It is 110% in a datacenter. I know that for a fact.

Ok then get off of it.

It does actually, yeah.

Datacenters are necessary for all digital infrastructure, like the internet and everything on it, including Lemmy. This comment of yours is stored in a datacenter.

Is there a WoW - retired housewife connection I’m not aware of?

Yeah I think you’re on the money now. I think the Neo is just genuinely a good deal even compared to non-Mac budget competition.

Problem with that is most jobs are using an AI ingestion and rating system. So if I were a job applicant who doesn’t like AI and prefers to hand write resumes but I need a job to feed my family, I’m going to just blast out the AI resumes anyway because it just has the highest chance of working.

That is the scenario that this data suggests.

The base model moves the most. It’s always been that way.

Except that it doesn’t, and hasn’t been that way in more than a decade. In any given Apple tech lineup the more premium options always sell the most. This is a surprising headline because it actually defies the expectation.

What you said would make more sense if you were comparing laptops across brands, but not when comparing Apple devices.

For the last six years the MacBook Air was the cheapest option with the MacBook Pro being the premium option. During this time the more expensive MacBook Pro was the best seller between the two when you look at consumer sales.

Apples low end something’s usually do not sell gang busters. Thats why they’re surprised here, because their cheapest tier of a given device line selling the most is pretty rare for them.

Yes, which is why this news is surprising.

It’s interesting because it completely bucks the normal Apple trend where the best selling devices are their most premium offerings. People who buy Apple devices don’t usually want the cheapest base models, those folks usually turn to cheaper mid-market alternatives from other brands.

The fact that MacBook Neos are their top selling laptop is objectively sensational news precisely because, and to the contrary of your suggestion, it was not predictable at all.

The problem with that is you still have to buy the rest of the computer to put that 3090 in.

My MacBook Air with 24GB of unified RAM is enough to run something simple and useful.

It’s good for the same things machine learning has always been good for. Language synthesis and analysis. Selfhosting something like Paperless for document management. It actually has a very rudimentary learning engine for document classification for a long time but feeding document content to a local AI model for organization tagging is very useful.

They don’t expire. Thats why they’re called forever stamps

Quick connect is not SSO. Because the topic is about non-technical end user friendly solutions, this isn’t a great one because this requires your user to login using a web browser on a different device and then use that for the quick connect and it’s just more clunky than it should really be.

It’s honestly easier in this situation to just configure your end users device with a mesh VPN like Tailscale or Netbird and then all they ever have to do is login with whatever password you gave them.

The plugin was neat, but if the clients don’t support it, it’s pretty much useless.
