Or you could not be an unreasonable smartass in your reply, and simply either post your own experience or actually go google the issue and learn that your experience may in fact not be the sole one to expect. Edit: And the only wording I would have changed in my original post as it is, is simply to say all of Caldigit's models, and not seemingly indicate that it was every. single. dock. ever. manufactured, as you seem to have taken from my post, because all of their docks have had reports of the issue amongst users. But anyway, I'm done with it and moving on. Canned Sunshine fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Nov 30, 2020 |

You mean like I did? New topic: somewhere in this thread someone posted a link to a site that's tracking what's M1 (and Big Sur) ready. Searching for it was fruitless. Can someone re-share it? I'm looking specifically for music software migration status. TIA

SgtScruffy posted:Ah Crap - drat, I looked up a non-mid-2012 macbook and it was just "take out battery > put in new battery" so I assumed it was going to be the same. I'm not entirely sure if such an old MacBook would support it but I would recommend getting Al dente 1.2. It basically lets you set a max charge level for your computer. I would recommend 80% if you're going to stay plugged in most of the time anyway. That will dramatically improve the longevity of your battery. https://github.com/davidwernhart/AlDente/releases I know the current version of macOS has an intelligent battery manager it's supposed to keep it below 80% except for right before when you get up and unplug it. But for me, it hasn't really done anything like that at all so far. I do turn on videos overnight that I fell asleep to, however. So it probably thinks that I'm actually using the computer all throughout the evening so I can't blame it. Nitrousoxide fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Nov 30, 2020 |

This thread is having me hope that my 2013 rMPB poops itself so I can justify a M1 Air. Though realistically I think I should hold out another year for second gen performance and maybe a body update. e: ^^^ is that pho in your av?

Speaking for myself, losing the bong was one of many reasons why I’ve stayed on Mojave. Like my dad was legit pissed when he updated to Catalina and suddenly his old iMac wasn’t cheerily greeting him at startup.

I like the bong simply because it gives me some sort of actual response that I've turned the computer on. I'll press the power button firmly and even though I'm pretty sure the computer is booting I'll sit there and stare at the blank screen for like 4 seconds and start to worry.

Does anyone know why it takes so long for apple to send out a Laptop? I “bought” a MBP M1 customised with a 1tb hard drive and 16gb ram a week or so ago and the estimated date of arrival is the 15th December. I’m not in any major rush it just seems weird for a company of Apples stature to take so long.

Apple ships same day with 2-day shipping so if you're seeing an arrival date of weeks out it's because it's out of stock and backordered, which isn't really uncommon with new releases.

the cortana video is funny but i will say i have literally never not once had it work right on any of my windows machines. with that said i find siri to be pretty un-useful on macos, in part due to awkward summoning and then how it just sits on top when you’re done. i wonder what sort of upgrades they’ll bring to it for the mac if any. it seems so limited compared to what the mac can do.

I've got something weird going on. When I make a second desktop (same monitor, just a second desktop I swipe to) in Big Sur I get these weird colors for the UI elements. It's a pinkish hue. Any idea why this is? It's pretty annoying. Here's the primary desktop, everything cool there.  And the same window just moved to the second desktop

Looking at supply the 512/16 M1 MacBook Air is out of stock here. If my dad is basically in excel every so often and otherwise in safari / mail the 256/8 MacBook Air still shouldn’t have much of an issue driving that Ultrafine 4K display and generally not being laggy right?

Can't lie, I immediately checked the trade value of my Intel Air. Turns out £1600 in April is only worth £500 now. Yikes. I know these things don't hold value like phones but drat. Oh well. I'm not going to impulse buy an M1 or even an M2 probably, this things still doing fine, but every time the fans spin up I'm going to sigh imperceptibly.

Probably a dumb question, but an M1 MBA is going to be way faster in terms of basic tasks (browsing/Google docs) than my slow as poo poo 2017 12-inch Retina MacBook, right? I do love how it only weighs 2 pounds, but the slowness is killing me, even though it is relegated to couch browsing.

I am getting about 10-12 hours of screen on time with mixed-use for work/leisure. My work is mostly responding to emails, attending meetings (either on the phone or video calls). Leisure consists of reading this dead comedy forum, watching videos, and otherwise browsing the internet. So you can very much expect a realistic 10+ hours of actual battery life out of the computer for your usecase

I remember a year or so ago I claimed that an Arm processor with a 30~W TDP focused on speed would decimate Intels and several people said that Arm just wouldn’t scale like that. I was wrong. They decimate Intel processors at 20~W.

Linus’ M1 Mini review might be the nicest, most bizarrely pro-Apple video he’s ever made. It’s like mirror universe Linus (yeah yeah, I know he loves his Watch and AirPods). Like his biggest, angriest complaint is that Apple was vague in their initial presentation...and he gets pretty righteous and steamed about it in a very PC-fanboy-who-just-doesn’t-like-Apple’s-ways sort of way. But otherwise Anthony, et al. produced a bunch of really impressive benchmarks against the Intel counterpart, a TOTL 2020 iMac, and a Ryzen 5 5600. Final conclusion is like- ‘yeah umm this is basically the future and it’s kind of nuts’ The comments are hilarious too because it’s like 35% mac people crawling out of the woodwork to celebrate and gloat, 45% PC/multiplat people being like “wow I think I might have to look into one of these Airs or something”/“can’t wait to see how the PC space tries to respond to this”, and like 20% people being like “gently caress Apple all this makes me want to do is build the most expensive Ryzen 5 desktop I can afford” https://youtu.be/4MkrEMjPk24
