Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough (www.xda-developers.com)

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that...

ABCDE ,

I don't know what Xcode is so yeah, I haven't been found wanting with my 8GB M2. Videos, downloading, web browsing, writing, chat applications, some photo editing, games (what I can actually play on a Mac, anyway), all good here.

16GB+ is obviously going to be necessary though, and not exactly that expensive to put into their base models so it should be put in soon.

ABCDE ,

That is what happens though, it's clear about that.

"Thanks to a flaw in a decade-old version of the RoboForm password manager"

Yes, cheers for that.

ABCDE ,

How so? India doesn't recognise people in some unusual but not impossible circumstances, such as those without fingerprints.

ABCDE ,

Ecosia too I think.

ABCDE ,

It is now.

ABCDE ,

You don't know what you're on about and you cannot read.

ABCDE ,

he should like

Just because it's open?

ABCDE ,

What's the point there? No one has to like something just because it is open.

ABCDE ,

What a non article.

ABCDE ,

Well yes, because they used to be great, now they aren't.

ABCDE ,

Depends where you're from. Present Perfect is fine in this context.

ABCDE ,

He tested it with multiple similar objects.

ABCDE ,

They've been shit for quite a few years. Overheating laptops made me vocally against them after the fifth repair/replacement.

ABCDE ,

Very unlikely.

ABCDE ,

When will VR be a thing in Linux?

ABCDE ,

Repost.

ABCDE ,

What's the tidiest distro these days?

ABCDE ,

Aye, I used Ubuntu back when I was working retail, as I'd put it on units which didn't have Windows licences.

ABCDE ,

The former is fine for copying and pasting. The latter probably not something I can be arsed with.

ABCDE ,

That doesn't make sense. I have the 8GB M2 and don't have any issues with 20+ tabs, video calling, torrents, Luminar, Little Snitch, etc open right now.

ABCDE ,

They said that with the release of the M1 Air.

ABCDE ,

I'm using Chrome.

ABCDE ,

It's very odd, I've had the weirdest downvotes.

ABCDE ,

We both have 8GB Airs in our house, an M1 and an M2. They run just fine.

    The choice of what you can do and play.

    ABCDE ,

    So do it yourself?

    ABCDE ,

    Jamboard also, which a lot of my students still use at school.

    ABCDE ,

    It is/was integrated and simple for students to use and link to. What others do you like?

    ABCDE ,

    That... Looks good. How is the microphone quality? How long does it last?

    ABCDE ,

    Thanks. I'm tempted as in and over ear headsets would be less preferable than something which rests outside. I still have another year and a half of teaching online so this would be a decent quality of life upgrade.

    ABCDE ,

    Can you control the volume on the computer? I have a Mac in case that's an issue.

    Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets (arstechnica.com)

    But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don't do this not because they can't but because they don't want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

    ABCDE ,

    But not for overall profit

    ABCDE ,

    Spotify, Netflix, Fastmail, a VPN (Pure I think at the moment), I think that's about it.

    ABCDE ,

    What does this data do? Looks like a decent cause otherwise. Submit to /piracy also?

    ABCDE ,

    I'm getting sick of this yet we are backed into a corner. I never had to set up my old 21" CRT, yet LG forces me to fuck around with pointless settings to get an image I'm still not happy with.

    My Xbox pushes ads. My Mac has stuff built in which I'll never use yet I cannot remove. Windows is a joke but has compatibility I may have to return to. My phone asks me to review applications I just want to use and not be bothered by.

    ABCDE ,

    Mine is not ads as I haven't connected it to the internet, but the fact that the settings out of the box on a so-called state-of-the-art TV are absolutely fucked and contrary to how it should be.

    ABCDE ,

    My cars have all been relatively stupid, by modern standards, my motorbikes too, as I've never owned anything younger than ten years.

    Linux would be great if... I could get it on great hardware, and have it play VR games (plus any modern titles). I'm teetering on a second hand Razer Blade running W10 to get my fix.

    ABCDE ,

    For the uneducated, what's wrong with it?

    ABCDE ,

    Only -231 degrees required, nice.

    Is clock speed a thing anymore rather than cores?

    ABCDE ,

    This has been a thing for years.

    ABCDE ,

    Yes, although it's true, and most likely: certainly.

    ABCDE ,

    Facebook does that for me too, alongside flat earthers, anti EV crap and the occasional funny picture. It's depressing.

    ABCDE ,

    Are there enough using it?

    ABCDE ,

    How is graphics card stuff with them, all okay in terms of drivers? I assume VR might be an issue?

    ABCDE ,

    Wouldn't you look away from the screen?

    ABCDE ,

    That sounds better than the silly example I had in my head.

    ABCDE ,

    Did you read the article?
