- Comment on apple users in a nutshell 1 year ago:
The setting is still on my Windows 10 PC. It’s still relevant since they’re still shipping it with Windows.
- Comment on I want to walk on the first mold that grew on this giant cosmic trash heap. 🥲 1 year ago:
The ability to go “spectator mode” and see many events throughout history unfold in front of your face would be an amazing power.
- Comment on apple users in a nutshell 1 year ago:
I’m sure you have the options disabled that show this kind of stuff but it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Anyone who is not tech savvy (99% of the population) will have no clue how to turn this stuff off or that it’s even an option.

Have you ever opened the start menu? There are ads there.

Wow it’s true. Linux users are like vegans. You never have to wonder because they’ll tell you they are whether you care or not
- Comment on 8GB RAM in M3 MacBook Pro Proves the Bottleneck in Real-World Tests 1 year ago:
This is referring to the vast majority of users. At least for a few years
The “vast majority of users” does not know what RAM is and they don’t know what expandable memory means. Nor will they ever open their own laptops. If the laptop is slow after a few years they will just get a new one.
- Comment on Youtube Abblock Reckoning as a service problem? 1 year ago:
Yep. They use and sell your data whether you block ads or not. So they’re still making money off of those of us who block ads. I don’t owe them anything lmao. It’s sad seeing so many people in other threads defending YouTube/Google while they’re increasing the price of premium and locking shit like background play and higher bitrates behind a paywall all while selling out data. Nah fuck em
- Comment on Google turns to regulators to make Apple open up iMessage 1 year ago:
If the alternative is trusting Google I’d rather stick with SMS
- Comment on 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple 1 year ago:
I’m trying to imagine the mental gymnastics you must have gone through to conjure that up :wheeze:
- Comment on 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple 1 year ago:
Literally a lottery. I used to do laptop repair for my job. HP makes the shittiest computers I have EVER seen so you’re extraordinarily lucky.
I lost count of how many HP laptops with broken hinges came across my desk. Too many. If you don’t know this issues exists it’s willful ignorance
- Comment on 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple 1 year ago:
Yes, several. Acer Nitro, Dell Inspiron 7000 series, several Lenovo Yogas, too many HPs to even keep track… If you have done laptop repairs at all for work in your life it’s honestly not even an uncommon sight.
Now in the last generation of MacBook apple made it so that the flex cables were too short and flexing the hinge back and forth over time would cause the screen to go, but I’ve never seen a MacBook with broken hinges from normal use.
Other brands do not do this because it is cheaper. Most do not pass those savings off to customers.

Looks like you need to go back to school because that wasn’t even me LMAO, you don’t even know who you’re talking to.
I know that there are several Windows laptops that can match M-series performance or even beat it but there are 0 laptops on the market that can do everything better the MacBooks can. With windows you choose between portability, performance, and power usage. You don’t have to sacrifice any on a MacBook.
- Comment on 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple 1 year ago:
They haven’t sold FusionDrives in years.
- Comment on 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple 1 year ago:
They all have access to the same hardware. And MacOS, despite the gaslighting in this article, isn’t any more performant on the same hardware in the real world.
Ah yes please tell me which PC OEMs are using the M-series chips 🙄
Also AFAIK no other company makes their laptop top case/lid out of a single piece of metal. ALL other laptops glue/epoxy the hinges to the lid and they will (sooner rather than later) break. So if durability is what you’re looking for Mac’s are still built better than all other laptops.

lol sure if you don’t mind an aircraft carrier and mini oven on your legs. Trust me I used to use one of those 200W laptops and honestly I didn’t even need a blanket in the winter because they run SO hot. not to mention odds are it will last a lot longer not running at those insane temps (which literally approach the max safe operating temp of the CPU on some laptops)
- Comment on 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple 1 year ago:
And this is all ignoring the fact that this is a scam statement that should be struck down by the FTC. You can’t call an 8 gallon gas tank equivalent to a 16 gallon gas tank even if your car has better MPG.
lol good luck when Tesla literally charges $12k for “full self driving” software that does not do what’s advertised nor do what was promised over the last 10 years the CEO has been selling it. FTC and other orgs are toothless when it comes to false advertising, they’ll do nothing.
- Comment on Republican Senators 1 year ago:
Right it was a Democrat who ordered the military marched into the Middle East based on completely made up information only to kill millions 🙄
- Comment on How do poor people in the states give birth without money? 1 year ago:
Remote doesn’t pay the same if you’re not in a HCOL area. Most jobs scale based on location
- Comment on How do poor people in the states give birth without money? 1 year ago:
Sure, maybe the hospital bills but raising 3 kids and going on vacations every year? You’re talking multi million dollar salary to be able to afford all of that on one income in SoCal of all places
- Comment on Too many products are easier to throw away than fix—consumers deserve a 'right to repair' 1 year ago:
I’d argue security updates are not needed too.
lol tell that to the people still running Windows XP/7 with an internet connection
- Comment on YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it 1 year ago:
AltStore with uYouPlus
- Comment on “X” Axed Headlines. That Sucks For Accessibility. 1 year ago:
11% can be substantial, especially if the users were the ones generating a majority of the “good” content for the platform. Just look at Reddit. User numbers may not be down that much, but the quality of the site is far, far worse than it was just a few short months ago.
- Comment on SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million 1 year ago:
“ I think that you will be able to fall asleep in a Tesla, is about two years away” Elon Musk, 2017
Yeah you shouldn’t believe anything this guy or his companies say lol
- Comment on The iPhone 13 mini is dead, leaving small phone lovers in a lurch 1 year ago:
Sadly I think the latest rumours were that they’d use the Xr/11 chassis for the new SE. hopefully not because if they use the 12/13 mini… oh boy it’d be great
- Comment on Intel makes Thunderbolt 5 official, promising speeds of up to 120Gbps 1 year ago:
Not in my setup. TB4 is necessary for me to be anvke to run my TV + other monitors. Also, I’ve used DisplayLink haha, never going back. It’s just a subpar experience.
- Comment on Intel makes Thunderbolt 5 official, promising speeds of up to 120Gbps 1 year ago:
Yep, got the Razer TB4 Dock Chroma when the M1 MacBook pros came out, think it was $350. It’s VERY nice to be able to go from desk to couch when WFH and have everything right where you left it, but damn it’s pricey.
AND mine already died once as well. Replaced under warranty but it was a hassle that took a few weeks
- Comment on Twitter’s rebrand to X may actually be happening soon 1 year ago:
So he wants to built WeChat for US, but everyone here will either be on WhatsApp or iMessage, and good luck moving people from either of those platforms, it’ll never happen. Especially given his continuously worsening reputation.
- Comment on Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month 1 year ago:
Personally I become a member of the channels I’d like to support or join their Patreon if they have them and then use AdBlock+SponsorBlock and uYou+ on mobile.
If you pay for premium Google is still collecting all of your data and using it for their own game. Why support them at all?
