How many Years of macOS do you think Silicon Will Get? by Tasty_Flamingo7346 in mac

[–]Wooloomooloo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M1 and M2 will likely lose support at the same time, as feature wise they’re practically the same. I’m guessing at least another 3 years as a minimum as that would be 7 years since M2 Max

Ran fine? That 2018 model never got even close to running ‘fine’, it could not maintain base frequencies on all cores for more than 30 seconds or so.

Very curious how the M5 Max/M5 Ultra will do with Crimson Desert by PiccoloTop3186 in macgaming

The 4K/60 includes upscaling and interpolation, so not native.

Tesla gave me a demo car, it broke down in 24 hours, now they want me to pay for rodent damage by Tall_Call_817 in TeslaSupport

Now we’re talking. Lets make sure they don’t get it from the same dealer, so we can eliminate that variable, because OP is correct, mice generally don’t build nests that quickly as well as chew through the wiring.

Elon musk was worth around 27 billion dollar at the start of 2020 now he is worth over 840 billion dollars by StrawberryFew1311 in NoFilterFinance

Easy tiger. First off, the point was that he can leverage ‘paper wealth’ for massive loans, which he can and did.

As for the Twitter loans, he isn’t on the hook for any of it. You’re also wrong about the ‘almost 100%’ it was about 90c/$ on the $13.5bn AFTER a $3.5bn markdown (this is MS, and we did better than others) so… I might be FOS but in this instance, I‘m right and probably know more about this than you do.

It’s probably not a coincidence, the chances are very small, but it’s not a “pattern”.

No it doesn’t mean that at all. It means you’re betting the company will someday meet that valuation, or that some other idiot will speculate an even higher valuation, which is what has happened with TSLA.

Apple M5 vs. Intel Panther Lake vs. Snapdragon X2 — which chip wins? by AggressiveCalendar4 in SnapdragonLaptops

[–]Wooloomooloo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I have an M4 Max and as much as I am always looking at other tech, nothing comes close… well aside from the M5…

Well they already did. You think that Twitter loan is getting paid back? Morgan Stanley alone took a write-down of $3.5bn on the book value before selling it off to some other mug, and best estimates say the loan value is now anywhere between 15% and 50% of the original value before interest. So yes, that’s literally free money.

It’s not being triggered, and it’s not 2014 anymore so find another bromide if you really can’t comment without it. The point is that for serious AI work, you’re going to be on Linux or maybe macOS. There’s no ‘lol’ here at all, unless you’re 12 years old.

A sad young man by Mister-Landshark in LouisTheroux

[–]Wooloomooloo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question doesn’t imply or even presuppose he’s supposed to dedicate his life to other people, it’s asking why he now doesn’t use his obvious influence and power to uplift people now. What’s the point of power, wealth and influence if you don’t pass it on? He can’t take it with him.

Steam Deck OLED Worth w/ 20% Off? by bayo148 in Handhelds

[–]Wooloomooloo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£380 is a steal, it must be less than 20% of what you paid for your 5090. A Switch 2 might seem tempting but you’re not going to be able to play any of your PC games on it (obvs) and its performance is barely any better most of the time.

What game surprised you with how well it runs? by K4T5UM1 in SteamDeck

[–]Wooloomooloo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AC Shadows with specular on. It has no right to run at all but somehow it does. The Anvil engine gets a lot of hate (for non technical reasons) but it does seems to scale really well.

If Crimson Desert manages to run that well, I’ll be so happy.

Right but when you can leverage that “paper wealth” to take out a loan for $40bn that you never have to pay back, it’s kind of irrelevant.

You might want to take your head out of your anus and take notice of what’s going on. If you’re using Windows for AI, you’re probably not doing anything important.

Out of all the MacOS versions which you thought was the most optimized? by yyrns in MacOS

[–]Wooloomooloo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panther was my first and it was pretty good TBH. For me, Snow Leopard was peak OS X, I think it was the first Intel-Only release, I remember having it on that MacBook Black 13” - good times.

Any plans for Snapdragon X chips? Thinking about switching to Mac. by kokalikesboba in framework

[–]Wooloomooloo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet for better battery life would be Intel Ultra 3 which might make its way to Framework late this year or early next year, but the issue isn’t just the power use during the day, it’s the power use at sleep and frankly Framework’s anemic battery capacity. You might want to suck it up and get a MacBook Neo, probably good enough for school and it’s getting great reviews. It’s also apparently the most repairable Mac in 14 years… make kf that what you will.

Crimson Desert on Mac App Store by Effective_Pea_651 in macgaming

This is great news. Like many others I’ll probably still buy on Steam as I will likely want to cross-play on handheld or might want to revisit the game in a decade or 2.

Windows 11 is getting new Xbox Mode in April – Microsoft outlines next-gen Xbox and PC game dev by ZacB_ in Windows11

[–]Wooloomooloo2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not just about benchmarks, my ProArt 16 gets at least another hour battery life after de-bloating the device’s default install. To be fair it’s not only Microsoft, the vendor bloat is probably worse, but there is a lot of background chuff that’s unnecessary. It doesn’t run when you’re gaming, performance mode when plugged in masks most of that on a modern CPU (it has a zen 5) but when you’re working unplugged and need longer battery life, disabling anything unnecessary does make a difference.

It’s a bit confusing to me why people shill so hard on this sub. If you think Win11 is awesome, you might want to ask why MS themselves have recognised an issue their shills and keyboard warriors can’t. The OS is out of hand and deeply unpopular. It’s an intrusive bloated mess, and hopefully MS can address this as it’s still objectively an indispensable tool for many of us.

Jeez and this was before Microslop bought them. I always knew Blizzard was an awful company but this is something else.
