I am always amazed at how much people can bash Microsoft products when the whole reason to use them is often that they are the best thing around, with the most features and allows you to do things that would be hard/impossible otherwis

I think you are confused, MacOS definitely necessitates specific kernel drivers to get the lowest latency possible and some other features. Every high-end audio interface has its own driver that you need to install just like on Windows. Oth

It's interesting and all but in typical "Apple switcher" fashion, a preposterous comparison is/will be made: the M4 Pro MBP is around 3K€, replacing a laptop that seems to go for around 1K€ at best. When something costs

Yes the conclusion is baffling. As you say I believe the correlation is reverse causality. It's much more likely that people who consume stuff with "artificial" sweetener are already at risk for stroke than the other way arou

That's a bullshit myth. Actually, CoreAudio is implemented in such a way that the minimum latency is 2 samples when you can go down to 1 with some drivers on Windows. Macs are "good" for audio, because audio people tend to do

I believe autism is stigmatized and presented as something wrong because most people do not want to engage in honest/candid conversation because it might hurt their feelings. People are always looking for plausible deniability and weap

Yes as I suspected you actually have no clue what you are talking about. You are listing stuff like a recipe as if you can just shop around for those things. Silicon production is an energy intensive process; you need 11-13 kWh per kg of si

Yes so much. I miss those years, it had personality, it was so cool and at the same time so functional. Alas Apple is now chasing money at all costs they couldn't make good software if their life depended on it.

Can you build an industrial plant to build the panels only using solar power? How and from where do you source the necessary primary materials for such an endeavor? If you try to answer those questions you will see that you are bullshiting

Yes but it's a lie of sorts. It's only reduced at the local level in some specific places on earth. What's more the local reduction has NECESSARILY been linkend to an increase in fossil fuel use to actually build, transport a

Yep pretty much stupid. The best interpretation you can give is that they are naive idealists, stuck in the mental state of a kid (even though their intelligence is fully developed). But as I'm getting older, I'm more inclined to

This is a ridiculous point of view. Those things are not mutually exclusive; you do not need to have complete proprietary lockdown to have a properly built quality battery. Humans will lie and cheat for profit but at the same time humans al

Yes, this is the main reason for doing "cloud" I believe. Otherwise, it would make no sense for someone like Adobe to adopt this model, since the softwares still largely require to run locally for technical reasons. It's the

There is such a mythology around that it's basically religious fervor at this point. Apple stuff isn't any better or more convenient than any other brand. The gold standard is multi-point Bluetooth which Apple doesn't do beca

I used to think like that because it's very much a core tenet of the mac/apple ideology (it's basically a form of narcissism at the level of a brand). But the actual reality is that the OS does not matter that much. The appli

Couldn't agree more. And recently they have mostly increased frequency to stay competitive, at the expense of heat, throttling and to a minor extent battery life (not that much because some efficiency was gained elsewhere). They look

That's exactly how it is. Outside of a few viral apps, most of the rest are word of mouth or blog post/reddit/YouTube recommandations. Apple has very little to do with an app success which is why it is egregious they ask so m

They are cartoon level bad. I don't think they realize how much they are destroying their image in the eyes of their best customers. It is an extremely short-term strategy; they are doing irreparable damage in my opinion. I kind of lik

Because on android you can install another background service that can replace the features of the google service. This is pretty much what the Chinese did when they forked Android. There are alternative app delivery/update mechanisms

At the extreme of 10KM range we are taking about 2.4kg of glass maximum. Spread of over 10km. It is largely insignificant. Even if you had 100 drones starting from the same exact place and going to the exact same place you would find 24g

Of course they are less precise. And in most cases, they need quite a few rounds to adjust their aim at the target, so his comparaison was already stupid unfair. He takes into account all the drones that don't work and then goes on and

Even so called "emotional intelligence" has been shown to been closely linked to general intelligence. Turns out being smarter makes you better at reading people's emotions from stimuli details. This kind of bullshit has bee

Yes and it's not just purely cognitive tasks. In fact, pretty much everything requires you to use your brain, so smarter people tend to do better on pretty much everything regardless of their familiarity/talent for the task at han

It's pretty sad that this is something that many people consider "wrong". There is always some sort of nonsense about being able to do more with money because it gives you power or something like that. And of course, we keep

Maybe that's not the case anymore or it's not everywhere in Germany, but when I was there in my youth, there was a mandatory religion "course" in gymnasium that was solely about Christianity. If that's not a form of

That's hilarious. Germany has the complete reverse problem; the indoctrination is largely happening at school. It's probably one of the worst countries in the EU on that matter. It's also an extremely stupid and authoritarian

Yep, those are the things (among others) I wish I could have on my iPhone. I'll eventually switch but I need to choose a replacement for the Apple Watch and find a way to migrate/convert all the health data. It feels so bad to ha

They do Face ID because it's cooler and for unreasonable ideas about "security". As if most people are enough of a target to mess around with bio identification. Apple best product is marketing by far; this is just one of the

Yes, I think there is a lot of social pressure that is driving all of this. I doubt it's only about body dysphoria, because after all you may alter it a bit but still you cannot deviate that much from what you were given in the first p
