If it is going to be a primary computer or a work computer then I would get the Pro. The extra horsepower and cooling just simply make it more capable.

The Air is still a very good laptop and it is surprising what it can do, but if this is going to be a work tool for you then you should get the best that you can afford. An Air might be good 90% of the time but that 10% where it overheats will suck heaps.

Wow, this comment teleported me back to 2010 dealing with edgy 15 year-olds that think their opinion is the only thing that matters.

Turns out, people don’t like it when software is installed on their computers without their permission. Especially when it violates their privacy! The term for this is “malware”.

A lot of Linux users here think the conversation begins and ends with game support. A lot of us use our computers for work and there is a lot of productivity and creative software that does not play nice with Linux. I’ve probably said this a dozen times here before but I’ll say it again: Not all of us use our computers solely for gaming.

I expected them to charge more, to be honest.

Oh goody. Another SEO-infested, ad-riddled, AI-plagued search engine that gives me everything except what I searched for. Exactly what I wanted.

Meta spokesperson told us that it’s “aware of this type of behavior, and continues to take action against accounts and content that violate our policies.”

“It doesn’t seem to be something that’s being actively moderated,” Johnson told The Register. "The accounts have been around for a month, two months

lol. lmao, even

The features customers actually want vs what the shareholders tell them they want.

I can’t see these being used for anything other than tourism or light general aviation use… And even then the areas they can fly/land will be so restricted because of how loud they are.

Ahh, that makes sense.

I wonder if the display is technically capable of 120hz+ and they just locked it in software.

The mini has always given me the impression that it exists simply to drive sales towards the more expensive models. Although I’m surprised they still make it considering they’ve axed the mini iphone a few generations ago.

Personally, I don’t feel like any iPad is worth the cost though because of how limited iPadOS is.

I’m still having a hard time understanding what niche this marketplace is supposed to fill and what Epic’s plans for it are.

Some of my favourite monitors have been from LG but these days I get by just fine never buying any of their products and I will continue to do so. Eat shit, LG.

I haven’t upgraded my 14p yet due to all the bugs I’ve heard about in iOS 18. Also that the new photos app is a dumpster fire of changes nobody asked for.

If I am unable or unwilling to purchase a game (lack of funds, ethical concerns, etc) and I cannot pirate it or get it heavily discounted then I do something very simple and efficient.

I just don’t play it. There are heaps of great games out there, new and old, that I can put my time into instead.

Many of the games that pack Denuvo these days are AAA trash that I wouldn’t play anyway.

Gamers are not the only people that use Windows. A lot of creative and commercial software either requires Windows or works best on it.

I think Windows is garbage as much as everyone else here, but switching is not that easy.

iCloud has come some ways but there is still a huge feature disparity between it and competitors like Google.

iCloud is a good accessory if you’re already somewhat involved in Apple’s ecosystem but you have to pay if you want more than a fraction of a thimbleful of storage and it lacks many basic features and compatibilities. iCloud Drive in particular is extremely barebones and completely overshadowed by Google, Proton, and Microsoft.

Also another thing is that cloud suites need to be platform agnostic and iCloud is very ass when used from the web. This will continue to be a major thing holding it back until Apple accepts that iCloud won’t truly succeed until they stop giving an inferior experience to non-Apple devices.

The scummyness of this company knows no bounds.

The primary reason I moved to iPhones was because I got absolutely sick and tired of my android phones being abandoned by the manufacturer after a year. I’m sure it is better these days, but those earlier days of extremely slow Carrier-based updates completely ruined my trust and I know I’m not the only one.

I kind of want a flip phone for the compact size when folded so it will fit more easily into my tiny pockets. But I don’t want a phone with a screen that likely need regular (and expensive) replacements if I want to keep using it long past the 2 year contract window like I do with most phones.
