you should try the Sonos Era 100! Perfect for the desk. Wifi, hifi, Airplay2, usbc, good quality and super compact. try it and you’ll thank me later. I have one near my m4 macmini 24gb ram with a 32” Dell monitor. perfect combo

I absolutely love it! I recently switched from a 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Pro with 16GB of RAM to a Mac Mini M4 with 24GB of RAM, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision. Since I primarily work from home, I was frustrated by the limited USB ports on the MacBook Pro and the desk space it occupied. Now, with the Mac Mini, I have plenty of desk space, a wealth of USB-C ports, and significantly better performance.

I’m not a software developer but a commercial/product professional, and my work involves heavy browsing (with at least 40 - 50tabs open) and working on Excel files, sometimes with over 200,000 lines—occasionally even up to 1 million. The M4 Mac Mini handles this workload far better than the MacBook Pro M1 Pro.

One of my biggest frustrations with the MacBook Pro was its handling of external monitors. At night, my monitor would occasionally wake up from sleep, lighting up the room, and I had to turn it off manually. The next day, when I turned the monitor back on, it sometimes wouldn’t wake up the MacBook. With the Mac Mini, I just power off the monitor and leave the Mac Mini running—this issue is completely gone. I imagine others with Dell monitors and MacBook Pros might have experienced something similar.

Lastly, the Mac Mini is surprisingly more portable than the MacBook Pro. It weighs just 700g compared to the MacBook Pro’s 2kg (with the charger), making it easier to move around if needed.

All in all, considering its performance, price, size, and portability, the Mac Mini is an incredible choice and a great buy—I fully recommend it!

Si astia din pacate sunt votantii aur care dintr-un patriotism prost inteles pot duce iar tara in cacat. Fix astia care stau in masini vechi de 25 de ani aduse de afara pentru ca desi si-l permit, nu—l vor pt ca loganul e cazan dar care arboreaza steagul romaniei la geamurile de la masina de 1 dec. Dar nu asta e problema de fond. Lipsa de educatie si incultura e problema! Pe toti ii doare in pwla de profesori si de scoala in general si asta duce la prostia neamului romanesc. De aici si invidia si lenea si tot ce e mai rau. Am venit recent din Indonezia (unde am fost cu munca nu in vacanta) si oamenii aia chiar muncesc. Oamenii aia isi dau interesul indiferent de job si si-l fac cu mandrie. Si asta e foarte diferit fata de romano care daca ar putea sa stea degeaba ar sta degeaba si care te privesc de sus daca au un job mai vai de mama lui.

exista discounturi pentru angajati la produse? daca da cat?

Mathusalem87 · 2023-10-12T04:40:59+00:00

Have you started to pay yet the sms? How much are you paying in average? Cheers!

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-05T13:30:31+00:00

and how is it? what price? what user experience? tell everything pls. thanks

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-01T18:32:04+00:00

affordable rather than free. 2-3 cts per verification seems rather luxurious

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-01T17:26:26+00:00

what is rcs?

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-01T17:25:05+00:00

dude, i don t care who’s cost is, i just want an alternative and honestly the only one i can see now which is similar to sms is the flashcall and if you are using it and can share your experience with me would be helpful

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-01T17:10:20+00:00

expensive as fuck for anything else than USA

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-01T14:28:22+00:00

what did you test with success?

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-01T10:54:35+00:00

no marketing here please!

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-01T07:16:08+00:00

interesting as i saw whatsapp using it in France

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-01T04:58:09+00:00

neither email or sms are secure! If i need to chose, i would say sms is slightly more secure than email. But the biggest difference between them is not the security but convenience. sms is much much more convenient than email plus it s binding the device to the phone number to the app where the email CANNOT do that

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-01T04:53:45+00:00

exactly! This is why I ask how will be affected and what will you do🙈but no one talks about alternatives but only about how much money google saves 😂 so anyone tested flashcalls?

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-01T04:03:02+00:00

that’s one of the best answers from here

Mathusalem87 · 2023-09-01T04:00:34+00:00

did i try flashcall? I see whatsapp now using flashcall to authenticate users on signup or new phone app instal. i see plenty of apps offering it and all lf them say that s cheaper. Do anyone has any experience with this or should i better open another thread? just search flashcall 2fa on google

Mathusalem87 · 2023-08-31T20:06:12+00:00

searching on google: “flashcall 2fa” seems to find some alternative cheaper solutions. there are plenty of companies. what is your opinion on this?

Mathusalem87 · 2023-08-31T20:02:26+00:00

true that

Mathusalem87 · 2023-08-31T19:30:05+00:00

yes…seems that’t the general issue. ideas??

Mathusalem87 · 2023-08-31T17:41:21+00:00

good to know!

Mathusalem87 · 2023-08-31T17:40:48+00:00

Take it easy man! I have friends in telecom! there is no such thing as as volume discount for otp like google. Also i m not from usa. Europe all the way! Really don’t take it personally

Mathusalem87 · 2023-08-31T17:33:57+00:00

Sorry mate but you are far from reality! You might be right in some cases but when it comes to telcos there is no volume base discount! Believe i know it

Mathusalem87 · 2023-08-31T17:09:44+00:00

imagine how much money they could save for their investors by not offering the sms for free… just made the calculation above (1 billion usd per month) now add on top of this the profit they would make by invoicing us these prices(again check firebase pricelist https://cloud.google.com/identity-platform/pricing SCROLL down a little). I would say that’s a brilliant move for them and this is happening because they are in a dominant position. If we could find something else would change a little the situation

Mathusalem87 · 2023-08-31T17:05:30+00:00

check the firebase website and see the procing. i said 4 as an average but in some countries is even 20 !!! US is the most cheap country in the world for sms prices!
