I get that it is good for some games, but when people say "gaming PCs" on Windows, they usually mean AAA titles. The stuff on endcaps at BestBuy for sale for PC and console. Those games won't run well on Macs unless you spend

A NVIDIA 2080 graphics card from 2018 still surpasses the M5 for gaming. The M5 Pro coming early next year will likely finally catch up with the 8-year-old 2080. I'm happy to hear your games work well for you, but it sounds like the ga

Yes, I don't often let batteries deplete but the issue I'm having on my MacBooks is that they will "die" with plenty of charge (often 40-60% left). But the computer thinks it is at 0% and won't boot past the "p

My M1 Pro with 441 battery cycles won't power back on without the Apple charger it came with if I close the lid or put it to sleep and the battery isn't over 60%... something happens and the computer goes into a sleep state where

This is Apple: the last time they shipped a pcie/replaceable wifi card was thirteen years ago on the Mid-2012 non-Retina MacBook Pro. Even pre-Apple Silicon, it's been a decade since users could upgrade MacBook's RAM or inte

You can't expect Apple to make an argument against their own chips... you're asking them to admit that they are making ~20% a year improvements when they want buyers to think it's a multiples-of-X improvement.

This gap makes no sense to me. I wonder if Apple is just leaning into this cycle because it's easier to make M5s than more advanced processors, so you can sell this sooner? From a buyer's perspective, I don't like it at all.

The issues I see people struggle with on a Mac is that development often needs things in a non-default and often less-secure setup. There isn't a "dev switch" in macOS, so you have to know which setting is getting in your way

If you are on a M-series MacBook and aren't running a 3D Benchmark the entire time, your Mac is broken if it is dying after 2.5 hours. Have you checked your Battery Health? If you have an intel-based Mac, it's the same expected ba

My MacBook M1 Pro w/ 441 cycles started doing a fun thing where if the battery gets under about 50% and you put it to sleep, the ONLY way to power on the device is to use the exact charger it came with. Higher powered Apple Studio Disp

You have replied as if I complained or said anything about the deal/compromise. I simply quoted the numbers from the article because it was what I was curious about when I saw the headline & picture of the small convoy.

I don't think one side would have randomly agreed to release without an exchange. Are you suggesting it would be better to leave the hostages of both sides in captivity just in case something happens upon release?

I still have two CRT displays and it's a joy to use them when playing an old game or typing something up. It is insane how much space they take up. Landfills must be full of these huge things.

YouTube made public "Shorts" automatically out of some unlisted videos on my account, which was very confusing. They were memorial slideshow videos, so not something you'd want a Short of anyway, but could have been a pri
