Yeah, same. Tho my PC, I pretty much upgrade everything, and keep using older components. Now I know it's not 100% green, but with an old PC you can literally grind it to the ground by using it as an old storage device, linux box, or a

Funny you say that, we were just talking about it: https://www.scss.tcd.ie/doug.leith/apple_google.pdf "iOS sends the MAC addresses of nearby devices, e.g. other handsets and the home gateway, to Apple together wi

M1 Air (especially) has been having screen issues too, including tinting; I've personally witnessed it. I think HP did become really bad around 2012, but they've really picked up their game lately. I've seen some great HP lap

Yeah, that's the issue here, Apple positions itself as a luxury device. Personally, I think there's a halo effect from iPhone being good, but it doesn't mean that other Apple products are. It's just hype and undeserved h

You really have to ask? Because why? You live in an Apple world before Google search has existed because Apple hasn't invented search yet right? Also it's $1500; because no one wants a laptop in a 8 / 256 configuration, no on

Capitalism says there are way much cheaper/better options than a 8 / 256 laptop for $1200. The fact that you are somehow defending a device that's clearly overpriced doesn't help your argument. Capitalism also says that

I mean, you just said it, your wife. X1 maybe went with this screen for whatever reason but there are other laptop options (XPS 13, Surface Laptop). XPS is even better than Air 3.5K 3456x2160. I think for newer consumers, they can more &quo

No "dark" patterns he says. Even after all the revelations, iFads just keep mindlessly worship Crapple. When in reality: https://www.scss.tcd.ie/doug.leith/apple_google.pdf "iOS sends the MAC addresses o

X1 is a Pro level device more comparable to MBP. Air is like a browsing the web laptop. It's in the class of laptops that should be $500. You are all so bedazzled by the hype machine that you don't even perceive how you are being

LMAO yeah 8 GB - 256 Laptop for $1200 is "killing it;" duping consumers definitely from day 1.

$1500 to edit photos 20% faster? Was it slow before?

by seabriez 4y ago
Yeah, thats a good point. There's def something shady and untold about this whole thing; and that could explain it. Apple has deep pockets and considering they have done shady deals (like the Google default search engine) this could be

It's a gimmick. Best devs dont us MacOS, lol. There's probably some cohort of frontend that try to look "cool." But any dev doesn't fall for that fluff. FFS, Apple just announced memory swapping as a feature on thei

Compete with what? Virtual Memory swapping that Apple just introduced?

No it doesn't. It's essentially Air with just a few incremental upgrades, the same chip just with a few updates. It's a money grab. They will keep selling Air for $999 and pressure consumers into a higher price, as they typic

Creating products that you can't easily repair or upgrade? Creating a vicious upgrade cycle? Hmmm...

by seabriez 4y ago
It sets a new precedent. Air was supposed to be cheapest, and they trying to stretch people into paying more. From fab perspective, they used the same and it becomes CHEAPER not more expensive to make it. The upgrades were very incremental

$1,199, only $200 ... thats 20% increase. Fuck that.

For a workload that is optimized on M1 for 10 more watts you get way faster and better functionality than a 2 yo M1 that uses 40 watts and cant even export h264 format video faster than a 5 year old computer.

This has been on Windows since like Windows 8. Probably before that since I haven't been tracking it. But I remmember I used to make these types of movies with storyboards years ago.

I disagree. I also feel UTs are a waste of time. I think in some cases UTs can work such as helper classes, but for business logic they are pretty useless and a waste of time. I guess it gets at that verification level DEPENDS ON what is b

Earlier I would agree, but more recently it's been a bit worse. The operator was very hard to understand and were less willing to do returns for issues. I was a bit concerned its getting worse, hope it's a one off experience.

For a 19-yo that's still great work. Singularity is an insanely complicated topic to handle, nothing wrong with trying though :).

I am not knocking it. I am just describing the inherent bias and my thoughts as from the title it almost seems as though someone made a major breakthrough; instead it's a more contemplative article. I don't know if the ? was added

Not to burst anyones bubble but this was written by a self taught AI engineer who is 19 years old. I mean this might be a joke (April Fools!). I mean, thats nice and all ... but who's 19 and not ultra positive about their work/lif

"best performers work" With a title like that you really just cannot take this study seriously lol. Not to say it's not interesting but that is one crazy claim, at best title should be "most effective interviewees."

This is some kind of marketing click. No real insights, junk reporting from some somewhooo CEO trying to sell something.
