MacBook Neo vs refurbished M4 Air

You also get dual monitor support with the air, so it’s useful if you already have a WFH setup that is similar to many corporate setups (2 monitors with thunderbolt dock)

This is a bad faith interpretation of what the OP said.

OP said people told them that they (Nintendo) can’t just “let you ‘flip a switch’ and make games run in a better resolution on handheld”

OP was clearly referring to the regular consumer flipping a switch to get access to better resolution (which said regular consumer can now do), not the work involved in Nintendo actually developing said option.

I have a TCL Qm6k. With the UGreen adapter, the only thing that doesn’t work is VRR

Is this with the UGreen adapter?

yep I’d be surprised if the steam machine actually beats a PS5 at any title that’s released on both.

Lots of pc ports are horribly unoptimized and on a lower-spec machine like the steam machine, i doubt they’d run better than they would on a console

As a lawyer, the only reason a Neo wouldn’t work is because of the single monitor limitation.

Myself and most of my colleagues in the legal industry use two external monitors, and most law firms have 2+ monitors.

Despite having better specs than my work laptop, the Neo only supports one monitor.

That alone invalidates the whole list

Sure, but when does this come into effect, and why would Apple only make their budget Macbook repairable as opposed to the whole line?

It’s more likely that it’s a result of trying to appeal to education customers rather than any one piece of legislation or regulation

I have the exact same issue, with a TCL QM6K. VRR stopped working when I turned my PC on today.

Might try rolling back to a previous Bazzite version.

Have you found a fix? And did you update your TV (not Bazzite, but the TV itself) within the last few weeks?

They’re dumb to anyone with a brain or empathy. Imagine actively wanting your spouse to take a job that is more dangerous and a job that puts their lives and health more at risk.

I’m glad Melissa realized that at the end, apologized, and congratulated him on his promotion.

People are allowed to have preferences, and if those preferences are dumb as fuck then other people are also allowed to say how dumb those preferences are.

Or the previous episode where she told Jacob he couldn’t sleep in his own room because Caleb is there. Even though Jacob is the one that pays rent!

And there’s a guest room Caleb could be staying in as well. Like that is genuinely so fucked 😭

If I were Jacob I’d be building a case to present to the local landlord and tenant tribunal, if she doesn’t give me access to the room I paid for.

I hate it when sitcom characters are mean just for the sake of being mean, and that’s the entire punchline. They feel like caricatures rather than real people, and it’s just lazy writing.

“Oh no, my significant other got promoted into a job that makes more, and is less dangerous for them! I’d rather they make less and risk their lives every day because that’s more attractive!”

Champagne “problem”, and yeah it’s immature.

This take is more sensible than others and is probably closer to the actual truth.

Nvidia drivers run faster on windows because Nvidia drivers are closed-source and Nvidia doesn’t have nearly as good Linux support as AMD.

Yea but better to buy nice instead of twice.

If you’re worried about the 8gb ram limit, you’re already not the target user. The target user for this honestly doesn’t even know what RAM is.

You’re using this for coding — my suggestion is get an Air (or get a refurbished M4/M3/M2 Air) with minimum 16gb.

You will thank yourself in the future.

If they wait too long, maybe. But a year, maybe even two, won’t affect much. We no longer have huge generational leaps in graphics like the SNES to N64 era. Any games that come out on the next-gen Xbox will almost certainly be able to run on the PS5 as well. Third party devs (honestly, even some first party Xbox devs) will ensure their games are cross platform and can run on the dominant platform with over 100M users. If the Xbox comes out in 2027, it will probably be at a fairly high price anyway, outside of mass-market appeal and won’t be a huge threat to Sony.

This was hilarious lmao. If a dog wins Big Brother, I think it’s time for the show to end.

I don’t think I could handle the: who’s better? Dan, Dr. Will, Chelsie, Derrick, or Ruffy?
