Reddit used to have pretty low overhead. You couldn't upload/host videos directly on Reddit, you could only share links or create self-posts. They didn't have all these superfluous features that they have now like live chat,

The Play Store doesn't require a credit card, at least not in the U.S. I have a Google account that I use for testing on an Pixel phone. When I go to install a new (free) app, it nags me to add a payment method to my account. But I can

If you don’t understand how iPhone could have defeated Windows Mobile, it’s hard to take you seriously on your other points.

Disagree. 2016 15" MBP was 4.0 pounds. 2019 16" MBP was 4.3 pounds. New 16" MBP is 4.5 pounds. Apple simply decided in 2016 to shrink the size and weight by removing ports and other things, and then to increase the size and w

My problem with it is it only works 75% of the time. Another 15% of the time it just hangs indefinitely. And 10% it just doesn't even try.

Dell XPS webcams are generally really inferior to MacBook Pro webcams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgFd_w2n1es&t=193s shows a good comparison between the M1 MacBook Pro from last year and the 13" Dell XPS. The

Same. I am impressed with M1 Pro and M1 Max performance numbers. I ordered the new MBP to replace my 2020 M1 MBP, but I bought it with the base M1 Pro and I'm personally way more excited about 32gb, 1000 nits brightness, function row k

FWIW initial Geekbench scores that surfaced today do not show a significant improvement in the single-core performance for M1 Max compared to M1. https://www.macrumors.com/2021/10/18/first-m1-max-geekbench-...

It appears that M1 Max itself comes in 24-core and 32-core GPU variants. So I guess some M1 Max chips are more maximum than other M1 Max chips.

I'm pretty sure they are comparing them with 2019/2020 MacBook Pros, which apparently have chips originally launched 2017.

I'm not opposed to subscriptions but the terms here feel draconian. If you lose your reMarkable, your cloud backups give you access only to the files you used in the last 50 days? Am I reading this right?

It's worth noting that Apple also sometimes releases security updates for devices that no longer support the latest iOS. For example, Apple released security update iOS 12.5.4[1] on June 14, 2021 for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6. [1]: h

I'm happy with what Valve is doing now, but as a whole, the fact that Steam OS is a Linux distro doesn't necessarily mean that Steam OS / Steam Deck won't become locked down in the same manner in the future. Android itse

To be fair, many Quest games are very small (1gb-5gb). In contrast, GTA V on Steam is 72gb.

After looking at the specs, I'm really disappointed. MagSafe by itself already heats up my iPhone 12 mini tremendously compared to a normal wired charger, which can charge up to 20W instead of just 15W (or 12W for my mini). But this ba

A lot of people mentioning Soulver as a great alternative. But after running into limitations with Soulver, I eventually discovered Magic Calculator, and I fell in love. It allows for more precise calculations, and it's way cheaper at
