It’s funny how well linux works with printers, no stupid hp app, no configuration. Just hit print and done.

I wasn’t recommending it for that?

I said that it wouldn’t be good for streaming apps, like Netflix, and the previous comment was asking about Plex specifically.

Not for the shield, but there’s a Chinese device, Ugoos am6b+, that you can install coreelec on.

Coreelec is a linux os designed to run kodi, add a plex add on and it can play almost anything.

Any dolby vision profile, including the one that can usually only be played on bluray players. Any audio including TrueHD, dolby atmos, and DTS.

Sucks for streaming apps sadly, so you’d have to get another device like Apple TV or something.

It could be, but making a game about alternate time lines with Paul atreides is not the setting I would choose for a dune MMO. It sounds like it would be a fantastic single player game setting.

Personally I like the idea of MMOs but have yet to find one I actually like.

This would be so much more interesting if it wasn’t an MMO.

I think at that point I’d mail a certified letter and cancel whatever card it’s on.

That probably wouldn’t work but one can dream.

It’s still free, just under a different plan named lite https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/plan/lite/

Yeah it’s annoying and shitty, but it’s not so bad.

“This is the first demonstration of high resolution up-conversion imaging from 1550-nm infrared to visible 550-nm light in a non-local metasurface," said author Rocio Camacho Morales. "We choose these wavelengths because 1,550 nm, an infrared light, is commonly used for telecommunications, and 550 nm is visible light to which human eyes are highly sensitive. Future research will include expanding the range of wavelengths the device is sensitive to, aiming to obtain broadband IR imaging, as well as exploring image processing, including edge detection.”

That does not sound like an Infrared camera.

I browse all, and I just block communities that I find overly negative.

I like using a forest berry jam mix of Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Cranberries, and Strawberries.

It’s currently my favorite, but when I was a kid I liked strawberry preserves.

That gpu looks like it only has 6 pins, not 8, so it could be fine.

I’m honestly not sure, I’d need to talk to my family, since they know much more about it than me.

I have documented ancestry of Choctaw, card and everything, but my genetic test show 0%. The blood amount is quite low at 1/128

This could be because of the way genes work, roll the dice enough time and there are no genes left. On the other hand many Native Americans are not keen on giving away genetic data after their history with the US.

I’m not saying you are or aren’t part native American, but genetic tests are limited.

Are they still using Mp3 for audio or have they switched to something more modern for that too?

I have plenty of understanding of what virtual memory memory is. For one, virtual memory is orders of magnitude slower than physical RAM.

My point still stands, 8gb is fine if all you do is light web browsing and writing documents which is basically nothing, but at that point you don’t need a 2024 Macbook anything, you could use a older M1 Macbook and be perfectly happy.

All web browsers will use up as much ram as possible, that doesn’t mean they need it.

Even you don’t have a device with 8gb of memory, just because it’s usable doesn’t mean that’s it’s optimal, or that it’s not a ripoff to charge $200 for another 8gb.

Oh no I read the article, I just don’t consider that testing.

It’s not really apt to compare using ram on a browser on one computer and extract that to another, there’s a lot of complicated ram and cache management that happens in the background.

Testing would involve getting a 8gb ram Mac computer and running common tasks to see if you can measure poorer performance, be it lag, stutters or frame drops.

This stuff is almost ewaste.

This is just not enough memory to make a computer last, especially since you can’t upgrade.

Websites and apps that a lot of people use just aren’t really expecting to only have 8gb ram available. Any kind of multitasking could easily run out of ram

This is a truly terrible article.

Like why not test these things? This just sounds like ai generated garbage.

That being said, 8gb is an abysmally low amount of ram in 2024. I had a mid range surface in 2014 that had that much ram. And the upcharge for more is quite ridiculous too.

I know it’s pc ram but I bought 64gb of ddr4 3600mhz for like $130. How on earth is apple charging $200 for 8!!!

Height is generally an advantage as it usually comes with increased reach and strength.

Avoid knives at all costs, but if you can’t use your reach to protect your vital bits until you can get away.

I disagree that it’s a luxury. Many people, especially autistic people, simply cannot learn this skill and they can suffer for it greatly.
