It's a major hassle and if you are going to get a small box to plug in all kinds of other small box around it with a web of cables, you might as well get a bigger box and put it all inside... mini-ITX case start around 3L nowadays...

Yeah exactly my thoughts. I have been trying all kinds of services since 2010 and it always comes back to that. Even with very fast fiber, there is no realistic way to get the latency into desirable territory. It makes a large amount of gam

That's such an Apple fanboy trope. The bandwidth is shared with the GPU part that actually uses most of it. You can't starve the CPUs for data in typical PC with the "standard" DDR5 bandwidth and they have much higher b

Yet they made BootCamp. Do you see how foolish you look trying to defend nonsense? Apple try to avoid being too heavy handed in the lockdown because they know the outrage it would cause from their legacy customers. Boil the frog slowly. But

I use both OS on the same display and Windows looks much better on an "old" no Hi-DPI display, I can tell you that much. I used to dislike Windows font rendering, but it's still better than what macOS gives you for "regu

This is the biggest issue with Mac hardware at the moment. All because of a decision to make it easier for their developers (and 3rd party too I guess) to be able to claim they figured out high-DPI before everyone else. It comes at a large

Everything you list is basically part of any display that is not bottom of the barrel. Yes, it's a very good monitor but it would be crazy otherwise considering the price. And it has one fatal flaw: you can only connect to it with USB

The thing is, only Apple computers really need it, because of their technical choice on resolution scaling, where only x2 do not give you a blurry mess on macOS. 5K is nice but not necessary for other platforms, you can get a 4K display sca

So basically it's the same thing but with M4 and more RAM at the baseline. I suppose Apple would like us to be gratefull for that. Yet since it comes with only 256Gb storage standard, the minimum viable model is just under 2k euros wit

You need to have profit to make it worthwhile but the question is how much is actually desirable from a society standpoint. At some point profit extraction at the cost of everything else is undesirable...

Exactly and in my opinion, this is (in parts) what kills the value proposition of Apple hardware recently. If you are going to have to pay a lot for software, why bother with a platform that was supposed to simplify development to make it l

There is still a meaningful difference. Businesses usually need to have some profit even if minimum so they will run leaner for the same output because of efficiency. I agree that there are many big businesses bureaucracies but they tend to

Well it's pretty much the same with the SNCF in France. However, surprisingly it is still more reliable than the DB (less accident, more on time); which is quite shocking considering German's reputation...

I think smoking is particularly hard because most of the really bad effects come much further down the line. You can smoke for years (even tens of) without much problem and if you do some sports even the cardio/breathing effects are la

All of that is because the internet and more specifically the browser was made/evolved in a naive/idealist non-commercial mindset. It was for university research work at first, where paying for the content was not a question becau

OK that must have been the screenshot software and zoom producing the blurriness. In this new screenshot the rendering is perfect and one can't really tell any difference. As for Latex I think it's a strong desire to belong to a s

by seec 2y ago
Sure, Latex gives a nice output but you have to suffer through a lot for that. Look at the new screenshot, it's so close you can't really tell the difference without superposition. In any case, Typst seem so much nicer to use that
708.
by seec 2y ago
You have a Mac with fractional scaling, your screenshots show the common blurriness render issue more than anything else I believe. Apart from that there is clearly a size difference but I agree that it's quite close. I think it's

With the path Apple/Google are taking it looks like Microsoft will be the best bet for quite a while still. The thing with Microsoft is that while they lack taste and have some nasty corporate behavior, they are less greedy than the ot

No problem I was mean first. And you are right, I don't have enough competency to judge skill in this particular field. However, I was just relating what was happening on my computer, my experience. Out of the 30 or so tabs that were

I believe there is a point after which the higher dosage doesn't change much, but the duration of the trip. I have noticed the same effect with mushrooms (truffles) where basically doubling the dose didn't do much. I'm not ev

by seec 2y ago
I very much disagree, the effects are extremely similar, to the point where if one could match the active substance dosage as well as absorption rate, you would be very hard pressed to tell the difference. The relative difference is because

by seec 2y ago
LSD has somewhat the same effect but in a cleaner way. It's not really about the mushroom itself or the way you ingest it. That being said, mushrooms are not very good regardless so you can process them in a way that makes it palatable

by seec 2y ago
Yes, that's pretty normal, that's actually expected behavior. I think people saying it changed stuff are the ones having a problem in the first place (reality perception, lack of sensitivity or whatever). Just like alcohol, those

by seec 2y ago
I have tried and use those things (mushrooms, LSD, MDMA) just for fun and I think they are alright if you understand that it is just that: a fun experience, like alcohol or cannabis can be. But I agree that there is a large amount of people

Yeah Transmit is one of the OG Mac apps (OS X) that were great at a reasonable price. Sadly, they don't make them like this anymore.

I feel sorry for your problems, but to be honest I'm reading the discussion here to understand what others think and who exactly can buy in that sort of "too good to be true" ideal solution. Because to me it just looks like a
