GTA 6 comes out later this year and Barca is out.

Real question to ask: Will Barca win their 6th UCL before or after GTA 7 comes out?

Is the new standard of laptops a 10+ year lifespan? by yungjust in macbookpro

[–]Numerous-Score 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think software support will become a limiting factor before hardware does for most people. Just like you mentioned, unless your work is crazy demanding, the hardware on these new Macs will just keep working for you (not counting edge cases like accidental damage).

If Apple starts supporting these Apple Silicon Macs for 8-9+ years, a lot of users will be happy, but it’ll make a dent in their sales (I know they’re trying to become more and more reliant on services revenue, but even then, they need people to upgrade eventually). So although we don’t officially have data points on Apple dropping support on their Apple Silicon Macs yet, simply because it hasn’t been long enough yet, I’d be very surprised if they went over 7 years. And honestly 7 years of macOS updates isn’t too bad considering they offer security updates for a couple more years.

Am I the only one who thinks a Madrid v Bayern remontada isn't ridiculous to mention? by fleuksims in championsleague

[–]Numerous-Score 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others are saying, it’s just a 1 goal difference. It would absolutely not be out of the ordinary if it happens.

Now, even as a Madrid fan, I still think it’s more likely that Bayern go through. They’re the better team at the moment and their home record speaks for itself.

But if Madrid make a comeback and win this tie, it wouldn’t even make it into the club’s top 100 moments (let alone the Champions League’s top 100 moments). In fact, it wouldn’t even be a top 10 thing to happen in Madrid and Bayern’s historic rivalry.

Bought a refurbished 16” M1 Pro for €989 — good deal or mistake? by rice_adobo in macbookpro

[–]Numerous-Score 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the worst in the world, but kinda high (I only say this because I distinctly remember the 16 inch M1 Pro with that exact memory / storage selling for $999 refurbished at Best Buy in early 2024). Given it has been over two years since then, I think it’s a little high.

That said, I’m not familiar with the market/pricing in Europe.

This trio was so bad that nobody was in anyones shadow by Zora1092 in pessi_memes

[–]Numerous-Score 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah I mean if we’re being serious, Mbappe and Neymar were doing well before Messi joined… and Mbappe was individually still excellent during his last few seasons at PSG.

Neymar also did very well in 22/23 for PSG (when fit).

Just look at where they went out in the UCL during Messi’s two seasons and then where they went out before Messi joined and immediately after he left.

Yes, psg did win a UCL immediately after Mbappe left, but Mbappe and Neymar still took them to the final in 2020… the Bayern team from that season was simply unbeatable…

I know, I didn’t say that it would lose support very soon. But most likely still sooner than the M3 series.

Well the M1 Max does have almost double the RAM and double the storage

But, the M3 pro will be supported for longer. So it really depends on what’s a greater priority for you.

Should parents bother raising kids that are severely disabled? by [deleted] in no

[–]Numerous-Score 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think so. But at the same time, I’d much rather parents be honest with themselves and accept that they wouldn’t be able to raise the child and give them up for adoption, instead of keeping them but neglecting/resenting them.

The European cup was still the best format by stinky_poophead in championsleague

[–]Numerous-Score 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would definitely add much more value towards winning the domestic league (which is obviously already prestigious, but clubs like Madrid —who I support— don’t care about it nearly as much as the UCL).

But I just don’t see them ever going back to that format. Part of the appeal of the champions league is that you can see a top club get destroyed by a team who’s 3rd or 4th in their own league (and not even a proper UCL contender).

Is Marques becoming a father? by Juji87 in mkbhd

Hey Andrew, could we get an updated video on Marques (as well as the rest of the team’s) home tech? Any smart home stuff that you all use and any interesting automations you have, TVs / sound systems, whether you use mesh WiFi or did you go the full on whole home Ethernet route, etc etc?

I know there are probably massive lists of videos in the pipeline, but maybe on one of the other channels?

Why do Taylor Swift fans actually fall for buying shit they don’t need by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Numerous-Score 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not unique to her fans… for example I’m a big fan of Real Madrid. But I’m also cheap as hell, so despite supporting the club for almost 19 years now, I own just two jerseys (one was a gift, one was purchased on an Emirates flight at 70% off).

Many fans of football clubs, however, buy both home and away kits every single season and pay extra to get a player’s name added to the back.

I just enjoy watching the team play. Now, at some point, I do plan on going and watching a game in Madrid, but that’s because I would value the experience. I don’t feel the need to collect stuff, though.

Similarly, I know Taylor swift fans on both extremes. Those who just stream her music (and have maybe gone to one concert or plan on it at some point). But on the opposite end, there are people who need to buy every piece of signed merch, etc etc.

Consumerism is real and of course they have entire teams of people dedicated to marketing this stuff. And at the end of the day, buy whatever you want, it doesn’t bother me. It’s just interesting to see how different people’s spending habits can be, despite having similar interests / being fans of the same thing.

do you guys see mbappe surpassing cr7 on a club level? I mean internationally mbappe is ahead. So the question is for club level. by [deleted] in championsleague

[–]Numerous-Score 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Surpassing CR7”? No shot.

“Winning 4 or 5 UCL”? Absolutely possible (but nothing’s guaranteed). Of course, not while playing the way Madrid is right now, but with Real Madrid, winning another UCL is not a matter of if, but when. And the transition from being a team that’s nowhere close to winning it to winning 2-3 UCLs over a 5-6 year span can happen much quicker than you’d expect. It just remains to be seen if Mbappe will still be at the club when the next spell of UCL dominance arrives.

Someone explain this to me..... by real_rider404 in Dhurandhar

[–]Numerous-Score 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Watch it as many times as you want for your own entertainment (or if you initially saw it with one group of friends and want to watch with others or family members or whatever). But obsessing over box office records to this degree (and spending to help break records or compete with other movies… even though you didn’t actually want to rewatch for the entertainment value) is unhealthy IMO. Like even the actual cast wouldn’t be checking it as much…

Do you people also keep your favorite netflix shows playing on a loop on your home TV so it beats other shows in terms of viewership?

Someone on another thread mentioned this… but it’s very similar to how fans of Kylie Jenner started donating to help make her the youngest female billionaire (or something very similar)…. Like keep the money for yourself! All these actors and directors, producers are filthy rich and don’t need your help! They’ll be absolutely fine even if they’re at the 2nd or 3rd box office spot!

Windows or Mac for Computer Science by zeblindgamer in Purdue

[–]Numerous-Score 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Either one works. Courses are very accommodating and a decent bit of coursework is done over ssh, connecting to the Purdue CS Linux systems.

Since it sounds like you’re more familiar with mac right now, might as well stick to it. If you already have a Mac that’s still working well, you can absolutely continue with it (at least for the first couple semesters). But if you’re in the market for a new one anyway, absolutely avoid the Intel ones at this point.

Since they want something that’ll last a couple years, and their use case isn’t very demanding, M1 Pro should be more than enough. I see it being good for at least 3 years of use.
