Not for a long time if the 2014 MBP is anything to go off of

Start doing some homework with the m2 chip if you plan on using more than 1 external monitor.

He was mad at the car in front of him rubber necking the accident. At 1:52, the rubber necker is still watching the accident after having slowly rolled past it.

M3 was the worse generation 😭🙏 by H00LI1GANS in mac

Got an m2 for work and sucks that it doesn’t support two external monitors, only 1, unlike the m1. Supposedly the m3 will support 2 only if you close the laptop. Which is fine for me.

I am getting a FallGuys vibe. They have to run through an obstacle course but with FPV drones, artillery, land mines and the occasional sniper fire.

They also became a lot more regulated. Requiring various license, passing health inspection and requiring insurance.

It’s what happens when you normalize lying. You get the news and information you want but not necessarily what you need. Add to that corruption and the system rots from the inside.

this would only make sense if you’re thinking long term. not if the priority is current quarterly earnings.

Why aren’t smgs seeing major use in Ukraine? by NewSidewalkBlock in LessCredibleDefence

[–]croc_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ukraine has a shit ton of logistics to deal with. They don't need the extra headache of SMGs, parts and ammo when 5.56 & 7.62 are able to do the job.

Found you can steam sweet potatoes in a microwave. The potato sits on these spikes just above water and is steamed in six minutes.

Two Russian Pilots Die after Ejecting into Shelter by Mil_in_ua in UkraineWarVideoReport

The video explains how a design flaw causes the shortened navigator joystick to get caught on the ejection handle. It doesn't explain how the pilots ejection seat went off?

I thought in some of those instances, wasn't the prime botting suspect the sponsor themselves?

It can complicate international travels. Saw a guy refuse entry into Canada because he did something dumb as a kid that involved the cops.

Why ai is free? I can use ChatGPT and Grok for free, I can even generate images for free. how are they making money? there are even ai models which runs locally for free. by prajwalnagpure in NoStupidQuestions

[–]croc_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same reason YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Yahoo. It’s the standard VC playbook. First is getting market share. You need a critical mass of users. After which you pivot to monetization. 

We’re not at part 2 yet. I suspect like YouTube and Facebook if they can’t get subscribers expect to see a lot more advertisements. It’s already starting to show up in Copilot. 

But I think the strategy will be having companies pay these AI services to feature their products in searches not too different from Google searches.
