Exactly. I'm amazed people are still contesting basic stuff like this. It's not open for debate, it has been proven in many ways. In fact, one can set out to prove it to himself, by just using an accurate enough smartwatch and pre

There is no physical output to acquire but it's not for nothing. In exchange you get a natural anti-depressant and a good load of positive hormones. On top of that you get fitness that can be used at any time for any situation and you

You don't have to stop thinking. Just switch to thinking about other stuff that is more interesting to you and potentially more complicated. AI will never completely replace human thinking; it will just ease the annoying/boring pa

If the task takes "dozens of seconds" on the PC, there is no way it is shortened to millisecond on the Mac. Unless you purposefully make it a bad comparison to favor the Mac. I'm going to call it and say that you are full of

I just replaced a quite cheap Windows laptop that was over 10 years old for an old person. It was just fine. The only reason it got replaced was because the battery was completely dead and being so old you couldn't find the part. Not t

I run Windows 11 unofficially on hardware from 2014, it was relatively high-end but it runs just fine (in fact it feels snappier than some modern systems). If you try to run the latest OS on dirt cheap hardware, it's going to run bad n

Yeah, "Windows 11 is bad" is a meme at this point (you can buy the Pro version if you are an advanced user and then it's mostly fine). macOS and much of the Apple software is just as bad if not more nowadays. They constantly

Agreed. I'm a Mac user first but I have spent a lot of time in Windows in past years. Now that I have been used to both, I think much of the macOS multi-tasking behavior makes very little sense and is a major pain in the ass. Switching

So basically, that kills the whole argument about Apple Silicon efficiency. Which I know is almost a lie, since it's quite efficient but if you really hit the SoC hard you are still getting around 3hrs battery life at most. Of course,

Apple is extremely dumb with power management and power supply. That's because they pretended to innovate all the way back at the start and want to pretend, they still have the expertise. But I have had 2 iMac power supply die one me,

Yep, this is pretty much how they operate. Apple has always done that to some extent. Sometimes they are even quite clear about it and use it as a marketing point to push upgrading.

You can tell the Adobe UI isn't native but it's actually pretty good. In fact, I believe they had the right call since Apple frameworks are too limiting for complexe software like that and they needed the cross-platform compatibil

Full VMs make much more sense indeed, because they allow you to run fundamentally different OS while still keeping the host mostly the same. And they basically show that with the FreeBSD addition. The syscall way is just a form of emulation

by seec 1y ago
Exactly. Apple has always been inherently duplicitous and knows how to manage image/communicate very well. Marketing is actually one of their best products. With all the control they have on the App Store (and they have showed they are

Yep. My brother actually has a Surface Book. It's a pretty cool device but severely let down by the hardware. The separation of the GPU is actually a problem and not something I find worthwhile but they didn't have a choice to ena

Yes I agree about the engineering tradeoffs that require but the point is, as you hint, that they are actually already there and it's mostly a business decision. I have tried the iPad Pro dock solution and it's exactly what motiva

The problem with that argument is that people are free to choose for themselves and asking for authoritarian control of a whole system just because some people might be dumb enough to fuck up is completely crazy. By this standard, people sh

Agreed. In any way you put it, when you push the "argument" to its retranchement, it equivocates to: we should ban usage of paper/pen/printing press because those things can be used to make propaganda for other groups th

Except people usually try to find ways around moral problems. For now, the pressure isn't too big but I think at some point the buildup will be too much and the fall for Apple will be very harsh.

As far as I'm concerned Wifi is a "solution" for lazy or incompetent people outside of mobile devices (who do really need it to be useful). Network cable is cheap, crimper is cheap, creating a simple network in your house is

Yep I also think that's the plan. But I really doubt their approach is good, in my opinion it's like how they "managed" HiDPI displays implementation: take a shortcut to make it easier for them (and in some ways 3rd par

Yes and for things like manipulating maps/photos (zooming and scrolling around) it's quite convenient. The point is that it's stupid to not have it in laptops that cost this much money anyway. Anyone who doesn't want to

Well it's useable sure but also not very good/useful. From a directions/routing standpoint it's pretty decent and I'm OK with how the route planning works. But they miss many POIs and the data they have is often st

The worse thing is that they managed to use even more white space in some place. In recent iOS (and macOS) it was already becoming very dumb, people got bigger displays only to show more space instead of content but they managed to make it

Yes that's what I think as well. The problem is that we have all been tricked into cloud syncing because big tech couldn't figure out proper local sync and they actually have incentives not to because they would really like you to

I agree, software development has become insane. It's basically people creating problems to justify their existence, very much like the bureaucrats. The reality is that the vast majority of people don't really need "self-host

That's an oddly specific search and even Google doesn't have any kind of tools for queries like that. What is more likely is that you'll find companies specialized in selling cabinets and they'll have a browser/sear

You got downvoted but I also think it's largely a pointless "technology" today as well. LLMs have been able to find stuff and excavate meaning without needing any kind of specialized tags or schema so it really is a crutch at
