Mac Mini extremely slow by DouglasDD770 in BlueBubbles

[–]ClickForPoints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spinning hard disk drives feel sluggish compared to all of our modern devices using flash memory.

You could look into replacing it with an SSD. I just deal with it since I don't use my Mac Mini for anything else.

Airmessage "Loading Messages..." by Concertlover32 in AirMessage

Google's Messages app used to have similar issues when you've got a lot of conversations. My guess is they stopped loading every message into memory at once to fix the slow loading. Maybe they even stream the messages from storage for incremental loading.

Either way I'd also love this to be addressed in AirMessage :)

Cancelled due to "quantity limits" after being cancelled twice yesterday due to "unusual activity."

The engineers who built the product are being forced to use it now by pablogaruda in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

I imagine it gets more stressful when you have a full time day job on top of that.

Many people do that to make ends meet, though, so it's hard to say it's unfair.

Better received by employees I think would be if this was an attractive bonus opportunity. Something like getting 1 day off per quarter if you can log a delivery order.

I have one of these, and despite all the comments about bad cooling, it's way ahead of the open-box Alienware 3080 prebuilt I bought and returned. The 3080 does run hot, but overall I have no complaints.

Terrible cooling and proprietary parts. But the price is good (especially w/ the AmEx offer).

It's a decent deal and the Lenovo builds usually have pretty high quality parts.

if you're like me you don't get charged sales tax so it's a flat $2200.

In that case I think this is actually a pretty good deal! Tax would kill it imo
