    As a child I was diagnosed with a condition known as dysgraphia, which makes it difficult for me to make my hand write what my mind wants it to without straining myself. Typing doe…

    Yes, that sounds right: > Additionally, during attention demanding tasks, sufficient deactivation of the default mode network at the time of memory encoding has been shown to resul…

    Sounds like this might be activating the default mode network? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network

    For me, trying film after growing up in the post-digital world was more about exploring the experience of the medium and why we ended up where we are. It's given me an appreciation…

    I've come to the same realization after shooting digital, film, and back to digital again. I've found that if I apply "recipes" or "presets" to my camera and shoot jpg I get roughl…

    I'm still doing iOS dev on my 2020 M1 MPB, and it's fine! I expect that if I change out its battery and apply new thermal paste it would run for another 6 years.

    I totally agree on the M1 bit. I just think there are so many capable machines that are unnecessarily scraped when they could be working with up to date software. Sure, they can ru…

    I think an old Mac Pro quad Xeon with 32gb of ram and an ssd of that era could do it. I agree that most cpus from 20 years ago could not. I understand that doing it and doing it we…

    This machine has me asking why much older hardware can't run newer versions of macOS. The answer of course is Apple needs to sell new machines, but the Neo may be proof that decade…

    Eager to see the Xcode benchmark on this. Would expect it to be similar to the M1, but we shall see! I still use my M1 MBP for light mobile development work. Sure it's slow, but it…

    You've stepped way out of the discussion we were having and are now engaging in sanctimonious grandstanding. > Your inability to grasp this is disturbing and should come across as …

    The net effect is 0 if you're being paid back and paying back on time. How is this any different from putting it on a CC and paying it back on time? What's the big deal here that w…

    Well, what if you were in budget, your caterer failed to meet their obligation but aren't paying you back for several business days, and that extra $800 put you just over budget? T…

    I was mistaken in thinking it was longer than that. If it is only about two months then it's of little value over a conventional CC (depending on when you buy it in your statement …

    As a financially secure person, why would I want to spend $800 today when I can spend $800 over four months with no penalty? It doesn't make any sense in the slightest, that is unl…

    Since we're already dealing in absurds here, what if one were to Doordash 50 servings of wings as a emergency/backup catering option for a banquet or wedding? That could easily top…

    13 year ago I had a professor who had one of these 11" Airs for this exact reason. He was always tunneled into some other system and the Air primarily served as his terminal. He lo…

    Wishing that apple would either allow macOS on the iPad pro or bring back the 12" Macbook with Apple Silicon.

    I want Xcode on my iPad. Principles be damned.

    Why can't Apple just sell native macOS support for iPad at a rate where they wouldn't cannibalize their other offerings? I'd pay around $300-$400 for it without hesitation.

    As someone struggling to find the limits of his M2 iPad air, you don't.

    I'm not disagreeing with you, however, Empire Access is neither Verizon, AT&T, nor CenturyLink.
