Stuttering and texture pop-in makes me immediately wonder if your SSD shit itself.
Maybe see if there’s anything in the system logs and/or SMART data that indicates that might be a problem?
The $95 million is about nine hours of profit for Apple
I’m sure this will stop them from ever doing something like this again.
(Also I can’t wait for my $0.48 check three years from now.)
It makes a gross kind of sense: the foods with vitamin C are going to be fresh fruits and vegetables. Which are fairly expensive, relative to cheap processed food that doesn’t happen to contain vitamin C.
So, this is about how poor people are getting a disease that’s caused by not being able to buy what is somewhat more expensive foods and sounds properly peak capitalism to me.
4, if we’re including the guy with enough explosives to take out several small countries.
The BBC rss feed I’m subscribed to is pretty high volume, but it’s also very thorough.
US yes, maps no.
There are less dumb dumbphones that do a bit more, but I went for quite literally phone-calls-and-sms-only.
I have navigation in the car that works fine, so I personally don’t need that, and am using an iPod, so I don’t need any media functionality.
The camera is shit, but again, if I’m going somewhere specifically to take pictures then I’ve got a reasonable DSLR.
Like I said, not for everyone but works great for what I want and makes it where I basically spend zero time on the internet unless I explicitly sit down at my desk.
I’m with you on phone reduction, and I’m closing in on like 8 months of using a dumbphone.
If you’re really serious about removing distractions, a Nokia that feels like it fell out of 1996 is a shockingly good way to do it.
A bit harsh, perhaps, for a lot of people and I won’t deny there’s a lot of compromises you have to make, but if your goal is to reduce distractions and be in the present, it’s pretty much the gold standard.
No social media, no group messages, no email, no push notifications, no advertisements masquerading as ‘important’, nothing. If you want me you can call or text, and if you don’t want to do either then I guess whatever it was turned out to not actually be that important anyways.
Also mine lasts like 10 days on a charge, and doesn’t cost $1000.
My compromise to survive in modern society was an iPad mini. It’s loaded down with all the crap my phone used to have, but it’s also something I do not take to bed or out of the house, so I can still do banking apps and totp 2fa, and take and send pictures via email and all that stuff without it being a device that’s attached to my hip most of the time and thus in easy reach of noise and nonsense.
Not shocking? There’s probably zero ROI on bothering to invest in R&D for consumer gear.
You can’t sell enough premium drives to offset the fact they’re down to commodity pricing now: the market for a $45 1tb SSD is much larger than a $100 one, and frankly, I wouldn’t be on the premium side of that business either.
High-spec big and expensive enterprise drives are 100% the way to go.
Same thing already has happened with GPUs and CPUs, so storage being next is not surprising.
