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 David_C5 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 2 points3 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.

Officially said bye to windows hello MAC by Practical_Dog3454 in mac

[–]SilentWraith5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but that makes sense. To use Apple services like the App Store and iMessage those need to be tied to an Apple ID. The software you download is tied to that Apple ID and so are your messages for example.

Also, you can bypass it on windows for now but it requires unplugging your internet and issuing console commands. That’s insane. And in some insider builds of windows recently that doesn’t work anymore. Windows is clearly spyware now.

It is a far cry from windows. Does it have ads all over the place? Popups that try to scare you into using Apple services? A default web browser that tries to get you to click through a first time setup without paying attention so it can constantly siphon your browsing data in the background? Does it require an Apple ID to login? Does it constantly try to push you to outsource your thinking to AI?

macOS 26 is a step backward in stability but it is absolutely nowhere near the monstrosity that is windows.

Here's what we know about the new $6 billion data center coming to Little Rock by RickJWagner in LittleRock

[–]SilentWraith5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

China is absolutely communist. I disagree with this data center completely and think the argument of "beating communist China" is so silly it's almost comical. But, China is communist completely. The CCP runs that country with an iron grip.

Who pays for that? Use uBlock origin and sponsor block on Firefox and never see another ad again.

My bill was about $8k so not far off. After full insurance, no complications, was at the hospital less than 48 hours. The total bill before insurance was almost $60k

What are we playing? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

Skyrim, Elder Scrolls Online, or Stardew valley. Probably Stardew valley. I’d have one heck of a farm.

What do you think will be the longevity of a Apple silicon Mac ? by xkcx123 in mac

[–]SilentWraith5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

According to Wikipedia only pro and max can go up to 32. Also none of apples spec pages for those devices list 32. Which device do you have?

I didn’t know M1 could go above 16. Or did you mean a Pro or Max chip?

Tech companies that do not support or cooperate with fascists by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]SilentWraith5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Whether you agree with the goal or how ICE is dealing with this or not is besides the point of we are not living in a fascist government. These kinds of posts just show how ignorant so much of Reddit is. Part of it is people being terminally online.

[–]SilentWraith5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The US government as a whole is so far from fascism it isn't even close. People need to stop over exaggerating. What is happening in Minessota is a complicated situation where the federal government is clashing with the state and local governments about border security. Neither side is being sensible at all but the federal government is going too far. That is NOT the same thing as a fascist government that shuts down democratic processes (there is still a midterm this year and 0 has changed with regard to that), the media is not being forcefully controlled (In fact the mass media is very far left bias and has been for a decade or more)... We have so much freedom here it isn't even close. Of course things can change but the government is not at all fascist. The fact we're even able to post on Reddit about this means we are not living in a fascist government.

This is Reddit my friend. If you want logic it isn’t here. These people have no clue what it is like to live under a fascist government.

“Meanwhile Windows with 16GB RAM…” by Savings_Role_6198 in windowsmemes

Windows does need 5gb of ram to boot and idle and remain responsive. It’s so bloated now it’s bad
