The troll is pushing the usual current 3rd party vote bullshit. Either they are incalculably dense or they will be gone after the US election. Make of that what you will.

It makes sense if you are a telecom company that refuses to upgrade infrastructure to handle more subscribers.

So… Findom?

That superstition unfortunately gets a lot of sweet cats killed or neglected.

I’ve had one apart and to be fair they are not carelessly made. They’re jacketed in soft silicone under the braid and have thicker than average stranded conductors. You can totally use whatever cables you want, but theirs are built a little better than you’d think and they just feel nice.

Maybe this is a tactile/autism thing for me?

Not the person you responded to, but my m1 max macbook pro is used to dry run changes to my kubernetes cluster by running 4 virtual machines and networking them. My previous pc could pull it off fine, but my macbook can run a virtual cluster for hours on battery.

Because of the unified memory, you can use all of your ram as video ram for the purposes of running a massive LLM if you want local AI. there’s a plugin I run for VScode that emulates github copilot but runs entirely on device and offline.

Apple’s ARM implementation is really nice for getting a lot of specific work done. Mine spends most workdays docked and being used as my primary workstation.

We had a samsung 4k curved tv that has ads on the input menu, and the ad space is filled with a samsung ad if the set has never connected to the internet.

It also harasses you with a pop up about connecting occasionally on startup.

It’s bearable but absurd. We returned it on principle

I’ve recently been functional like this after taking acid two weeks ago for the first time. I’m nowhere near my neurotypical husband in terms of having my shit together, but it really seems to have made getting out of bed and functioning easier.

NGL i don’t know how to interpret that. I don’t know how long this will last, but it’s kinda nice not hating myself.

Actually that’s a pretty distinct possibility

Option 4: trump and the GOP in general still views his assassination attempt as the danger you have to live with to live in a “free nation”. It’s the cost of freedom. Something something “just because i got shot doesn’t mean taking everyone’s rights away is a good idea”

Growing up in texas, this is a very common view.

Didn’t like the tone of my last attempt to reply, so here’s a rundown from a hardware enthusiast perspective.

Single board computers with no thunderbolt cannot have an external GPU, and have soldered permanent processors

The U sku on that cpu denotes low voltage. That cpu will have much worse performance than you expect. Ghz numbers usually advertise boost clocks, not stable performance.

Even when an external GPU is an option, the memory bandwidth of thunderbolt is not sufficient to run most cards and will result in micro stuttering and overall reduced performance. Usually you lose ~30%-50% of your performance depending on the card.

To top all of this off, you cannot use the steam deck as a reasonable expectation for this class of hardware. The deck runs a custom APU with a beefier than normal GPU. You will not get that performance from the linked micro pc.

It’s just the problem that was brought up has been a solved issue for quite a while. It’s cool if they didn’t know though, i can see the redesigned big picture mode isn’t well advertised.

The integrated graphics on that system are still pretty mid at best tbh. You would want a system with a discrete gpu. Otherwise i agree with the sentiment

As far as we can tell that was never an order or anything. The CMs seem to be cracking under pressure.

Yeah, audio and video workloads really need the ram. The base model is fine for content consumption though.

The problem is the electrical resistance of the socket. Most of the performance on apple silicon is achieved through extremely high bandwidth, low latency memory. Unfortunately that necessitates a socketless design at the moment, and you can see that happening on the snapdragon X too.

If you give that response, the other commenter vaporizes. Fascinating!

Why is nobody able to admit when someone has a point anymore? Learning and collaboration should be the point of the internet.

My hisense google tv connected to an open wifi network and updated without being told to. The update broke CEC and hdmi arc. I cannot adequately express my rage at this moment.
