>It is the SoC, not the memory as reported in the earning call. Is the memory not part of the SoC?
It’s a separate die, even in chips like the phone ones where it’s in the same package as the SoC.

They don't really advertise that you can install nothing on the machine. It's super restricted.
I think you can at $50/month

Yea it does look like 5 year old M1's are going for $300 on eBay, but man that's painful a 5 year old machine for that much when you could get a new Neo or Mini for $600, if only you could buy them. I probably should just get the M1, test and sell it back on eBay. Thanks.
If you're going to do any kind of work on it I'd choose a 5-year old 16 GB memory M1 over a Neo every single time. 8 GB is what's painful. The CPU difference is very small anyway.

Geekbench is basically trash. People keep using it for comparing Mac performance because many of the things people usually benchmark don't run on Macs. But single-number outputs like that are useless. Is the number ~10% higher because it's consistently ~10% faster at everything, or because it's 100% faster on a minority of things and slower at everything else? The first one is pretty unlikely when comparing processor…
How are we supposed to trust these charts when it can't even be bothered to specify which Apple Silicon chip it's testing? The Mac Mini comes in two versions.
The Pro has more P-cores and fewer E-cores (8/4 or 10/4 instead of 4/6), but even the 10/4 configuration starts at $1399 instead of $799 and for the extra $600 you can move from the 9700X to the 9950X3D (16 P-cores) and have $200 left over.

If you literally just need to borrow one, I'd just buy an Air from Apple directly and then return it within the 14 day window. I'll sometimes do this if I need an extended repair on my personal one, or there's a new mac I want to try.
This is unethical.
As far as I'm concerned, if I can't work because they have my laptop for a week, especially because I pay for AppleCare and have to leave it with them, it's not much different than an insurance policy that lends me a rental car while mine's in the shop.

Glad to see the hackers have arrived to defend a billion dollar corporation
Glad to see the people who do not understand tragedy of the commons have arrived.
Some people occasionally returning products—that they intended to keep or not—is not like all of the energy grid being consumed by data centers, nor is it like all of the wetlands being paved over for suburbs.

> in stead of relaying requests through me. Overseerr is a thing.
1) You're missing the point. Overseer can do this, yes. AI model can work with ANY REST API. 2) How does Overseerr help? I've never really understood it if I could give my family access to Overseerr over a VPN I could just give them sonarr / radarr directly.

Overseerr is a write-only access to your Radarr/Sonarr library, so e.g. the user cannot accidentally delete a movie or choose to download a lower quality version.
Currently the profile is fixed. I guess they can delete movies but I can re-downlaod in 5 min so not a massive problem. I'm on a rolling-delete schedule anyway as my hard drives fill up quickly.
