  • A conservative billionaire had some things to say

  • Billionaire evil is a sliding scale from normal rich guy evil to comic book villain evil. He’s less bad than his peers, even if the stuff he does (like the cost plus drugs thing) are maybe just for PR.

    We eat him later than others. But we do eat him.

  • I had a person there say I deserved to die, like a kulak, and then I got banned for not arguing in good faith. So. There are other reasons.

  • Technical people that move into management usually (but not always) suffer from something I’ve started calling management brain rot. They’re exposed to the spreadsheet warriors and their corporate jargon, and it doesn’t take long for the good ones to give up and the bad ones to thrive in a, let’s call it, “low-information environment.”

    Except for “I don’t even have the ability to conceptualize that alien’s gender, but who cares, I gotta get down with that.”

  • Do you think people would be okay with 'Recall' if Apple did it?

    Jump

  • It was a scan during upload to their cloud photos system. Everyone else does it on their servers, Apple was going to run the scan before so they didn’t have to ever have them. To not have images scanned before upload, a user would just not have to use their cloud photos service.

    The messaging was really badly handled. They almost certainly just scan all the same photos on their servers instead now.

  • A better question would be why Microsoft went with a nonstandard layout when they designed the Xbox controller. Nintendo had been using the A-to-the-right layout since 1990.

  • If you drop the “say cheese” part, it gets a lot less onion-y to me for some reason.

  • Portable convenience [The Square Comics]

    Jump

  • Anything you do while touching the trackpad with one finger at a time is the same as though you were using a mouse. Tap once to select, tap and drag to move, double tap to open.

    If you tap with two fingers on the pad at the same time, it reacts as if you’ve right-clicked. I usually use my index and middle finger.

    Jump

  • I’m not sure I understand your complaint – if you two-finger tap anywhere on an Apple trackpad made since around 2009, it’s interpreted as a right-click.

    Reply to edit: “I forgot that I changed it to make it worse and I’m mad at Apple about it” is maybe the most Lemmy comment I’ve ever read

  • What you wish had an active community here on the lemmyverse?

  • Hopefully not as a bunch of really good question posts full of mod-deleted answers.

  • The labrats subreddit was kinda fun. I’m a chemist, but the chemistry subreddit was overwhelmed by people asking for homework advice, showing off bad caffeine tattoos, and getting upset when they couldn’t talk about drugs or explosives.

  • A $50B US-EU deal for Ukraine is in sight

    Jump

  • Yeah, that sounds like seizing Russian assets and selling them to the west with more steps.

  • The first crew launch of Boeing’s Starliner capsule is on hold indefinitely

    Jump

  • I understand the sentiment, and I’m definitely not a Boeing apologist. But the first version of the Apollo command module killed three astronauts. They had growing pains, too.

  • Operating Systems for Different Life Stages

    Jump

  • At work, my work PC laptop drives two 1080p monitors. I don’t keep it open to use the onboard one because Windows is so terrible at handling displays of different sizes, and the fans run so much when driving three displays that I think it could take off my desk. So I know what you’re talking about.

    But. Have you ever used a Mac with two displays? A current-gen MacBook Air will drive a 6K@60Hz and a 5K@60Hz display when closed, and it’ll do it silently. Or both displays at “only” 4K if you want to crank the refrsh rate to over 100Hz. You think that’s not enough for the least expensive laptop they sell?

    I’m really tired of people who don’t know what they’re capable of telling me why I shouldn’t enjoy using my computer.

  • Operating Systems for Different Life Stages

    Jump

  • What percentage of people who buy the least expensive MacBook do you think are going to hook it up to more than two displays? Or should they add more display controllers that won’t ever be used and charge more for them? I feel like either way people who would never buy one will complain on behalf of people who are fine with them.

  • limit it

    There isn’t some software limitation here. It’s more that they only put two display controllers in the base level M-series chips. The vast, vast majority of users will have at most two displays. Putting more display controllers would add (minimal, but real) cost and complexity that most people won’t benefit from at all.

    On the current gen base level chips, you can have one external display plus the onboard one, or close the laptop and have two externals. Seems like plenty to me for the cheapest option.

  • I have a Mac with multiple monitors. It handles them a hell of a lot better than my PC at work.
