Reply to Some Apple Employees Seriously Concerned About Mixed-Reality Headset as Announcement Draws Closer by chrisdh79
ITT: People that forget that it took Apple 20 years to get back to launching hit products. Most of their life they’ve tested niche products at high prices before pursuing mass market. The frequently launched products too early for the market and abandoned them.
Even if these fail, I’m happy to see apple taking some risk instead of just printing money with incremental improvements to watches, phones, and iPads for the last decade. They can afford a miss but the upside is huge if they get it right in 2-3 generations.
If you think these are too expensive, you’re not the target audience.

How does anything I said make the US the good guys? It’s irrelevant to my post about long term resource scarcity planning. If anything it makes the US the bad guys lol.

It should be noted, as with oil, the US policy on this stuff is to be the last country with reserves.
Edit: In case it’s unclear, the US prefers to import oil and precious metals instead of digging ours up first. It’s not ONLY environmental or cost, though these are significant factors. We can always extract finite resources in the future when other countries have sold theirs or during wartime.

Yeah, mine jumped $200 this year, and $250 last year for no increase in services.

Reply to comment by _Xaradox_ in Discord is slowing down some Nvidia graphics cards - A recent update has introduced a bug that slows down memory clocks on some Nvidia GPUs. by speckz
Of course not, but to say it’s 1% performance hit is just as much a random guess based on that guy being cool with voice software causing clock issues on GPUs, which it should NEVER do. If you’re running memory bandwidth constrained tasks it absolutely can be MORE than 2.9% if you’re starving the GPU.

It’s not the fact it’s insignificant, it’s the fact they’re causing an issue like this at all. Also 6800/7000 is a 2.9% loss of memory performance, because math.
That’s why you’re getting downvoted.

Reply to comment by alc4pwned in The Mac Pro is now Apple’s last machine with an Intel chip by pecika
I don’t disagree, I regularly buy $200k servers for work. My point is you can’t feign surprise that a high end device depreciates aggressively. A $50k desktop has 30k of premium. A 10k desktop would likely have 80% of the performance. You made the deliberate choice to buy a system way above and beyond the price/performance curve that will be shredded by the $2500 midline system a generation or two out.
It depreciates faster when you buy that far off the curve. You’re throwing a lol like I don’t know shit here, when you can’t see beyond the context of them existing.

And to clarify for everyone. Vintage means apple might have the parts on hand to fix it, except a few states that require it. Obsolete means apple will not stock hardware to repair them.

Yes, you’re correct. They’re a 2-stage bomb more or less. A small fission reaction is used to trigger the hydrogen fusion reaction.

Check the line estimates before you go. 2 hours domestic, 3 hours international and you’re usually golden, I’ve almost never had a bad experience at Newark if I had a little bit of buffer.

And it’s a DEEP learning benchmark, which is a heavy focus on neural networks.

Yes, some alarm bells went off for me too. 23 is a bit young to lose track of someone and have to fly to another country to blindly search them out.
If this is a romantic interest OP. take a long look at your situation before you do this. There are better ways to find someone than stalking them to another continent.
