Thetimefarm , 7 months ago to technology in 8GB RAM in M3 MacBook Pro Proves the Bottleneck in Real-World Tests

My exeperience is lot of people just want an ipad they can type on. The m2 air is basically the same size and weight as an ipad pro, and the screen is more protected if you carry it in a backpack. It’s also probably cheaper, especially if you want any of the accessories that make it “pro” ipad.

With a hot air rework station anything is upgradable, laptops, phones, babies… ok not babies, but like lots of other stuff.

It’s probably internal fogging because the units aren’t well sealed.

Thetimefarm , 7 months ago to news in Once valued at $47 billion, coworking-space provider WeWork nears bankruptcy

He personally trademarked the word “we” and then sold it to his company for 5 million dollars. He also owned a lot of the buildings the company had signed absurdly long leases on. It was literally a company set up with the sole intention of funneling VC money into his pocket directly. Even for the shady-ass world of start ups and VC firms what he did was pretty blatant. That’s not even getting into how he portrayed the company as a tech start up when it just simply was not. It’s like how Tesla and Ford sell about the same number of cars but Teslas market cap is 17x higher because they call themselves a tech company. At least with Tesla you could probably argue they were a tech company at some point early on, WeWork was never a tech company at all. Neumann got his start renting the spare office space he had after his previous company failed and just decided to run with it.

As long as it’s for research and stays HIPPA compliant I don’t really have an issue with it. This would be a good use for AI but that’s also kinda horrifying to think about. Having millions of unique human DNA samples to train your AI on would be worth something I presume.

Even Apple silicone has a version of Fedora that works pretty well. Give it 10 years and I bet old Apple silicone machines will be faster on linux just like a lot of the older x86 macbooks are now.

I mean they basically do charge you since your data is being sold as the product.

As long as you have your files backed up properly it shouldn’t be too difficult. If you don’t, I’d be more worried about what happens if one of your drives failed and how you’d retrieve that data.

Thetimefarm , 8 months ago to technology in Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella admits giving up on Windows Phone and mobile was a mistake

Honestly I would rather see a large company like Microsoft build their own OS from the ground up. Without play services you wouldn’t be able to use a lot of play store apps even if you installed the apk file. I think Google provides a lot of baked in services to developers to lock their apps into the google ecosystem. Microsoft wouldn’t really add anything of value to android in my opinion, we already have one big company looking over our shoulder, I don’t think we need a second. I think the Amazon Fire phone proves that even with a lot of money to burn it’s hard to break into google’s market.

Microsoft making their own platform that is not UNIX-like would probably get a lot more interest than just modifying android.

I started using noscript on my phone despite how annoying it is to use day to day. Desktop have more tools to manage pop ups better, but on mobile the only reliable way I’ve found is to nuke everything and just re enable what you need.

Thetimefarm , 8 months ago to technology in NY bill would require a criminal history background check for the purchase of a 3D printer

People have been making paper templates for a long time, I can’t see how plastic would have any real advantage. A plastic guide isn’t going to constrain a metal cutting tool, at best it just shows you where you need to drill the same as a paper template. If you wander outside the lines you’ll just mess up both the part and the jig.

If I were to set up a clandestine gun manufacurer I would try and design a product that could be made using mostly aluminum extrutions and paper jigs. That way it’s easy to compartmentalize each step, harder for one guy to flip on you, and fast/cheap. Plus if you get raided you don’t have a bunch of incriminating files cached on your CNC machine from previous runs.
