Independence is a complete illusion, especially in our modern globalized world. Someone has to pay you the money, so even if you go as a solo entrepreneur selling real stuff that you made yourself, you largely depend on your customers at le

I agree but if they want to double the price they really need to be a lot better. Last time I used it for a quick project (relatively simple yet complex restaurant menu layout) I really wished I had used Adobe stuff instead (paid for a mon

To be honest, that’s only one of the many reason to leave the Apple ecosystem in the near future. I think that many would be better off switching to Windows (or Linux if they can) but they still believe or are attached to how things use to

That's a very simplistic view. Like with all things, there is a point where more investment money does not make things faster or better. In fact, since pretty much everything is still dependent on people and social groups, if all the

As an Apple Watch user, I find this very funny, because data transfer between an iPhone and an Apple Watch is pretty bad too. In no small ways because of Apple insistence on slow wireless solutions with custom opaque APIs. So, Garmin may be

Well that depends where you buy, and I would argue that buying Surface device outside of sales/special offers is not a very wise decision. Those are MSRP not necessarily the price people will buy them at (unlike Apple). Even then, a S

Shhh. Don't break the Microsoft/Windows bashing sentiment, they really need to feel superior with their Apple ePeen. But yes, if you look at the market, 2K in a PC laptop will usually get something better than what Apple would lik

All that can be easily explained by infinite greed. Cook cut all the small things that weren't making enough billions and that's it. Oh, and he would like very much to sell you their overpriced lackluster cloud "service"

Where did you find me saying it was a hacker thing? And it's not simply about having a different opinion, those are perfectly fine. It's about saying things that range from deceptive statements to outright lies designed to satisf

It's almost as if there is something in a men that makes him not completely delusional and less susceptible to emotional bullshit rationalisation. Some day we, as a society, will rediscover the truth about women. One should note, that

But the reality is that if you want achieve that, at least one of the parents has to sacrifice their career, at least temporarily but that usually means a dead end in the long run. Without that there is just not enough time available in a

I don't know exactly what model you had, but the truth is 13" models from that time were a complete joke in terms of power for the price. Beating this in a thicker chassis with a more efficient processor is not exactly an achievem

That's just stupid wishful thinking from all the Apple propaganda. With the limited amount of RAM they have, the base level Macs are not as able as some other laptops that may be slower in computational power, (at least on paper and i

I couldn't agree more. I started my life buying/using Macs but nowadays I wonder why people make the financial effort considering the very large premium even though Macs don't do anything much better anymore. You are right th

In my experience, doing a hackintosh actually teaches you that Apple hardware is not that special and macOS works only because they make it easy for themselves. Then it becomes clear that if you don't really have an absolute need for m

Exactly, the caloric burn that allows you to consume more calories without trouble is just the cherry on top; it allows you to get treats without needing to restrict other important areas of nutrition. Taking the radical approach to banning

Yeah, this drives me nuts, this is insanely user hostile and greedy behavior at once. At the same time, they push you to buy their overpriced hardware (with limited availability/options) but if you dare buy not enough of it, they fuck

Yeah, this is how you realize fanboyism is nuts. As much as I loved the openness of original Mac OS X and its straightforward management, modern macOS is a pain in the ass for so many "advanced" interactions that I think it is que

Why do you say this about Windows? I was previously a macOS only user for a long time but now almost solely use Windows 11 because it mostly does what I tell it and that's it. You can set up the thing very easily to ignore pretty much

That's an artifact of them switching to the standard hardware platform of the industry for a while (basically a PC with some niceties on top). When it was PowerPC it was not as easy and your options were pretty limited. And now with th

As an "old" Apple customer, I'm going to say it's well deserved it's not like they didn't work hard for that to happen. Apple's behavior since a few years after Job's passing (around 2015) has been ap

Yes, that's basically it. Microsoft had the right idea they were just too early on it and cannot put as much money into it as Apple does. And they don't have a competitive enough chip to choose from their partners. If either Intel

That was probably thought about at some point but the thing is that Apple makes way too much money as it is to try anything, because they don't have to, at least for now. I'm pretty sure Apple's leadership knows about this po

Part of the answer was in previous comments: they are relying too much on “nice” humans instead of rationalizing processes. This is very common in the EU and in fact trying to do stuff that will lead to less people needed for a given outpu

You chose social convenience and niceties over quality work. That’s fine for an established company with secure revenue but in the long run it’s not going anywhere. If the less nice but more competent people gets hired by one of your compe

And this kind of nonsense is basically why EU tech scene will forever stay uncompetitive. I find it interesting that ASML got to where it is from the remnant of some Philips labs but I’m not sure they will manage to stay in top for long if

There is no consumer use case for that so basically inexistent market. It would be rather dumb of Nvidia (or any other for that matter) to willingly cut its entreprise margins for such a non product. The only one doing lots of VRAM are Appl

Considering how long it took apple to design a competent chip I think Nvidia will be fine for quite a while. Really their current hardware design is unparalleled and they even have some software lock-in with CUDA…

AMD really isn’t as good at the high end (by quite a decent percentage depending on the tasks) and in perf per watt term they are far ahead. Even on the gaming side the only thing somewhat saving AMD is their lower prices for traditional ga

If that’s accurate they are very close to the range of a compact gas car, at around the same price. Factor in the gas cost (especially in Europe) and it’s a pretty great deal. I hope they get to export them in EU to disrupt the market a bit
