Edit: never mind. Reading your other comments it occurs to me you really are that obtuse.

As someone else in another thread pointed out, the helldivers IP is owned by sony. They may have no choice.

Yeah, audio and video workloads really need the ram. The base model is fine for content consumption though.

The problem is the electrical resistance of the socket. Most of the performance on apple silicon is achieved through extremely high bandwidth, low latency memory. Unfortunately that necessitates a socketless design at the moment, and you can see that happening on the snapdragon X too.

If you give that response, the other commenter vaporizes. Fascinating!

Why is nobody able to admit when someone has a point anymore? Learning and collaboration should be the point of the internet.

My hisense google tv connected to an open wifi network and updated without being told to. The update broke CEC and hdmi arc. I cannot adequately express my rage at this moment.

Also that account is BRAND NEW, as in less than a day.

Yes, I have one and remember doing just that.

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.

I am nearsighted and wanted a ~75” tv for the bedroom so I don’t have to lay sideways on my glasses while watching and cuddling.

I could not find a single non-smart tv in that size. Nobody is interested in selling dumb TVs because there is money to be made :/

It’s extremely difficult to find a dumb tv in sizes larger than ~55”. You really don’t have much choice at the moment. I personally host a jellyfin server and play that via apple tv over hdmi, but content recognition still does its thing. Best i could do was deny wifi/ethernet to the tv and have no open networks.

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

Dude. You are arguing with people who are explicitly NOT tankies. Nobody is claiming communism is a solution, just saying that going for the anti-intellectual guy with no implementable policies is not going to help. He is a rent seeker that is good at riling up crowds.

He is a populist.

Admittedly I am in a weird situation where consoles and steam deck are both off the table. I am a bit of a framerate junkie. 30fps is unplayable.

Amusingly my m1 max macbook can actually hold 120fps in final fantasy xiv and actually has a 120hz screen, but those specs for the price would make no sense if this wasn’t also my main productivity system. The battery life, heat, speakers and screen quality are all huge bonuses in this case.

A steam deck would never satisfy me, so a gaming laptop would have been mandatory for travel if not for my macbook.

The bigger point here is that if you need that kind of power, it comes with compromises to battery life, heat, and device longevity.

Apple silicon is just fast enough for most workloads you want on a laptop, and can handle surprisingly heavy video workloads. For anything more, a desktop is a better idea than a laptop anyways.

There’s definitely a niche for desktop replacement class laptops, but that is a niche. Gaming laptops are still king though. You don’t buy a macbook for gaming.

At max usage, an m1 has a hard time overheating. The hardware is really good this time, and the previous overheating was due to insufficient cooling hardware.

Even if apple adds features that run the cpu/gpu/neural cores as hard as possible, overheating is not really on the table the same way it was on x86 macbooks.

Amusingly there are a lot of fetish gear Etsy shops that are still above board, but not much else in my experience.

Lightning peripherals. They are rare, but do exist.

This is likely just a stopgap solution for a niche audience.

Dualsense + usb c video out to a tv or monitor. You now have a console. Seems pretty cool to have around honestly.

Just need sideloading for emulators and i am happy.

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