They’ve redirected the page now that it’s getting attention, but here’s the archived version.

I’m very skeptical of their claims, but it’s possible they’ve partnered with some small number of apps so that they can claim that this is technically working.

Yes, 2023 is widely regarded as the worst year ever in gaming

I absolutely love Apple Silicon—the performance to power ratio is wonderful, and the high-speed memory makes things like LLMs work great—but the RAM upcharge is insane, and shipping anything “Pro” with 8GB of RAM should be criminal in 2023.

I really hope that Qualcomm can make some noise with their new laptop/desktop processors. Anything to light a fire under Apple’s ass and make them stop skimping on RAM.

We homeschool in North Carolina and get exactly zero dollars for it. You’re correct in general about the terrible effect that vouchers have on public schooling but incorrect about it being applied to homeschooling. I don’t know if it’s different in other states.

You can really spend $1700 for an iMac or $1800 for a MacBook Pro that come with only 8GB RAM in their base configurations. C’mon.

It’s gotta be Microsoft building it into Windows. The Apple Silicon transition wouldn’t have been nearly as smooth if people had to pay for, say, CrossOver or something to use their Intel apps. And the tepid response to the ARM Surface models makes me think that it’s a must, despite the UWP dream.

The good news is that Rosetta 2 shows it can be done extremely well!

I feel like this really worked out well for Drinks Company

Gitness goddamn code to compile

I hope this is the one thing that he actually follows through on. Drive a stake through it already

Thank you for posing that question! I think the tendency to blame Russia/China/whomever is a complete failure to address the actual root of the issue.

If everyone who works for a non-American intelligence agency suddenly lost the ability to post on the internet, would Americans start getting along better? Or would a significant percentage of Americans still have a reactionary hate fest running on their televisions every waking hour, their opinions reinforced by Facebook echo chambers full of other actual Americans? I think the difference would be so small as to be imperceptible.

When it comes to tearing each other apart and working against our shared interests, America has a well-oiled machine running that hardly requires any foreign intervention.

It’s definitely not the nonstop right-wing hate machine media infrastructure that’s entrenched in American life. And it’s most certainly not an American capitalist class that hoards the wealth and has every incentive to keep the working class at each others’ throats.

If someone tells you no or you try and fail at something, life actually just continues on from that point, and you can try other things

I went through way too many cases trying to find one that’s very slim and has a decently grippy texture. Aramid fiber (Kevlar) turned out to be perfect. I’m currently using this Pitaka case and love it. It’s a mere 0.65mm thick. The iPhone 15 ones seem to be thicker and more robust at 0.95mm, but they have the same case shape and grip.

At first glance, this makes zero sense, but once you dig in and read the details, it makes even less sense
