Its not underpowered for average users, but it’s not meant for professional uses beyond basic office work.

Similar to the mini they offer the Studio which doesn’t have a monitor built in https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/compare/?modelList=Mac-studio-2023,Mac-mini-M2

Then for the higher end uses they offer a more typical tower format https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/

Finamp for anyone using Jellyfin https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp

Desync still isn’t fully fixed, although in Nov 2023 they announced stsrting a networking codebase rebuild to try and fix it so maybe in the future it will be.

In 2022 they announced they were putting desync on hold due to other higher priority issues.

This is the same team that said they couldn’t add Slayer at launch because their brand new engine made it too difficult to add

So if a poster from the Star Trek Lemmy moves to Facebook Groups and brings along a small fraction of the userbase, is it fair to say the Star Trek Lemmy community migrated to Facebook?

I’d say actual daily users are less than 10k

So 100 times bigger, by your own estimate?

They created a new community, sure. The reddit community didn’t migrate though.

Then its not a migration, which is what we’re talking about.

If you’re happy leaving a group of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands in some communities for a group of 100 that’s cool, but don’t spin it as a successful migration.

The rest of the world didn’t even realize we left.

I just checked the Star Trek community on reddit and it’s still up with 753k members and 189 online. The Lemmy versions I can find are a fraction of that.

The idea of Lemmy is great but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking big communities actually migrated.

You don’t have to walk away, you can migrate.

We tried that with Lemmy and many great communities only have one or two people posting consistently.

Most people don’t care about behind the scenes

I’ve never bought a new “cutting edge” product that’s cost more then what it should, and I’m pretty into technology/computers

What products specifically are you considering?

But also, you mentioned Arch, so I got to ask, are pantyhose conformable?

They’re socks

I think it’s still worth doing so your phone isn’t rapidly trying to connect and disconnect from nearby cell towers as you ascend and descend. Maybe there’s already protections in place for this case but it makes sense that it could add a lot of unnecessary strain on certain cell towers.

50% margins aren’t that high for a “cutting edge” low volume product.

Civic cars are high volume with an established market and consumer base.

Not everything is an apples to apples comparison.

I’ll never buy one because I use Arch BTW, but there needs to be a profit incentive for new tech to be developed, otherwise we get rehashes of the same old same old.

I’m still waiting on the Switch Pro that’s been clickbaited by so many “insiders” and analysts over the years.

Have you seen how fast car thieves can steal cars now? Through repeater attacks or special devices, they can be gone in 60 seconds.

Car alarms only deter the most casual of thieves.

Loving the upvotes on this Lemmy World, let’s make sure we apply it to political discussions as well!

I’m not that worried about my laptop in regards to physical access because I don’t usually leave it in public unattended for long.

My car? Sometimes that thing sits in a parking spot or paid garage for weeks when traveling. I also leave it unattended in public most times I go brick and mortar shopping.

GOG lost my trust with the Hitman situation, and lashing out at customers that were leaving reviews detailing the situation.

They also sneakily updated the page to mention the DRM after people had bought the game.
