In Europe the price it’s not that appealing, it’s €699 and because they “care about environment 😉” the €99 charger (which is almost mandatory for a new user) is sold separately.

At €798 for 256g/8g it’s not as good as the $599 they’re selling in the US.

If someone is price sensitive, can get 3-4 refurbished ThinkPads with better specs for that price and run Linux much easier without hoping on some volunteer wizard to reverse engineer the proprietary components

I saw an unboxing for a TV for a Chinese market and it refused to start until the owner paired it with a Chinese phone otp for “age verification” 😉

It’s pretty much unbelievable that a country would accidentally hit their own civilian target while, for some reason, is trying to hit their own military target that’s next to it

And “accidentally” targeting schools and hospitals is the modus operandi of the IOF, which probably gave the intel on the structure

Facebook is lobbying them so they don’t have to do age checks on Instagram and can maximize the revenue

I compared what happened when those rich students died in the Crans Montana fire (full coverage on all channels for three weeks) vs the genocide in Sudan (briefly mentioned during the Sunday night special at 2 am)

Still now, after three months, the news around the investigation of the Crans Montana fire take more time than the genocide in Gaza

That’s because western countries don’t care about poor brown people.

When Iran attacked Dubai and the rich tourists the situation changed dramatically. Media showing all those rich inconvenienced people crying “I’m forced stuck in this luxury hotel for who knows how many days 😢 😭 😢 😭” while not even mentioning the four “peasants” from Pakistan and Nepal that were killed in the attacks

If it was Iran doing this, the rest of the world would have bombed the shit out of them

Illegal? But those rules don’t apply to them. See the settlements, the execution of kids, bombing of civilian targets and so on. All completely legal and authorized by most western countries

That is supposed to be even with Microsoft office, because it changes the fonts without warning and adjusts the margins according to the default printer. It’s not a format designed to be shared with other people

15 years ago it was a revolutionary idea

you’re punishing those poor guys that are doing the job for $10/month. zucc doesn’t care at all as they are already giving ptsd to thousands of moderators tasked of watching the reported gore videos

Consider that this is an iPhone 16 in a MacBook shell, though. This gives you performance comparable a 5 years old used MacBook M1. It’s usable, but it’s designed to act as a gateway drug, you’ll immediately hit storage and memory limits and want to buy a more expensive one.

8gb of RAM in 2026 where most modern apps are made in electron and a basic text editor takes half gig to show a blank page is less than ideal

They are already on the enshittification path.

After the “please disregard copyright and generate all the Ghibli-style photos that you want” phase, now they enforce a 24 hour cooldown after any kind of image upload

I wonder how the survey has been done?

Because if it has been done by phone, “do you want x to be banned if it continues to break the law?”, then it’s biased because X is historically used as a placeholder and only a ketamine addict could think that is a good idea to destroy a brand for that

Not meaning lemmy.world (which I’m assuming to be European as the fedihosting foundation IBAN for donations is dutch) but GitHub which is free and (mostly, because copilot ads) adfree because paid with user data

That style of moustache went out of fashion very rapidly after that photo

I’m not completely sure why

I think it’s marketing

5000 mAh is much a bigger number than 19 Wh and marketing loves huge numbers

Kinda like BMW did with the i3.

In 2013 Tesla was selling a model with a 60 kWh battery so BMW had the genius idea to install a 20 kWh battery BUT refer to it as “60 Ah” battery.

Tesla introduced the 90 kWh battery? BMW responds with a 94 Ah battery (28 kWh)

Newest Tesla has 100 kWh battery now? BMW has 120 Ah battery (38 kWh)

“See? Higher number!”, says the marketing

And in order to have a comparable range number they had to implement heavy weight reduction techniques like using carbon fiber for the body, negating any cost saving from the smaller battery AND giving the owner a total loss after small collisions as it shatters instead of bending

At 25 years old there’s simply no way that can be experienced, yet the titles are: Safety and alignment at Meta AI. Prev: VP of Research at Scale AI, research at Google DeepMind.

How the hell someone this young can get this three jobs in a row?

Extremely smart? From the screenshots it doesn’t seem like (you’re supposed to stop by sending the /stop command, not a full sentence that will be parsed by the cloud LLM APIs minutes after the task is done.)

Especially your work mailbox, that is a prime target for hackers and scammers, where a hidden prompt for prompt injection isn’t that impossibile.

This IMHO is a fireable offense, not a funny anecdote
