the samsung cpu is octocore, and the A10 is quad

it's more like 4 vs. 2 since that's all that operate at a time.

assuming samsung isn't cheating on their benchmarks again

also, put the mac pro single core store on there, fatwood

if they come out with a (non-pro) macbook with 2 usb-c ports which can drive 2 5k screens* it will be the last computer i will ever buy

* = its not just the number of ports the mbp 13 can only drive 1 5k screen

虹はどこで終わるのですか? あなたの魂の中で、または地平線で?
i was just researching why the mbp 13 cant drive 2 5k screens

at first i thought it was because the lg ultrafine 5k screens dont support dp 1.3 streams (i still dont know if this is true)
then i checked the graphics cards. intel only does dp 1.2 so this is def a problem but more importantly...
the usb-c ports in the macbooks are thunderbolt 3 which only supports dp 1.2 so thats probably going to be the longer-term limitation

what a ride in annoying confusing nerd poo poo

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

imacs no cause the stands are built in but I guarantee their are some custom hack jobs. their monitors probably but I don't think they make monitors anymore.

they do actually, http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/imac-vesa - and, surprisingly, they charge only $40 extra

i do think apple is suffering from overstretching their resources. macOS seems to suffer the most.

messages needs some desparate lovin.very weird error I ran into today in messages:

my good friend eric's conversation renamed him to "Liliana," another person in my contacts that i texted twice like three years ago. odd.

how does the most profitable company on earth have stretched resources

how

for gently caress sake they could pay me $100k a year to q/a their bullshit and they wouldn't even know i was on the payroll

growing pains?

they went from having 20 billion to half a trillion dollars in ten years it takes a while to even figure out what the gently caress to do with all that money
