Having had dual 5Ks for the past five years, I probably wouldn’t be excited even with it being 2x 4K. The bezels aren’t big enough to warrant the drop in resolution for something like this to me.

Incredibly low resolution for the size monitor too. Is the form factor the novelty worthy of sharing?

Heck, the first gen retina MBP is now 10 years old. It’s definitely still a very capable machine, albeit the Nvidia GeForce 650M GPU is a bit underwhelming, even for non-gaming.

Many many years ago I owned a /19. Crazy to think what that would be worth now, but also probably way better other investments during the same time period.

You’ve never seen Slack reload while using it? Often, that’s a “crash” in an Electron app.

443,276… this one the strategy makes sense too… stay at 2% until 115 month and drop to 0.5% by 120, when the production drops 12%. Stay at 0.5% until 175 and crank interest to 1.0% by 180, when people spend 10% less. Stay at 1% rest of the

Yep, I was aware of the acquisition. The work to make what we think of as Google Maps today happened after the acquisition. That’s why I mentioned Google Earth as a counter example, as it fundamentally didn’t change (obviously got better, b

Google Search wasn’t fundamentally different than Altavista, just marginally better. Had Yahoo! not bought Altavista, there’s a chance it might’ve stayed competitive with Google.

Google Maps was the first good “AJAX” like map (god it’s been a long time since I used that term), so yeah, I’ll give you that one. Google Earth however was a rebrand of Keyhole which they acquired.
