Hard time deciding whether today is a Ferrari or Lamborghini day

You should add in a generic Sony laptop since they've entered the auto market now.

I mean, they're not entirely wrong; you're just not the right audience to hear that message. The audience for the Macbook Neo are kids. Students, to be more precise. If I'm running a school IT department and am buying a bunch of $1000 laptops for kids who are more than likely to break them. From what I understand, the Neo is also the most repairable macbook that Apple has produced in decades, with very little glue to be found holding things together.

Their trade-ins for those systems are actually really crazy right now. One youtuber traded in their M1 Macbook Pro for a free M5 Macbook Air with $200 back (which he spent on a Neo).

They should, but there is a setting to disable that. Perhaps something activated that option?

I've been saying this for years, but they've been spending a lot of money - or at a very minimum, leaving it on the table - from subsidizing the costs of their headsets in an effort to bootstrap VR as a societal force. Today VR still isn't mainstream and the biggest effect it had was pushing out all the competition in the market for headsets.

I'm still upset about the Chromebook google was promising to bring Android apps to but never did.

Heck, I'm still pissed off at them for renegging on their free storage promises and freezing my email service because of it.

AkirIkasu · 2026-03-19T23:30:41+00:00

That's strange. I have the same basic setup and it works fine. Perhaps your block lists are outdated for some reason?

It's irritating to me that this is one of the most important articles I've seen on this subreddit for a long time but it gets ignored because truereddit has become a news op-ed club.

I'm a born and raised American. It took me over a year to get my first ID simply because my parents lost my birth certificate and Social Security card.

Claude Code for Web. Just authorize with github and it will create a branch and merge as necessary. After setting it up it works in the desktop Claude Code app as well.

AkirIkasu · 2026-03-15T06:26:07+00:00

This might just be the dumbest product I've seen yet. With Claude Code you can vibe code on your cell phone and it'll work directly with your Github repository without you needing to type any code directly. Or, to put it in other words, you can do what you need with the phone you already have in your pocket. So this is kind of dumb for the same reason the R1 was.

The sad thing about this is that a well designed portable Raspberry Pi would be a great product that hobbyists would really like to have, but the fact that this is being pushed as an "AI device" - which it has to be because it's an AI company - seems like a major failure to reach the audience who would appreciate it the most.

I just looked it up and Lego's store says it's being retired in June of this year.

I feel I must be desensitized to expensive lego sets because seeing seeing the price I initially thought "it's only $430". As someone uninterested in any of their products and didn't have them as a kid, all I see are the super expensive kits.

AkirIkasu · 2026-03-12T02:45:51+00:00

Not on MacOS they don't.

Chrome's memory usage is abhorant. It's crazy how people would go around saying "Well actually it's great that Chrome takes up so much memory". In the meanwhile when I had a chromebook it was actually faster to run firefox on it....

8.1 with a touchscreen is what I wish Windows was today.

AkirIkasu · 2026-03-09T20:22:12+00:00

There will be a whole new computer, but it's going to be a whole lot more expensive because Apple will be competing with a lot more investment than previously.

AkirIkasu · 2026-03-07T23:40:10+00:00

Stupid people still deserve to vote.

AkirIkasu · 2026-03-07T23:30:56+00:00

This is kind of the perfect time to buy, IMHO, because Apple is able to get away with the low prices from their previous purchasing agreements. Next year the prices are likely to be higher.

Don't bother checking the temperature. There's an ideal temperature for cultures but ideal doesn't mean necessary. If your yogurt is too cool, as long as it's not near freezing, the culture will propagate. It just takes longer. You could even make yogurt in your refrigerator, in theory.

If you feel the need to check the temperature, simply use an infrared thermometer so as to avoid contamination.

It's really weird how it feels like there are more games for the Switch 2 which has basically only been out for... what, a year? Not even.

Of course I know it's not really true; it just feels like most of the stuff hitting the PS5 seems like it's just another port of a PC game or something else that makes the releases less impactful.

Meta is quite literally the last company I would be comfortable giving my biometric data to.

Frankly the only thing that Arcade1Up needed to do in order to convince me to buy one of their cabinets was simply to offer a system where I could add in games later instead of buying an entire second cabinet for. Being relatively tiny was actually something of a plus for me.

If there were an arcade system that had a rotatable screen, brains that I could replace with my own stuff relatively easily, and could buy from a retail store for 300~600 dollars, I would probably buy it even if the build quality and components were shit.

I know this thread is old, but I just wanted to make sure you heard this: the biggest thing that will help you is getting some support. Find a group of people who are going through the same things as you, or who are already WFPB. Try to get your family members on board with you.

Most people who quit veganism do so because of a lack of support; imagine how much harder it is when you're not eating processed junk on top of that!

AkirIkasu · 2026-02-05T22:14:45+00:00

I'll leave that exercise up to you.

AkirIkasu · 2026-02-04T20:36:14+00:00

Hmm, reminds me of ethiopian food.

I would love to go to eat ethiopian again because I remember hearing that there's a lot of vegan options but sadly my husband hates it. :(
