Except Costco. They did stand up against the DEI bullshit and recently have expressly said they won’t buy and distributed the imported beef. I assume there’s more between those two points in time, I’m just not aware. One of the few out there doing good stuff.
Touche.
I’ve seen a handful of videos about it recently that have been pushed into my algorithm. There’s definitely a campaign to get it out to influencers. Never heard of it prior to this week.
It’s just a fork of Arch, with tiling, that’s been slop coded with AI. Something anyone could recreate without AI in a couple hours if they’re familiar with Arch.
I think they’re overpriced compared to most laptops. Being ARM doesn’t inherently make it more valuable. The newest cheap model is the first that I feel has been relatively fairly priced, but it still comes with less RAM than it should. “Grossly” may not be the best word, but I think they are overpriced based entirely on name recognition.
Like I said, I think their fine computers, just more expensive than they should be.
I am in no way an Apple fan. I think their computers are fine but grossly over priced and their phones are ass. I would say compared to many other big tech companies, the enshittifying isn’t as bad. Those like Google and Microsoft for example. If I had a gun to my head and had to buy a new Windows laptop or Mac and not install Linux, I’m taking the Mac. That’s not a positive review for them, it’s an insult to Microsoft.
So take what I said and just assume it means that they are just getting worse faster, not that they good and going to get bad. That ship sailed long ago as you pointed out.
I don’t have to. Yea, it shares some backend Google services, but the rest of the browser, like the other 90% isn’t Chrome. It’s like comparing Windows and Mac OS and saying that they’re the same because they both connect to the same Internet and that their operating systems. Just like Chrome v Firefox, they are two distinctly different products.
I hope for my next vehicle to be an EV, but I won’t take anything less that 300 miles range. I know that 90% of my driving can be comfortably done in under 200 range, but I do go on longer trips. I know that recharging has come a long way, and I have no problem hanging out for 15+ min at a station, but I won’t do it every 2-3 hours because that’s all I’ve got.
I’m hoping to get many more years out of my current ride before it dies or becomes too costly to repair vs replace. That gives ample time for battery tech to further improve, and hopefully more and cheaper EVs to the market.
I’m not a car snob by any means, but currently the only EV that really piques my interest is the ionic 5 n, but it’s range is just way too low. I’ve been driving a WRX for a little over 6 years now, and love pretty much everything about it. I hope to someday have an EV equivalent of it.
Other than just this, reading through the comments, this John fellow like he’s trying to speed run enshittifying Apple.
MS and Apple looking to push that Linux migration with AI and other bad decisions.
Hardly makes it “Chrome with extra steps”.
Care to elaborate? It’s actually not like chrome at all. The engine is different, it’s not Google, they haven’t blocked manifest v2 plugins… Other than being a web browser, how would you classify it as Chrome?
That was an unfortunate read.
