general

[terse dome]

yes

[copper tendon]

i mean ipads have had m series chips forever and no one put macos on it

[terse dome]

thats why its so broken

[terse dome]

we even had the dtk

a12z

[copper tendon]

the dtk had an A series chip and no one put ipados or ios on it

[raven pine]

are they different

in some way

or the same

i lowkey want a mac neo

[copper tendon]

the chance someone gets full macos on the 16 pro is about as good as someone getting full macos on the ipad

[slim nova]

is this with a jailbreak?

[compact cobalt]

I wonder if the Neo SSD is soldered

[desert cairn]

of course it is

[outer tundra]

100%

[desert cairn]

dosdude bought one and said hes going to try and upgrade it to 1tb

[compact cobalt]

M4 mini is still unbeaten

[compact cobalt]

because of course he is lol

[outer tundra]

I mean people like that YT guy Louis Rossman can upgrade any MB

[desert cairn]

yeah him and dosdude

[outer tundra]

but it's just overly complicated for any normal person to do

[compact cobalt]

Eh, Rossman is moreso into repairs

[desert cairn]

i really like what they did with the mac mini and studio

its just slotted

[outer tundra]

I'm not even good with building PCs

[desert cairn]

so you can buy a chinese clone ssd

[compact cobalt]

He’s incredibly skilled, but I think Dosdude is more capable with upgrades

[outer tundra]

so MB repairs and upgrades are out of my league

[compact cobalt]

I’m kind of thinking of doing this with mine

With the M5, what's the neural accelerator thing

Don't the other chips already have that sort of thing?

[desert cairn]

yeah

since A11

A12 got a good neural engine though

the A11 one was enough for face id and thats it

[compact cobalt]

Didn't the A11 only have like a 2 core neural engine?

[desert cairn]

yeah

[compact cobalt]

Something like that

Ah

[desert cairn]

and obv when llms became a thing apple made them much much better

people are running small models on the neural engine now

so that seems like a cool thing in the future

[compact cobalt]

See, when I run ollama on my M4 mini, does it use the GPU or the neural stuff?

[desert cairn]

gpu

[compact cobalt]

Figured

[desert cairn]

im not quite sure about mlx models though

its something apple silicon optimized but idk what it actually is

[compact cobalt]

oof 300$ for a Mac mini SSD

not happening

[coarse wedge]

some guy on twitter did

with an ipad

natively

[copper tendon]

who

source for this info

[jagged onyx]

how cool is this video!!

ah nvm i cant post it

lol

[worthy quail]

macbook neo huh

[ashen basin]

Eh

[fossil rapids]

I’m going to get M5 Pro 18 core with 64 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD

[molten lance]

There’s no way they just released an A series MacBook

Some iPads are now more powerful than Macs

[slim nova]

the colors looks nice

[worthy quail]

In fact, it’s up to 50 percent faster for everyday tasks like web browsing,1 and up to 3x faster when running on-device AI workloads like applying advanced effects to photos,2 compared to the bestselling PC with the latest shipping Intel Core Ultra 5.

[worthy quail]

lmfao

[fossil rapids]

Looking at the competition, Neo doesn’t look that bad

[ashen basin]

Dumbest name ever wtf

[worthy quail]

ewww

that font

[winter meadow]

I want the Neo idk why

[ashen basin]

Idk why either

[slim nova]

butter macbook

the color matched keyboard looks cool

[glossy bear]

cause that's why they sell their products

you really probably don't want it

[devout stream]

cuz of its color, maybe.

[glossy bear]

you have no reason to get it

[ashen basin]

The only thing that looks good is the fact that there’s no notch

[winter meadow]

I didn’t even see the ad lol

[glossy bear]

they just make you want it

[winter meadow]

It’s cheap and I’m broke

[glossy bear]

fair

[worthy quail]

"buy our product becuase it works good with our other product"

[winter meadow]

And macs are awesome

[slim nova]

thick ahh bezels tho

[ashen basin]

fr

[glossy bear]

yea bezels terrible

[glossy bear]

and then you can't replace one without replacing the other

[ashen basin]

8GB RAM 💀💀💀

[glossy bear]

so now you can't afford to stop using our products!

[compact cobalt]

the bezels are fine???

