Idk about you, but having to smell rotting piss makes me a lot less happy than having a few bucks less every month.

Also a lot of dip shit scammers probably tried using the VPN before you so they’re banned now.

Oh god oh fuck.

PC? All digital.

Consoles? All physical

I do t play games on console all that often so I’d rather the option to pick up a cheap used copy. Plus I could play that game any number of years down the road when the servers are long shut down. But on PC I just want to click the button and the game installs and opens.

We all knew that AI doesn’t know how to do human hands. But now we know that AI can’t do cow udders either. That shit is horrifying.

I used esata back in the day and I loved it. I had a second hard drive that I could plug into my laptop with all my games on it. This was back when SSDs were $1 per GB on a good day so 120GB SSDs were typical.

And even in the early days of USB 3 external HDDs were slow. It wasn’t until uasp became a thing that they didn’t suck outside of backing up large files.

Sub 120 puts you in a kinda tight spot. Not too much more than 120 will take you from a garbage second display, to something extremely nice in no time.

Should the display be driven by USB c alone, or is a separate power brick taking up space acceptable? You say work related so I assume 60hz is fine, but are you looking for 14” 1080p, 16” 1080p, or something g higher res?

For $170 I got a 16” 2560x1600 120hz IPS display and I love it. Sadly they downgraded the model to 1440p but my friend has one and it’s still great.

I’d honestly take chicken over beef just about any day. I’m committing chicken genocide.

Power consumption. Especially with turbo boost power consumption can easily spike well above what the power brick can deliver, so the battery is used like a capacitor. Or shit even without the spikes chargers can't keep up. My laptop will actually discharge under full load with the full 240 watt charger.

It's not normally an issue on REALLY low end devices (sub core i, like pentiums or atoms), but anything high end will reduce it's power consumption without a batter installed.

TPM is built into the CPU of all 8th gen and ryzen 2000 series CPUs. The module is only needed for older systems.

If you have 8th gen intel or ryzen 3000 series (maybe 2k but not 1k) emulation is built into the CPU so you don't need it.

TPM doesn't make running linux harder. People just have their biases and will happily spew BS as long as it goes with their biases.

That's assuming they even read the message and don't just close out of it instantly.

If you remove the battery it will either A not work or B run extremely slowly. Always have a functional battery in your laptops.

Ideally find a way to limit the charge of the battery. But if you can't nuking your battery is better than running at 800mhz or whatever your lowest clock speed is.

Thats assuming that people are actually going to throw their computers in the trash when the OS reaches end of life.

Most people running these old machines probably won't know or care.

Not than an equivalent ICE car. Sure you can make a subcompact EV, but it's either gonna have no range, or weigh more than a Nissan Versa.

Also the trackpad. Nobody comes close to Apples trackpad drivers. From palm rejection, to gestures, to just simply pointing. Not even Microsoft's precision track pads can compete.

Usually the wifi chips are broadcom based so they can be really shit on linux, but that obviously depends on the model.

You can’t update any browser

The 2014 13" MBP can run (officially) Mac OS 11

Chrome for Mac requires Mac OS 10.15 and up

Firefox requires Mac OS 10.12 and up

Apple's software (like Xcode) are pretty much the only things that wont be updated.

So that's just not true.

Laptop runs extremely slow

Source on that? I have an even older 2012 MBP and the latest Mac OS feels just as fast as the very first version it can run.

Everything works great, laptop is at least 3x faster.

That you can easily tell is just 100% made up. Even on old machines Mac OS still runs great on them, it's one of the best things Apple does for those devices.

What support are you going to get on a 2014 macbook? Zero support.

Not getting updates but everything works flawlessly > god forbid Arch of all things.

I can 100% garuntee you the trackpad (the primary way of interacting with a laptop) will be nowhere near as good as in Mac OS.

The ceo of Boeing was the ceo of my bosses last company. He cut every corner possible, took his paycheck and ran right before the company nose dived into the ground.

Now that he’s CEO of Boeing he did the one thing he set out to do. Get the Max series in the air so he can get his fat paycheck. Hopefully nothing literally nose dives this time.
