They did mother fucking Krieg!!

10th gave us a ton! New Gaunts, Hormagaunts, Lictors, Deathleapers, biovores, Screamer fex, and 4 new units!!

Yeah, I hate those assholes too. I feel bad for anyone who falls for their business model.

Glances at my Tyranid collection

Does Wicked Count? If not then that weird piece of shit Nicolas Cage was involved in last year. Really cool concept until it became an out of touch rant about “woke cancel culture” or some shit.

I’d argue it will be Android/iOS/ChromeOS over Windows, for better or for worse. This fucks over companies and governments than it does the average user, in aggregate.

I spend a few months here and there just using my iPad for everything I can (I got through my college degree with one a long time ago and it’s nostalgic for me), and it’s crazy to me how feature complete it is for most work flows. Exactly programming is an issue, for me, but I can create an STL to printing it all on device! Much less office and what not.

Yup. It’s got a stupid amount of bloat for what it is used for, but it’s aggressively “okay.”

Will take it everyday of the week instead of taking meetings in person.

For me it’s the constant suggestions of other communities and posts on my feed of joined subs.

Next thing I knew my feed was slowly filling up with rage bait, which I never had a problem with a third party app, and I’d close the app angrier and outraged than when I started.

It’s nicer here, lol.

What? I booted my Linux machine sometime last year and my Mac gets rebooted for updates.

Not all of us use Windows, my friend.

And more over the electorate is calcified along party lines where the outcomes for either side is perceived as being stark and dire. I suspect this means concerns like these might get stifled even if it is held by both parties.

For real. And they’re cheaper too.

I pay around $300 annually for unlimited data?

Not to dog pile, but unless it’s some niche hardware drivers are the last thing that springs to mind on my Linux boxes.

I will say the Linux volunteers have a slight blind spot for creative workflows.

That would be the dream :)

Which is making me sad. 3d printing is so open atm, but I wouldn’t be surprised if enshittification will take place in this space in my lifetime.

Hey man, I work on a Microsoft full stack — VS corrupts files or locks up regularly 🤷That’s before we touch Windows on a server box

TIL. Thank you very much. Looks like I’m going to be using that if YouTube gets even more painful.

I know it’s a pain, but what’s to stop us from using download-clis? In theory I could “collect” the urls that are recommended to me from my home page, call the clis, click all the videos to update my recommendations then close the browser.

Lmao, I’m a public servant and a developer. I make that choice every year.

Absolutely not.

What’s your thoughts on Orion? It’s weirdly niche, but has been killer for me.

Holy god. I’m not letting go of my '09 carolla and ebike. What the fuck.

“Chromebooks have more functionality than macbooks for a lot less” I was literally saying “Chromebooks have more functionality than macbooks for a lot less”. I was not saying “Chromebooks can run resource intensive programs faster than macbooks for a lot less”

Ah, isn’t there a quote about “every discussion should start with establishing definitions.” For me, I suppose, I interpret the “functionality” of a device, be it a phone or w.e., I’m focused on what problems or solutions it provides and often I bound by the specs. Anyhow, that was precisely how I read it and was extremely confused. I understand the take now.

anyone wanting to play games will be better suited with a Windows gaming laptop than a MacBook or Chromebook no matter how you slice it and it the hope is for extended battery life while gaming you are going to be better suited streaming games anyhow

Oh for sure, I was just using it as an example use case and demonstration of perfomance. Getting into benchmark comparisons, or rendering runtimes, or L2 cache performance is super boring and boils down to “number go up, big good,” ya know? That being said, when you do come across a game that is Metal based it’s pretty nuts 'cause then you get the full power of the reduced instruction set of the processor without the computation bloat of translation layers, and on general applications ARM vs x86 Intel builds make a huge difference on battery life (Though, Metal games are super rare). While it runs on everything, WoW had a Metal build at the device launch and that puppy ran for 8-9 hours on battery (which, like it’s WoW, come on 🤣). I’m really excited for the Metal release of Baldur’s Gate 3 coming the first week of Sept cause I suspect it will be lovely too.

And as I noticed in that guys video he was having to use an SD card so we know that storage limitation is a factor.

Def, I think he runs the AppleGamingWiki (or one of them) so he’s testing tons of stuff constantly. Personally, I keep I a library of 5-6 games plus my various IDEs and various software without external storage.

I’m not all that knowledgeable as far as video goes but I do work in the production world and as far as video goes…[rest of the paragraph]

Absolutely. At that performance clip Apple sucks on the high end (like I can at least defend the ‘premium’ hike of the entry level MBA, but what the fuck 🤣). Sure, they have a “MacPro” that’s offensive and obsene in pricing. If you want a good laugh take a look. Play around with a few builds, it’s a wonder to behold. There might exist a rendering studio in the world that has a workflow built around FinalCut or something, but at that point an Applications Analyst should start waving the warning flag about saving tons of money switching to another application. I know MKBHD’s Production Company has a horrifyingly expensive MacPro, but that’s the only one that comes to mind. They’re trying to target speed to the umpteenth degree, but I can’t speak to how much better it does at that clip versus a similarly priced PC (I’d wager it doesn’t, but he swears by it so idk 🤷).

I did see you slipped back a little bit on the 2in1 situation though…[rest of the paragraph]

Correct, I suspected there was a definition mismatch of “functionality” and made arguments relative to the language to eek it out. Though, I imagine a consumer wouldn’t be likely exclude a product for having a touch screen or being a 2-n-1 (since these features are optional) and wouldn’t elimate a MacBook — however, if one wanted/expected it they would certainly pass over the device on the snap or consider it a concession. In my personal experience, I do have people poke my Mac screen from time to time since it’s the default on Windows devices. I’m curious if Apple moves to include it going forward, since they are offerring to serve iOS apps on MacOS if the developer opts in.
