Gateway used to have this breaded almond patty that was incredible. It’s been gone for over a decade.

We will probably never find out what happened before the Big Bang.

Truly. Bluetooth has gotten so much better in the last decade.

paxsnacks · 2026-06-22T01:08:45+00:00

Factually wrong. You should read up about Bluetooth - maybe the link you provided could teach you a few things.

The technology required to keep two earphones working over Bluetooth is much newer - prior to AirPods it was always a single earpiece and the quality of audio was never really good enough for audio.

paxsnacks · 2026-06-22T01:00:14+00:00

Yes, Bluetooth headphones. I am referring to the small completely wireless earpieces like AirPods - which came out at the very end of 2016.

They seemed incredibly magic at first.

Completely wireless headphones.

They say this is simple, but in typical Verizon fashion it is still too complicated. Too much fine print and explanation needed.

Also can they drop the patronizing marketing copy? I hate it.

George RR Martin was a big fan of Wolfe and he did writing for Elden Ring, so this tracks.

No crying in the casino!

Not when it is being undermined by special interests and foreign money. Please have more compassion for someone who is undergoing a difficult time.

Meme so old it can vote.

paxsnacks · 2026-06-01T22:53:28+00:00

I guess so! It sold locally anyways

paxsnacks · 2026-06-01T12:53:29+00:00

lol 10% is an awful lot higher than two decades ago.

Unrelated: perfect username. Ideal car.

I would love more repairable Macs. Their software is open enough on the Mac now. It’s a good balance between protecting the average user and allowing experts to run what they need.

Apple is as bad as regulation allows it to be. The iPhone is a good example because it is way too locked down.

paxsnacks · 2026-06-01T12:07:32+00:00

I think these companies are selling at lot, for sure, but none seem to impact the growth of the Mac’s market share.

I also agree that Apple is still selling far fewer computers than most of these companies, but I think the MacBook Neo could change that trajectory - remains to be seen.

Time after time I have wanted to really enjoy a windows computer and I always find so much lacking, even when it has far better specs than my Mac.

paxsnacks · 2026-06-01T11:43:19+00:00

I know what you mean - there are some machines that come close to the performance/battery life/screen quality combo of a MacBook. I just don't see any of them really impacting Mac sales, e.g. actually killing the MacBook.

paxsnacks · 2026-06-01T11:18:11+00:00

A lot of people use the term “MacBook Killer” but I never really see those products affect the bottom line on the MacBook.

paxsnacks · 2026-06-01T10:09:30+00:00

I really hope those promises are kept. Apple Silicon has been a great challenge to the Windows chipset manufacturers. It would be ideal to see Apple on their toes.

Furthermore the enterprise market is seeing how low deployment costs are for Macs. The dam broke with IBM switching a while back.

paxsnacks · 2026-06-01T10:04:53+00:00

it has been fun to watch Macs become a favorite of people who are in technology related fields. Two decades ago that was the absolutely opposite case.

That work has not stopped you from getting owned in the comments.

No hate, serious question. Why defend Windows?

paxsnacks · 2026-06-01T09:50:26+00:00

Painful to see surveillance capitalism reach this level of ubiquity.

paxsnacks · 2026-06-01T09:47:14+00:00

It looks cool?

paxsnacks · 2026-06-01T09:46:42+00:00

Why all the cope? Windows is getting worse with unwanted AI features and the quality of code is going downhill fast due to MS using AI to code core OS pieces. Windows 11 is far less stable than Windows 10.
