That's literally it though

hypocrites?

Wouldn't fit very well into something like a smartphone though

What a deranged conclusion

I've heard that Baldur's Gate 3 was a massively successful launchday title, though it's not my cup of coffee.

There are still good games around, just unfortunately not the majority of them

That's the thing though - they deliberately made the product crappier after people already bought it.

Think this applies if Denuvo is included from the beginning, but it wasn't here

Yeah so what I'm saying is if they got paid enough, same or more than what they're getting with tips, we wouldn't need to tip.

Maybe they are pushing for higher tips because they aren't paid enough?

The operational overhead is often too time-intensive, among other issues.

You can either send a lad with a truck down the highway or you can send one to a train station somewhere, have him unload everything, wait for the train to leave, the train to get there (you'll be lucky if it's going straight where you need it to), have someone go to the destination station, unload it into another truck and finally deliver it.

It's might only be worth it for veery long trips, and the start and finish have got to be in good locations (harbors f.e.).

It makes sense to use trains, but as soon as you look into it, it becomes almost undoable.

It being a status symbol becomes kind of irelevant if every other person has it

They do, unfortunately

I had three cards from Kingston and SanDisk fail on me quite regularly while using the Pi.

M.2 / external storage is definitely the way to go

Why bother with simulations of governance systems and not governance itself at that point?

I do understand "the risk" of putting AI being the steering wheel but if you're already going to be trusting it this far, the last step probably doesn't actually matter.

So much better

Consider the alternative

Source for the revenue? Was only able to find figures in the $50-70bil range.

Profit $20-30bil.

Do you understand the case enough to make a more accurate judgement based on the relevant laws? I don't, but believe that the court does.

Yes

Windows on ARM is really incomparable to MacOS on ARM, it's like comparing a 15yos Hello World to a senior engineer's 10yo project.

Yes, for simple web browsing ChromeOS is just fine, but you can do so much more with a fullblown system. The performance is also in another league.

I honestly would say that the 16GB mbAir is good value, if it fits your use case (no gaming / heavy x86-only programs).

Don't forget Apple makes a shitton of money from services (AppStore, iCloud...), which often make a lot more money than hardware (so Sammy is at a disadvantage here).

I'm not trying to convince you the Apple's awesome, I don't think that myself either (on the contrary), but their chips just are pretty awesome

They've built a translation layer in for compatibility, though it's not perfectly fast, it's more than good enough from what I've heard.

It being Unix based definitely helps, though don't doubt Apple wouldn't have been able to deal with it if that weren't the case.

The chips really shine in laptops, I'd say desktops are a bit weaker, unless you're doing something heavily optimized (Final Cut Pro f.e.).

The biggest win is energy consumption, the difference is insane, I recommend you look up a benchmark or two, can range from 2 to 10x more efficient.

I honestly don't agree though that they're 3x the price of comparable products, the new Macbook Airs are pretty solid pieces of hardware for an okay sum of money. It really depends on your workload though, if you're gaming, you're gonna have a terrible time, if you're a dev / work in the browser / do some light editing you're gonna love the battery life and perf's not gonna hold you back.

They use ARM now, which is super efficient, the laptops last forever on battery.

If there's one thing Apple's done right, it's Apple Silicon
