Why would anyone buy this over a good as new refurb 16 pro with 100% battery and likely few months of Apple care left? Here they can be found for $650 or less

greenpresident · 10 days ago

They will be bought in bulk by businesses. The same for some of the laptops what you might find in a strange place within the lineup.

This is an example of what I am talking about.

You know you can just buy it?

greenpresident · 2 months ago

It’s built in. There is a dedicated button for it. Hard to justify imho.

These sort of shenanigans for even basic lanekeeping makes a very strong case for more open source solutions like comma

Pressing the lane assistant button on a Mercedes steering wheel and getting a “you’ll need to activate your subscription first” message really drove up my blood pressure.

We paid 1000€ for a Miele dishwasher, the cheapest model is 800€. You can get a Bosch for 500€ right now, but these are black Friday deals (the site says the original price is over 1300€, but I doubt they never sell them that expensive). Although they seem to be on sale quite often.

The Miele laundry machine was 700€ back in the days and the fridge 1400€.

So, it is not that much more expensive here in Germany.

List prices are not real when it comes to the kitchen. They exist to be „limited time“-offered.

it says "up to 14 hours more than intel based mpro", which means intel was designed to last 10 hours which matches what was advertised https://web.archive.org/web/20201109092341/https://www.apple...

we went from 10 hours to 24 hours in 5 years - impressive

i wonder why they advertise gaming on the laptop, anyone plays anything Meaningful on macbooks?

Baldurs Gate 3 runs great on m4 pro at 1080p (I’m on a Mac mini though).

Last as in "works" is a very low bar, they are going to have severely reduced capacity, which also affects performance.

Is this[1] what easy looks like?

Ifixit score of 7 plus best parts availability of any phone makes for a great combination in my mind.

How would that argument go? As far as I understand it, the DNA of the occupants of said lab may be found. That would mean that the criminal samples may also contain DNA of the lab occupants/scientists. Isn’t that the case currently as well and those DNA parts would be omitted?

That would ideal, yet we still got things like this:

You want even cuts you throw it into a blender

That’s the engineering solution.

You could also hire two interns to do it layer by layer, call it the consultant‘s solution.

I’m always confused as to why people are so paranoid about storage size. I got the base MacBook Air and an external 2TB drive for cheap. Super fast and I never worry about anything - I didn’t even manage to get up to 50% of my 256GB drive.

greenpresident · a year ago

There is a generation of tech users that downloaded TB of media for local storage. It’s just not something a lot of people do anymore but it created a psychological need, even if it’s not a technical necessity.
