I don't have it on a kill-a-watt even though I should. As the person below you said, it's like 1.5 to 2x power consumption vs a pi4 at idle (Under 10w), but that is still comically…

I know, but I was noting that it isn't even any definition of half here.

I don't know what their value of 'half' is but this isn't the more commonly defined definition of 50%. This: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/11836399 M1: https://browser.geekb…

Is that what it is saying? "Apple: " aka "apple says"

I always find these a little funny. "[Commonly held thought with some convenient tweaks] is WRONG...so use our stuff!" Even open source projects are guilty of this type of grifting…

So does Apple, it’s all the same.

Either is an upside. That’s a huge contract that any payment processor would kill for.

This assumes Stripe is not outperforming expectations. .which seeing the Amazon deal....

Yeah it also called black people an 'angry race' in one of mine, it's rather racist and careless internally, probably uninitional, looks like just one person's work and it can be f…

Fuschia powers the current, on sale, Nest Hub

At component level, yeah no impossible but for general resale it wouldn't be too hard. I'm pretty sure the Face ID and Touch ID modules already do this. You would need to add some …

Nope. IT failure. Also, activation lock of a company device could easily be considered vandalism.

Hahaha

This! One of the biggest upsides. Apple goods were the gold prize for thiefs back a few years ago.

This. Activation Lock is an Anti-Theft, not a privacy mesure. By making stolen hardware a brick, it reduces the upside to a thief to pennies on the dollar. This makes the legal ris…

It's more than data. Apple's disk encryption already does that on iOS. Activation lock isn't just data protection: It is Anti-theft. The concept was that bricking the hardware if i…

The hiring of teachers is approved by community elected school boards. FL laws take that power from communities and puts it in State level hands. Your point is upside-down and trie…

Might be a local thing. I tried earlier and can't find one within 100 miles, central PA. $550 bundles everywhere though

> A PS5 is 10.3 Tflops and costs $400. There is a good argument that the standard PS5 costs $550. Sony has prioritized Disk production so digital base is hard to find still, Sony t…

Gaming but I would note that the 5600X is a fine workstation CPU, the 6650XT is a good editing GPU, and with 32 or GB of ram, this can pretty much do anything at an acceptable leve…

If you went for the 12100f, a B660m, 3200 Ram, and a 500GB nvme, (Fractal Pop Air, etc) you can do this build, brand new, for ~750. 5600X is a little better for multicore but I pre…
