lol those i9 mbps were such trash

- more expensive than the i7
- less battery time than the i7
- actually slower than the i7 most of the time (it overheated so quickly and spent so much of its time being throttled)

other than that, great chip

essentially all the reasons they never made a g5 powebook, but for some reason they built and sold this one

i'm actually asking for specifics, in a non-snarky way. i thought the only product they had was the surface?

e: oh they make "surface laptops" now, huh. are they any good?

they're the best computer microsoft makes.

they're fine, and they have good screens with a 3:2 aspect ratio, which is pretty good for some things. they actually function and don't seem to have the massive reliability issues of the various surface tablets. all the accessories are still poo poo though because they use the surface dock connector which is hot garbage.

yeah. best monitors i ever had were the pair of sony CPD-G400. 19", would do 1600x1200 @85Hz, crisp as hell, great colors. just perfect, until they started deteriorating

mine was pretty old by the time i was using it and it would get wiggy above 75hz, but you could do 1280x1024 @ 75hz and it looked great.

it's also possible to "fear" change because you believe the change will on balance make things worse. it's not inherently bad to try to prevent the world from becoming materially worse, just because it's new

why would I want a smaller screen when I can get a larger one?

depends on why you're using a laptop i suppose

imo, it's meant to be portable, so smaller and lighter is preferable, if you need a larger screen, hook it up to a dock and a desktop display. obviously not everyone prioritizes the same things

sure they would, but jumping straight to "well crapple's done it again" every time someone posts some hollywood upstairs design school graduate's concept render for a product based off one of a million patent fillings apple filed last year is a bit dumb.

it's like making fun of spacex for the concept starship drawings musk stans made. they're stupid, but also completely unconnected to anything the company is actually doing*

actually just try modifying the root directory in general. you can't without disabling poo poo in recovery mode.

apple provides computing appliances. within the bounds of apple's intend use, they work with minimal friction. outside of that, not so much

the corollary to this is apple design has gotten so bad that people in this thread will defend things that would have seemed like awful poo poo on an android eight years ago

no, you see, it's actually good now, because apple is doing it.

idk that folding devices are actually on the rise. or to the extent that they are, it's in much the same way 3d phones were on the rise in 2011 or whenever

apple doesn't make one though, so it's impossible to say if they're good or not

hey, yospos. it is me your computer.

I have a M1 Mac Mini. When I use an external USB drive - WD in this case - the drive will work fine for a couple hours. But at some point when I then go to the drive via Finder nothing will show up. It looks like this.

This only happens with drives that I formatted on the new Mac. All my external drives formatted on my 2015 Intel MacBook Pro are fine.

Any idea what causes this? I'm on the newest OS.

if you check the logs, do they show anything about the filesystem being corrupt? can you still list the directories in terminal?
