    Reddit used to have pretty low overhead. You couldn't upload/host videos directly on Reddit, you could only share links or create self-posts. They didn't have all these superfluous…

    Sorry to hear that this happens to you but I have never seen this issue on my AirPods Pro in the last 3 years or my AirPods 1st/2nd gen.

    No, you need to know Dijkstra's algorithm in order to tinker with an OS. /s

    The Play Store doesn't require a credit card, at least not in the U.S. I have a Google account that I use for testing on an Pixel phone. When I go to install a new (free) app, it n…

    If you don’t understand how iPhone could have defeated Windows Mobile, it’s hard to take you seriously on your other points.

    Disagree. 2016 15" MBP was 4.0 pounds. 2019 16" MBP was 4.3 pounds. New 16" MBP is 4.5 pounds. Apple simply decided in 2016 to shrink the size and weight by removing ports and othe…

    My problem with it is it only works 75% of the time. Another 15% of the time it just hangs indefinitely. And 10% it just doesn't even try.

    Dell XPS webcams are generally really inferior to MacBook Pro webcams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgFd_w2n1es&t=193s shows a good comparison between the M1 MacBook Pro from la…

    Same. I am impressed with M1 Pro and M1 Max performance numbers. I ordered the new MBP to replace my 2020 M1 MBP, but I bought it with the base M1 Pro and I'm personally way more e…

    FWIW initial Geekbench scores that surfaced today do not show a significant improvement in the single-core performance for M1 Max compared to M1. https://www.macrumors.com/2021/10/…

    It appears that M1 Max itself comes in 24-core and 32-core GPU variants. So I guess some M1 Max chips are more maximum than other M1 Max chips.

    I'm pretty sure they are comparing them with 2019/2020 MacBook Pros, which apparently have chips originally launched 2017.

    This is literally what they have always done and they don’t see a reason to stop

    I'm not opposed to subscriptions but the terms here feel draconian. If you lose your reMarkable, your cloud backups give you access only to the files you used in the last 50 days? …

    It's worth noting that Apple also sometimes releases security updates for devices that no longer support the latest iOS. For example, Apple released security update iOS 12.5.4[1] o…

    Yes, indeed we have seen decreased prices in housing, healthcare, education, etc in the last 40 years.

    WebRTC has been having these problems for at least 6 years straight. At what point can we call this a deliberate back door?

    I'm happy with what Valve is doing now, but as a whole, the fact that Steam OS is a Linux distro doesn't necessarily mean that Steam OS / Steam Deck won't become locked down in the…

    To be fair, many Quest games are very small (1gb-5gb). In contrast, GTA V on Steam is 72gb.

    After looking at the specs, I'm really disappointed. MagSafe by itself already heats up my iPhone 12 mini tremendously compared to a normal wired charger, which can charge up to 20…
