  • Yup. Yesterday my mac turned my external display pink. The monitor was connected directly to the HDMI socket on the M1.

    Tell me a more iconic duo than external devices and a panicking mac.

  • Inertial guidance sucks balls for any meaningful amount of time. Combining it with ground tracking gets it a lot better, if you have good time of flight sensors to measure the distance from the ground. But this also falls flat on its face when the ground is too uniform (grassland, wetland, snow etc).

  • EU Commission fines Apple over €1.8 billion over abusive App store rules for music streaming providers

  • Global net income, yes. But it is 5% of the income from the EU. As much as I dislike Apple, the fine seems to be reasonable. I do want to see it bumped up if they keep on with their horseplay.

  • Based on Statista, Apple profit from EU was 36B in 2023. The fine in this case amounts to 5% of their profit from the region. This is something that will impact the company's decisions.

    Or they will fund more infrastructure development in the EU. It's still just March.

  • Keeping a simple nas alive, with automated backups from linux + windows based machines with proper authentication already sometimes feels like a second job. Hosting all of your own services is way more effort than people realise

  • What I love about them is that recently they had more people buying their password manager, than they planned for. This reduced the cost per user for them.

    Instead of pocketing all of the profit gained from it, they sent out an email to all of their paid users, to let them know that they can now update their subscription for a discount.

  • Mozilla CEO quits, org pivots, but what about Firefox?

    Jump

  • Ah, seems like it works now, it has been a while since I've used it. But it still doesn't have an option for moving the url bar to the bottom of the screen and blocking trackers.

  • Mozilla CEO quits, org pivots, but what about Firefox?

    Jump

  • There are features, like swiping the url bar to switch tabs, that are missing on the pre installed Chrome, but the firefox has them. Chrome has nothing to offer over firefox, besides your data collection

  • Yup. Also some kernel panics due to non compatible DP adapters. They are picky machines. Those issues were with the 2019 i7 mac pro. My current M1 has issues with certain usb-c docks

  • There definitely are good build quality laptops out there, like the Zephyrus lineup. Don't know about their latest releases, it would require a bit more research.

    My own laptop is a 2022 model of zephyrus g15. It was released a few months before m2 released. The CPU is a Ryzen 9 6900HS, that is just 4-5% slower in cinebench, and a 3070-ti gpu. The GPU is 20% slower than m2 max, but the laptop also cost only 2.4k, compared to 3.1k of M2 max. The battery lasts around 4-5h during video playback on the dedicated GPU.

    Haven't tested the energy saving method as I use it for work and I have locked it to max power settings.

    Yes, the mac is more power efficient, but at the same time, if I wanted a power efficient, light laptop, I wouldn't buy a powerhouse.

    Edit: oh, and the zephyrus laptop is actually lighter than 16" MacBook pro

  • For the same price as a decked out MacBook m3, you can get a laptop with a i9-13980hx. That beats the m3 max in single core cinebench by 12% and in multi core cinebench by 29%.

    Also, the laptops at that price point have a dedicated gpu.

  • 4 years on macbooks as a software dev. Haven't seen a more annoying OS for power users than OSX. The Apple software is constantly in the way, breaking things or crashing because you plugged in a non apple certified keyboard.
