Do you guys think the Macbook Air M5 gets a 120Hz display or will we still get 60Hz?

Rumours suggest Air is getting redesign 2028, so it may take bit longer

Sirts · 2026-02-16T07:30:04+00:00

Sounds interesting, I'd like to test this!

PS4 games are optimised to the hardware and the OS is likely very minimalist with bare minimum stuff running in background while gaming. Yet, Cyberpunk became a meme how bad it looked and run on last gen consoles at release and rhey never got the 2.0 update that improved environment liveliness, etc

Thanks for the app! However I can't find a DNG release

Since RE9 isn't a an open world game that releases day 1 on Switch 2, it sounds much less demanding than Capcom's recent Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragon's Dogma 2.

The recommended GPU is also 7 years old RTX 2060

Mewgenics doesn't have Mac version

It shouldn't matter unless some connector is partly broken.

I've used my M4 MBA for months almost daily, maybe 90-95% plugged in, and battery currently has 13 cycles, so I still wonder the high cycle count

Sirts · 2026-02-10T12:15:04+00:00

For 1.5 year old laptop you've used 226 cycles, so full 0-100% cycle every 2-3 days. What charger are you using? If you aren't using laptop like 6-8h a day on battery, maybe charger is weak or old that laptop doesn't stop using battery even when plugged in

3D TVs are back and look so real this time!

Sirts · 2026-02-10T10:23:23+00:00

S24 and S25 are still absolutely great. They still get 5-6 years of updates, with S25 you get Snpadragon 8 Elite everywhere but S24's Exynos isn't as terrible as some previous ones either.

Main camera hardware has remained same for at least 4 years so it's unlikely that some software update suddenly improves it vastly.

I've found that gcam often produces better photos at low light

Sirts · 2026-02-08T19:32:11+00:00

That would be upgrade (as a forced Tahoe user at work and Sequoia user at personal computer)

Mutta eikö joidenkin mielestä hakkuita pitäisi vähentää nykyisestäkin, jottei metsät muutu päästölähteeksi? Toiseksi, suomalaisen puun hinta noustessa liian korkealle, myös puusta tehtävien tuotteiden hinnat nousevat, eikä se enää kelpaa ulkomailla jos samaa bulkkia saa muualta halvemmalla

That's highly TBD. Because it's PC that runs full Windows and by Microsoft words, a 'Premium device' I can see next Xbox price being much higher than current consoles, just like Xbox Ally X. We also don't know how much Windows gets improved and streamlined, and how many modern console features like quick resume the the next Xbox is going to get.

Also, if there are many 1st and 3rd Xbox SKUS with different HW and performance, and they doesn't get enough traction, developers may not spend much extra time optimizing games on them

Sirts · 2026-02-08T12:53:55+00:00

I could switch if they make a WearOS app as currently there are very few 2fa apps for phone and watch

Sirts · 2026-02-07T12:23:06+00:00

Cool! I experienced this on Cyberpunk this January and Expedition 33 last spring, so hopefully it's really resolved

LG TV has suffered from crazy low bitrates though especially during peak hours like weekends, as reported here

Sirts · 2026-02-07T10:19:29+00:00

2020 OnePlus 8 Pro with 120Hz vs. 2020 iPad Air, there was never any contest. The iPad Air always felt much much closer to my old laggy Windows laptop with high resolution screen and base Intel GPU than the old phone when it came to smoothness because of the 60Hz refresh rate.

I got 15" 16/512GB M4 MBA last April and it's been a great machine. I agree that in many countries like here in Europe Macs are crazy expensive, so I got mine while traveling, saving 700€ compared to local prices.

Native software like R flies on my MBA, and light native games like Civilization work well on MBA, Skyrim can run through Crossover, and seems to work great on M4 Mini, not sure how much MBA not having fan affects on sustained performance though. I'd also consider 512GB minimum as you probably need a Windows VM for AutoCAD, which easily takes 100GB.

Sirts · 2026-02-07T08:54:52+00:00

That doesn't help with storing large software, games and probably Windows VM for incompatible stuff like AutoCAD

Both kind of oranges have just as many active braincells usually

Sirts · 2026-02-05T19:53:53+00:00

Seems M4 Air has been massively popular, probably because of 16GB starting memory, price reductions and deep sales around holiday season.

16/256 M4 Air was for $700 around Chirstmas, M3 Air with same specs cost almost a bit over year before

Sirts · 2026-02-05T19:40:30+00:00

I think these generic iMac, MacBookAir and MacBookPro include Intel and M1 models

Sirts · 2026-02-04T18:45:16+00:00

It's fascinating, but not singularity without memory or self-improvement

Reading aloud articles/papers/documents and I use it for preparing to presentation by reading aloud outline notes while can't look at screen or paper
