I hate Babylon Bee, but a broken clock & all that.
Either this situation isn’t as bad as they said it would be during the campaign (which is what Babylon Bee is implying) or it IS as bad as they said it is, and they’re letting it happen anyways.
Either way, they’re spineless fucking liars.
Thunderbolt is for permanently attached expansion (10gb Ethernet, eGPUs, multi drive enclosures, port expansion/docking etc) and USB is for quick connections (USB keys, SD cards, etc).
I seriously doubt anyone will ever use these ports for Thunderbolt devices, because there are very few thunderbolt devices that people use regularly, and if they know what Thunderbolt even is they know to look.
It’s $500CAD more for less RAM, a much worse processor, single monitor, lower top speed due to reduced thermal headroom, less & worse ports, no Ethernet jack, worse/no headless support and a battery that will swell up in a year because I leave it plugged in all the time.
If you have a desk and like to sit at it, this is a much better choice. For me a laptop no longer fits into my life. I do everything on my phone, and for what needs a computer I want a big screen, keyboard and chair.
To each their own. I think this is the best value product Apple has released in over a decade. At $669CAD for Education it’s an insanely good buy.
I use the Apple cases after trying dozens over the years, the fit & finish on them is hard to beat and I’ve found most 3rd party cases have MagSafe issues. You tend to be able to pick them up on eBay for ~$20 or so from Amazon return resellers, which isn’t too bad. Just gotta get good at spotting the fakes.
Especially for the 16 I would get an Apple case, because I think all the other manufacturers just cut out a hole where the new Camera button is whereas Apple has conductive material there so you can use the sliding gestures.
If you need the feature set of Bluesky and can’t use Mastodon, please also follow https://fed.brid.gy/ if you can. This will allow Mastodon users to follow you from the Fediverse.
If they don’t, please also follow https://fed.brid.gy/ so your BlueSky account is federated to Mastodon. If you move to Threads, please turn on Fediverse integration.
It’s so frustrating, between Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads almost every person I used to follow on Twitter exists somewhere else. But only about half of them are accessible in any one platform.
No their writing is lustier. So I’ve been told.
Every police officer ever.
Get it replaced again now, they’ll cover another replacement but not for long.
I really like my FineWoven case, I was hoping they would revise them rather than do away with it entirely. I had to get a replacement for my first one because the sides were peeling (which Apple replaced for free) but the replacement has been fine.
However they don’t age well, especially the ones in any colour other than black, so I can see why they did it. Still, I prefer it over any other case I’ve owned. Feels nice in hand, thinner than any previous Apple case while still providing great drop protection, smooth but not slippy, it had a lot going for it.
The current Slim PS5 also doesn’t have a disc drive, you can just buy it in a bundle and attach the optional one.
Honestly for manufacturing this makes way more sense, to ship one SKU and then make them all upgradable to disc. It’s also kind of nice that if you buy a digital one and want disc in the future you can just buy the drive.
You’ll get an email shortly kicking you off that plan, they’re just working through the list. Had it for 4 years, signed up quite a few others as well. Everyone has been booted over the last 2-3 months.
Place in hand.
Smash.
Enjoy!
It’s because it’s semi-soft toffee in a brick, so it’s hard to chew through but if you smash it you can eat the pieces.
Yeah now that I think about it, that has been my experience with my Series X, I just don’t use it that often. My PS5 however is much more seamless, so maybe it was just Sony who tried to improve this.
I think a network connection is inevitable during initial game setup, but as PC gaming has been like this since 2008 it’s not really bothersome to me. Bigger issue was mandatory updates, slow launches, etc. which I think have mostly been solved on the PS5 side.
Yeah these discussions are hilarious, like watching people arguing about anti-aliasing back in the day. Rerendering the whole scene again? Just to remove some jagged edges? What a waste.
Raytracing is future technology, I’m glad it’s in every game now even if it’s not always well optimized or worth using, because it will make those games age that much better when I want to go back and play them in 10+ years.
It’s clear you haven’t used this generation of consoles. They took this feedback to heart and now after install which is entirely determined by your internet connection/disc speed, you can hop into game insanely quick.
For a game I’m already playing I think from PS5 on to actually moving around in game we’re talking like… 10-15 seconds. It’s essentially just making save states. I’ve never seen a mandatory update stop me from launching a game, and it does most install in the background while it’s on standby. It takes longer to get in game on my Gaming PC than the PS5.
This was brutal in the PS3 & 360 era, better in the PS4/XBONE era, and is essentially solved as it can ever be in the current era.
If it’s the size of an Apple TV it will definitely only have a few ports. I can’t speak for anyone else but I’m personally fine with that, 1-2 USB-C, 1 USB-A, Ethernet, Power and HDMI would be fine IMO.
I think this was more of an issue when USB-C docks were less compatible and more expensive. Now you can get all the ports you need for $20. Just doesn’t seem like much of a big deal to me, when 90% of them are going to be connected to a monitor, wireless KB & mouse and WiFi and the occasional USB key or printer.
How else do you get the sweet sweet olives from within?
Why is that a worrying attitude?
They’re criticizing her for saying “he’s facist hitler” through the campaign as the sole message, and then when they lose, shrugging and treating it like any other loss. “Oh well, better luck next time!”
Babylon Bee’s point is that the rhetoric doesn’t match the actions. If he was Hitler, then why are you handing him the reigns like this is just any other election? Their implication is that the campaign dramatized his impact and demonized him. They’re right about the criticism but wrong about the reason.
He DOES represent the evils they’ve been espousing, and they are laying down and doing fuck all about it except paving him a clear path. Babylon Bee has managed to accidentally write their most non-partisan headline ever by accident, and a scathing indictment of spineless liberalism.
