Yeah Apple products aren’t exactly durable. Still I hope you have a service contract with razor.

You can run Windows on Apple Silicon in a VM. These people are just wrong. Also Windows for ARM exists.

This is hilariously wrong. I have run virtual machines on Apple Silicon myself. They literally built a virtualization framework for the product in question.

My god you’re calling me a fanboy long after I sold the only Apple device I owned. Like it’s actually hilarious in how off the mark you are. It wasn’t long ago I was getting downvoted on Reddit for suggesting someone not buy their girlfriend a macbook.

I am well aware of the compatibility issues, it’s why I sold my M1 machine. The thing is you were specifically talking about Windows as an example of something that needs emulation, which it doesn’t. It’s specific applications that need “emulation”, which isn’t even a normal emulator. For macOS applications they mainly use static recompilation, and for Windows apps dynamic recompilation (dynarec) is used. Windows for ARM translation layer basically acts like a JIT compiler.

Apple’s implementation is actually shockingly good because they built an x86 like memory coherency mode into the M family SoCs (specifically in the performance cores) and because they are using the static recompilation that I mentioned. Apps running in a Windows for ARM VM couldn’t use that last time I owned a MacBook.

Nope, they use Windows for ARM

You can run virtual machines on Apple Silicon. I have done it myself. Also Razer are known for bad reliability.

Don’t know why people are downvoting you here. This OSI definition definitely isn’t modern and doesn’t match what people expect when they see open source.

Is this what happens when you start a start-up instead of starting a business?

Man you have to try lemon drizzle cake some time. It’s delicious.

If it’s lemon drizzle that would actually be appropriate lmao.

You’re passionate about something you don’t understand and have never tried.

Tap to click you remove your finger and press it back down to click. That’s why it’s called tap to click and not press to click.

With haptic touchpads you keep your finger where it is and apply more force. It’s a completely different gesture and is very similar to mechanical clicking touchpads.

Why it’s better is because it is consistent across the whole touchpad surface versus mechanical typically don’t work towards the top of the touchpad. Mechanical touchpads normally feel loose to me and you can’t change the actuation force. With a haptic touchpad you can change the actuation force since it’s a force sensor with a software defined threshold.

It also doesn’t feel anything like phone haptics. It feels more like a press than a vibration like a phone does.

These are also higher quality touchpads in general that have more resolution. Theoretical even better than the Apple force touch devices I have used.

Walk into an Apple store and try one of their devices before you complain again.

Have you ever actually tried a haptic touchpad? I have and honestly they are so much better everything else feels like a joke in comparison.

Also no it won’t have a physical click, that defeats the purpose. It’s also not the same as tap to click, it uses a force sensor.

How does Linux mess with your sleep schedule?

My guy if it wasn’t profitable companies wouldn’t build them.

The fact you think we don’t need baseliad power is very questionable. Like where are you going to store all the energy from these renewables?

Where are you getting your information from?

You can’t use renewables for all power generation though. We don’t have the energy storage for that. Also over the long term nuclear can be profitable - it just requires a lot of investment and planning

This is why we need SMRs and probably government funding as well. It’s hard to run a grid without base load power.

Probably because the whole industry keeps talking about them. Plus some are already in testing I believe, others are still being planned. We did it for nuclear submarines so it’s definitely possible.

I still don’t think that would work as a peaker plant, but it’s better than nothing! If they really have improved it more than that it might work, but you are going to need at least one power source that can be meaningfully changed multiple times per day.

I’m not saying the old logic of “ARM is efficient, x86 is fast” isn’t still true

Okay then I will say it. Apple Silicon is almost as fast per core than Intel and AMD. I am not talking just about x86 vs ARM in general because that’s a fools errand. I am talking about Intel. That’s also not an Atom chip, they don’t make Atom anymore. Sure it is made of E cores but those are several generations removed from the Atom chips. It would actually make more sense imo if they used the 8 core version of that chip.

Literally anybody who lives in an apartment block. Or anyone who’s front door is too far to run a charging cable. Then charging at work is even fewer people. In my country most people can’t park directly outside their house to begin with even if they own a house. This is very naïve.
