Do they make a non-Apple laptop with usable two-finger scrolling? No. That's why it will always be worth the cost if you're not poor.

If you're a stemlord you should probably just be running your jobs on a cluster or buying a proper workstation or if for some godawful reason you really need a "portable" laptop with high-end hardware get a Precision or something

The processors that exist today on the high performance end are so ridiculously faster than the low energy ones better for laptops is insane, unless your time is worth nothing you should pay for the fast desktops with their fast CPUs and GPUs that will pull over 1 kilowatt.

"The thing you have to remember is that this was before the iPhone was introduced and no one knew what the iPhone would do... At the end of the day, there was a chip that they were interested in that they wanted to pay a certain price for and not a nickel more and that price was below our forecasted cost. I couldn't see it. It wasn't one of these things you can make up on volume. And in hindsight, the forecasted cost was wrong and the volume was 100x what anyone thought."

It was the only moment I heard regret slip into Otellini's voice during the several hours of conversations I had with him. "The lesson I took away from that was, while we like to speak with data around here, so many times in my career I've ended up making decisions with my gut, and I should have followed my gut," he said. "My gut told me to say yes."

this is a man who is lying to himself and to you. intel had many chances to get into Apple embedded products after the iPhone was an obvious hit and they blew them all. they could not get their poo poo together enough to get the deal done.

tbf it wasn't just an apple thing -- intel apparently can't make chips for anything smaller than a laptop to save their life

their mobile offerings are poo poo

their embedded offerings are poo poo

their "hobbyist" offerings are amazingly poo poo

i'm sure they would have loved to have their chips in some of the trillions of android phones, too, but for some reason they haven't be able to make something competitive with ARM despite ten years of effort

all my music is synced to it so I can access it anywhere, which admittedly is a feature that is losing it's luster because using itunes is like being kicked in the nuts repeatedly

did you know when you go to the Album view it sorts it by Artist/Album so if you have a compilation album the album is split up all over the loving place and there is no way to change this?

ah ha! you say, i will go into song view and sort by album and bypass this loving idiocy. you fool, you think the itunes team didn't think you'd try that? if you add "Album" to the columns to sort by the column added is actually "Album by Artist/Year" and does the exact same thing that the album view does. There is also no way to change this behavior.

ok, you say, sighing, I'll just play some music then browse my songs to find the next thing to listen to. itunes also has this really cool feature where when it starts playing the next song, it jumps to it in the song list so you get to figure out where you were. again, this is not a configurable behavior.

yes there is. while i realize this is not a thing you should have to do, if you change the album artist (rather than the song artist) to "various" or "compilation" or whatever, it will group the album together

been using the touch bar since release, still loving stinks and there hasn't been a single day I go "oh that was very cool and useful"

like maybe once I pushed "ok" on the touch bar instead of moving my mouse to the dialog box

Touch ID button is great though
rest of the touchbar sucks
every day I miss the escape key (touchbar can hide it sometimes if you change volume and forget to exit the volume screen, for instance lol it's so bad)

pretty much everything.

* song field shouldn't contain the artist name, that's already in the artist field.
* the artist name is "Dick Dale and His Del-Tones".
* the album name shouldn't contain the disc number, there's a field for that.
* the genre should be Surf.

and finally usually the album artist would be "various artists" to appease the iTunes idiotic sorting. but you seem to have a checkbox for that which I've never seen before, so I can't fault you there
