  Completely.

  if your talking homebrew on Mac, then your not just doing “basic” things

  Using homebrew on Mac is obviously not a “basic thing on Linux”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  if you get a machine that is specifically meant for Linux

  LOL those are all like $2k

  if fractional scaling is causing issues just double your scale.

  I don’t think you understand what this is…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The processor isn’t the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t just have the wrong processor, it’s been modified at the firmware level to reflect in the system a CPU that’s not installed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t matter what the usecase is if the Wifi or speakers or camera don’t work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Ubuntu? Yeah. It’s pretty much the only distro I will recommend against using (the Ubuntu spins are usually fine though). They offer Fedora as well though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just not interested in rehashing this conversation. Anyone who has used Linux already knows, even if they won’t admit it. I used Windows for 30 years and never touched any kind of CLI in that time. I did use it on MacOS but only for Homebrew because there’s no other GUI alternative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldn’t disagree more. Having to learn how to use the command line to complete basic tasks is a huge learning curve.

  We have Wanderer, which is actually excellent, except it’s only for sharing trails, and not activities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not gonna lie, Linux is a pretty big learning curve, but it’s worth it to get away from Apple and (especially) Microslop Winblows. It’s the only OS that respects the user.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d give them flack for using LPCAMM2

  Why would you do that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not until everyone starts doing it. This used to be the norm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re usually also well supported on Linux, and even sell them with Ubuntu pre-installed. Generally not a terrible brand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  At $500 it’s not a bad value. Could still do better on the used market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People keep saying to buy this thing all the time, seemingly unaware of the fact that every Apple product has an expiration date, when Apple arbitrarily decides that it’s “obsolete”. That 2020 MacBook has like 1 year of life left in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not what I believe and it’s not what I’ve said. I was very clear about what my position and you’re just intentionally misrepresenting it. You’re being blocked now, goodbye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This would eat MacBook Air’s lunch with 16GB (market-wise). They’re just intentionally kneecapping it again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes because your comment was so witty…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So we’re back to “everyone is stupid except for me”.

  No we’re not. I’ve already addressed this, please scroll up.

  Customers want thin, light, and good water resistance.

  1. We already had several models with all of those things
  2. Even the iPhone Air is thick enough to fit a headphone jack.
  3. For the third time, none of this is about what consumers want.

  So we’re back to “everyone is stupid except for me”.

  If your strategy is to repeat the same nonsense over and over without addressing my rebuttal then you can go ahead and stop replying to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay so there’s not even an option for increased RAM, huh? 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I only see a $600 option. What’s the $700 option?

  I really don’t think any of that is to blame, it’s always been that way. The blame it’s squarely on LLM search. People really do believe the nonsense these bullshit machines pump out. I have people sending them to me all the time. And I see creators using screencaps as sources as well. People are fuckin dumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨https://www.androidauthority.com/desktop-mode-march-pixel-drop-3646069/⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been waiting for this for a while. Is it really “stable” though? There’s very limited info on this but what little there is seems to suggest it’s not ready.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why isn’t that good enough?

  Why isn’t people liking something they were swindled into paying way too much money for not good enough? Do you really have to ask that?

  It’s absolutely about the average consumer

  It’s absolutely not. It’s not about what the consumer wants at all. These companies didn’t remove them because customers wanted them removed. They removed so that they couldn’t use them anymore.

  And how does that help the competing manufacturers who also removed their 3.5 jack?

  Because they also made buckets of money removing them. Every fucking one of them removed the jack and then immediately introduced new Bluetooth headphones that were several hundred dollars. Even Fairphone went down this hole.

  No one makes money selling $7 wired headphones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  LMAO you actually bought into that 8GB = 16GB marketing nonsense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously: yep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A fancy processor is meaningless without RAM. It’s like a Lamborghini rolling on bicycle tires.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no such thing as a “flawless” LLM

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Power is meaningless without RAM.
