They're saying that the physical speakers inside the MacBooks body are not what makes them sound good (and that the physical speakers are on par with other manufacturers) — it's the fancy, custom post-processing that does.

You're confusing sleep with hibernation. Power Nap is just fancy name for scheduled wakeups; it was supposed to be more but my understanding is that this never really materialized.

They require issuance of paper visas and an in-person interview. It's _easier_ than B1/B2 visas; but in the overall scheme of things not _that_ much easier.

Tokyo isn't; and that's not why living here is (relatively) cheap.

This has been disallowed on the App Store for a couple of years now; but of course is completely unenforced.

> If the UI jitter on their phone was "so jarring", it's not because it's 60 Hz. It's because the phone's CPU isn't keeping up. No, it's not. This isn't about dropped frames or micro-stutters

>Which, at this point, why not just use M4 as a base? I imagine that making those chips is quite a bit more involved than just taking the files for M3 Max, and copy-pasting them twice into a new project. I imagine it just takes more time

That's... not what I said at all? The only claim I made is that if you toggle between 60/120hz on people's devices, they will be able to tell the difference.

As one of the upthread comments mentioned, this is something that probably varies with sensitivity between people. But I am quite confident I'd be able to tell 60/120hz with a 100% accuracy within 5s of being able to interact with

I actually call BS on the "not-being-able-to-tell". I will give you that most people outside of this websites audience will not be able to _tell_ it's because of the refresh rate. But I am quite confident if you take most of

Baseline M4 doesn't have Thunderbolt 5 either; only the Pro/Max variants do. The press-release even calls TB5 out: >Each Thunderbolt 5 port is supported by its own custom-designed controller directly on the chip. Given that th

USB-C on Macs is literally 10 years old this year, this has nothing to do with EU.

I wish for that machine too; and the price delta between the Macs is why I expect this will never happen. And unfortunately, I'd rather spend the extra bucks than go back to 60hz. Apple seems quite content with making 120hz a feature o

The CPU stays the same, it's the GPU cores that are upgradable on the baseline 13". There's a BTO 24GB RAM option.

It's not soldered, it's _on the package_ with the SoC.

It still does. There's a button saying "58 languages" on the trailing edge of where the title of the page is. It opens a drop-down with language selection. (Presumably the UI is different on mobile, speaking about web.)

When that Mac was first released, there was literally no external connection that would let you drive that display. HDMI and DP at the time didn't have enough bandwidth to support 5k60.

It is. The QR codes that provision the eSIM are single-use. Most "real" carriers will of course let you migrate your eSIMs, with varying degrees of pain involved (my Japanese eSIM migrated automatically from iPhone to iPhone; the
