The current top results for single core performance are ~3,100 so it is, on paper, a substantial gain. The M3 in the iMac achieves around 3,053. However, Geekbench is not that grea…

I do find my Macs increasingly difficulty to use, but like many things, Apple would consider quite a few of these features 'lost' as upgrades or part of the natural evolution of pl…

Thanks for sharing your experience. My time with PCVR streaming on the Quest 2 dramatically improved when I upgraded my wireless network, to the point now where I only wirelessly s…

They did release the Zero 2 W, which is much improved from the first model: https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w/

This is the same for e-scooter rideshare schemes. Much of the evidence points to escooter use replacing walking short distances, so environmentally it can be a net negative overall…

And meanwhile, more and more USFF PCs will roll out into second hand markets, which offer a much more compelling option than the Pi, unless idle draw is your main consideration. It…

Android is not for everyone, just as iOS is not for everyone.

I find it fascinating to see what the Foundation is turning its mind to now it has a seemingly high-volume, reliable supply of its house-design ARM chip. I wonder if the future of …

If you’re interested in this odd Australian time zone, Lord Howe Island (10km long, population 350, hundreds of kilometres east of the mainland) also has its own time zone for half…

The Australian Government also has controlled substances laws, you’d just be prosecuted under those if it was federal land.

It reminds me of rideshare companies, where even though the ratings are a 50-point scale, (0.0-5.0), in the end it is a thumbs up/thumbs down system where anything less than nearly…

I was unaware of the advanced menu, thanks for the heads up. Could have used this last week with my new Pi Zero 2 W

"Other" may be some local Time Machine snapshots, which are purgeable. It may also be an APFS snapshot, which is _not_ purgeable (indeed macOS boots of signed snapshots now)

Re: Photos - if you have a Mac you can run your Photos library off an external drive. I have a 1TB NVME SSD attached via USB and it runs perfectly fine. The Photos Library is just …

16GB of GDDR6 is pretty expensive - moving to 32GB for a 2020 device would be cost prohibitive on already expensive devices

I've noticed this with quite a few devices I own - they ramp their fans to 100% presumably as a safety mechanism to try to ensure there won't be overheating while normal systems ma…

AFAIK in my jurisdiction the QR codes are a simple number, which the app reports along with the names of the people who have checked in or you are checking in. The number represent…

I've been keeping my eye out on the subreddit for a long time for something like your 50% - except with a function row. Really wish it were more popular

Apple make my favourite operating systems and some of the best hardware but are increasingly doubling down on dubious platform control. This is an unsustainable position going forw…

I agree - I read this less as "you have time" and more as "I have time, and I assume my experience is universal so it applies to you." I hope this blog stays up for 10 years so the…

70% of many audiences, even of tech news sites? Sure. But of Hacker News' audience? I would expect many here could follow the basic setup tutorial relatively easily.

Does anybody have an idea how this compares to running RetroArch on an NVIDIA Shield (2017)?

My 2013 Mac Pro does this too - it's actually (at least in my case) a kernel panic.
