You can’t just say that and leave come on
The moon, probably
Yes, pure html pages are so much better and nicer to use!
hypocrites?
Yeah so what I’m saying is if they got paid enough, same or more than what they’re getting with tips, we wouldn’t need to tip.
Maybe they are pushing for higher tips because they aren’t paid enough?
Sync does the exact same thing.
If ads are removed, no tracking takes place.
Sounds pretty clear to me, no tracking if ads are removed
Windows on ARM is really incomparable to MacOS on ARM, it’s like comparing a 15yos Hello World to a senior engineer’s 10yo project.
Yes, for simple web browsing ChromeOS is just fine, but you can do so much more with a fullblown system. The performance is also in another league.
I honestly would say that the 16GB mbAir is good value, if it fits your use case (no gaming / heavy x86-only programs).
Don’t forget Apple makes a shitton of money from services (AppStore, iCloud…), which often make a lot more money than hardware (so Sammy is at a disadvantage here).
I’m not trying to convince you the Apple’s awesome, I don’t think that myself either (on the contrary), but their chips just are pretty awesome
They’ve built a translation layer in for compatibility, though it’s not perfectly fast, it’s more than good enough from what I’ve heard.
It being Unix based definitely helps, though don’t doubt Apple wouldn’t have been able to deal with it if that weren’t the case.
The chips really shine in laptops, I’d say desktops are a bit weaker, unless you’re doing something heavily optimized (Final Cut Pro f.e.).
The biggest win is energy consumption, the difference is insane, I recommend you look up a benchmark or two, can range from 2 to 10x more efficient.
I honestly don’t agree though that they’re 3x the price of comparable products, the new Macbook Airs are pretty solid pieces of hardware for an okay sum of money. It really depends on your workload though, if you’re gaming, you’re gonna have a terrible time, if you’re a dev / work in the browser / do some light editing you’re gonna love the battery life and perf’s not gonna hold you back.
They use ARM now, which is super efficient, the laptops last forever on battery.
If there’s one thing Apple’s done right, it’s Apple Silicon
$350 in hardware sure, hardware that someone had to design and especially nowadays with Apple Silicon, that shit doesn’t come cheap
I was mostly kidding, though it depends on the problem itself - if I need an explanation for a function argument, no point testing shit if the docs answer it in 15 seconds. If it’s something more solution-y, I might do some testing before consulting the papers
Yea coz that’s boring and for nerds
It’s kinda been agreed that it’s the best connector right now, with a lot of future-proofing built in (you can already see it f.e. with Thunderbolt, the same cable, massively different capabilities over ther years OR, from the power distribution side, it going all the way up to 200(ish?) watts lately
They are considered green because they’re as green as fossil fuel gets (pretty much) and they’re very important for base load and peak covering
If you’ve got a VPN running, it won’t work. Turned it off and the prompt came right up
you can run store doom
Quick correction, the Pi5 is the new one
