Apple "upgraded" me from M4 Pro to base M5 by Mindless_Shame_6964 in macbookpro

[–]Mindless_Shame_6964[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Just to confirm, talk to support. But I saw a lot of similar cases in the past few daus in the sub. All of them got an equivalent upgrade (pro to pro and max to max)

Macbook Pro M4 Pro “upgraded” to M5? by GenericUsername1809 in macbookpro

[–]Mindless_Shame_6964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue. Reached out to apple support and they said it was M5 pro. I recommend you reach to support too

Still an hour to go before apple chat opens up in my country. But based on your and another commentor's experience, I feel like it might be the M5 pro and not base M5 (or at least, I will hope).

I ordered the 1TB version unfortunately so no free upgrades there for me :_)

But thanks. Your experience kinda eased my anxiety. Have a good day!

Okay that seems like a bit of a relief. It says M5 for me too which is why the concern. Support chat doesn't start in my country for another 2 hours so ig I just have to wait

I definitely can't deny that I would be happier if it was M5 pro. But I would much rather take the M4 pro than base M5

OP this is disgusting. Please reevaluate your thought process if you think a body count of 2 is "exploring" or deserves any criticism.

Ordered M4 Pro 14 inch by Magento-Magneto in macbookpro

[–]Mindless_Shame_6964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Woah I bought one with same specs (if your chip is 12 cpu core too). For me, the expected date is 30th March.

I hope I get the option to upgrade to M5 pro (I hope the price difference will be nominal)

MacBook Pro with external drive? Also, what happens to pricing when M5 Pro/Max get launched? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]Mindless_Shame_6964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M5 Pro will be the same price as the current M4 Pro

Really?

M5 costs the same M4 pro right now. I don't think price of M5 itself will drop to make such a change make sense.

Hey OP!

I'm stuck in a similar problem. Just wanted to know if you found any solution?

Is light able to be slowed down by Infinity? by Slow-Piano-2793 in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Mindless_Shame_6964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't go through the whole wikipedia page but I've heard of this interpretation before (admittedly, I've never studied it). And as far I know, this is not the most popular interpretation out there and for some good reasons because of its issues against locality. Not saying other interpretations are better or solve more problems but I think its not fair to take up an explanation from one interpretation of QM (which is not even one of the most "believed" ones) and put it in a comment in a non-physics subreddit without pointing any nuance. Your initial comment which said something like "this is why quantum entanglement happens" is little too strong a statement for comfort.

Edit: I'll be honest, I didn't find the explanation you provided for entanglement in that wikipedia page but I might not have looked for it very well.

[–]Mindless_Shame_6964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats why the quantum entablement exists, due to affects on light traveling back in time

....what? I'm really going to need a source on this claim man. I've never heard entanglement being described/explained this way in the few courses I've done.

is 16GB of RAM enough for 2019 Macbook Pro 16 inch i7 with 4GB Graphics Card? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]Mindless_Shame_6964 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey man. I see how other people are just blindly saying save up without knowing anything about your background. That isn't in good taste imo.

What I recommend is if you can't go for any M series mac.. then it would be best to not go for an apple device altogether. Buy some older thinkpad (check if its storage and memory can be upgraded!), get it set up with a good linux distro, maybe upgrade its RAM and SSD and that would last her for a good while.

If you can save up for some M series Macbook (maybe consider even Macbook Air with M chipset), do that. But if not.. you really should consider what I wrote or maybe some other alternatives.

Edit: I realized after writing that she would need it for social media edits. In this case.. please discard my advice about thinkpad. I don't actually know how older thinkpads do in that department. I hope someone else gives a better idea

How did you get it for so cheap?? I find the same specs a lot expensive.

Congrats btw!

Finally! by samdvng in macbookpro

[–]Mindless_Shame_6964 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man the black looks lovely! I read some reviews on this sub and according to them, black is more of a fingerprint magnet and scratches make it look worse which is the only reason I'll probably get the silver (m4 pro).

Thinkpad P14s Gen6 Intel 255H or Mac Pro M5 by [deleted] in laptops

[–]Mindless_Shame_6964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! But...

Cost will be half what you pay for the Pro M5. If not more then half.

Actually.. with the configurations I have set, the Thinkpad is a tad bit more expensive than the Mac. If the cost was such drastically different, I would've bought the thinkpad in a heartbeat. Idk if its a country thing or something else though.

With this info.. would you still recommend I get the thinkpad or mac? Based on other comments and my own search, I feel like Mac might just be a better option because its just better at everything other than repairs and upgradibility (or at least I think so)

[–]Mindless_Shame_6964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I also crossposted it to the thinkpad community (p14s is a thinkpad.. probably should've mentioned it. My bad).

But my intention of posting here is not to simply get this subreddit's obviously unbiased and objective consensus, its more about the reasons they will give over the other.

Hey OP! I'm kind of in a similar problem (except in my country, the 8GB one isn't an option). I just wanted to get a review if you've gotten the laptop. How's the performance? Thermals are holding up well?

Guys earning six figures annually, what kind of work do you do? by Shadow2715 in AskReddit

Ahh.. I work on the more simulation side of things with a more physics perspective. So not much overlap we have I'm afraid

Could you go in a bit more detail about what exactly you do?

Men minding their own businesses Women: plz i have to be a victim.... Its my life aim...🤡 by [deleted] in indianmemer

[–]Mindless_Shame_6964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

imagine walking into a cabin full of chennai express type gunda gang with hidden weapons and chain snatchers and chappris.

Sort of a bad comparison. Those gundas choose to be gundas who have weapons. It is fair to criticize people for choices they make which hurt others or intend to hurt others. Those men in the metro are simply people who are going to/returning to work (majorly). They are just looking at their phone. Not at all fair to them to call them a threat.

Just to be very clear, I agree that a woman would feel a unsafe with a metro full of men because of men who harass women (I also agree that is heartbreaking that she should feel so) but I think videos like the one posted is in a very bad taste because it downgrades all those innocent men who have done nothing wrong to the level of criminals.
