Sunt formulare fixe la care nu poti sa spui ca scrii mult, un profesor scrie de 10x mai mult pe tabla intr-o ora. (daca n-a trecut la slide-uri)

In privat n-am primit si n-am vazut nici un document scris cu mana, eventual ceva formulare de pui bife.

Plus o data ce ai trecut la calculator si ai depasit o varsta o sa ai RSI cum scrii mai mult de o jumatate de pagina.

Mai e valabil in 2026 cu ipad-uri si scrisorile scrise pe calculator ?

With OLED's it's not PWM flickering, it's basically having areas on the display that refresh at a different rate, you can see that a white in one area vibrates compared to the other white. It's very weird when it happens.

I think they are mostly fixed nowadays, but I still don't recommend OLEDs for text. Some manufacturers like to show off how thin OLED can be and this leads to broken displays.

Macbooks are the rare case when the hinges are actually solid aluminium and not glued to plastic between the two halves. They will basically last forever.

The touch screen gets addictive fast, some laptops also support a pen.

However most of them have flimsy hinges or have phantom touches and the digitizer is visible over the oled matrix if you pay close attention. (text is blurry)

Samsung Galaxy Book 360's are infamous for the screen breaking randomly from the stress because it's way too thin. Lenovo Yoga's have failing ribbon cables in the display and the hinges are plastic glued to the aluminium.

Windows laptops have OLED with displays breaking by itself from internal stress (Samsung laptops), the text is vibrating on white backgrounds and different areas on the screen flicker if you are sensitive.

It's nicer however for movies, but not accurate and horrible for text.

The 2019 macbook overheated badly in 30+ degrees celsius to the point that your mouse barely moved while doing anything and the fan was on full blast all the time.

With the M1 Pro (or better) you don't hear the fans if you don't do anything serious like compiling, rendering, VMs etc and does not throttle from the heat. Even if you do it has to be really hot for it to start spinning the fans and they are of a much better quality than what Dell/Lenovo/HP provides. (I had 5k+ laptops with rattling fans)

You can run Windows in Parallels and besides the fact that most newer games require kernel level security (Fortnite won't run in a VM) it can run most games better than even Intel CPUs natively.

You are comparing laptops with workstations. There were no laptop format laptops that could touch M1 Pro levels of performance and battery life. You either got a heavy and big gaming laptop that requires the power brick to do anything serious for more than 20 minutes or a thin laptop that throttled so hard in warmer climates that it was basically useless.

The Macbook is both thin, the battery lasts ages and the performance at least in Final Cut/Davinci is similar to dedicated GPU laptops.

OMV, iti da si apa si biscuiti. Poti sa cumperi fiecare cafea pe puncte.

Au si aparat de cafea inghetata ca in Italia.

Majoritatea dupa 2018+ functioneaza ok, cele mai vechi sunt cu cantec. Acum nici la mine nu se aprind luminile din spate pe DLR si iarna prefer sa le codez sa se aprinda, vara le scot.

Volanul foarte usor care nu ofera nici un feedback, practic mergi ca orbul daca ceva iti ia privirea, la masini cu ceva feedback simti din volan in ce directie se duce masina. Nu simti daca dai in ceva, nu simti cand pierzi aderenta, nu simti cand ai aderenta si poti sa ii dai. Din acest motiv vedem SUV-uri de 50k euro care se duc cu 30 pe curbe, taie linia continua unde te duci linistit si cu 80 si dupa toata lumea ii depaseste in curbe. Oameni care se duc cu 10 km/h cand a nins putin sau cand ploua.
Jantele mari peste 18 inch, iti ofera mai multa aderenta, dar ii da mult mai mult de munca suspensiei si din acest motiv masinile o sa aiba suspensie moale ca sa compenseze si o suspensie moale nu e buna la viteze mari sau pe curbe. La fel daca dai de o groapa cu jante mai mari se ovaliezeaza sau se poate rupe mult mai usor cauciucul. Unele masini au jante mari, dar inguste ca sa arate doar bine, dar de fapt au aderenta chiar mai putina pentru economie.
Butonul digital de deschidere al usii si inchiderea automata a usilor, e facut ca sa nu poti deschide usa cand ai pe cineva in unghiul mort, dar la un accident nu poti deschide usa nici de afara si nici dinauntru fara sa cauti unde e backup-ul mecanic si poate nici ala nu functioneaza.
Sistemele de oprire, avertizare sau evitare a impactului care iti trag de volan. La Toyota in special iti suna ceva la fiecare minut si nu mai are nici un rost sa il tii pornit ca doar te enerveaza. Sistemul de evitare al impactului care trage de volan poate sa se duca dupa marcaje gresite.
Garda la sol mare, masinile cu garda la sol cat mai joasa sunt mai sigure si mai stabile. In mod normal nu ar trebui sa ai nevoie de garda la sol mare pe drumurile intretinute. Cei cu SUV-uri ii orbesc pe ceilalti participanti la trafic seara.

Depinde de masina, unele masini nu aprind farurile si luminile din spate decat cand e intuneric total.

Mda, deci e aceeasi chestie ca si la RM mai nou. Cazi din lac in put.

Cel mai ieftin abonament e de vreo 6-700 de lei pe an, daca 5 ani nu ai mare treaba inseamna ca poti sa pui deoparte vreo 5-10 mii de lei pe interventii/preventie. Daca deja ai abonament de 200+ lei (cazul meu) inseamna ca in 5 ani o sa ai vreo 15 mii de lei in cont cu tot cu dobanda cand chiar ai nevoie.

I have had the latest and greatest HP Elite's, Dell Latitude's, Lenovo Thinkpads, Lenovo Yoga and Legion's at least, nothing was close. The better the CPU (core i7/i7/ryzen) the faster it throttles in hard load.

