Technology@lemmy.world•Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC IndustryEnglish
586·6 days agoIn Europe the price it’s not that appealing, it’s €699 and because they “care about environment 😉” the €99 charger (which is almost mandatory for a new user) is sold separately.
At €798 for 256g/8g it’s not as good as the $599 they’re selling in the US.
If someone is price sensitive, can get 3-4 refurbished ThinkPads with better specs for that price and run Linux much easier without hoping on some volunteer wizard to reverse engineer the proprietary components

13·6 days agoI saw an unboxing for a TV for a Chinese market and it refused to start until the owner paired it with a Chinese phone otp for “age verification” 😉

You Should Know@lemmy.world•"US Person": is a red flag for financial institutions in Europe
0·7 days agoIt’s not because they banned us citizens. It’s because the us government is one of the few ones that wants to tax stuff that their citizens earned in other countries, so banks and similar they need to report wealth and income to the government

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Cybertruck Self-Destructs in Shallow Water… Leaving Questions About the Promised “Boat Mode”English
0·8 days agoThe vehicle is only for showing off and definitely not designed for real off-road use, but the driver caused most of the water damage by entering the flood at such high speed. You’re not supposed to wade at 20 mph unless you’re in a hovercraft
Really, it’s too slow. The 40 mins episodes could be condensed in 5 minutes shorts.
I rage quit during an episode where Kim Wexler asked “do you want a cup of tea?” And then proceeded of preparing it in FUCKING REAL TIME!!
Ok, it’s more cinematic, but usually when they do this they just take a cup prefilled behind the counter and move on, don’t need to show the whole process. Ok, probably it’s intentional, to show the detail how how empty and lonely were the cupboards but…
So, for me it’s too slow to be watched with full attention but at the same time there are too many important details that are shown “silently” to be watched while doing errands or something else

1·9 days agoThat is supposed to be even with Microsoft office, because it changes the fonts without warning and adjusts the margins according to the default printer. It’s not a format designed to be shared with other people

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•They're calling it the Trump Laptop. Highest quality. So affordable. We're making technology great again, folks.
0·11 days agoThat one I don’t understand. It’s just a gold colored Chinese phone from Alibaba. Probably they put more effort in designing the box than
designing the phone itselfchoosing the right tone of the gold color for the plastics. It takes 1 week of consultation with the manufacturer (ok, two weeks, because they need to explain how important that a gold wallpaper is set as default) and two months to import them. What are they waiting? Mr FIFA peace prize just want the money and deliver a “air” phone?

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599English
275·13 days agoConsider that this is an iPhone 16 in a MacBook shell, though. This gives you performance comparable a 5 years old used MacBook M1. It’s usable, but it’s designed to act as a gateway drug, you’ll immediately hit storage and memory limits and want to buy a more expensive one.
8gb of RAM in 2026 where most modern apps are made in electron and a basic text editor takes half gig to show a blank page is less than ideal

Technology@lemmy.world•Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the LawEnglish
1·13 days agoI wonder how the survey has been done?
Because if it has been done by phone, “do you want x to be banned if it continues to break the law?”, then it’s biased because X is historically used as a placeholder and only a ketamine addict could think that is a good idea to destroy a brand for that
Weird that a Wikipedia article reads like satire like that

12·15 days agoFFS, it’s not “Board of Peace”. It’s “Bored of Peace”!
How many times it needs to be repeated. It was a typo on the initial trump announcement, and all the MSM are republishing the typo verbatim.
It’s so obvious
