  • New Anti-Consumer MacBook Pros - Teardown And Repair Assessment - Apple Silicon M1/M2

    Jump

  • Way differently.

    Soldered RAM is much much closer to the CPU, and so the time it takes for signals to propagate back and forth is significantly reduced..

  • New Anti-Consumer MacBook Pros - Teardown And Repair Assessment - Apple Silicon M1/M2

    Jump

  • You're getting heavily downvoted by people who obviously don't understand how RAM works. Or how computers work?

    Guys, Apple is shitty, we all know this, but onboard RAM is the least of their anti-consumer practices.

    The problem with socketed RAM is the length of the traces going back to the CPU. That 100% reduces performance (and battery life) by a significant amount. Especially when using that socketed RAM as iGPU VRAM.

    Dell's CAMM standard reduces the latency compared to SODIMM, for socketed RAM, but what we really need is for someone like Apple to invest R&D into really tiny RAM sockets that are super close to the CPU, instead of researching ways to lock users out.

  • Greg Abbott faces more backlash as migrant child dies on bus: "Barbaric"

    Jump

  • That's disingenuous.

    The point is to seem like he's got a plan for the migrant crisis by bussing them out of state.

    And if he sends them to Blue states where services are better for undocumented migrants, isn't that better for the individuals? Or would they really be better off in Texas?

    Regardless, my point is, if you don't try to understand why your political opponent is doing something, you'll never be able to fix anything.

  • [It's FOSS News] Google's New Web Environment Integrity Proposal Dismissed by Brave, Mozilla, and Vivaldi

    Jump

  • Woah, those go from expensive to absurd.

    I could see charging like 1000 rupees to deter frivolous complaints, but up to $500,000 is absurd.

    Seems like the system is only meant for B2B complaints. B2B antitrust complaints where the offended party still has enough money to drop half a million USD on an antitrust complaint.

  • PdaNet used to work for me years ago, but more recently it fails to work on T-Mobile.

    It's frustrating since I rarely need a hotspot, but when I do I really need it.

  • Students banned from using nicknames under new anti-trans Florida schools guidance

    Jump

  • Sure it does.

    It makes teachers wonder why, yet again, they're being forced to bear the brunt of the culture war, and they're going to eventually quit.

    Then the schools won't be able to find good teachers, the education system will be further deteriorated, and private schools will become the only schools worth attending, further eroding the future prospects of working-class Floridian children and America as a whole.

    I don't think that's the grand strategy at play, I just think the people in charge don't care if it happens, as long as they get enough praise from their voters.

  • Saudi Arabia mandates all electronic devices to use USB-C charging ports from 2025

    Jump

  • I think it's good for USB standards to move slow.

    Finally just about every device I buy has USB-C now. If they release a new connector that'll just mean using 2 different cables for everything again.

  • It's not just Adobe. Now Logitech wants me to go to a random website in order to add peripherals to my computer, and I'm met with this when I go to the page they tell me to

    Jump

  • Cashier: "So, uh... Why are you returning this?"

    Serial Return Activist: "Because I have to use Chrome to install the device, and I don't want to use Chrome because of browser monopoly and privacy concerns."

    Cashier: "Got it."

    Checks box marked 'Found A Lower Price'

  • So, what's stopping you from getting a foldable? [Poll]

    Jump

  • I like my phones to be lightweight, thin, and durable.

    Ya know, so I can have my phone at-the-ready when under a car, upside down trying to fix my sink, or when I only have half a hand while scarfing down some lunch.

    Turns out a heavy-ass foldable doesn't lend itself to doing any of that without risking permanent damage.

    So Samsung, when your foldables are less than 200g, less than 72mm wide, fully ip68, and less than $1000 in today's dollars, I will consider them. Otherwise, I've already got a perfect phone.

  • Zoom's Updated Terms of Service Permit Training AI on User Content Without Opt-Out

    Jump

  • Soldiers were sharing nuclear secrets in flash card apps.

    Just because someone has a secret clearance, doesn't mean they've ever been told that the entire Internet is siphoning their data in any way possible.

  • Zoom's Updated Terms of Service Permit Training AI on User Content Without Opt-Out

    Jump

  • But Google takes their security super seriously, and the only person they're sharing our data with is the government.

    That's not a good thing, but if you need a chat app that pretty much everyone already has installed, for non-sensitive conversations, you could do much worse than Google Meet.

  • ‘He’s alone’: Trump arraignment sees no family, no posse, no protests

    Jump

  • House arrest in Trump's giant resort mansion.

    It makes sense, but it's more than a little unsatisfying.

    Personally I'd love to see Trump in ADX Florence.

  • Google is charging its employees $99 a night to stay at its on-campus hotel to help "transition to the hybrid workplace."

    Jump

  • I think I'd be more interested in finding a cardiologist at that point.

  • Trump was just indicted for trying to steal the 2020 election

    Jump

  • Trump has such a large fanatical following that it's almost certain the next Republican president will use a Trump pardon as a poker chip for gaining party support on whatever plan he needs pushed.

    So personally I think it's almost certain Trump will be pardoned.

    But it's possible he could die in prison before that happens.

  • 'Oppenheimer' draws debate over the absence of Japanese bombing victims in the film

    Jump

  • How does nuking multiple cities not contribute to the American war effort?

    There are 1000 decision making paths you can follow in regards to the atomic bombing of Japan, which wasn't decided lightly, but ultimately the prevailing understanding is correct.

    This "holier than thou" alternate history thing you have going on is, sorry to say, it's delusional.

  • First U.S. nuclear reactor built from scratch in decades enters commercial operation in Georgia

    Jump

  • I'm just guessing here, but due to the expensive safety, security, disposaal, and political requirements, big reactors are likely going to be the most cost effective for a long time.

  • Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter

    Jump

  • Plenty of real people are quite aware of our current issues, they just get drowned out online.

  • Mother of Uvalde victim runs for mayor in special election approved by the city

    Jump

  • She's trying to be mayor, not the queen.

    One mayor stands no chance against the system of DAs, lawyers, unions, and judges, that protect the police.

    Between qualified immunity and "no specific obligation to protect", you'd be hard pressed to find any charges that stick.
