Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund

  • He's totally not doing it to get Trumpf to like him. He's gonna get his own imaginary political role.

    • EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into force

  • I was honestly on the fence of getting a MacBook recently as my first newly purchased Laptop, but ultimately decided against it.

    Got a fully decked out ThinkPad P14s instead for about 1800€. Meanwhile the new M4 MacBook Pro starts at 1900€. But I agree that Macs still are good value compared other Apple products.

    • 2024 is ending in 5 days and 2025 is coming in, What do you plan to do once 2025 kicks on?

    Jump

  • I'll try to cut down unnecessary purchases and my sugar intake.

    • The Paper Passport Is Dying

    Jump

  • No it's not? Literally just got a new passport and they didn't say anything about digital passport

    • the amount of slop saying "wait till the end" is too damn high

  • It's the attention span shrinking as time goes by.

    I have a brilliant idea actually; a video sharing site with a maximum video length of one second. "How much can you fit in a second? Find out for only $10/month"

  • I've only heard good things about Aorus (which is basically Gigabyte), though

  • My ASUS X470 board doesn't have it, though; guess it's a bit too old for that

  • Who green lit this? I really hope that person gets fired immediately.

    The lack of any visual link to ASUS isn't even the biggest problem for me; it's that ASUS rolls out a program that (presumably) puts itself in autostart by default and just pops up without prompt at all.

    Edit: There's a fucking setting in the BIOS to auto-install ASUS' bullshit software? And it's enabled by default.... jesus fucking christ

    • Bluesky teases paid subscription, Bluesky+, in new mockup

  • It's refreshing to see them not including "Ad-free" as a feature

  • You'd need a separate apartment just to keep it from sagging...

  • Oh no, I'm sure no one could've guessed the names...

    • These are the most-hated ads of 2024

    Jump

  • The Zynga one is the worst IMO, advertising online casinos of any kind should be illegal

    • What do you say or do with the person in the mirror?

  • I just stare and wait for them to do anything but they never do...

  • But replacing the screen isn't as trivial as it may be on the Chromatic.

  • Same... If you know about his "trip" to Japan you know that he's not exactly passionate about retro gaming either.

    I wonder why they chose him, of all people, as their brand ambassador. The rest of their marketing caters heavily towards people who grew up with the original Game Boys, i.e. people who are way to old to even know about this idiot.

  • I'm sure the GBC would be easier to repair on a component level; less components and overall simpler board design. Only exception could be the screen.

    Jump

  • It costs almost the same as an Analogue Pocket and has way fewer features.

    The Last Game Boy You’ll Ever Buy

    No matter how repairable this thing is, I guarantee you that original Game Boys pretty much offer the same level of repairability. I bought all of my GBs (DMG01, GBC, GBA SP) in broken state and repaired them; it's not that hard.

    For that price you can almost certainly find original hardware and have fun repairing it. That's what iFixit should advocate for IMO.

    Edit: There's a Logan Paul Edition.... What?

    • What's the most annoying music possible?

    Jump

  • I don't know, the whole premise of it being somehow calming or something.

    One user once tried to explain his fascination for Drone Doom to me; they said that it had a lot to do with feeling the "weight" of the music. Maybe it's the same with noise? There's something undeniably raw and visceral about it.

    Noise Rock can be good, but only because the Rock part re-introduces actual musical elements.
