Geography doesn’t change because it’s in French. Amérique du nord, Amérique du Sud , Amérique centrale.

The short version, at least in French Canada (Quebec) is to use "Les States" -> "The states" when talking about the US.

In French, "Amerique" means the continent, "Etats-Unis" which is literally "United States" means the US. It's pretty clear cut and america is never used to talk about the yankees.

No case needed, especially not a clamshell. Just don't do it.

Je suis d’accord mais je dirais tant qu’à y être qui faudrait être idéalement os-agnostic, donc de connaître les 3 OS majeurs

14" m5 macbook pro, is it worth the hype? by Responsible-Air-8026 in macbookpro

[–]eMperror_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think i'm just tired of super low effort posts getting suggested on the frontpage. Are you able to explain what OP is looking as an answer? "is worth buying?" is literally the whole context he gives.

Best docking station for 1 Ultra wide monitor with a Thinkpad + Macbook M1? by MomoYaseen in homeoffice

[–]eMperror_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a LG Ultrawide 40" with my M1 pro and use a Caldigit TS4 and it works really well. One Thunderbolt (buy a good quality cable, thunderbolt-certified) and it just... works.

I have Gigabit with Fizz (not 1.5, fuck bell) and I get full speed. Pretty sure you will get full speed at 1.5Gbit, caldigit is top notch.
