Could it be all the corporate-tracking software ? I used to have a M1 Pro macbook with 16gb ram when it's first released, and somehow it still feel slow when compiling.

Then try again on my friend personal M1 MB, it was night and day.

We're a small shop so nothing of that sort, it's more of larger Figma projects and modern web-apps being hogs.

Honestly, these days compiling feels like really lightweight work in terms of memory compared to so much else.

Apple has history of giving inferior device newer update because it's released later.

Like the ipad pro 10.5 does not support later ios version, while the less powerful but newer base ipad does.

So, there is chance the M1 MBA stop receiving update before the MB Neo

Maybe don't touch the screen eh ?

>I literally couldn't find anything on the PC side. I wanted an x86 because I prefer Linux Mint as my OS (didn't care about windows) , but it was impossible to find a good laptop with good GPU , more than 64gb ram and decent build materials

Maybe ROG Flow 13 ? It's more like hybrid laptop, and geared toward "gaming"(because it's usually the gamer market that demand high performance), but nothing prevents you to use it as business machine.

It's also top of the line asus laptop, so i expect decent build quality.

if they are unable to self-regulate, then jailing them at home and school is definitely not a solution for that.

I think you're responding to an argument I didn't make. And I feel necessary to point it out because it looks like other people may be reading it like that, too.

I read it in the same way. What did you mean instead?

I mean what I wrote, nothing more.

(a) Quote from TFA is about using internet. GP talks about "didn’t have any freedom or autonomy" which I don't take quite as literally as you do, because they also mention "I saw this a lot in college". So it would have been quite regular level of (over)controlling, instead of locking them in and not letting them leave the house except for school.

(b) I am not advocating anything as a solution. I am pointing out that the simple cause and effect presented by GP might be more complicated.

>If the pads are underneath the part, and the trace is only internal, than a jumper may not be feasible.

BGa pad repairing is very common, here is one example: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1077341457703029 (sorry can't find non-facebook link)

nope, people still repair >8 layers boards like it's nothing. Some even do "chip repairing", literally remove the expoxy of the IC to fix bonding wire, or remove the security key/module on the chip.

In my country, Guns and Bullets are heavily controlled(Even airsoft is banned here). You can not get explosive unless you prove you have legit use for it(usually for mining). And of course DIY gun or bullet is no-no and you will be jailed.

Even in police force or army, they literally count every single bullet, and for every fired bullet, it must be explained in detail.

Maybe that's why we have low gun-related crime here.

Gunpowder is fairly simple to make.

Mexico has extremely restrictive gun laws and that is not the case there. It seems to have more to do with how much crime you have than whether someone who could be charged with homicide could redundantly be charged with having a firearm.

Yes. But it would look ugly, and does not have "smart" features.

whether or not it's worth it depends on user.

>anyone willing to pay $1200 for a god damn floor lamp would surely pay $1500

Not 100% true. With $1200 it has wider market reach than $1500. There are still people spend $1500 for a floor lamp, but 100% it will be fewer if it was priced at $1200.

Also pricing it too high means higher chance a clone will exist, because they can copy literally 1:1 and price it a little lower.

Another thing in China is they move fast. As long as you have enough money, the time to market is insanely short.

Maybe the sarcasm was lost in translation but a $1200 lamp is out of reach (or out of the question) for most people. A Juicero of lamps. I feel sorry for the guy because in a way you're right, clones of this will be going for $60 on AliExpress, probably built in the same factory with the same tooling.
