Yep, tech can pay their employees very very well to ignore moral quandaries. Yet many still do care, goes to show money can’t fully buy people out.

Casual gaming is fine on them for me at least. Magic Arena or Civ5, performs well and totally quiet. I know this isn't most or even many gamers, but it's the gaming I did on my intel MacBook and it's way better on M1.

It’s funny because he argued for a year saying he would if he got A, gets it, then says he needs B… on and on until like L then when its finally in front of him to vote he acts like he never could anyways. People like this are the skeeziest

It looks more like moulding clay than origami folding I remember form a kid. Part way through you can see the basic form take shape and get pressed down into the samurai. Cool stuff!

I like a good clean CSS animation! They can be very short and meaningful. Maybe not for daily driver UI but somethings I like them. Infinite scrolling could be annoying with animations though, I grant you that.

I hate to be that old foggy but, aren’t websites just getting worse and bloated with JS crap? I’ve had a couple websites I use daily for work just get flashy new interfaces which causes 1/3 to 1/2 second delays in the interface wh

Right? In a place called tornado alley who could have thought. If only a company like Amazon had some money to spare to figure local risks and plan to protect their people. In fact, its amazing Amazon is seen as so reliable since they could

I'd much rather my tax dollars be spent on 11B failed telescopes than failed trillion dollar fighter jets. Or really most other defense project to be honest.

I'm just glad you're here to stick up for your friends without any corroboration or linking story. It's just a good thing to do.

What a vague way to put it, but of course, sure, there was a unionizing effort. I think an interesting example of how powerful Amazon is is that changed traffic light timing to inhibit the unionizing effort[1] [1] https://www.the

It's interesting how a lot of this hinges on a mailbox which was placed under Amazon's direction and unclear to employees if Amazon could also read the ballots from it. No doubt that is shady and weird. I really wish more would&#x

The question was never how to launch it or when but building and testing the telescope. SpaceX has no proven or even theoretical skill in building telescopes.

This is what drove me over the edge to another operating system, I gotta imagine others as well. Having ads at the OS level is just mind boggling, I get people can get used to anything but I really hoped there'd be a line where people

Certainly, but those other systems stuck around a while after GIT was around because people possibly thought SVN/etc were as good as it gets. That said, Mercurial and Fossil came out within a year of GIT so GIT at least outcompeted the

Only 2.5x the power usage? More seriously, there's always a few comments on threads like this claiming it's unfair to compare Intel to AMD or Apple because "they have a larger node size and are hamstrung by it." Which is

Exactly! So Macs now have some capable GPUs, will the games come? Will easy ports of iPhone games make gaming a thing? Future still unclear but there's some GPU horsepower in every mac now.

Besides obvious gripes like price these seems pretty perfect in the Verge's eyes, speed, battery life, good screen and keyboard.One interesting sore spot is gaming. These have good GPUs but poor gaming performance. They perform as good

The part where the article mentions "it's a shame" is specifically for USBC/magsafe fast charging. So the "doesn't work" bit is charging ~30% slower than normal. Of course theirs a whole other world of USB

It's interesting especially since it sounds like the reason it doesn't reach "close to 3080" in many games is because it's CPU bound, specifically because it's emulating x86. Once we get more benchmarks with no

1834 ST / 17370 MT [1] But that's also for something which has a TDP of 125W [2], unsure if that's the right number for a mobile chip? Also no clue what M1 Max's TDP is either. [1] https://browser.geekbench.co

Can you be more specific in how the M1 is optimized while MSI's isn't? Also why was MSI a bad comparison? It seems reasonable to me but I don't follow PC much these days.
