When you are 0/2 why go for 3…

Are you narrating the recordings?

The whole gig economy / hustle culture was deliberately abused by companies treating people like consultants except with low wages and certainly zero benefits. People are taking all the downside and businesses are completely covered from any liability. It has to end somewhere.

Nah it’s a shitty tech that everyone wants to make happen. It could completely disappear and the tech world.would be no worse off in any way at all. The world could do without it’s absurd draw on resources. And yes I am aware that the large power draw from mining is mostly gone. It’s idle resource usage is sad

So the blockchain supporting $Trump makes it so much more trustworthy?

Digital currency without “blockchain”, say it ain’t so! This is why I think it might actually work. It’s not based on some kind of Rube Goldberg experiment to run the world power into nothingness.

Clearly you are not the target audience. For IT pros and tech enthusiasts regularly rebuilding machines and running numerous diagnostic tools from boot, the ability to quickly bootstrap a machines is a massive timesaver. dd is slower and may mean carrying around a lot of usb sticks, something these people all graduated from.

X86 configs were painful and fun. Knowing a wrong setting might destroy your monitor was the right amount of adrenaline.

Remember that time Canada and the USA banned Huawei for putting back doors in all their femtocells to sniff cellular traffic… Pepperidge far… Ahh who cares anymore as long as trump gets a kickback right…

Stop FUCKING giving social media access to your entire life.

Omg they solder the nvme. Disgusting.

Whoa I checked they use raw nand chips right on the main board. Certainly helps with size but you are totally locked in forever with that size (short of some serious soldering skills to replace)

At least you can replace it easier on the m4 mini

Agreed.i really want a powerful non dgpu high efficiency unit. The amd current gen don’t cut it and always pair with horrific bad wifi on laptops. Maybe Strix point?

Each to their own. Yes I am aware of what I posted. They (apple) make excellent hardware. I choose products that live on for years, not at the mercy of a closed environment. I want to do what I want with my hardware. We have different needs and I respect your choices.

I know it doesn’t have the efficiency of an m4 but…

Here's a more detailed comparison:

Intel Core Ultra 9 185H:
Pros:

Higher RAM speed (7467 MHz) and larger maximum memory (96 GB). 
More CPU threads (22) and supports multithreading. 
Supports more displays (4). 

Cons:

Higher power consumption compared to the M4. 
Higher price point compared to the M4 Mac Mini. 

Apple M4 (8-core CPU) in the M4 Mac Mini:
Pros:
Exceptional performance per watt (power efficiency). 
Lower price point and better value for the performance. 
Cons:
Lower RAM speed (6400 MHz) and smaller maximum memory (24 GB) compared to the Ultra 9 185H. 
Fewer CPU threads (8). 
Supports fewer displays (2). 


In summary: 
If you prioritize raw power, multi-threaded performance, and memory capacity, the Ultra 9 185H is the better choice. 

However, if you prioritize power efficiency, budget, and value for the money, the M4 Mac Mini is the more appealing option. 

Right. My point is that mac people pay absurd prices for their equipment. For what you listed that’s not amazing value. 512 ssd is a joke, that’s like 35$ wholesale for an nvme. I get that the ram inside the cpu is more expensive but my god they make bank on their hardware markup.

Love the idea but I hope the “stairs” on the page aren’t for humans. I have geisha feet just thinking about using those

The new 2025 laptops with 50xx gpus are exceedingly expensive. We’re talking MacBook pro with 32GB ram prices!
