Apple hardware had always been decent, but I don't understand the point of macos. If you can work entirely in the browser, than why waste the money on apple? Just grab a chrome book.

If your job requires software, macos is trash. Basic functions like window snapping are still missing. Gaming is non existent. Obscene memory requirements with nothing under 32gb usable for any real work.

I've been daily driving Linux for decades and occasionally use Windows, but any time I'm forced to use macos I'm just really confused why people would do that to themselves and then pay 3x the price for decent hardware.

Some of this is personal preference, but I thought they were absolute trash. I basically got them for free after credits when I picked up my new pixel and I ended up returning them anyway and spending credits on random accessories. They do not sit well in my ears, I hated the weird noise cancelation that actually makes you disoriented without really canceling noise and the sound is poorly calibrated no matter what I tried listening to.

I just picked up SoundCore Liberty 4 Pros for $100 and they check every box. So comfortable I forget I have them in my ears. Noise cancelation is superb. Tested in data center and on airplane. Sound quality is subjective, but I love it. New charging case shows battery level for each side and allows adjusting NC level without having to use the app.

Unless I'm blind you can't actually select how your funds are used. Still a great cause, but not great for annoying anti-science relatives.

Maybe if you live in an area with mostly SFHs so bugs can't spread as aggressively? I'd never take furniture off the street. I'd rather sleep on bare floor than deal with bed bugs.

Ps5 pro was released a few days ago. Otherwise why are we even talking about scalpers and availability?

Sure, but you're comparing apples to oranges. If you personally play older or not gpu intensive games at medium settings, then you can absolutely buy a gpu once every 7-10 years and not be affected by any scalpers. NES emulators are pretty cheap right now :-) You can also get an Intel GPU for under MSRP.

Obviously a hyperbole, but PC gamers looking for latest and greatest were affected much worse than console gamers wanting the latest stuff.

Just the crypto hype alone made it nearly impossible to get a decent gpu for years.

Do you build your own gpus too? Between ML and chip shortage, PC builders were affected much worse than any console users.

Interesting read. Using web sockets for local transmission feels like a lazy first choice, but I wonder if it would take much longer to realize the need for optimization and identify the problem if they went with tcp or Unix sockets from the beginning.

Good choice of instance :-)

Two cars (~$50k each), two adult drivers, one accident in the last 7 years, no tickets = $453/mo. Fuck California and the weak cunt Newsom that can't get these greedy fuckers under control.

I read it and I think I understand why people are using it, but just to clarify your Google play example: you still can't use it without being signed into Google account, right? Is your concern what the app does while it's not running? Because it feels like they'll still collect the same amount of info once your sign in to install the apps.

Do you you try to use F-droid for most things?

Does anything related to money work on GOS? Bank apps, check deposits, credit card apps, nfc payments? Any other apps/features disabled by Google?

Seems like a huge sacrifice for perceived privacy improvement.

How is this significantly different from using vanilla Android without signing into any Google accounts?

Range depends A LOT on how you ride but anywhere from 80 to 120 miles is my experience. I'm sure you can get 160 miles from specs if you ride at speed limit.

My 848 had a very loud Acrapovic exhaust so cars would part like the red sea, but I haven't noticed any difference in how drivers react between my Monster with a stock exhaust and Zero. Oblivious drivers will drive like shit unless something REALLY grabs their attention. Silent motor doesn't really make it worse. I maybe only feel it at intersections because it seems like it is more difficult for drivers to gauge your speed without the sound.

Aren't most questions like this are simply looking at what approach you try and not a solution? They've been at it for years so they can easily tell if you're trying something that makes sense or something trivial even if they don't have a solution or even if there isn't one.

Switched to electric bike years ago and have no regrets. Tbf I did switch from a Ducati so high price wasn't a show stopper, but I love my Zero SR.

Just got the battery replaced due to an issue with one of the modules with days left on the warranty and Zero took care of it without any cost to me after a quick diagnostic process.

Otherwise zero issues with my Zero. Only maintenance in the last 4 years is replacing the tires. Love the bike.

That's just demonstrably false. Lots of historical precedent for people losing property, access, etc due to lost or incorrectly filed documents, clerical errors, corruption and a billion other ways. None of this really affects digital assets.

Nonsense argument. It is much easier to forge or steal a paper copy of a document that it is to do so with an equally well protected digital copy.

Vast majority of digital theft is done via social engineering and not through some exploit in the underlying technology.

I've been using M2 as a plex server so I'm really hoping Asahi devs shift focus from games to video transcoding, but either way the fact that they're making progress is great news.

Show me a screenshot of what your display settings look like please.

I couldn't even find a place to do it. Only config for display scaling applied or to all monitors. And it requires a restart of kde every time. So either large external screen became unusable or the small laptop screen.
