You haven’t met the people I work with.

And as the OP stated, many PROfessional applications (especially in engineering) are not supported by macOS.

And many others are, so people that need them can use those ones. The point is, to go back to the comment I was replying to, that there are uses for computers with a powerful GPU that aren’t playing games.

Also, if they wanted to make the pro comparison, they would not have compared it to a GTX3080 but to NVIDIA’s Quattro line

And if they had stood up and said "the GPU is faster than a Quadro 6000" even most of the tech press would have stared at them blankly and then had to Google what the hell that was. But, I’m guessing, for most people that it matters to the conversion the other way is pretty well understood.

Or read the article and see that, no it’s actually about the machine as a whole.

What’s the point of having all that GPU power when you can’t play most of the popular games out there, games which actually require that power?

I think you’ll find that there’s a hint to the answer to your questions in the name. It’s for people that use their computer for their PROfession and need lists of graphics power.

You don’t actually know any of that

120Hz high refresh rate Mini LED screens that might wind up being the best panels you can purchase on a laptop anywhere

Or it might wind up being completely terrible and/or a major source of failure on the device like the butterfly keyboard. Who knows. All we know for sure right now is what Apple wants to tell us.

But no, let’s all just jump on board the Apple Hype express.

And rec’d the comment three times each somehow

Better. Sure. But honestly at that price 6 hours is still pretty awful. Make it 10+ and maybe we’ll talk.

The problem I always have with this whole genre is that they always fall back into the same tired old trope about the main character having an imaginary friend in the sky (or in one ridiculous case in his hat because of some golden disc he’d obviously planted or something. That one was too far fetched to be believable) with a bunch of rules for how everyone has to live their life. They just get a bit boring and ‘samey’.

Well, what you describe as Cultural Revolution 2.0 others might describe as heading off or putting a stop to CIA programs to undermine the government.

But, you know, Potato. Tomato.

When has that ever mattered?

If you weren’t being bled dry by the occupation no amount of not being welcome or it being unpopular at home would have made any difference. And the reality is it was only unpopular at home because of the cost in lives and materiel.

So why did America go running home from Afghanistan with its tail between its legs? There was no threat of them being ‘eliminated’ by the Taliban.

The things is that if they let me setup a Watch independently, especially with the new keyboard on it, I’d probably never buy another iPhone. But so long as they keep the Watch reliant on the Phone then I have to keep buying both.

Except that their workers have better pay and conditions. Not all Chinese manufacturing has to be the same.

I’ve had to replace heaps of them because the wires into the plug failed from being plugged in in my pocket as I walked around after just a couple of months. However I’ve had my Bluetooth headphones for over three years and they’re still going strong, without any battery issues.

Umm… you did. It was a direct quote from an earlier post of yours. They even said they were using your words.

Except the nature of the transaction there is that the grocery store is the customer for the manufacturers product and has already paid to buy them. Apple isn’t buying apps to sell on for a profit. They aren’t a grocery store.

Apple already got paid for the platform when I bought the phone, they shouldn’t get to unilaterally declare a right to have 30% of everyone else work as well.

For whatever reason the Verge’s battery test results are almost always way out of line with most reviewers and have been for a long time.

No. There’s a rumour about them working on some ARM chips for servers and they worked with Qualcomm on a tweaked version of the Snapdragon 8cx for the Surface Pro X, but they haven’t actually made any themselves.
