I would argue that identities are useful, but a very human construct when applied to transformative material like this. The ship of theseus comparison is actually pretty relevant here!
To be clear: the training also does this.
Admittedly I am in a weird situation where consoles and steam deck are both off the table. I am a bit of a framerate junkie. 30fps is unplayable.
Amusingly my m1 max macbook can actually hold 120fps in final fantasy xiv and actually has a 120hz screen, but those specs for the price would make no sense if this wasn’t also my main productivity system. The battery life, heat, speakers and screen quality are all huge bonuses in this case.
A steam deck would never satisfy me, so a gaming laptop would have been mandatory for travel if not for my macbook.
The bigger point here is that if you need that kind of power, it comes with compromises to battery life, heat, and device longevity.
Apple silicon is just fast enough for most workloads you want on a laptop, and can handle surprisingly heavy video workloads. For anything more, a desktop is a better idea than a laptop anyways.
There’s definitely a niche for desktop replacement class laptops, but that is a niche. Gaming laptops are still king though. You don’t buy a macbook for gaming.
At max usage, an m1 has a hard time overheating. The hardware is really good this time, and the previous overheating was due to insufficient cooling hardware.
Even if apple adds features that run the cpu/gpu/neural cores as hard as possible, overheating is not really on the table the same way it was on x86 macbooks.
Yeah i originally heard it was great, but that seems to have changed. Happens to a lot of good services
I have a roommate who used gitlab. apparently the current ownership is extremely profit motivated, and they still respond to DMCA takedowns.
No real upside except microsoft not owning them. Can’t even actually subscribe monthly last I’ve heard. Like, they show a per-month price, but you still have to do annual payments.
Could be moisture in the filament contributing.
Amusingly there are a lot of fetish gear Etsy shops that are still above board, but not much else in my experience.
You should take a look at her district. She represents an area barely anybody lives in. The people of colorado by and large hate her.
Lightning peripherals. They are rare, but do exist.
This is likely just a stopgap solution for a niche audience.
What? We call in a whole pizza order all the time. You can do that.
