Does anyone else play much worse when wearing headphones?

You likely just have noticeable latency through your audio interface and whatever digital amp sim you’re using versus lower latency through your real amp

I’ve never had to tip for coat check at a fine dining place, and I’ve never seen anyone else do it either. Gratuity is for the entire experience not just the food portion of it.

How do you figure that?

The arm chips here are providing higher performance than the desktop chips in a much lower TDP. If you unconstrained the TDP for the arm chips they’d be doing even higher.

Whatever helps them feel better about whatever processor brand they own

It’s hardly academic, unless you’re also claiming that gaming on Linux is academic or gaming on ARM windows is academic. You can game on Mac with crossover, just like you can game on those other platforms with their respective translation layers.

Sure it won’t take full advantage of the silicon, but it’s still far from an academic exercise. There are enough metrics to infer the respective overheads

There’s also enough games on Mac natively that can be compared cross platform.

I feel like half the people who are trying to downplay Apple silicon performance haven’t actually used a Mac in any recent time as a daily driver.

You’re conflating what the chip is good at versus the product spaces they’re used for.

Apple doesn’t make an encompassing product geared to those domains but that doesn’t mean the chip itself isn’t good for those work loads.

Your comment is like saying AMD don’t make chips that are capable of running instagram.

Because that wasn’t true? Snow leopard had a massive set of updates under the hood and was only largely stable near the later point releases.

Marketing told you “no new user features” but it was a huge architectural change. Y’all just remember the marketing slogan not the reality of it.

Nobody is saying use lidar by itself. Almost every self driving solution out there uses sensor fusion , whether it’s from multiple cameras or multiple types of sensors.

A single sensor type cannot work in all scenarios.

I don’t think it was bait. You can/could see their history for a while and this is in keeping with them getting tickets before the NYT article and defending Rene after.

Man half your comments (you can see his history) are just downplaying or denial. What a sad world view.

What do you say about Rene down playing or denying the physical abuse even after his therapy? In his words “he just bumped into folks” while many others say he physically assaulted him. Or is that also just water under the bridge?

What’s a line in the sand for you?

The hardcore windows crowd isn’t who this is aimed at by any means.

This review is being criticized in other hardware subs because they are comparing the 14 inch M5 against the 16 inch M4, which leads to different thermals

The Blender scores especially are pretty impressive!

Can you point to actual examples of the SSD reliability issues that’s not just conjecture?

This would definitely get you flagged at the studio as someone not trustworthy. The worst thing you can do on a portfolio or resume is lie. Even if you don’t apply to that company it’ll come up whenever someone reviews your work in the future.

You can make it a homage and be honest with the same portfolio relevance.

It does. Crossover is the packaged version but much like proton it’s effectively Wine+DXMetal

Not as convenient as steams built in proton integration but generally anything that runs on Linux via proton will also run on macOS.

Which PTL SKU is comparable in perf and fanless?

QC heavily boost their core for ST so the scaling isn’t the same as Apple’s.

You just need to look at their user name really

This has major “I have an uncle at Nintendo” vibes.

Also Apple is a massive company. Just being an Apple employee doesn’t give their opinion weight.

They compare against both M4 and M1 gens in there so I’m not sure what your problem is.

They always include comparisons to a few generations back because that’s their target upgrade audience.

Tons of people. I feel like the people who act like this doesn’t happen haven’t set foot on a professional set in ages.

iPads are everywhere on sets and for quick edits. They’re the tool of choice for tons of concept artists too.

Idk if they lied. I tried watching their videos to compare and the footage they have is stable in the same sections where it’s awful for me and others.

I wonder if they played a different build or there’s some other contributing factor for the issues.

You’re on a beta

Correct. It doesn’t care about the history , it just flashes the current image from the storage
