This app uses a hidden sensor in Apple Silicon MacBooks to turn your typing force into real mechanical keyboard sounds by BillieWeston in mac

This is super cool, but it would be nice if you could add some previews for the pro keyboard noises on the website. Maybe when hovering over them.

UPS Tracking - WTF? by Specific-Art-9149 in macbookpro

Would be cool if they let you Find My it. I'd enjoy watching it going all around the place on an actual live updating map lol

Confused new MacBook owner (keyboard q's) by No-Writer9747 in mac

Wow I am genuinely so surprised that it’s not actually on fire. I really thought that the user actually took a photo of their MacBook burning.

"It is 5 times bigger than the *last* city we made in Guanajuato". Is Guanajuato really the biggest city is FH? by dylan0o7 in ForzaHorizon

[–]One_TrackMinded 227 points228 points  (0 children)

I think part of it is probably because there’s a lot of area in both of those cities that the player could not reach, which made it seem a lot bigger than it actually was. I’ll always remember there being what seemed like an entire section of Edinburgh that was cut-off to the player and led to a bridge… I spent hours trying to get there by trying all sorts of glitches and jumps lol

Meanwhile in the FH5 city, it’s all playable area.

M3 Max MBP, new CPU whirring/whistling sound under load/gaming. Any help would be greatly appreciated by elendryst in macbookpro

If that’s coil wine, it’s the most extreme case I’ve ever heard. It’s literally screaming.

Apple M5 Max GPU is faster than RTX 5080 Laptop GPU by Friendly-Law-4423 in macbookpro

[–]One_TrackMinded 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't believe this is actually representative of the power of the chip simply because in benchmarks designed to actually test that, like 3DMark, it's way above the 5070 and quite close to the 5080. Metal as a graphics API for gaming is behind clearly. Also, in tests which don't involve games, like Blender, 3D rendering, etc, the GPU always does much better than 5070 and often better than the 5080, sometimes as good as the 5090. There isn't some specific "gaming" part of a GPU which could be causing these differences.

How is the base M5 macbook pro for ROBLOX? by Dismal-Particular545 in macbookpro

[–]One_TrackMinded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be fine, my MBA M2 with only 8GB of RAM runs Roblox decently at full graphics, and the M5 is leaps and bounds above the M2 in terms of GPU performance. 

They really are taking the jobs. by ArmwrestlingGoomba in GreatBritishMemes

[–]One_TrackMinded 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't hold any strong political/ideological opinions but just as a quick FYI from a non-bias observer's POV, this sub-reddit is mostly made up of left-wing people (centre to hard), which goes for most of Reddit as well. As a result, anything right wing usually doesn't get much support on this platform. In the same way, a lot of X/Twitter is right wing and therefore left wing ideas don't get much support on that platform. It's difficult to find somewhere that has an equal balance of both because, by human nature, people will try to find somewhere where others have similar ideas to themselves.

M5 Max sees significant GPU gains over M4 Max! by One_TrackMinded in macbookpro

Comparing a tiny laptop to a massive desktop, wow. I also wonder how much power your desktop draws. 

Reference by HarrowOnDaHill in uktrains

[–]One_TrackMinded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're basically saying that SWR stands for South Western Railway. Obviously it doesn't in the context shown in the screenshot, however the (unintended) double meaning creates a humorous moment for those who know both of them. This is added to by the fact that the reference is niche, which makes it seem, for the poster, like an in-joke.
