It seems like we are creatively bankrupt if we can’t think of any solution. I think many of us could think of a good solution in literally seconds. And there’s a really good argument that a solution isn’t actually needed. Does the NBA need

I agree that it’s usable, but I think it’s still worth pointing out that it was the base configuration of the M1 Air almost 6 full years ago. It feels to me a lot like past cut down systems such as the eMac or that horrendous 21” 1080p Inte

I think we’ll actually see some serious responses from PC manufacturers. They basically have to. They really aren’t that far off as it is. I’ve brought up a number of similarly priced models in my other comments on this thread. Even on the

Can you go into more specific details about these observations you made? Which people were they? Do you have any benchmarks that show this “faster than a PC with double the RAM” claim? Because when I saw real world tests on the Neo versus t

Tomato, tomato. I would consider removing a basic feature like a small and quiet fan as “throttling when it wasn’t even hot.” Sorry in advance to continue ranting about this, but the consumer-hostile bit is it’s used as a price segmentation

I was going to say that I’d be happy to run a local Mac mini to be a runner but I noticed that Forgejo runners are only built for Linux. It seems like to be a serious CI platform they really need to change Windows and Mac binaries for runne

Throttling issues? Did you know the MacBook Neo has no fan? It can go 2x faster FPS in games if it’s cooled better: https://youtube.com/watch?v=lswbpVtAhrc Even a simple quiet and mostly-off fan would have been a $5 additio

Okay? Windows and macOS are basically the same. Only biased fanboy people say otherwise.

Okay? So you don’t look at reviews or something? What’s the problem that made you stop reading?

I don’t understand why there’s a strange assumption that Windows or Linux users are just burning productivity all the time and macOS users are the only ones where “everything just works.” Heck leave Linux out of it for all I care: Windows i

I don't know where this myth has come from that macOS magically uses less RAM even though you are using the same applications as everyone else. The Just Josh Tech review of the MacBook Neo demonstrated that the Neo cannot do a fraction

So the Apple advantage is, essentially, the evasion of antitrust rules. Nice. In any event, I use KDE Connect to send my clipboard around between iOS, Windows, Android, and Linux. The whole "instant on when you open the lid" thing

So what you're saying is that the same 8GB of RAM that MacBook Air M1 had 6 years ago is a good idea for a brand new laptop? Like I said, the MacBook Neo is squarely a low-end device. Make excuses all you want, it trades RAM, storage,

160 ppi is not pitiful, it's the same as a 27" 4K monitor. Is "clarity of purpose" ghost of Steve Jobs speak for refusing features to customers? Why is it so hard to conceive of a student wanting to write hand-written no

Something about your phrasing is such hilarious techbrained spin. Let’s be real: OpenAI is circling the drain. The company with the fraudster serial liar CEO who said he was gonna spend a trillion dollars can’t keep a video service alive ri

The computer is $600. It’s only $500 on the education store. Many Apple customers will not have access. Anyone who walks into a physical Apple Store will have to prove their eduction status. I am not sure why it’s eating competitors lunch w

My point is that Apple is in many ways joining Acer, not bringing their luxury product down to the masses. Yes, in many ways they’re bringing a very polished product to the space. But in many other ways, look closely and you’ll see the cu

I disagree strongly. Again, I tried it in store at the exact same time as trying other laptops. Yes, it's a little bit better than the alternatives, but, critically, not by much. Not by enough to sway a purchase decision. It's n

Serviceable != upgradable or long-lasting. So many people are going to get burned by the hypnotism of these Neos. They're going to be gateways into being traded in within 2-3 years to get something with more RAM and storage when their

I keep shouting from the rooftops the fact that the Neo is really not that disruptive or even necessarily that good of a deal. Like, have any of you actually looked at street prices at Micro Center or Best Buy recently? In the price range o

I don’t think this statement is helpful because it effectively downplays the government mismanagement and industry-specific plight of ATC workers by expanding and generalizing the problem. It’s analogous to this hypothetical conversation: “

I never understood why bother with these. You get a dealbreaker keyboard because of the lack of an alt key and you don’t even save much money for the effort of working around the Chromebook restrictions. A laptop originally sold with Window

lol, you want trustworthy stability without “too many” regulations. Good luck with that. I’m not sure you know what instability means if you think the US is unstable. If anything, the fact that the dumbest person on the planet is in charge

Maybe the motivation is more to stop giving American big tech MAGA fascists money rather than any kind of gain in privacy/security against state level law enforcement.

If Kamala Harris had been elected, Musk would have been prosecuted by the SEC and potentially be headed to prison. And this is not me claiming that it would have been a political prosecution, not at all. He just avoided it by hitching his w

That's a strange statement considering that 20% of new vehicles sold globally are EVs. And that's not just China propping up the numbers: 20% of new vehicles sold in the EU are EVs as well. Obviously that's not "fully re

I hate to say it, but doesn't a lot of this have to do with your poor choice of vehicles? You bought a 35kW battery-equipped EV and replaced it with an EV with a 32.6kW battery. What did you expect? I don't see poor software as a

It is a great business to be in, they just aren't run by a sane person who is good at business. If it weren't for massive conflicts of interest their CEO would have been fired years ago. They're getting leapfrogged by Chinese
