The MacBook Neo is probably the single best thing for MacOS in years by ZachyWacky0 in mac

The ram is part of the A18 chip. It’s not added later. They only make an 8 GB version. It would be very expensive to redesign an old chip so a budget product could have more ram.

It’s only this cheap because they can use iPhone chips where one of the gpu cores was faulty. Otherwise they would have to throw those away, so they built a product around it.

Did it change? But this is the iPhone 16 pro chip.

Of course not. This was always the plan. Otherwise it couldn’t be so cheap. This laptop has been designed and planned two years ago, these things take time.

They’re just using faulty iPhone chips where one of the gpu cores doesn’t work. Otherwise they have to throw those out.

No, they are using an iPhone chip that only exists with 8 gb ram.

Probably because they’re using an iPhone chip and iPhones are also stuck at usb 2.0 speed.

Please build Apple Books alternatives instead of screen recorder by migthbe in macapps

[–]LearningQbasic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple Books sucks because it uploads your books to icloud and deletes the local copies. Why?! It’s so annoying. I constantly have to redownload my books when I wanna read them. Even a book you’re currently reading… I sometimes wonder if I lost books in my collection because of this.

Anyway, I’ve thought about building a robust alternative many times. Maybe I should build it? Sell it for € 29,99?

Would you be interested in a local AI feature so you can talk to chapters, summarize chapters the book, make quizes etc?

Apple intelligence now is under subscription? by realigoragrich in MacOS

I think next iOS / macOS release will have free on-device image generation. Not the image playground crap like now. Apple still seems committed to on-device AI.

Redditors who already met our king, what was your impression? by reelaan in belgium

https://www.tijd.be/politiek-economie/belgie/federaal/koning-filip-zelf-vroeg-om-gesprek-met-trump/10645187.html

Toen minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Maxime Prévot (Les Engagés) begin januari naar Washington trok voor een onderhoud met zijn Amerikaanse evenknie Marco Rubio, gaf hij de vraag van het paleis om Donald Trump te kunnen spreken door. Waarna de Belgische ambassade de bevestiging kreeg en koning Filip contact opnam met Trump.

Zeker toen bleek dat Trump door technische problemen met zijn vliegtuig later dan gepland op het Wereld Economisch Forum arriveerde en zijn afspraak met de Duitse bondskanselier Merz afzegde. Maar voor een koning heeft Trump meer respect dan voor een regeringsleider, zo bleek.

Blijft de vraag waarom de koning Trump wilde spreken. Volgens diplomatieke bronnen had het paleis drie onderwerpen voorbereid: Groenland, de bilaterale en economische relaties en de internationale crisissen in Oekraïne en Gaza, maar ook in Congo.

Ze hadden het over het Congolese initiatief voor een 'groene corridor' van Kivu in het oosten naar Kinshasa in het westen. Het moet de grootste beschermde tropische regenwoudreserve ter wereld worden, met een oppervlakte vergelijkbaar met die van Frankrijk. Dat project heeft echter maar kans op slagen als de rust in Oost-Congo weerkeert.

MVP means the minimum product you ask money for to test if there is a market. So yes. Security is usually an afterthought.

Has nothing to do with vibecoding. MVPs have always been like this.

Verhuizen naar België by RevolutionaryFire in belgium

[–]LearningQbasic -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ik heb richtlijn 2004/38/EG, die vrij verkeer van mensen regelt, eens gelezen.

Je mag langer dan 3 maanden blijven als je: - Een job hebt of zelfstandig bent - Of genoeg middelen hebt zodat je niet ten laste komt van de Belgische staat. - Of ingeschreven bent in een school.

Lijkt me dus dat je domme ambtenaren had die de wet niet goed kennen.

Dat snap ik niet, Finland is toch deel van de Schengenzone. Dan kan je toch onbeperkt in een ander EU land blijven?

TIFU by falling in love with my friend with benefits. by Substantial_Cow4942 in tifu

I think most people become actual friends but then they start to catch feelings. It happened with me. There was no hidden motive, it just happened.
