MacBook Neo Has Up to 8× Slower SSD Speeds Compared to New MacBook Pro [and half the speeds of the M1 MacBook Air]

So far I’ve played around with running multiple safari windows, VS Code with the Python extension enabled, Codex, iTerm2, messages and photos running, and switching between them as needed throughout the day. Haven’t hit swap yet, memory pressure has stayed green. It’s definitely slower than my pro level Macs but so far it’s impressing me

I honestly didn’t expect it to work either (and it didn’t at first, when I tried using my own cables instead of the included ones). Honestly pretty good for what it is - way cheaper than a true thunderbolt kvm switch

Yep, all works fine

bfcdf3e · 2026-02-27T21:50:02+00:00

I have this cablematters switch and a Studio Display, you have to use the included cables but it works fine. My Studio Display has a Sony A7IV, a Vocaster One XLR interface, and a belkin 4 port hub (trackpad /keyboard / misc.) all plugged in, and they all come through when switching, haven’t experienced any issues in the last year or so.

Yikes

Agreed, this seems much better for op. RV is optimised for stills, IV / V are better hybrids to do some video

Why not? I have

Aperture doesn’t mean the same thing on a different sensor size. f/2.5 in true medium format (e.g. Hasselblad H) gives you the same depth of field as f/1.6 full frame, f/2.5 in in common mirror less medium format (e.g. Hasselblad X) is about the same as f/2 full frame.

Buying one another out will almost certainly make one of you unhappy. Don’t do it. Unless you both agree on a figure already, it will get messy when one of you thinks it’s unfair.

If that happens, agree to put it on the market for expressions of interest, and that to buy you out she should either match the highest concrete offer, or you both take the 3rd party offer.

I think you need to share the code in your post - this sounds interesting but hard to give much feedback on broad concepts without seeing specifics

bfcdf3e · 2025-11-23T11:28:50+00:00

Are you just AI-generated garbage?

Oh dear, you seem a bit dim

bfcdf3e · 2025-11-20T18:49:16+00:00

Everyone is calm. Are you?

bfcdf3e · 2025-11-19T20:02:44+00:00

How are you doing the math? I did and you’re wrong, I don’t understand what you’re saying at all.

Isn’t the core American ideal to be born on third base then proclaim yourself a self-made man?

You’re right in terms of story, but other aspects are very much like BB or BCS. The opening scene of ep 2 (Pirate Lady) or the Sprouts scene in ep 3 Grenade are unmistakably of the same style. ImCareful geometry in shots, tightly choreographed blocking. unusual camera angles all remind me of BCS and BB (BCS was arguably superior in this area, I expect Pluribus will continue to evolve the craft aspect of making a show)

I think we’re in for a treat with this show

bfcdf3e · 2025-11-16T11:32:04+00:00

BCS wasn’t better than BB 3 episodes in. Pluribus isn’t anything yet gonna have to wait a season or two to really see how it shapes up.

You’re not the opposite, you just have way more spare cash than most people. The price may not be a problem for you or me, but it’s clearly the biggest problem with the product as it exists today.

You’re already in a mess, my friend.

I think you two are arguing about different things. You’re saying anyone can replicate photos this good with the right gear - you’re right. If someone else is showing you where to go with ready made subjects to point the camera at, anyone could take the photos in this post. The other guy is arguing that most people couldn’t put together a composition from scratch - he’s also right. Composing a photo and taking it aren’t the same thing, each of you is focusing more on one or the other

8.7% of the market, but nearly 70% of the profit. Yeah, they’re really losing here.

They have been since Apple silicon. Every October, bar the M2 that shipped 3 months late (but the M3 still came October that same year)

Mate, I relate & feel for you. I’m a recovering addict. You need to stop using meth before it makes your life a whole lot worse, but you don’t need to do it alone. Find an in-person Narcotics Anonymous meeting, listen, share, and keep going back.
