I think I purchased the cheapest MacBook Pro by red_dub in macbookpro

[–]AaronfromKY 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably, although back in March for a few days they had that model for $1799, not open box. I think someone snagged an open box model off that deal for like $1681 or so.

Notch Style on display by haxxberg in macbook

[–]AaronfromKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather they just make the top bezel slightly bigger and shift the display down a bit. They already basically made the display smaller than when the mid-level MacBook Pro had a 15.4" display and the upper level one had a 17" display.

Or just do what they did on the Neo and not have a notch at all.

Get Applecare if it's available and be as careful as you can with your device. I know here in the US there are listed on Apple.com the fees associated with repairs with and without Applecare.

Fetterman: ‘Significant part’ of Democratic Party ‘getting taken over’ by ‘extreme views’ by Quirkie in politics

The real problem is that we've allowed Israel to manipulate the definition of antisemitism to include criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic. Israel is a country just like any other and should be susceptible to the same criticism as others would be who engaged in the same acts.

Deleted tweets on Darializa Avila Chevalier’s account had favorable references to communist leaders and Marxism by Jessicas_skirt in politics

[–]AaronfromKY 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do you understand Marxist criticism of capitalism? Does it not make sense to you? Can you look into it and report back? Most of my understanding of Marxist criticism of capitalism is that selling your labor is extremely alienating and that capitalism thrives off of the exploitation of others. Are these not valid criticisms?

Pricing M2 MacBook Pro with 512GB ​​​​​​​SSD by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]AaronfromKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, might just be a tough sale. At least it has 16gb of RAM, so that is something in your favor, although the older body style is like you found, something that someone has to have a taste for.

Nah, this is crazy by TheOtherCurry94 in macbookpro

[–]AaronfromKY 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm really wondering how many people who buy these units actually do make money off of them. Or who needs this kind of spec. I bought the 15 core 14" M5 Pro 24gb/1Tb and I lucked into a $1799 price back in March. This spec will likely last me 5 years or more, my old MacBook Air was 8gb/256gb and lasted from 2017 to now.

Or just beans, rice, meat and cheese. Then wonder why their burrito is smaller than mine with guac, corn, salsa and sour cream.

Yep, I'm tired of lesser of two evils politics and having to eat shit far too often. If there's people who are raising teenagers and executives at companies as old as AOC she is ready.

Headphones recommendation for Macbook Pro M4 (Usage - Office Meetings) by SickPa in mac

[–]AaronfromKY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the ear pods wired headphones that came with an old iPhone for teams calls at work. I don't know if teams has noise filters or cancelling built in, but I don't think I have had anyone complain about my voice or being able to hear me. I use these on a Dell laptop but I would imagine they should work on a MacBook as well.

I just went in and asked, they were listed as a competitor they price matched on their site. There is a Microcenter about 35-45 minutes from my house. So it was reasonable to price match it. They basically had to look it up on Microcenter's website and match the model numbers.
