I spent about a year arguing with C-levels that our fleet running 8GB was slowing down productivity, with evidence to prove it. It was like pulling teeth to procure some SODIMMs.

I’d still say this article is coming at things from the wrong perspective. That $700 Walmart M1 MBA is more than adequate for most kids doing school work, and/or grandparents farting around on FB. If you have a family and had to grab a few identical laptops, and you aren’t able/willing to be tech support, it really makes a lot of sense financially.

If you want something more Android-y the Sony NW-A306 exists.

Storage and RAM not being user upgradable is an environmental nightmare for sustainability.

Not having internal slots for storage and relying on USB or NAS is not an appropriate alternative for professionals regardless of what their leadership says is what professionals want.

We’ll never know, but RAM being part of the SoC is probably contributing substantially to their performance capabilities compared to competition. The only real way to know that probably requires being an engineer at Apple. I’d wager $3.50 that they’d get a substantial performance deficit from switching to DIMMs, and that terrifies them since that would further push everyone to x86 workstations.

That website is a wreck. I purchased some parts from EOE and everything turned out fine, but I also know that people have had issues with them as well.

I flash modded a 6th gen Classic. I enjoyed the miserable experience, and I enjoy using the iPod for 320k MP3 AUX playback, but honestly I think a modern device probably makes more sense. If not a smartphone with one of the Apple-Aux adapters, maybe something like the NW-A306. Lack of streaming support is bad. No real FLAC / “high-res” support is bad. iTunes is a mess.

I’m about 50/50 in person with ancient decks and Cockatrice.

Realistically I’d go all in on Cockatrice if I really wanted to play frequently. MTG is cost prohibitive.

This is the angle that makes me reconsider folding phones. Either fold direction, and you’ve got a smaller screen that’s usable in one hand.

I am a big fan of the idea that by doing this the OC is effectively the ad-distributor in this scenario…

“eight of these occurrences”

I’ve been using various forms of adblock for many years. If a website refuses to show you the information it contains: the information it has is probably toxic garbage.

I’ve lived by “if it doesn’t load, I doesn’t need it” for over a decade and I’ve never encountered a problem I couldn’t easily solve better without the troublesome webpage.

That person is suspicious that the rogue device without adblocking is going to poison the whole network.

I won’t speak to the wisdom of that, but I’m going to imagine that’s what the issue with your suggestion is.

Ooooh oooh I know this one! Due to the overwhelming success, they’re going to shut down F099 as soon as possible.

Damn they got me again

I have an ancient early W7-era AMD dual core (bulldozer based? So it’s actually like 1.5c) that runs just peachy on Lubuntu LTS, 8gb of mismatched used Ram I got for free, and an ancient slow HDD.

I use it for D&D (Roll20 and Foundry) and MTG (Cockatrice).

I tested W10 with a ReadyBoost sd card and 2gb RAM and it barely worked.

This is what I’m here for.

BRB gonna go smudge my car. No demons allowed

I’m a big fan of people setting up their cactus/crystal collection on their dashboards.

It really establishes that /grenade/ aesthetic.
