@Techmeme@techhub.socialWalmart starts selling Macs directly for the first time, partnering with Apple to offer M1 MacBook Air for $699; Apple stopped selling M1 MacBook Air itself (Chance Miller/9to5Mac)

@larsfosdal@mastodon.socialI wish #SteelSeries would get their finger out and properly support the Apple M1/M2/M3 silicon with their GG engine. So annoying to not be able to reprogram your mouse buttons!
@digitalnaiv@mastodon.socialiPad: Für mich seit einigen Jahren keine Notwendigkeit mehr. Mir genügt die Kombination von Macbook Air mit M1-Chip und iPhone 13 Pro vollkommen. Meine Begierde nach einem neuen Gerät könnte geweckt werden, wenn in der nächsten Generation von iPhone und MacBook wirklich für mich nützliche KI-Funktionalität drin wäre. Denk ich (derzeit) an #Siri in der Nacht ...
@keithwilson@fediphilosophy.orgThe standout figure here is that the new #MacBookAir with #M3 processor has 13✗ the processing power of the fastest Intel MacBook Air. Big improvements over the M1 and M2 too, but if you still have an Intel MacBook, it’s time to upgrade.
@pegdhcp@social.linux.pizzaBöylece, çöpe atacak param olsa bile, bir daha Mac almamak için sağlam bir gerekçe çıktı...

@robpike@hachyderm.ioLooking for ideas. Apple offered me $500 for my old laptop, but when I sent it in they say, "Oh, a scratch. We'll give you $100." There's no way a perfectly functioning and upgraded M1 MacBook Air is worth only $100. So I got it back.
Now I'm looking for a good home for it. I don't want money, I want it to have a good life. Two conditions:
1. It has to help make the world a better place.
2. I'm not shipping it, so the transfer has to be local to…

@juandesant@astrodon.socialAnd to whomever at Apple was/were reponsible/s for the fast opening and no-blanking screen additions on (at least) the M1 Pro in Sonoma, thanks!
This is finally an experience comparable with Tiger to Snow Leopard on a PowerBook G4… and I think that says it all, both good and bad.
Maybe @… knows who to address this compliment to…

@larsfosdal@mastodon.socialMacOS scroll settings are not separated between touchpad settings and mouse wheel settings.
This leads to idiotic behavior for either the mouse or the touchpad, since the so called natural setting for the touchpad is not natural for the mouse, and vise versa,.
I regret getting the MBP M1. Once there is a proper ARM Windows laptop, I will get rid of the PoS OS that Apple is forcing you to use.
And what is with the special Apple keyboards? Another tool for locking you into th…
