I don’t believe I ever said it was silent. Do you not agree that having a fan in the system was a good design trade-off?

Removing a fan reduces the price? By how much do you think? Is the Nintendo Switch expensive because of the fan? Is the Nintendo Switch/Switch 2 a thick device? They are thinner than the MacBook Pro, and they have more space constraint

As I’ve pointed out in my other comments, the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 are perfect devices to dispel this whole “no fan is better” narrative. Clearly it’s not a challenge to make a compact, performant device with a nearly silent fan. Cl

Is that the tradeoff they make with the Nintendo Switch? I’ve never heard the fan in my Nintendo Switch and it’s a very compact device. My Nintendo Switch 2 is also very compact, smaller and lighter than a MacBook Neo, and it can play AAA g

What about the fan in the Nintendo Switch? Do Nintendo Switch owners hear the fan or consider it a problem that stops them from making a purchase? I don’t know why people parrot this talking point about a lack of fan being a positive featur

Yoga 7, check Best Buy, although I think the discount was bigger a few weeks ago. It’s actually better in many ways: 2K OLED touch screen, convertible with pen support, double the RAM, backlit keyboard, ranks better on battery life for offi

I have pointed out this stat before: Global user base Mac: 100 million (2024) PC gamers: 900 million A lot of Mac enthusiasts seem to scoff at the idea that someone buying a laptop wants it to be able to play some kind of video games. Apple

This can depend on what’s on sale in your region. I also have some thoughts about buying at this price range down below. I’ll shill a website for a YouTuber called bestlaptop.deals. It tracks sale prices and has reviews attached for the lap

It will not only cut off icons but the menus for applications when they have a lot of them. There is no way to fix it except to change your scaling or connect a second monitor. I should save this thread for every time someone tries to tell

We are talking about brand new latest gen hardware here. People with low budgets are always scraping and saving for deals and don’t need to buy something brand new from a pricey brand name like raspberry pi. You can still jump on eBay and b

That’s strange, there aren’t wider market supply chain issues outside of DRAM. Maybe your vendor is just throwing excuses around.

“Killing” is strong phrasing. Yes, a $250 mini PC I bought last year is now $350. Is this pricing bad? Yeah, compared to what it was. Is this the end of the world? Not really, and we’ve seen price spikes for all kinds of PC components in th

I'm not talking about size and success, I'm talking about participation in a diverse array of industry verticals. My example is not meant to specifically talk about active investing, I'm just picking out companies to discuss

I totally get what you’re saying. I’ll make an analogy to maybe help explain what I mean further: I own a somewhat diverse set of 50 company stocks, at least for the purposes of this exercise. Let’s say a bunch of those companies merge, now

I wonder if an argument could be made that because the LLM came up with the implementation that it’s not a trade secret? Of course with lease intent is a very important concept. I doubt anyone is getting away with what I described. It’s jus

Something I’ve been thinking about, somewhat related but also tangential to this topic: The more code gets generated by AI, won’t that mean taking source code from a company becomes legal? Isn’t it true that works created with generative AI

But the index fund is doing what it was designed for, which is to index on the companies based on their relative importance in the marketplace. And that’s really my whole point. Someone who is buying an S&P Index fund wants to own m

I just respectfully disagree with your view in a whole lot of ways. I don't know how you can be aware of things like the January 6 insurrection and the fake electors scheme and believe that election fraud is "mostly dems." We

And here I am with a gaming PC that has absolutely nothing in the PCIe card slots except for a graphics card. 1 out of 5 slots filled! The truth of the matter is that there's basically no hardware on the market that actually depends on

I certainly think it's a good thing to diversify investing, while recognizing that there is value in putting a lot of your bets into heavyweights that are very likely to do very well in the long term. One of my main points here is that

It becomes less interesting the more the “overweight” stocks correct. The extreme concentration risk lessens as these 8 stocks fall in value compared to the rest. I also don’t personally see the risk in the concentration. Risk of what? Thes

I didn’t phrase myself very well. What I’m saying is that the loss of the Mac Pro didn’t reduce the repairability or modularity at all in the product lineup. It was exactly as modular as the Mac mini and Mac Studio. The only difference is t

Well, this specific solution was only set up on specific hardware, and is Nvidia dependent, as the readme stares. That doesn’t mean the 9070XT can’t do AI stuff, quite the opposite. ROCm gets better all the time. There are many AI workloads

The issue isn’t the proof of citizenship. The issue is that poll taxes are unconstitutional and there is no state that I’m aware of that makes the acquisition of identification documents free of cost. I’m honestly quite surprised that polit
