The only scenario that I could see using one is as a computer on a long flight, particularly if you don’t want people looking over your shoulders or need a “huge” screen. If I commuted a lot and had to work on the road, I’d consider it.

Google Docs is the only meaningful competitor to Office. No one I know wants to try Linux desktop and I think it’s hard to convince anyone to give up the convenience of Windows. Proton works but in my experience requires too much experimentation for the average user.
The biggest advantage Apple has is they’ve been breaking legacy compatibility every couple years, training devs to write more portable code and setting a consumer expectation of change. I can’t imagine how the emulator will cope with 32bit software written for the Pentium II.
I recently bought an M1 Max and I definitely regret migrating data from my Intel MacBook. I’ve had to reinstall nearly all the apps anyway. Less compatible than I was expecting. Overall happy with it.
My understanding is that Apple had bought up all of TSMC’s 3nm capacity in 2023. That exclusivity may be up now explaining why Qualcomm is selling chips based on 3nm. Looks like they are working with Samsung and TSMC on this chip. This article is bizarre as it underplays the reason someone would buy this laptop. Long battery life, low heat, high performance thin/light is very valuable. Not everyone wants to play games. Will be interesting to see if Microsoft delivers.
I can’t imagine how embarrassing it would be to drive one of these. Like the rich man’s Pontiac Aztek.
My father in law has Windows 7 machines that he uses for scientific work that he refuses to update. His solution is to prevent them from connecting to the internet. Unfortunately not willing to try modern Linux.
Last time I bought what I thought was a pure balloon of He, I’m pretty sure it had gotten cut with fentanyl.
Seems like it has more to do with video games moving to a subscription basis. I’ve been trained not to buy PS5 exclusives after seeing everything I bought be added to a $10/month PS Plus offering.
But what about the poop knife story?
Those are some depressing examples!
The one I saw was a single 5K but he was running it at standard resolution (not retina) and making the screen equivalent to 50”. He also used a couple native safari windows on either side, which helps mitigate the single screen issue.
Unjerk for a moment. How much should something like this cost? Serious question. Seems like it can do things other devices really can’t. Saw a video yesterday from a programmer who said it could replicate an impossible physical setup. I don’t have a need for it but maybe someone else can see the value.
I know a guy who works at a dump in LA county. He’s retiring with pension in his early 50’s. I’m kind of jealous.
Backups are the plan, if you’re a plumber.
I read an article this week about how the Kinks were black listed from playing in the US in the mid to late 1960s because they pissed off someone involved with the stage/theater workers union. It was wild to me that a union could hold so much sway over commercial operations in the US.
There are a lot of companies out there that need help with their technology. Even if AI could solve the problem, they still need someone to implement it. Keep your head up and keep working hard!

This is a case where you didn’t even need to read the article. You just had to read the headline!
Wireless is always better than no connection at all if you need a connection and you’re not wired.
