- Comment on Apple introduces M4 chip 1 day ago:
Man, if I didn’t already use an iPad, and weren’t responsible for creating forScore setlists for several other chorus members, I’d probably get something like that.
- Comment on Apple introduces M4 chip 1 day ago:
Thanks! I remember I didn’t like the Kindle Scribe (though I don’t really remember why). I’ll have to look through the others.
- Comment on Apple introduces M4 chip 1 day ago:
We even have Android eink phones now.
Sure, but I don’t really want to read sheet music off a phone. I need to be able to see the score and the conductor AND look like everyone else in the chorus, so I have to be able to hold it a good distance from my face.
- Comment on Apple introduces M4 chip 1 day ago:
Can you recommend some? I’m intrigued!
- Comment on Apple introduces M4 chip 1 day ago:
isn’t that exactly what E-Paper tablets are really good at?
I would love to use an e-Ink screen, because they play much better with stage lighting.
However, I’ve yet to see one that can do what I want the iPad to do, sheet-music-wise. I don’t only want to see it, I want to be able to make markings, scan scores, act as a pitch pipe and metronome, have an onscreen keyboard to plunk out the part I’m singing if I’m struggling to read it, etc.
(That also isn’t the only thing I use my iPad for, just the main excuse I have for owning one. I actually probably will buy the M4 Pro, but mainly because I already have a buyer for my current iPad and because it’s so much lighter.)

That M4 and OLED screen is gonna display the SHIT out of some sheet music for me.
- Comment on Apple introduces M4 chip 2 days ago:
Going from 512GB to 1TB is also going from 8GB to 16GB RAM.
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 3 days ago:
That’s weird, because my Ford PHEV was assembled in Kentucky.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 3 days ago:
You can also cheat. Reducing your meat intake some is better than nothing.
But then you lose your superpowers, as we all saw in the documentary Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
If you had a touchscreen, 8 was great. I ran 8 on my Yoga and enjoyed it. But I must admit 8.1 was significantly better than 8.
And 10 was better than 8.1, so I mostly disagree with you.
But yeah, I really didn’t mind 8/8.1.
- Comment on Tesla Lays Off Employee Who Slept In Car To Work Longer Hours 1 week ago:
Apple almost exclusively ships their software with their hardware. They’re still a tech company.
I see the point you’re making, and it isn’t a terrible one. But the thing is, Tesla isn’t valued like a car company. They’ve enjoyed a market cap at times greater than VAG and Toyota, the largest automakers, who ship orders of magnitude more cars than Tesla does. Tesla’s value has not been in its manufacturing capability but in its position in the market.
(That is likely to change going forward, as other automakers are catching up in the EV world and Musk has alienated Tesla’s core audience.)

President Trump appointed many liberals and globalists – such as . . . Jared Kushner
That’s right, Trump’s own son in law is not MAGA enough.
It’s not that he’s not MAGA enough, it’s the “Kushner” part. You have to remember, “globalist” is just the word they use for “Jew” to seem marginally more appealing to the average fuckwit.
- Comment on Terrifying reality of what airport security could actually see through an X-ray machine 1 week ago:
I’m well aware. Read what the person I replied to wrote, about how they don’t even use these scanners and use metal detectors instead. That is not my experience.
- Comment on Terrifying reality of what airport security could actually see through an X-ray machine 1 week ago:
Every time I’ve flown in the past few years they’re still using the scanning machines. I have PreCheck so I get to skip them and go through the metal detector, but the machines were still there scanning away.
- Comment on Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them. 1 week ago:
I’d put Turkey Run State Park near the top of the list for Indiana.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 1 week ago:
They are going to get one when a western tech company copies them to fill the vacuum they left.
When? Instagram/Facebook Reels are already a blatant copy. And YouTube Shorts is trying.
- Comment on The Tiny Ultrabright Laser that Can Melt Steel 3 weeks ago:
What would you want lidar in cell phones for?
iPhone uses LiDAR for range-finding on its rear cameras, and for 3D facial imaging on its front-facing “FaceID” camera.
- Comment on Whoops 3 weeks ago:
I’d say by sheer count the majority of Torx screws I’ve encountered have been for deck boards, not tiny tech screws. And they were excellent.
- Comment on Google Contract Shows Deal With Israel Defense Ministry 3 weeks ago:
Woof. That website is a trip. I suggest everyone check it before you believe anything in this comment. It all seemed fishy and then I started skimming and got to the anti-mask conspiracy shit.
- Comment on The reason why we never meet time travelers is because our civilization ends before the technology can come to fruition. 4 weeks ago:
Time isn’t really a thing, right? It’s just the chain of cause and effect, tied inexorably with space. There is only ever the present, the ever-shifting now. The past is a remembered state, the future is merely possible states.
Cause and effect happens more slowly or quickly due to relativity, but it doesn’t go backwards.
(Note, I am not a physicist.)
- Comment on Washington's Lottery AI site turned user photo into porn 5 weeks ago:
Nah, most of these generative models don’t account for previous requests. There would be some problems if they did. I read somewhere that including generative AI data in generative AI training has a feedback effect that can ruin models.
It’s just running a bunch of complicated math against previously trained algorithms.
- Comment on Greatest train robbery ever 5 weeks ago:
We mostly see trains when they’re around traffic, since that’s where we are. When they’re around traffic they’re slow, to reduce the likelihood of smashing up cars to provide entertainment for the internet.
But when they’re out in the middle of nowhere they haul ass. Relatively speaking. Obviously in the US our trains are nowhere near as fast as modern trains from developed nations.

Yes?
- Comment on Apple is reportedly exploring a partnership with Google for Gemini-powered feature on iPhones 1 month ago:
Remember the early days of Apple Maps?
If that’s an indication, Apple’s AI offerings will someday be as good or better than Google’s. Cause Apple Maps is pretty great these days, but was absolute garbage when they rolled it out.
- Comment on Reddit's new paid ads look exactly like user posts 1 month ago:
Because they have a creative marketing department who knows the cheapest ways to market things are to make it look like it isn’t marketing.
- Comment on Reddit's new paid ads look exactly like user posts 1 month ago:
It happens here, too. Like this shill post about the Scrub Daddy, where the comments are highly suspicious.
- Comment on Microsoft says it hasn't been able to shake Russian state hackers 1 month ago:
proggrammers
Also spelling, grammer [sic] etc.
There is a great t-shirt that says:
I’m a programar
I’m a programmar
I’m a programer
I write codeI love this shirt. So many programmers are awful at spelling. I do not, personally, suffer this malady, so I don’t own the shirt, but I still love it.
- Comment on Microsoft says it hasn't been able to shake Russian state hackers 1 month ago:
Linux anyone ?
I don’t want to sound dismissive, this is a genuine question and not an attack on Linux.
Other than security by obscurity, how is it possible that an operating system whose entire source code is available to hackers to peruse at will could be more secure than a closed source one?
