be limited to 2 hours of use as long you can plug in.

I think it does. Apple wants people to use and support the Mac with software. That means that people need development hardware, here for running automated tests. Even if Apple isn't selling server hardware to end users (what I think wo

If you want to do VM workflows, I definitely would recommend to upgrade the RAM (and probably the SSD) when buying the machine. Yes, it is not cheap with Apple, but still no reason not to get an Apple machine, if you are in the market for o

You can basically set up almost everything. Mac trackpad guestures seems to be always active, but you can deactivate them on the Mac side and then use them for Linux. VMWare offers a lot of settings where you can customize the keyboard beha

My basic kitchen freezer can do -25. And that is a very basic and cheap freezer, so I think it would be relative easy to push it a few more degrees down.

As in most places the earth is rotating fully once every 24 hours the sun isn't stationary in the sky. Consequently the depicted shadow - if it is bothersome at all, is so only a few minutes per day. Mind that, only on a clear day, clo

Unfortunately, they are still popular in parts of Asia. You don't see them at every corner, but e.g. in Taipeh it was offered in some places. And it is consumed enough to drive several species of sharks into extinction. Which of course

Another important candidate are shark fins. Not only are sharks of many kinds endangered, cutting of their fins and tossing the still living shark back in the ocean is especially cruel and wasteful. But considering that most fish species ar

I would buy one, if it were available in a "private car" config for a reasonable price. I would love to be able to see the road directly in front of the car through the lower window.

No, Lisp is not interpreted. Lisp compilers exist for long times. Lisp is dynamic typed. "Strong" typing often is wrongly used as a term for static typing. When programming, Lisp certainly benefits from good editor support - as mo

You are pretending that owning a truck doesn't have a downside compared to a normal car or a station wagon. The truck will use more fuel and is way less nice to drive if you not in a very rural region. Which is why driving a truck inst

I am not sure about abolishing, but it would already quite help if there was a clear, reasonably timed, copyright period. Like 50 years after publication.

Ok, when you are calling science "generalities and platitudes", you are making my point of your posts reading like right wing propaganda and also any more discussion is moot.

Sure, I am always strongly in favor of doing R&D on alternative technologies. But it also is important to understand that this takes a lot of time. But we need to get our grid quickly off fossil fuels and for that we need to use the the

You haven't gotten the point: nuclear is very bad for varying loads and that is why it is bad to fill the gaps in renewable production.

You wrote: > And they also saved money by building some plants near rivers without cooling towers I consider this a positive vote. But fine. If you didn't agree with the decision, it doesn't make a difference to the discussion.

Base load is a term from the fossil/nuclear time. It is a pure statistical amount which designated how much "slow" sources (coal, nuclear) could be used because there is never less demand than the base load. And everything wa

Fine, than they can go a bit lower still. But for a grid mainly powered by renewables, they would have to be able to go all the way down to 0, what is really not a practical option for nuclear reactors. But there is another catch: nuclear i

We were talking about the French power plants and they have a cooling problem as they were built with cooling by rivers. Yes you can build them differently, but they haven't. Actually you praised them for that. So now they have cooling

Several reasons: - it takes way to long to finish them, renewables can be set up much quicker - as they are too expensive, they are binding money which could be used more efficiently somewhere else. - we haven't solved the waste proble

Yes. But it proves nothing.

Oh, I missed that one line in a rather busy post. If you claim that cooling is a non-issue, you are lying. Some had to reduce power and also the maximum allowed river temperatures had to be adjusted. ( https://www.handelsblatt.com

You wrote "billions". The one billion comes from the representative of the farmer. So my hundreds of millions is probably closest to the truth. But that has nothing to do with nuclear. And the French took the reactors down because
