This! I can't understand the reasoning behind this at all. Clearly they _have_ the technology, why not use it in the far more light-variable context??

Most of the issues people have with the LG are resolved by this new model; namely, build quality, speaker quality and webcam quality. For an extra $300 it seems like a no-brainer to pick this over the much-complained-about LG.

Having used displays from 30Hz to 300Hz, I believe 120Hz vs 60Hz is easily noticeable for anyone who is aware of the differences. Higher than that is a steep point of diminishing returns in my experience.

Your comment referred to Wordle's "acquisition" and "exit", which is startup jargon. I agree it's great he's getting a financial windfall, I just meant that the absence of that outcome — no acquisition&#x2

Your complaint is that Google is focused on such "useless things" as improving search results based on your prior searches and not on cutesy ads...?

Sure, but Wordle was not a startup. It wasn't seeking an "exit". It was a fun project made by a guy for his girlfriend who likes word games. He shared to their family, and it spread. Not everything needs to be or should be vi

I understand what you're trying to say, but I find it disturbing to suggest that "people don't actually live in downtown SF and SOMA". Many people, especially many lower income folks, do actually live there. The compartm

Yes, but afaik, the experience of building for the browser as a runtime target for games in Godot is still not much better than Unity, just less bloated. I for one would love it if Godot made web a first-class focus, but it doesn't see

Totally agree. Unity is definitely in the best position to become the new Flash, but so far, they seem completely uninterested in investing in that future. I can't totally blame them, because the vast majority of their revenue comes fr

It takes about 90 seconds to load for me, but once it does, it's buttery smooth on my M1 Pro. Unity's web story is still so bad for many reasons, but the initial load times are a huge one (~15MB of wasm for an empty scene last I c

That does nothing to verify authenticity within iMessage itself, creating the opportunity for abuse and impersonation I outlined in my other comment in this thread. A simple solution to this problem would be a "verified" indicator

Do you have one of the M1 Pros? Mine very much does gets hot and I can definitely hear the fans when I'm building a project, but both fronts are certainly improved vs the Intel Macs. Honestly, it gets about as hot and as loud as the In

Totally agree. And so many of the changes that people are enjoying about the new MacBooks (namely reverting Apple's failed experiments like TouchBar, only USB-C ports, and the butterfly keyboard) were all introduced alongside Apple Sil

Are you comparing Windows vs Mac? If so I think that might have even more to do with perf than the hardware. I'm sure the overwhelming majority of Unity developers use it on Windows, and so it probably gets more love from Unity as a re

Yes, I have been using that version exclusively. The non-native one is unbearably slow.

In my usage, which is game development with Unity, I haven't really been particularly impressed with the performance improvements on my 10-core M1 Pro machine. I'm sure most of the blame is due to Unity (the app is a buggy mess),

You can wake from sleep via motion, and presumably from the perspective of the AOP, there isn't really a difference between "turn on" and "wake from sleep".
