Re: Apple Silicon is a joke
Well, it would be like explaining why I like blue better than yellow. I already told you it's not a preference that can (or should) be explained rationally. But I'll try. I like how it installs apps (usually it's simply dragging the icon from the virtual disk to your applications folder. But you can...

Re: Was the original totse so damn racist as well?
A few ppl here could probably step out of their bubble a bit and realize racism is just a ploy for the elite to pit us against each other At the risk of sounding conspiratorial, this right here. All they want is for us to consume and fight each other. That way we won't notice all the bad shit they ...

Re: Apple Silicon is a joke
Video editing is a matter of preference. Adobe Premier and DaVinci Resolve are kind of the standard now and they work fine on Windows and Mac (DaVinci even had a Linux version). Some professionals prefer FInal Cut Pro and that's exclusive to the Mac. I'm not saying it's easier (than WIndows, Linux, ...

Re: Apple Silicon is a joke
I'm not keeping tabs on that list and making judgments based on that. If I would, I could be changing platforms every time one has an update and gives it an edge over the other. The only thing that matters for me: it offers me the most pleasant experience while doing the things I need to do with com...

Re: Apple Silicon is a joke
I'm showing you a comparison of an iPad Pro with some i7 laptops of that era to illustrate that 2018's Apple sillicon could already outperform some very high end Intel processors. Since the processor in an iPad needs to be restricted for battery life, cooling and form factor, it's safe to assume the...

Re: Was the original totse so damn racist as well?
But to answer the question, was it racist? Sort of. If you mean racist as a bunch of young adults yelling the word nigger to illicit a response then sure. I personally don't think people are as racist as they seem. If you drill down on even a "clear cut" racist you often find that they do...

Re: Was the original totse so damn racist as well?
Thank you for such a considerate response! Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy. It can grind your gears, offend you, make you uncomfortable. All these things are necessary to progress to a better future. So count me in on that. But too often, free speech is used as an excuse to offen...

Re: Apple Silicon is a joke
That's a bit of a shitty old argument, don't you think? I took me two seconds to find this: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/new-ipad-pro-benchmarks,news-28453.html And that's the 2018 model. I have no doubt the custom Apple sillicon for Macs will perform much better than that. A trillion dollar company...

Was the original totse so damn racist as well?
I stumbled upon newtotse yesterday and in a burst of nostalgia, I registered. I visited the original a lot around '03, perhaps '04, when I was about 20. Back then, it wasn't the most savory of places either. Even my 20 yo self could recognize that, though I had a higher tolerance for it. Around that...

Re: Apple Silicon is a joke
I for one am very curious to see what they'll come up with. It's at least another opportunity to differentiate from x86 machines, just like back in the PPC and Motorola days. And if the performance of their i-devices is anything to go by, these new Macs will at least perform sufficiently for day to ...