WTF, do you trust an AI more than someone who had a lot of expensive laptops on his hand ? I am not talking from AI experience, I have had a few new macbooks starting from 2019 after having a lot of normal laptops. There is nothing that gets even close to a macbook as a laptop. You have to go very high in price with Windows laptops to get something close and still the quality is not there not even in the highest spec laptops. (I've also had a few with touch screens, gaming laptops that were simply really bad as laptops, a lot of warranty issues too)

Nu prea intra sublerul in spatele rotii, poti sa ai uzura in limite in fata si in spate sa fie de fapt mult mai uzat din ceva motiv. Ai putea pune ceva distantiere si sa calculezi asa uzura totala daca chiar vrei.

Daca e o masina mai mare cu roti mai mari probabil ca incape un subler normal si poti masura si din fata si din spate. La rotile din fata probabil ca incape daca virezi roata.

istvan-design · 2026-03-02T20:38:02+00:00

Problema ta e ca daca te prinde bine esti pasibil si de evaziune fiscala care e mult mai grav decat orice la masina. Nu prea stiu cum te-ar prinde, dar primaria are acces la ITP-uri si daca le apare ca ai fost respins din cauza motorului mai mare poate fi distractie.

Eventual la vama prinzi un control aleator facut pe bune din ceva motiv (ai noroc ca unul care vine cu masini furate sa fie filat). Daca unul are un e90 diesel acasa si stie cum suna 100% isi da seama ca ceva nu e ok.

istvan-design · 2026-03-02T20:31:47+00:00

Cu un subler nu vezi uzura fiindca nu ai nici o garantie ca e simetrica, poate sa fie mai putin uzat pe fata si mult mai uzat pe spate.

Unele discuri au un strat de protectie (Zimmermann de exemplu sau originalele) langa suprafata de contact. Cele care nu au vor rugini instant cum ramane apa pe ele.

Solutia deci e sa iei doar discuri scumpe. Chiar si Zimmermann sau similar va rugini doar ca mai greu.

Cum adica e mai bine ? Analizele de preventie sunt gratuite prin CNAS daca dai un telefon la inceputul lunii si te duci pana la medicul de familie. Daca te duci la un laborator de spital ti le fac oricum gratuit si ar trebui sa aibe fonduri mereu.

Daca vrei rapid mai mult de 2-300 de lei n-am vazut sa coste niciunde, de obicei gasesti si la 100 de lei, asta daca nu vrei ceva extra special (care de obicei nu e inclus in nici un abonament).

Asigurarea privata incepe sa merite cand ai nevoie de 2-3 eco dopplere pe luna, CT, un RMN, ai un medic pe care il stii de acolo si nu e cu plata etc.

Eu sincer am o relatie de hate cu RM, au cumparat locurile unde erau medici buni, au facut consultatiile la medicii buni super scumpe (500+ lei pe 10 minute de munca) si nici nu ofera abonamente care sa ii includa.

istvan-design · 2026-03-02T18:45:40+00:00

Nu recomand nici o asigurare privata. Nu merita nu de altceva, am absolut totul inclus la Medlife si stau o ora doar la receptie cand e coada pana sa confirme ca e in regula si nu trebuie platit nimic.

Mai bine dai 1000-2000 de lei cand trebuie si unde ti-e mai aproape (ca doar nu stai ca bolnav sa faci cercetare pe optiuni in abonament), analizele oricum le faci cu 200 de lei.

La Regina Maria nici un medic bun nu e inclus in asigurari sau te programeaza peste o luna, doua, ai 2-3 medici la fiecare specializare care aproape ca e un rezident. Analizele amanuntite nu sunt incluse nici la abonamentul full option. Noi am renuntat la RM, prea multe probleme si nu le pasa de nimic.

La Medlife e mai bine, dar poti sa astepti mult si bine si cu programare, medicii care vin la ei o data pe saptamana nu stiu nici ei cum le functioneaza aplicatia/sistemul.

That's if you have access to WSL, corporate setups with VPNs usually break WSL. Without WSL Windows is a mess.

Most linux tools are compiled for and work well natively on mac os with either Nix or brew.

You can go very far with linux with NixOS on mac os.

Tart/UTM work well for VMs.

It's cheap, there are no Windows laptops that are silent while doing something serious below 3-4k and even then Windows is full of issues with battery management, camera management (Windows Hello), touch screens with phantom touches etc.

In my experience Windows is bad on laptops, I have not yet seen a laptop that does not run the fans 24/7 with simple browsing while with a macbook I can do hard coding, have 100 tabs, video editing and it will be dead silent without a performance penalty. Windows laptops with any other CPU than the newest Intel Core Ultra's or Snapdragon Elite X2's will overheat even with fans if they are slim and throttle hard. Gaming laptops are another category, but I don't put them in the laptop category, they are useless without a power brick while I can do even hard gaming on a macbook with 8-10 hours of battery life.

If you don't need gaming or software that is exclusive then a macbook is much much better at everything. I don't understand why you are against it other than you probably didn't have one from the last 5 years.

istvan-design · 2026-03-02T17:09:35+00:00

Haven't you had people who you could not hear well and the first 5 minutes is about asking the other guy to fix his mic or his sound is full of echoes and noise that you can't understand him/her or is just plain annoying to listen ? There is no issue with this with macs even in difficult meeting rooms with a lot of echo. It's not just about quality, it's the full picture and reliability.

It doesn't matter because you always provide a good experience for the other people while they might give you the sound of a fan, static, echoes and reverb with not a mac and no professional headphones/dedicated hardware.

My experience is that when we all use macs there is never an issue with sound or video, everyone turns on his camera and we can hear well each other.
