It’s been long enough that most of the people who wanted an M processor as their next laptop now got one, so I don’t think it’s surprising that sales are down, after the initial blips.
Overall computers are on the down. More people do their computing on tablets or just phones most of the time. In richer countries, windows marketshare is decreasing, and Apple’s is increasing. Not really sure what else apple could do that they actually want to do.
It’d be nice if they had a MacBook SE type thing, but I don’t think they’d do that. Chromebooks captured the education market so it’s probably too late to do anything there. Mac minis are never in a position to break into the business small-PC realm because they aren’t cheap enough. Also it’d be nice if mac minis were cheaper/better-value and more expandable, but people have asked that for years and never got it.
Storage replaceabity is a serious problem for their desktop offerings, but that’s been an issue forever and they don’t care because they sell iCloud, and their monthly services businesses are doing well.
It’s annoying how inconvenient it is to exercise with a phone nowadays. The armbands needed for a phone compared to an old iPod are comically large, and they’re so big they bounce around.
Smart watches aren’t quite what I want, they’re annoying because they’re not quite phones, and you still need a phone hanging around if you’re using Spotify or other apps and control the media using the watch.
An iPhone 4 or even iPhone 5c sized phone would be perfect for me
Then I asked her to tell me if she knows about the books2 dataset (they trained this ai using all the pirated books in zlibrary and more, completely ignoring any copyright) and I got:...
Weird that it listed crackle, I thought that was owned by Sony and had licensed stuff on it. I remember using it twice on my PSP because that was the only streaming video app for it.
Also weird to list snagfilms which was also licensed stuff
This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.
This is probably good justice, but idk if it’s going to reduce drunk driving.
It’s crazy to me that in America drunk driving (with no victims) isn’t a felony on its own. In Canada it’s their version of a felony and generally a way bigger deal. In America you seem to only have consequences when someone’s hurt.
Crazy that MADD was able to lobby to get all states to have 21 as the legal drinking age but not able to lobby to make drunk driving a felony because it’s too ingrained into America since people like going to bars but don’t wanna pay for cabs and have no other transit options.
iFixit tears down a Taylor ice cream machine and finds that it overheats often, takes hours to restart, and these issues are impossible to fix because of locked down software and terrible error messages. No wonder, since Taylor makes 25% of its money charging $315 per 15 minutes for their exclusive repairs....
It’s crazy for even a company like McDonald’s to get fucked by this sort of thing.
You’d think they’d have enough institutional power to not have to deal with this, but I guess if front office decided on an icecream machine supplier then franchisees are the ones dealing with the extortionate repair pricing.
I dont get why McDonald’s doesnt’t design and commission a machine in-house, imagine if their grills and fryers were out of commission as often as the ice-cream machines. I think those machines are custom for McD’s
It’s depressing when things are purposely shitty for shareholder value.
Tim Hortons in canada used to have in-store bakers that cost about as much per baked good as the frozen pre-made shit they get now. But Tim Hortons corporate makes more by forcing franchisees to buy the frozen donuts, and the bakers were skilled labour they got to get rid of.
My Brother laser printer/fax that looks like it came from the 90s is amazing and works with everything on default drivers. Mac, PC, Linux, Android, all of these work fine for me. The brother driver gives you more options if you care to install it, but you don’t have to.
Inkjet is a different beast. Especially the ones that don’t let you print B&W if you run out of colour ink, or that check for “legit” ink refills.
UBS (a Swiss bank) doesn’t really have reason to lie about the wealth increase. Is the exchange rate thing just because rubles are less useful internationally because sanctions?
The US has inflation, and if the ruble is worth less dollars then that means Russia has even more inflation.
Obviously all our media wants to paint a picture of Russia doing terribly, but I wonder what the actual picture is. All the companies that left Russia left behind all their shit for Russia to use which if anything helps them keep more production in their own borders.
I generally have a “home” Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to “lose” it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!
In an economy as tightly controlled as China, how much does deflation even matter?
Also I wonder how everywhere else having inflation will interact with this. Is China just getting affected because the rest of the world can’t afford basic necessities anymore? The article kinda touches on reduced demand from countries with inflation abroad causing this, but also doesn’t really explain anything other than going “lower number is uh bad”
