I think that’s the point though, they’re catering to the kinds of producer/professional that you list AND people who might want to do something that might need all that memory (there are plenty of scientific and AI workloads could easily chew through that)

Apple is also in the situation where as a business they will want to gain OS market share, but without the advantage of the PC platform that anyone can build a PC to meet their exact needs. If they’re hypothetically incredibly successful at their goal but with just consumer targeting hardware available, they’re leaving market share on the table by not providing hardware to fill the more niche use cases.

Now they could have done the provide loads of options thing, but it’s Apple, so they do their normal thing and have basically this one configurable model to serve all the possible non-average-consumers who want a workstation out there

Right, maybe I’m not getting it, but why is split view suddenly a browser feature?

That’s very much the job a window manager should be handling

The severity of each level is different

I think matching wine glasses is relatively uncontroversial, but also understandable if kinda mismatched. A contingent of matching tumblers is also fine but you need the random pint glasses too at the very least. I maintain a fully matching set of mugs is a red flag

Only if it’s intentional, it can easily be caused by ignorance/incompetence too

Ding dong the witch is dead

If you don’t keep an eye on politics, it only keeps an eye on you

It would be lovely if they all would

I’ve never seen any phone tell me why someone is calling, only who

Frankly, I’ve gotten to the end of many phone calls and still not known why someone thought they needed to interrupt my day with a phone call.

I’m glad this is an increasingly common view though tbh, we all got phones in our pockets a few decades ago, and no one really stopped to set the new line of etiquette that: yes, 99% of the time it’s pretty damn rude to think what you want to talk about with someone is more important than anything they could possibly be up to at that moment. Because that’s what cold calling someone without arranging it first really is, when you boil it down

Tbf the kind of cultural fusion cuisine you get when another culture successfully imports another culture’s cuisine, is super interesting to me. I’d say this stands separately from intentional fusion restaurants, this is more something that happens organically as a cuisine is adapted to the ingredients and tastes somewhere away from where it is invented.

The classic examples are Tex-mex and British curries, but every country has a few things like this. Japanese Italian is a pretty cool experience, not least of all because now I think about it there’s some places that are straight up Japanese/Italian cultural fusion, but others are more Japanese/Italian-American, so this thing can go deeper. And don’t get me started on the godlike German/Turkish magic happening on the streets of Berlin

Always been a fan of trying local cuisine when I’ve travelled, but I’ve more recently been trying to add places like the above into the mix, as it’s genuinely always been interesting to me

I was gonna say in the UK, a lot of modern slang over here comes from MLE (Multicultural London English)

Clearly this makes up a key part of our respective shitposting R&D divisions

Didn’t he do boxing for a bit first? Ngl I don’t really keep up with him

I don’t like any reality where the Japanese death forest YouTuber who decided to play boxer, is anything resembling a voice of reason

I more meant now they’re not being made because Micron recently killed the Crucial brand to focus supply towards data center customers

TBF that is a crucial ram stick in the picture, those are rare shinies now

Funny they need such an advanced piece of war defense equipment deployed against their own citizens

The OP: https://www.datapro.net/news/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html

Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple’s Lightning, USB Type D’s novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.

“With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you’ll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out.”

Remember when funny people still did April fools? I’ve not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn’t transparently reek of marketing in years

Would it be political if it was dead friends of another nationality? What about dead friends that died in an earlier conflict that’s no longer in progress?

Shit position to take from the IOC

You know what’s really stupid about this

Notepad existed for decades, resisting the general trend of Microsoft software, and it continued to do one thing, and do it well (for the purposes of this argument, let’s not get started on line endings)

If someone wanted to do more than just view text files, there was wordpad, a stripped down word processor, that would have been the perfect application to add support for markdown to.

Except they killed it, because enough people must have realised that the word processor bundled with the OS did everything they needed without having to pay Microsoft a subscription for Word.

So now Microsoft is trying to turn notepad into the rudimentary word processor that people expect to come with their OS, destroying the aspect that made it useful
