It’s because AI needs a not a ram. I think Apple did not expect or plan for ai which shows in the fact that only the latest pro phone can have Apple intelligence. It’s because that phone has enough ram.
Now they will boost ram across the board because Apple intelligence will not run well without it.
Depending on pricing, I may actually buy a MacBook in 2025.
I’ve wanted one since the m1, but I’ve held out until 16gb was the starting amount of ram.
I agree, that’s what I meant by full computer.
Video is tougher as it changes every few years. Once a new standard is out there is also a little lag before there is hardware decoding. Additionally the video codec and extension are different things. I’m going to talk about codecs as I think it’s more important than file type.
Hardware decoding is important especially for mobile devices and software decoding will run the processor and eat up your battery.
For video, right now, the technically best format I think is AV1. If I’m not mistaken it’s open source or at least doesn’t have royalties.
Images are kind of the same story, but browser support is the issue.
I think jpegxl is supported to be pretty great, but Google is trying to push their own standard which I believe is technically inferior in some ways. Because of that Google had support for jpegxl in chrome and then they removed it from chrome.
I think the tech is still kinda pricey, but imagine having a phone, table, and then full computer when docked to a keyboard and mouse in one device.
That’s the dream.
I’d even be happy with the phone/full computer combo.
Anyone who has already purchased a Prloton, should be able to resell it. If they can’t, then I see a class action coming.
New sales could do this I guess, hopefully people will stop buying from crap companies
Coincidentally, Boothby is in the voyager episode I started watching this morning.
Sounds burning, but I guess it’s because I’m not a moba person.
I recently read that a baby crib did the same thing they charge an activation fee after it’s sold. First we had subscriptions now we have reselling activation fees. It’s just another way to get a little bit more money.
It’s unreasonable to have a special tradition every day of the year.
The guy never shuts up.
I know what you mean, but I’m tired of window’s bullshit too.
I’d keep pc hardware if my work could happen on Linux, but it’s sadly not an option at the moment.
