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.

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

Sounds like serious insecurity. A lot of these memes are more along the lines of queer folk finding an accepting community and having fun posting things that would normally result in cyber bullying.

Also the boykisser thing has always just been a joke. Don’t take it as an insult or something.

Individual lawmakers have personal values and agendas. Humans are chaotic contradictions cloaked in a semblance of order.

Yeah i originally heard it was great, but that seems to have changed. Happens to a lot of good services

I have a roommate who used gitlab. apparently the current ownership is extremely profit motivated, and they still respond to DMCA takedowns.

No real upside except microsoft not owning them. Can’t even actually subscribe monthly last I’ve heard. Like, they show a per-month price, but you still have to do annual payments.

Their ipads and macbooks use usb-pd, and their chargers provide it. Not a guarantee, but a decent sign.

Find me a reasonably priced 70” monitor and i will hail you as the next coming of christ. That is the holy grail for me.
