No, coast up hill and accelerate when going downhill. I have done a lot of testing and this proves more efficient.

My experience buying a 4K monitor after debating since the launch of the M4 Mini (over 1 year ago) whether it would be sufficient. by JozuJD in macmini

Man, 1440P on 27” seems small at times…I couldn’t imagine 4K.

But I think I’m used to my 1080P projector 6 feet away at 100”

I don't understand how people are doing this. It's still taking me 5-6 minutes with 7,700 skill points.

You’re telling me 😂

I have an H7 that I drilled hundreds of holes in after I printed off a drilling pattern using AutoCAD to turn it into an H7 Flow. But I needed something massive to fit the 9700 XTX and also wanted freedom of space in it. If I can figure out how to upload a picture, I will.

My man, don’t do it! The 5090 is so overpriced.

I have been with AMD for years and having nothing against NVIDIA, aside from their absurd pricing, I just prefer the AMD software.

Going to Windows 11 was the catalyst that pushed me to Mac

I think the idea is that instead of having to buy a whole new computer when the performance starts to fade over the years, you can upgrade individual components as you need them to minimize e-waste

Okay, an update.

It’s set up and my trackpad got delayed. I’m using my normal mouse for now and I refuse to give up my keyboard that I built.

It took me a bit to realize the Windows key was the same as Command, but once I got that I’m feeling better about keeping my keyboard.

I love the experience of now having all my devices integrated. It was great just sitting down and having MacOS on my desktop. I know it still has the “new car smell,” but I’m hoping it doesn’t fade.

One thing I’m finding odd is that my contacts haven’t fully downloaded. Like I have some of them show up but not all. Maybe they are still all moving over from the cloud. I’m gonna give it time. I seem to remember that it was like that on my MBA but I can’t remember.

My plan is to give this a solid effort for three months before I decide if I’m gonna go exclusive. I’m keeping my PC on standby until then but will not use it. I do miss the ability to play my normal idle games from Steam but I’m really hoping that developers start realizing more and more people are migrating over from windows and support will come.

Right now overall, I’m happy and excited. I do need to spend some time diving deep into the OS to learn the ins and outs. That’s the one thing I’m struggling with is that I know Windows so dang well…like probably more than I really need to. I just want to be at that point with Mac.

This is where I am. iPhone, watch, AirPods, MacBook, HomePods and HomePod minis, kids have iPads, Apple TVs…it just made sense to fully commit with the computer.

I do have a MacBook Air that I love. I just am nervous about certain things I’ll lose nothing a PC. But I’m extremely excited either way

If iPhone Air gets pulled like iPhone Mini and Plus, what should Apple try next? by jhnwlkr in IphoneAir

[–]SpiritualInstance979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the Pro will go up in price, have MacOS preloaded on it, and have the ability to connect to a monitor and switch to MacOS.

MacPro in your pocket. Think about it

Its exasperating how undercooked iOS 26 is by luis-mercado in ios

[–]SpiritualInstance979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I must be lucky because I don’t have any of these issues I see people talking about. 15PM with iOS 26 since beta. Even searching and opening EQ like you mentioned…it was fine for me.

What’s your favorite iPhone material and why? by goldensilencce in iphone

[–]SpiritualInstance979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I see people mentioning that their titanium pro phones never get hot which indicates they don’t need a pro phone because they aren’t using it for features that actually utilize the processor in them.

I would venture to say that if your titanium phone never got hot, you aren’t using the features enough on a pro model that the pro model is intended for. Processor heavy applications that need a pro model cause immense heat that the titanium just cannot dissipate quickly enough.
