I wonder -- if they were to restart from scratch today, would they do the same thing? If not, which stack would they choose?

Exactly. Too bad Microsoft only cares about enterprise customers and never made the Surface line attractive to regular consumers. They could have been very interesting and competit…

Have you had luck with Google's AI Studio with regard to text extraction?

i5-1135G7 is from about 4 years ago. If you look at the latest offerings from Intel/AMD the gap should be fairly small.

Your comment might win you the argument on a random non tech forum but not here. much more efficient in what? mops the floor by what? which year's i7? Don't get me wrong, I 100% be…

Well, if Apple really wanted to do more, they would have implemented new APIs sooner and be in sync with Chrome and Firefox regarding features they support. (Currently Safari is of…

Haven't tried it, but I guess if you were doing this again today, ChatGPT would help a lot.

Not once, for one second, did I have any motion sickness. See the problem here?

Well, yes, but to lots of people they use it for the same thing. You can find projects people post online that uses raspberry pi to control a basic motor, which is a bad use of ras…

Not sure how meaningful this is. Try looking at base model MacBook Air, and it is a very different story.

Sounds like this is a use case where none of size, power & cost matters very much, and faster development is desired. It may even prefer "heavier" libraries if it makes development…

So why does HN text look so small under default settings on the desktop, and I always need to zoom to 133% to match the font size on other websites (that require no special treatme…

And I just want a reasonable font size. On desktop it is miserable -- I always need to zoom to 133% to match the font size I see on other websites. On mobile it is ok.

can't read? parent clearly says "ARM macbook".

That's the point, isn't it?

expecting a lot of insightful counterarguments from a musician and educator with such experience. got hand waving instead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

exactly. Those who think VR headsets are good music teachers probably have never taken any serious music lessons or master any instruments themselves. If you have just taken one mo…

May I ask if you play any instruments and taken music lessons for a serious amount of time? My guess is not, because to me it is obvious you don't understand how this works and are…

Looks like you are talking about two different things in one sentence. About security updates -- while it is true that Apple provides security updates much longer than Android phon…

I have had Android phones with USB-C and other USB-C devices like iPad Pro for many years now, and "dirt and sand can get into it" never even remotely crossed my mind. And yes they…

eh, aren't you just repeating "Over the long long term it will be enormous, but they're many growing pains until then"
