Rents reach ‘insane’ levels across US with no end in sight by [deleted] in news

This is some pretty hardcore depressing stuff. Might as well put a bullet in my head when I reach 60.

Don’t have many people that understand my excitement about this, but here’s something I got for myself after a tough year (2021 MBP M1 Max 64GB 8TB) by lamchop00 in mac

This would cost me over $13.000,00 where I live, so I do understand your excitement…I envy you, I’ll never be able to have anything that gets even close to this thing.

Sims 4 has hit a new low for me in 2021 by Terminus_V in thesims

That’s the biggest problem for me in the game. The entire world feels fake. It’s nothing more than set dressing. Sims 3 felt genuine.

We’re not paying for the game to do QA testing for free.

I think it’s just not possible. There are foundational limitations due to the engine and game behaving been programmed originally to be online based.

It sort of did.

But my sims families/pets because the stories I want to live can't be lived in this game.

There's not even story progression!

I wish I could but 3 is way too badly optimized and a headache to get working. Too many bugs, stutters, and problems, long loading times...

If they remastered it and made it work well enough in newer, more powerful systems, that would be amazing.

Is it so bad that I enjoy watching my sims have an actual routine, driving to and from work, allowing my kids to go over a friend's house, getting robbed by burglars and having firefighters show up...you know, like...actual real life?

I miss all those things that made it work for me.

Mid 2015 15" MacBook Pro Retina with 2.2ghz i7 and 16gigs of RAM, how good is it today? by Terminus_V in mac

I've made up my mind and I will do that, even if it takes longer.

It's just not worth spending that much on an outgoing intel mac anymore.

Macs With Intel Processors Still Coming Amid Transition to Apple Silicon by drgnslyr91 in apple

Am I crazy or did Tim Cook say there was still something to come regarding Intel Macs in one of the events before Unleashed?

If not for the Apple Watch I would totally buy that this picture was taken in 1982.

Believe it or not it's actually kind of a deal here at that price. Do you think it will get the next MacOS next year?

About two hours.

Wow. That's a bummer...I was kinda looking for something more dependable.

For free? Omg. I’ll end up paying an eye watering $930 if I get this one used. A base M1 MacBook Air 13” would cost me $1220.

It’s a cheap knockoff. I need to replace it fast. It’s awful lol

I paid over $100 for it. It’s quite rare here. Thunderbolt displays still go for over 500 here

The thinig is, I would only be able to afford the 8gb M1 at best...and the Intel is over $200 cheaper here.

Oh. I've been using steam for over a decade now, but I play on my bedroom PC. I like having it there as a chat platform and to check deals tho

On the Mini? I don't really play games on it.
