- Comment on 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple 1 year ago:
I would definitely agree to that. Even as I used it, I could see certain elements designed in a way that would suit a trackpad better.
The worst part was the scrolling experience. It was either too slow or too fast. Could never scroll at a comfortable speed. Never feel this way when I sometimes use my colleagues’ macbooks (my company provides Macs, but I need certain applications which necessitate a Windows machine for me).
- Comment on 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple 1 year ago:
Thanks for saying this, it’s such an unpopular opinion.
I got a Mac Mini last year and it was dreadful. I used nothing but the Mac for 2 months and still couldn’t get used to it. Half the things required the use of birth mouse and keyboard, neither is sufficient on its own for the most basic of things. Finally sold it off and went back to my PC with dual boot of windows and Ubuntu.

Yes, which is why anyone spending anywhere close to this on a laptop gets 32 GB RAM

What, no! 8 GB Apple RAM costs 4 times that of 16 GB regular DDR4 RAM module.

What are you talking about, it always takes me to the right website when I search for the app I just installed!
- Comment on Top Apple analyst says MacBook demand has fallen 'significantly' 1 year ago:
I’ve already had it for one and half years. But yeah, still fairly standard.
Which is why Apple should have followed a 2 year refresh cycle for Macs. But they started moving to M3 within a year of launching M2.
- Comment on Top Apple analyst says MacBook demand has fallen 'significantly' 1 year ago:
I don’t know if they’ve increased the price so much that people are no longer buying it or that they made the M1 models so good that people don’t need to upgrade.
I have an M1 Mac Mini and I really don’t see myself needing to upgrade for at least another 3 years.

They’ll ship it to India/Thailand
- Comment on Google killing Basic HTML version of Gmail In January 2024 1 year ago:
I have had my Gmail account for 20 years (since the days of needed an invite). I have 100s of accounts where I have used the id. It’s just not possible to change my email id everywhere. I imagine this would be the case for many people.
- Comment on Apple 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro 1 year ago:
That’s the part you are missing. Modern charging doesn’t use standard USB power. That’s the whole fast charging landscape is addressing.
Read this www.androidcentral.com/qualcomm-quick-charge
The power brick can supply more than 5 V over a standard USB port because it’s not adhering to USB standards for supplying power. As a result, data and power are decoupled, allowing the power brick to supply more than a standard USB port over a connector and cable which are identical to USB ports and cables.
- Comment on Apple 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro 1 year ago:
Bro, you don’t really know anything about USB
The port being USB-C has nothing to do with USB 3.0
The port supporting fast charging has nothing to do with it being USB 3.0
Unless you have transferred data over the wire and seen USB 3 speeds, you can’t claim it to be USB 3 based on circumstances alone.
On the other hand, I can totally imagine that 99% people never transfer any data over the wire anymore. Airdrop is fast and convenient if you have a Mac and other solutions exist if you don’t. You can easily get 10 MBps+ transfer rates over Wi-Fi and that works fine for most people, if they ever need to transfer data over to a PC anyway. So I’m guessing Apple just took what majority would accept and went with it, just like any other company does these days.
- Comment on Tesla Full Self Driving Is Now 'End-To-End AI' 1 year ago:
There are many such hypothetical scenarios based on the trolley problem, but the real answer is that a good self driving system will never end up in that situation in the first place.
So as a dev, you just program to not let that situation arise, then you won’t need to program a solution for that.
- Comment on It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore 1 year ago:
Agree. Never heard of bereal either

- Comment on what is the current recommendation for a simple home NAS? 1 year ago:
Regardless of what system you use, your family members will always only have to connect to the shared folders. If they just want to backup and browse files, they won’t have to touch a terminal, ever. That’s the whole point of NAS.
So it’s really a matter of your budget and how much time you’re willing to spend setting it up. For instance, a 5-bay hard drive enclosure and an old 7th gen i3 NUC will do most of what a Synology DS423+ will do and will save youa about US $250. But the synology will take you 2 hours to setup and a few hours of tinkering if you wish whereas the NUC will take many hours of tinkering and setup, depending on your skill level. You’ll also end up with a less polished interface on the NUC setup.
So if you’re the kind of person who loves playing around with custom built system, pickup whatever you like and set it up to your preference. If you just want to get something and have it work, go for Synology.
Oh, and also, Synology shares a lot of data with Synology servers. Mostly it’s not a concern, but if you worry about that kind of thing, you might want to know beforehand.
