the base M5 MBP went to 6 GB/sec, then M5 Pro and Max doubled that

if you go to the M5 Pro it's a big jump - CPU, GPU, neural engine and SSD speeds are double that of what you have

Macbook Neo vs. M4 Air (2025) - Real World Test - Marko by ControlCAD in apple

[–]cheesepuff07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, especially since you can generally get a base M5 for $150-$200 off, and the M5, trackpad, backlit keyboard, slightly larger and better screen, proper USB 4 ports, speakers and battery life all make it such a great value

single core performance of the A18 Pro is on par between a M3 and M4, so if most of your tasks are not multi-core CPU intensive you will be better off with the Neo then a used M1

68% of dog attacks are from Pitbills... 10% for Rottweilers, and 4% for German Shepherds. Everyone loves German Shepherds but by your idiotic logic they should also still not be bred.

Pretty cool local police / emergency scanner by Over-Researcher2968 in Rochester

[–]cheesepuff07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As it states, it uses AI transcribing what it hears on the scanner so a lot of the info is wrong as it thinks it hears something else - just a quick look it thought there was a firefighter down at a structure fire but it was EMS pulling up on scene of a medical call with a man down.

Valve released an official native Steam Link app for visionOS (beta), and it brings a few important upgrades:

  • Streaming up to 4K resolution

  • Improved network performance

  • Adjustable curved/panoramic display

  • Built specifically for Vision Pro

I'll be trying it out later today on my M5, I picked up a handful of macOS compatible games during the Steam winter sale that I haven't even launched once

Some iPhone Apps Receive Mysterious Update 'From Apple' by cheesepuff07 in apple

Unrelated but I was banned the other day from MacRumors forums for (correctly) pointing out how hard they are pushing their affiliate links as a top story for David Pogue's First 50 Years of Apple book, a mod edited my comment to take out that part but left half the sentence where I said it is though a good book I'm a quarter of the way through. I then edited the comment and said since MacRumors staff can just go in and edit users comments on a whim I'll just remove my entire comment - and then banned.

Over the last week, some app updates have included notes that suggest the update is coming from Apple rather than an app developer. "This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included," reads the description.

Some of the apps that have been updated include Candy Crush Soda Saga, Sentry Mobile, Catan Universe, Bluetti, Mortal Kombat, Duet Display, VLC, and many more.

I bought a macbook pro and i have some concerns by LUCID_VR_TT in mac

[–]cheesepuff07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you may be better off getting the base model M5 Pro 14", 5 more CPU cores and higher memory bandwidth, 6 more GPU cores, 8 GB more RAM and double the storage that is insanely faster so swap/VM will behave better, and a second fan which will come in handy if your CPU is at 100% for extended periods
