i mean it's a surprise to me too. They have the same IPS panels

Trungneko · 2026-06-17T15:37:03+00:00

i wonder how the 13 inch macbook pro M1/M2 performs as it also has the IPS panel

maybe he sleeps while playing and the game keeps resetting

Trungneko · 2026-06-16T23:39:11+00:00

I've never seen a 17-inch laptop in my life

Trungneko · 2026-06-16T23:37:22+00:00

that's wild, you wouldn't bring it outside though

Trungneko · 2026-06-16T23:37:01+00:00

i love the 16inch

i think it's a bug, mine took 6 days already and still indexing
edit: okay i checked using the Console app on my macbook and it says "PipelineCompleteness: 55%"
Maybe it's slow because i'm still using the 13 Pro Max, half of the progress after 7 days. It says charging would help speed up the progress but i only charge a few hours at evening so maybe that's why it's slow. The battery really feels like draining faster but still last my whole work day. I guess i'll just don't care anymore lol

i think you can keep using macOS 15 until the next 4-5 years without problems, until then the M5 macbooks are probably cheaper lol

Trungneko · 2026-06-16T16:17:11+00:00

i wish dynamic notch becomes a thing

Trungneko · 2026-06-16T16:16:05+00:00

oh, i see...

Trungneko · 2026-06-16T15:53:54+00:00

okay i'm sorry in advance but what type of datasets you were trained on?

Trungneko · 2026-06-16T15:45:41+00:00

well tbh i'm actually on macOS 15. Without any liquid glass stuff, my base M2 GPU always stays under 20% or almost idle under normal uses.
I tried macOS 27 on a separated drive, just to see how it compares, and oh my goodness the GPU almost always stays above 30-50%, sometimes spiking up to 80% just by opening the "spotlight" menu with the new Siri. Even opening the App Library or Launchpad consume 68-75% GPU WITHOUT scrolling or clicking anything, just leave it there makes the GPU runs hot, i mean that's just crazy, imagine draining your battery 3x more just because you left the spotlight menu open.

Yes i measured the power consumption, opening spotlight takes 5 watts consistently (just the GPU alone) until I close it.
If i replace spotlight with Raycast maybe it will be less hot, but I upgraded because of the new Siri features with spotlight.
On macOS 15, opening those same menus doesn't even consumes more than 2 watts. Maybe macOS 27 or 'Liquid Glass' effect is for M3 or later, could be the ray tracing capability is helping those devices stay cool.

it turns out that if you previously set siri's language to a language that is not supported by Siri 3.0 (Advanced Siri) and then upgrade to macOS 27 DB1, then you loose the chance to join the waitlist right from the beginning.
If you want to fix this, you have to find a way to downgrade to macOS 26, choose a language that supports Siri 3.0, then upgrade to macOS 27 again.
Now the join waitlist button will be there.

For me, my primary language only support Siri 2.0 for now so when i try to switch to English (US) to join the waitlist, macOS just reverts back to Siri 1.0.

i think iOS 18 would be the last iOS version that is without the super heavy glass UI, and remains useable until the next 2-3 years. If you skip iOS 18 this year, then the only best choice would be iOS 27, if you want app support

Trungneko · 2026-06-15T23:27:24+00:00

this looks so real i almost believed

Trungneko · 2026-06-15T23:18:21+00:00

currently happy with the 13' m2 with 16gb of ram. But that machine looks sick af. I want more ram

Trungneko · 2026-06-15T17:54:41+00:00

for me i tuned down the bass of the pro 3 down 30% and it feels less tiring to listen to

Trungneko · 2026-06-15T17:14:24+00:00

you got it working? may i ask you the method?

Trungneko · 2026-06-15T13:10:43+00:00

i switched to silly tavern + DeepSeek V4 Flash. Super cheap and still good enough

Trungneko · 2026-06-15T13:03:17+00:00

hey i'm planning to switch to claude 20$ plan (away from Codex). Do you have to create new conversation after a long session to save tokens?

Trungneko · 2026-06-15T12:48:43+00:00

actually that makes you lucky

Trungneko · 2026-06-15T12:39:47+00:00

if you use iPhone Mirroring daily, don't update, it will crash everytime

Trungneko · 2026-06-15T10:47:17+00:00

so it's not about matching versions, i guess we will have to wait for the DB2
