Trans people are bad optics now..?
[flagged]
The banker thing would be bad optics because of conspiracies about it, but I'm not aware of an equivalent.
For example neither suspend nor hibernate works in Apple hardware, which means if you put the laptop away for a day or two the battery will die and you'll lose everything you were doing.

I would guess Apple’s goal is increasing the number of people buying recurring Apple services, such as icloud and tv+. It has been a long time since people have needed cutting edge laptops, so an M1 bought today will still work for 90% of people for the next 5+ years. Even if Apple doesn’t earn a large profit margin on the sale of the laptop, they could earn a decent amount on monthly services revenue, plus increased…
I would agree except the machines are so low spec I don’t think they’re a good experience. An M1 is great. But RAM and storage won’t hold up as long. I suspect they can sell them at that price and still make a killing, and all the equipment to make chassis/etc is already paid off.
It’s not high spec for sure, but with M1 RAM counting double (they swap very efficiently up to a certain point) it’s still plenty for casual use.
1. student at uoft 2. a lead in a job at Collabora 3. very succesful and ambitious hobby project how tf does she juggle and managed to do all this? I can barely do one of the above properly.
One of the few people who are actually competent. Although most likely she’s well compensated, and doesn’t have to waste time on useless efforts at work, this level of discipline and striving towards a goal is just very rare in general. Possibly also no family, limited social life and no other hobbies.

Too bad it was not Apple who hired her for M4, but in business leaders are always the most closed ones.
Thanks Jesus it's Intel and not Apple, Intel has been extremely good at working upstream and has immense contributions in the Linux kernel, mesa, and elsewhere. Wasting such talent on Apple would make the world worse for us all.

I'm unclear what the relevance of this comment is. It's by the same author but doesn't seem to bear any relevance to the M1 GPU.

Oh that is good news. I'm almost tempted to try that out.
I can recommend it! I've been daily driving M1 for a few months now, it's working really well. Parent poster is raving about a potential "greatest linux laptop", but depending on your use case it's already there. IME the Asahi support page is spot-on: There are a couple of yet-unsupported features (DP-alt mode being a big one), but any feature listed as supported will just work without hidden gotchas. I find this a b…

That means … what? I censor whatever I like (dislike), I guess.
We can't not make mistakes. The best we can do is acknowledge when we make a mistake and do what we can to fix it.

If you knew how many comments I dislike on HN, you would no longer have that perception.

Sorry for misinterpreting you! All we can do is pattern-match, and sometimes the pattern doesn't match.
So, you are not going to unflag, undead the comment you killed, right? The one you are sorry about, claiming you misinterpreted them. Just curious, not trolling.
