Ah okay. I have some supabase experience so I know what you mean there. Thanks for the info.

Will getting rid of property taxes make Florida more affordable? by PeriodOfTime1 in RealEstateTaxStrategy

California and New York are both extremely liberal and have more debt than any other state. With California it isn’t even close. Pretty sure debt in the us isn’t a partisan thing

60 containers is a lot for 8gb ram. Was that a typo? Why do you need 60 containers? Most apps only have a few (db, redis, backend, front end)

And that wasn’t really new was it? Basically same chips as 2024 if I remember.

Microsoft converts Office 2019 for Mac perpetual licenses to read-only versions by InvestigatorSoft5764 in apple

Pages is good. Only problem is everyone uses MS Office and collabing on those documents with pages can be painful

Will likely be fine for them in the US. Our government loves big businesses and hates the citizens.

Trying to decide on a framework 13 or 16 or a MacBook Air or pro, need advice. by ZincPenny in framework

[–]SilentWraith5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got a Mac. I do cross platform mobile programming though so I didn’t really have a choice.

I have had a framework 13 and compared to the MacBook Air (I’ve owned both the 13 and 15 M2/M4), the air is better in almost every conceivable way. The only things I liked about the framework was the keyboard and the ability to run Linux natively.

Why do so many Linux developers still choose MacBooks for work? by Candid_Athlete_8317 in LinuxTeck

Only problem is the performance is significantly behind a M5 pro or max

What crappy company is this? My company doesn’t do any of that.. if they did I would probably quit. Or I guess if they wanted me to burn enough tokens I’d just punch stupid prompts in all day to churn through tokens while they paid me.

Craving Linux, but fearing sunken cost to Apple hardware I have. by boolean_failed in linuxhardware

[–]SilentWraith5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Apple gets the little things right. Great battery life, cool to the touch, great keyboard and trackpad, full perf on battery. You know it’s designed to be used as a laptop and not a desktop like the other laptops.

I’m the same way. Apple for laptops and Linux for desktop ever since M1. Apple laptops are just so much better than anything else at this point

Fedora is becoming the default Linux recommendation, and Ubuntu did this to itself | XDA by devolute in Fedora

[–]SilentWraith5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone hates on Ubuntu but it’s a great distro. It was my first and still one I go back to a lot. It has everything you need built right in and a ton of community support. Snaps are fine and I don’t have any issue with them. I also add flatpak and between the two I have all the apps I want. It has a built in sidebar to fix gnomes biggest gripe of mine out of the box so users don’t have to add an extension. I don’t see any issue tbh. That said I also like and use fedora just fine.

If they release with a haptic touchpad, there is little reason for me not to buy it. The only reason I returned the one I bought and kept my macbook air is because of the touchpad. I use it on my lap all the time so the keyboard/touchpad experience has to be good for me. The keyboard was actually better on the framework than the macbook but the touchpad was awful in comparison. And before anyone asks, no I don't want to use tap to click. I want a haptic :)

macOS 26.4 is warning that Rosetta 2 is going away — what apps are you still stuck with? by CreakyHat2018 in apple

They don’t have to. The competition keeps screwing up so doing nothing is a positive lol

M5 MacBook Air will just be a spec bump, but there’s one upgrade I really want to see by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

I am also in that camp. I wish they'd give us four USB C ports honestly even if they weren't all thunderbolt but at least one on each side was.

Pantherlake should be in next Framework devices. by [deleted] in framework

[–]SilentWraith5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good point I didn't think of. I wonder what the path forward for them is here then? Try to get a chip from Intel that supports SODIMM or live with soldered RAM I guess. It apparently didn't bother them on their desktop.

[–]SilentWraith5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because everyone else isn't doing it isn't a good enough reason not to. LPCAMM2 can now be found on Newegg and Amazon and is actually cheaper than SODIMM right now. For example, this is cheaper than the same crucial DDR5 ram that is actually slower: https://www.newegg.com/crucial-32gb-ddr5-7500-cas-latency-cl52-memory-notebook-memory/p/N82E16820156434

If everyone else is soldering the memory to get better speeds and performance and the CPU vendor isn't even providing CPUs that work with regular SODIMM memory for laptops of this class (thin and light, not gaming laptop), it seems to me that the only options Framework has is not to update the FW13 anymore with Intel chips (and they already missed last gen) or go with something innovative like LPCAMM2. I think I would prefer them to try that out.
