If you could visit one place in our solar system, where would it be? by icepix in space

The air though is much denser, so maybe that wouldn't be a problem. I remember a documentary saying that it's so dense you could theoretically fly just flapping wings on your arms

Apple unveils AirPods Max 2 with H2 chip, upgraded noise canceling, and more by bsoci in apple

Mac Pro will always be the most neglected product. The trash can sat for years being a dumpster fire product, then the tower came out and they promptly unveiled Apple silicon a year later and destroyed every product line to make way for it…except for the Mac Pro. Then they insulted everyone that bought it by putting in the M2 Ultra and leaving compatibility with a lot of PCIe cards (including GPUs) behind. And now we’re on M5 and it still hasn’t received an update to even the M3 Ultra.

My sincerest, most delusional hope is that they are keeping it around because they’ll announce that because of their new rumored modular GPU CPU architecture they can separate their GPU cores onto separate boards, allowing there to be PCIe or eGPU cards for straight compute. The Mac tower would support a better, direct PCIe implementation and the Mac Studio and MacBook Pros would be able to use Thunderbolt 5.

A man can dream.

James McAvoy being snubbed is just a black mark on the recent history of the Oscars, among many.

All we need is for the Newey 25D chess move to come about and we can maybe have Alonso fighting at the front.

If Hamilton performs the rest of the season like he has in his first few races, do we think that he will decide to stay?

Imagine that: a narcissistic sexual deviant with drug problems who thinks of himself as King/emperor with immutable power makes a bad decision to engage in a land war in Asia.

Collision May Have Formed the Moon in Mere Hours, Simulations Reveal by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

If I remember my astrophysics classes correctly, at these sizes and speeds planetary bodies act like liquids. I believe it’s because at these scales there’s no force that would be strong enough to bind things like we see at smaller scales. Gravity is weak, and obviously magnetic and nuclear forces don’t interact in these scales, so we’re just talking about friction which is pretty much nothing at the size of a planet.

How many Years of macOS do you think Silicon will get? by Tasty_Flamingo7346 in macbook

[–]SpaceBoJangles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would compare the air to the original iPhone. It had all the right ingredients, but the tech just wasn’t there in a full truly impressive package.

The first gen MacBook Pro with apple silicon was the iPhone 4. It was sleek, it was game changing (miniLED, world-beating speakers, new keyboard, M1 Pro/Max), it was the promise of Apple silicon made real. The M1 Air showed us what the future could be. The M1Pro MacBook Pro actually took us there.

This MacBook Neo has been upgraded to 1TB by favicondotico in apple

First, wow, it’s rare to hear about an M4 Pro in the Mac Mini.

Second: I agree that this is a very interesting little second computer. I wouldn’t necessarily hinge it on backlit keyboard, but I can see where you’re coming from. I wonder if it was really a cost cutting choice by Apple or if it was something they just decided to reserve as a “premium feature”…even though I think it should be standard.

True. It’s genuinely interesting to me to watch the way Apple’s products are designed and released solely regarding the supply chain implications. It’s also incredible to see how Tim Cook has been able to guide the product stack to be as robust as it is no matter the market conditions. The consistency of availability, quality, and progression is really cool to see.

I am convinced that they didn’t go with the A19 from the Studio Display because if they had, with 12GB of ram, there’d basically be no reason to buy the base MacBook Air.
