I had a Samsung TV over 10 years ago. One of the early “smart” ones. It got quite a few updates where a happy little text box told “your samsung smart tv got even better” or some shit like that. Even if they actively removed features and or apps got unsupportet. You know after like 2 years or so.

Like fuck it. It still works as regular ass TV till this date. But the whole software and update experience was so shit that i never bought a samsung device ever again. Wait, thats a lie. I bought two of those 25 buck dumbphones from them. They were pretty good for what they were, ngl. But apart from that Samsung is a big no-no for me and i get proven right year after year.

My guy,

i said mobile compute power is insane. You had a somewhat sensible take why it may not transfer to a laptop. I gave you hard facts why your concerns arent applicable. Instead of just admitting you misjudged the resolution differences you mansplain to me some irrelevant things. Yeah, the power draw is going to be different. Its a laptop, no shit. It also has tons of more space for a battery.

You are just talking out of your ass. Instead of looking up the wikipedia page for 2 minutes.

/Its also a released product. Reviews and benchmarks are readily available… Like what. Just look it up.

So if you’re running a larger format display with a higher resolution, cut that by quite a bit.

Funny thing is that the Macbook Neo needs to drive less pixels:

Iphone 16 Pro: 2868 x 1320

Macbook Neo: 2408 x 1506

Also only at 60hz and not 120hz. While having magnitudes more thermal mass to cool with the prolonged high performance bursts. I dont have any worries about its performance in its intented market segment. And yes, its running MacOS which still runs pretty well with a Macbook Air M1-M3 with 8GB of RAM.

I mean modern smartphone SOC compute power is insane. That wont be a bottleneck for a long time. If i had to make a guess they dont even have to go the hardware failure route for planned obsolescence. That measily 8GB of shared ram for both CPU and GPU will take care of that. Just add a bit more shiny UI bloat with every update and this thing will get slow af at some point in the future. Takes care of all the entry level M1 Airs too…

consilidation of information, resources and potentially “the narrative”.

oh, for the user you mean?

• it can be better than the enshittified search machines unless the llm decides to lie
• middle managers need to write less emails themselves
• some programmers deem it enough to write some boilerplate code while deskilling themselves
• scammers and slop creators love it
