The biggest about this is not being able to 'compress' images to 25%, but that you can now take (some) images that we're previously only low-res, and upscale them!

Which is kind of silly since Apple (notorious for 'my way or the highway') officially supports dual-booting Windows.

I hope that's a rhetorical question.. pretty much every company loves to shaft Europe on price, even with taxes considered. Although Australia has it even worse!

And here I thought the Netherlands was expensive.. 100 bucks a month + a 385 deductible. And our level of care is top of the world. Man do I completely un-envy Americans.

Then why does nearly every business use Google Maps and it's API for map features? You have to pay for maps access on a commercial basis, so they'd be stupid to ignore a free (and according to you superior) solution. My guess is y

.. so use Safari and Sublime. People seriously need to start ditching apps built on Electron and start using native applications again. Atom uses about 400-600Mb memory. So does GitKraken, and so does WhatsApp. The first two can be replaced

What's also completely dismissed is the erroneous result(s) that were around 18h battery life... my MBP is rated for 12hrs (of light use) and I've got it to 14 once, but I can't imagine getting to 18.

This one's already a '15 refurb. We'll see. Shittiest thing is that I don't have an Apple store in my university town or hometown, only APRs, and I can't miss my Macbook for too long (I do AI, so yeah..), so if they

Aww yiss muthafucka Thats very nice. Although I wonder what Debian's 'official' container format will be.. almost everyone else seems to be standardizing around Flatpak so it'd be nice if Debian did as well, especially s

Nope. And I say that as someone who wants to switch away from the straightjacket that is MBP + macOS. In broad strokes, yes, the XPS13 (and 15) are pretty close to the Macbook Pro's. However, since Apple has already been 'here&#x2

Packages are often kept at stable (but old) versions for a very long time. This is good for servers, but bad for users. Same goes for the kernel - again, good for servers, but not so much for new-ish hardware. In general its a very conserva

Remember that if you do it that way you can't have your /home encrypted by either Linux or macOS. Which is a very, very bad thing, for obvious reasons.

CentOS is meant to be a server OS and misses a lot of the niceties that Desktop Linux variants have.

Switch to Manjaro. Its to Arch Linux what Ubuntu is to Debian. Puts stability and ease-of-use before ideology.

Do you you use macOS, Linux or Windows? Because if it's the first, that's pretty weird behavior. macOS is very good at compressing and vacating memory as necessary..
