That’s a really unfavourable view for what is a likely an oversight in UI design.

Again, in the video (that you clearly didn’t watch) they’re multi tasking without loading times as they switch. And yes you can encode an mpeg from your console. Don’t be facetious, because that’s NOT what is shown in the video. They show e

The MET also released a great article on their scanning process to preserve color accuracy https://www.metmuseum.org/perspectives/color-photography-sta... Highly recommend reading it as a companion to these 3D scenes.

I’m not sure about affinity performance but I regularly edit 36MP photos on a similarly specced device without slowdown in Lightroom and Photoshop.

macOS employs some memory compression which does reduce pressure slightly. But I think a lot is also down to things like the dispatch library and scheduler being able to work together and being able to make assumptions about the hardware to

It’s hard to take you seriously or at face value if you did watch the video and called it a glorified terminal. What in the video is remotely glorified terminal like? What terminal are you using that gives you local 4K editing capabilities

More RAM is better. But doesn’t negate that it’s still very usable. Did you even bother to watch the video for responsiveness before commenting? Also it was a couple years after the transition to arm that Apple bumped the minimum RAM they s

I was watching this video and it’s pretty impressive what can be done on this spec machine. https://youtu.be/d-VOt9559Gk?si=tYlDstnaxtQWoJ88 He opens 50+ apps at once while working in Final Cut and Lightroom. Obviously anyo

This is just pointless gatekeeping. You have an arbitrary subjective taste and have decided that anything outside of it is stupid without actually understanding what you dislike and why others might want it. Laminated necks again provide qu

So you’ve gone from saying it’s a gimmick to saying it’s not worth the cost. Do you even have a cogent argument here other than anything you don’t like doesn’t make sense to you?. There are tons of poorly made strat or les Paul like guitars

This feels like a really puritanical take on things. Fanned frets and multiscale absolutely help with the playability of an instrument. It’s physics, there’s nothing mystical or gimmicky about it. Maybe YOU don’t want it, but it prevents st

A true temperament isn’t just about compensating for the string mass differences but also for their differing intonation points. A true temperament won’t get to the same level as a movable fret system but it does also compensate to a certai

I’m surprised they don’t show true temperament frets. https://strandbergguitars.com/en-WW/magazine/true-temperamen... They solve exactly for this issue, and sound amazing in use. The downside is that you are somew

I’ll push back and say there are people who buy it for desktop but primarily for workstation like uses such as simulations. A ton of my FX artist friends have specced out their home rigs with one or something in its orbit.

Isn’t this ignoring that inactive apps essentially get paged out of memory anyway? Also conversely what about iPadOS where you can multi task on just 8GB too. People have survived on 8GB Mac’s for a long time. I’m not sure things are as dir

No their point doesn’t stand because they questioned whether you can use them together. And yes you can. Don’t change the goalposts just because you don’t like the products. Nowhere in their comment does your interpretation even come into t

Maybe not 2x (scaling is never linear) but you can absolutely chain them, and macOS supports RDMA over TB5 for even better performance https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46248644 Maybe hold back on the attitude

Can you quantify your claim? PTL’s highest SKU is comparable to the base M5 for only multicore perf at double the power use in every benchmark I’ve seen. It lags significantly behind in single core. But I’d love to see a benchmark showing o

Qt delegates to native UI in a lot of cases. I think a lot of people who rail against native UI fail to delineate between native UI and first party frameworks. Using third party frameworks, even cross platform ones, does not mean you lose o

FaceID was introduced along side the ANE. It was its reason d’être when introduced.

If you strip away the branding, Apple has and continues to ship a ton of algorithms that likely use the ANE and end users can use CoreML to do the same. Just some things that people will likely take for granted that IIRC Apple have said use

Can you explain, why not? If it’s easier for Apple to just maintain a fewer series of chips going forward, why not keep it up to date? If your question is what do people use it for? Well thats different. iPads have a range of users from peo

It’s not just a cost saving measure. PWM has some benefits like better accuracy and linearity in the lower brightness ranges.

Okay, and? Being cheaper in total, cheaper to the individual and generally amortized aren’t mutually exclusive.

Amazon are bad at consumer software, with the exception perhaps of the kindle. Emphasis on consumer, because they have fantastic enterprise/cloud engineers. They have, frankly, some of the worst UI/UX design of any company in the

The author of this post suggests the same. That the hit pieces don’t have to be factual, they can be generated images. The asymmetry is terrifying.
