“the best thing to do is go up to anyone of your preferred gender or presentation and say seductive phrases such as “let’s see that smile” or “where’s my hug?””
I know you’re probably joking, but I had a very visceral blech reaction reading this advice. 10/10 would again
I spent about a year arguing with C-levels that our fleet running 8GB was slowing down productivity, with evidence to prove it. It was like pulling teeth to procure some SODIMMs.
I’d still say this article is coming at things from the wrong perspective. That $700 Walmart M1 MBA is more than adequate for most kids doing school work, and/or grandparents farting around on FB. If you have a family and had to grab a few identical laptops, and you aren’t able/willing to be tech support, it really makes a lot of sense financially.
RvW was looking like it was going down: immediately got my shit together, stopped putting it off, and finally got snipped.
I knew what was next then and I’ve been seeing a slow burn towards the obvious consequences ever since. No regretti - but it’s a serious issue for everyone. Not everybody is Never Kids like I am.
I don’t have any experience with any brand other than AMD on Linux, but my understanding is that anything other than AMD dGPUs are a crapshoot if you’re wanting any more than display out.
Arc looks great, but the drivers are barely okay at Windows. I doubt 3D works acceptably in Linux.
Given Arc’s relative performance, for Linux grab a 6600-6600XT-6650XT-7600-6700-6700XT and call it a day. Don’t think too hard about it.
So here’s my perspective, as somebody who took many years of struggle and therapy to come to grips with the idea that I was abused and raped by a romantic partner:
For the person from the position of power, or a third party, you don’t get to decide the reality of the person experiencing the suffering. For the person it’s happening to - whatever their suffering is, it’s valid and real. That doesn’t belittle someone who has experienced worse. Everyone has their personal struggles. We’d all do better to consider other people’s experiences as valid and come at disagreements from a desire to learn and care.
Arguing for the sake of arguing is furiously jacking off your privilege boner for no real progress or useful outcome, other than feeling superior to someone lesser than you.
I have no earthly idea the context of why you’re asking though.
Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.
Both, but much more of my days are an Apple Watch SE2 than my DW5600.
I use it as a HUD - I want to know the exact time for work, current temps high/low, sunrise / sundown times, and a pop up for screening phone notifications helps me quite a bit with not checking my phone as much. I also appreciate wrist heart rate (for keeping anxiety in check,) compass is neat, and knowing the local dB is helpful for keeping my tinnitus from getting worse.
I never thought I’d like a smartwatch until I tried one.
Storage and RAM not being user upgradable is an environmental nightmare for sustainability.
Not having internal slots for storage and relying on USB or NAS is not an appropriate alternative for professionals regardless of what their leadership says is what professionals want.
We’ll never know, but RAM being part of the SoC is probably contributing substantially to their performance capabilities compared to competition. The only real way to know that probably requires being an engineer at Apple. I’d wager $3.50 that they’d get a substantial performance deficit from switching to DIMMs, and that terrifies them since that would further push everyone to x86 workstations.
That website is a wreck. I purchased some parts from EOE and everything turned out fine, but I also know that people have had issues with them as well.
I flash modded a 6th gen Classic. I enjoyed the miserable experience, and I enjoy using the iPod for 320k MP3 AUX playback, but honestly I think a modern device probably makes more sense. If not a smartphone with one of the Apple-Aux adapters, maybe something like the NW-A306. Lack of streaming support is bad. No real FLAC / “high-res” support is bad. iTunes is a mess.
