Instead, the batteries were probably fed to non-consenting animals.

Wonder how many failures it took for them to get the formula right 😬

Hopefully they performed initial tests in a bowl of acid / other simulated stomach/digestive environment.

I’ve got some bad news for the next time you go RAM shopping

You could use a second account on an instance that federates with everyone for discovery.

Outrage?

I build PCs for a living, I’ve been pitching gamers the 16GB baseline / 32GB futureproofing ‘no worries’ for more than 5 years now.

Reminds me more of the Gonarch

For me, ray traced lighting might actually make this look worse than the original on anything but higher end / recent hardware.

Been playing Crimson Desert and the lighting artifacts in RTGI are very distracting, really makes me wish for a traditional lighting option.

Peep the OP’s post history, they’re dropping this drivel in this community multiple times per day. Some might even call it ‘spamming’

While some of the comics might have the potential to be mildly funny, the unnecessary bimbofication of characters in every single comic detracts from that.

Some that I’ve seen teeter on the edge of misogyny and transphobia.

Overall vibe is that this was drawn by 14 year olds, for 14 year olds.

I run a repair shop, uGreen Anker Monoprice and CableMatters are our go-tos.

EVs already are much safer than ICEs

For the occupant or those who are involved in a collision with one?

EVs are heavy

If you can find the old .ipa app packages, you could use it as an offline devices for old apps and games that no longer run on newer iOS versions.

GrapheneOS is a “someday” that will rely on degoogling ither aspects of my digital life and setting up self hosted solutions for others.

The tech seems to have yassified Grace in the main promotional image that’s being used by every publication.

The rest of the images look improved, for the most part, and I do think it does make sense to offer this functionality as an option in the upscaling pipeline.

I’m sure that those repeating artist’s intention have never dared use a reshade or texture swap.

Hopefully, that yassification will be a side effect of the current state of the tech and not something that ships to end users.

This seems like it’s intended as a texture and lighting improver, not an “AI Slopificator”

Among the other screenshots, a lot of them seem to have a marked improvement.

Aspects of that Grace image comparison definitely look bad, but this is a work in progress that we’re getting a glimpse into. I really hope that bimbofication doesn’t make it into the final product.

Your graphics card is weaker than the minimum spec (GTX 1060 6GB)

You might consider buying it anyways and refunding within 2 hours if you’re not happy with performance

You’re not entirely wrong, in that the Apple Tax is real.

Nonetheless, the quality of the Magic Keyboard is substantially higher than that of a keyboard you can get for “few dollars”

Ultimately, your assertion was:

An iPad Air costs the same but comes with a much better M4 processor. The main difference is a less crap operating system in macOS.

An iPad Air with a keyboard that matches the form factor and build quality of a MacBook Neo does not actually cost the same, it costs an additional $270.

To a degree, yeah.

The laptop form factor is engineered with lid and palmrest assemblies, if you’re going to compare the two then you’ll want to add a nice keyboard to that iPad. Apple’s is $270.

Memory utilization is relative to the user though. For someone who wants to do nothing more than check their email and manage online banking, no specs matter (well, within reason, but people do use Chromebooks with 4GB RAM)

Just because such a system would not be suitable for your use-case does not mean that it is not suitable for any use case.

The iPhone 16 Pro is a very capable device, yet it “only” has 8GB of RAM. We don’t have the full picture for these new devices, but it’s possible that Apple will be handling memory in a similar manner to iOS, making it possible to do more with less.

Repairing broken hinges on such a cheap laptop practically has to be a DIY repair. I get this exact repair inquiry every now and then, the owner often balks when the repair cost is more than 50% what they paid for the device. For these low-end laptops, I also find that parts are usually less available than those for most Apple devices. Apple tends to use certain part designs / assemblies for multiple generations. Apple stuff is consistent enough that there are plenty of used parts available aftermarket.

Far as your repair scenario is concerned, I can only think of 2-3 times where a Mac came in with hinge related failure and those cases all stemmed from abuse like opening the lid too far / egregious mishandling. Meanwhile, I’ve bread lots of butter with HP laptops whose hinges break through regular operation.

If something costs more to fix but only breaks 1% as often, are you really saving money by purchasing the cheaper solution with the higher fail rate?

There’s more to a computer than RAM (or even ither specs), comparing what’s shown in the article to the low-cost option you linked the two systems are leagues apart in terms of build quality.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the battery life was miles apart too.

That cheap plastic HP laptop is destined to have its hinge mounts snap away from the upper palmrest through normal day-to-day use.

Lots of MSPs have already been doing / selling this exact thing for years.
