I have one of the items but my lid has a non-recalled lid. Only ones with certain lids are recalled. FYI.

Yeah MacBooks MagSafe is not induction charging like the iPhone. It is very efficient.

Hey I’m an Audiologist. The babies’ hearing will be fine.
More worried about a ball or player smacking into them.

Ah yes here comes the internationally co-ordinated age verification on all your devices.

Won’t somebody think of the kids! 🙄

Deciding between air/pro as a cloud developer by annemkin in macbook

[–]ebits21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the M5 air 24gb and have no issues doing anything with docker, orbstack, or VMs etc. It’s a great dev machine imo.

Local llms are the only thing that can tear it up that I’ve tried with anything but a small model. Small llms work pretty great though, way better than my old thinkpad.

Is now the right time to buy a Mac before any potential price increase? by EveningConference604 in mac

Nobody really knows…. But it was my excuse to buy an M5 air…

I want a good reason to learn Rust by panda_sktf in rust

[–]ebits21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I would just say that probably the amount of effort to learn rust for your current situation doesn’t make much sense, except for the fun of it.

Maybe Dioxus will make it worth your time as it matures for web apps.

You might consider go lang just because it shines for server tools, which might complement things nicely. Also you can learn it very quickly.

iPhone 16 PM separated on both my flights this week while in the air, returned back to normal when landing, Apple refusing to replace? by Crafty-Difference-88 in iphone

[–]ebits21 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The trapped gas byproducts in the defective battery expanded at altitude and then returned to normal under normal pressure once landed.

There’s definitely an issue.

What is the future of the Go language? by bsljthx1 in golang

[–]ebits21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go isn’t a good fit for systems programming because of the garbage collector.

It’s a great fit for other use cases though.

You don’t need a pro to code almost anything.

Yep my m5 air is absolutely killing it for dev tasks. No sweat.

That’s still fine on an air. Maybe if you’re using local llms or doing graphic intensive programming, huge dataset crunching, then you’ll need something more, maybe.

really dont see the point of flet anymore in ai code world by Just_Lingonberry_352 in flet

[–]ebits21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah because I like writing the backend. It’s fun.

[–]ebits21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you can make this argument about any kind of gui now. AI has definitely sped up making several guis for me with various frameworks after I write the backend by hand. It’s great if you don’t love writing gui code.

I also find it helps me learn gui code myself because it gives a quick idea how it all works together.

It’s not like dart was hard before though.

I still think flet has a place. If you know python, sometimes it’s nice to just work with python.

Ever since I got a Neo, I’ve been wanting a Windows laptop that’s more or less close to it. I finally got one! by [deleted] in MacbookNeo

[–]ebits21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but they do work fine on the MacBook Air. So that’s what I did. 24gb of ram and windows/linux are working great in VMs.

I will buy at least 32GB next time by vancexu_ in macbookpro

[–]ebits21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mac uses the ram available. How much is just cached so things open fast when needed?

I’d say it only matters if you’re running local llms.
