@amerika Year, exactly, it's the rule of thumb in general — to avoid vendor lock-ins. This particular model was the last straw for me dealing with Apple😄
Thunderbolt display I've bought with it was also bad, not exceptionally bad like the laptop, but still had problems that never got fixed, like not waking up from sleep together with laptop it was connected to — so you had to re-plug it… For this price? How about no, thank you! Got rid of it when GPU died, didn't work with integrated one anyway.

@amerika This model was particularly bad because they came with faulty GPUs, Apple refused to acknowledge the problem for five years (!), then,had started a replacement program. Mine worked perfectly despite me using it a lot, but in a month after the program was over… We were doing something in the studio and I had noticed some graphical artifacts — didn't pay attention, and the next day it was dead 🤦
Well, it still kinda works with Intel integrated card, but I still hate it 🤭

@amerika At that time hardware was decent, I'm typing this on a Mac Pro only 2 years older than this laptop and it's an amazing machine, it's been running all these years and I've never even changed thermal paste in it😅 Still runs perfectly!
These "unibody" laptops were the beginning of their dimise, MacBookAir was the harbinger of course — never got what this model was for, you coulnd't plug a soundcard into it, there was no Firewire, basically just an overpowered netbook, but people loved it 😏

@paulo You become a girl yourself!
… and have strength of five gorillas 😂

I find it funny how badly designed 2011 MacBookPros were, I'm cross-compiling cups for my PowerPC machine now and as there is no Void binary repo for PowerPC it involves building a lot of stuff from source, right now it's building LLVM so it can truly utilize 100% CPU. And guess what? Its running off the battery! 🤯
They've put a CPU in this thing that 85W power supply can't sustain! And I'm not using the discrete GPU now — because it's fried, theoretically it could be even worse than that!

@neural_meduza Уже есть — т.н. фабрика троллей 😆

@GNUxeava Just as stupid as defining it with not smoking or not drinking, but people do even that 😩

@GNUxeava
> What's with the hype around ARM computers?
They have smaller FOOTprint 😏

@3T
For having over ten million alts 😈
@dcc @kirby

@mynameistillian Yes, but at the same time blood is pronounced like blʌd 🤣
English ain't easy 🤪

@lain This bird looks a little blurred 🤓

@lz Exactly!
And you get skin cancer if your skin is pale 😱

@jonossaseuraava
I think I started brushing my teeth less since I have started using electric toothbrush because it vibrates when two minutes are over 😅
So I wouldn't worry much about that article, it's most probably targeted at people who do it for less then two minutes. I don't know why these people do it at all — some kind of ritual? Because it's as good as not doing it at all. Maybe they just love eating toothpaste 🤷
@thor

@kirby
Why, isn't it kinda cool? I even started thinking of gluing an old Intel CPU to my ARM laptop 🤭
@memefolder

@kravietz Not only that, Russia has been using incidentary munitions not dissimilar to the infamous white phosphorus since the very beginning — and yet, this still gets media attention, that Russia will be forced to start using something as a reaction to something new being given to Ukraine. I'm shocked 🤦
People have been fed this bullshit numerous times already and yet they keep buying it, what's next then, another round of nuclear blackmail?

@mo Ну просто есть! Где-то 😏
@neural_meduza

@yukiame Lots of zoomers can't tell time using "round clock" (I think, that's the way they call it, at least in Russian) at all, so she isn't half bad 😂

The day has finally come! We have shitposts on Gemini 😁

@LaoBan Sensible thing to do, considering that AV1 is relatively new and not supported in all browsers, most notably Safari, and on all devices.
I'm also reluctant to use it as it was created by Google-controlled Alliance for Open Media, I do my best to avoid WebP, WebM, VP9 and other Google shit.
Implementation is also flaky — I've tried ffmpeg to encode short video to AV1, it took 5 mins utilizing 100% CPU with a few kilobyte compression gains over H264 🤷
@thor

@kevinrothrock He had been doing it voluntarily, now he's forced — see? World of difference 🤪