[glossy bear]

[winter meadow]

Bet Its gonna run a diet version of Tahoe

[glossy bear]

- apple, probably

[slim nova]

it probably is

[compact cobalt]

y'all act like the bezels being anything bigger than 0.01mm is a dealbreaker

[glossy bear]

yerp

[compact cobalt]

nobody cares

[glossy bear]

i care

Who tf cares if we shit on the shitty macbook

[compact cobalt]

You're shitting on it for the dumbest reason

[worthy quail]

this macbook is probably alright but i would still not get it

[ashen basin]

who cares 😭😭😭😭

[mighty bronze]

Which could be used by oclp to install it on intel macs

[polar python]

What

No

[winter meadow]

No

Different architecture

[mighty bronze]

bummer

Welp we do have tahoe on intel

on some

[slim nova]

yes i love shitting on big companies

[winter meadow]

Yes but barely

[mighty bronze]

but the cheap macbook tahoe is for arm only

[mighty bronze]

plus the cheap macbooks are all arm while the oclp tahoe is just the intel tahoe so big differences prob

[fossil rapids]

iPhone 16 Pro has a 6-core GPU and the MacBook Neo has a 5-core GPU

Even the chip is binned

[odd cargo]

Macbook neo is such a great deal

Tf

If its 600 euros

Im getting it

[slim nova]

💀

[worthy quail]

its a pretty decent deal compared to other laptops at the same price

[slim nova]

the pink neo looks pretty nice too

[odd cargo]

Look what i have smh

[compact cobalt]

My mom might pick one up lol

[slim nova]

very pretty

[slim nova]

good for her

[worthy quail]

i is that a chromebook with cachyos 😭

[slim nova]

pray

[worthy quail]

i have like a 16" chromebook and its absolute ewaste

[winter meadow]

I’ll open a gofundme to get a Neo

[full shoal]

My Mac is eol on sequoia. It’s a good Mac though I love it

[odd cargo]

Teah

[odd cargo]

I pray on downfall of chromebooks

[worthy quail]

tahoe is worse anyways

[slim nova]

i thought chromebooks are ok?

[worthy quail]

no

well

okay

they CAN have competent specs

[odd cargo]

16h on mac is so bad

[worthy quail]

90% of them have intel celerons

[odd cargo]

My chromebook lasts 18h

[compact cobalt]

I kind of want to downgrade to Sequoia on my M4 mini, but I don't really trust Time Machine

[slim nova]

arm chromebooks when

[worthy quail]

now

[odd cargo]

There are

[slim nova]

they are???

[odd cargo]

But they are ewaste

[slim nova]

shitty software support

[odd cargo]

Cuz most of them are on mediatek

[worthy quail]

they are more ewaste than intel chroembooks

[slim nova]

neo is a great price for chromebooks replacement then

[odd cargo]

Yup

[odd cargo]

I mean mediatek chromebooks make sense

If all you do is watch yt and use docs

20h of battery life

[worthy quail]

chromebooks like that do not come close to $500usd

not a comparison

[odd cargo]

My chromebook was 10 euros

[slim nova]

how much are chromebooks? the best ones

[slim nova]

💀

[odd cargo]

Also new battery aswell

[worthy quail]

the BEST ones with core i5s and i7s are like $500

[odd cargo]

95% health

[slim nova]

then the neo is a extremely good deal

[fossil rapids]

$500 is overpriced, most people don’t actually spend that much on a laptop. Most people I see are spending like $300 on the cheapest thing they find at Walmart

[full shoal]

How so ?

[slim nova]

considering the performance per $

[odd cargo]

Hust buy 10 euro one

I needed one for docs

And AMAZING BATTERY

by amazing i mean 10h atleast

[slim nova]

i mean slap a big apple logo and people has trust

[slim nova]

chromebooks are this cheap ??

nvm intel celeron

[worthy quail]

Yea and they suck

[wary badge]

Anyone work from home have an office chair rec for me

[worthy quail]

But people aren’t buying them with core i5s

The most common Chromebook is an Intel celeron

[slim nova]

this lowk torture from these big companies

[worthy quail]

And they are about $200

Or cheaper

[fossil rapids]

They visit Google.com and type what’s the score for today’s hockey game then go on Facebook.com for few minutes and wellsfargo.com to check account balance and that’s most people’s use of laptops

[slim nova]

then use pixel desktop mode for that

[odd cargo]

Or god saves us amd

I had amd one

It would overheat on charging

[worthy quail]

amd Chromebooks are EVIL

[odd cargo]

It was so bad

[odd cargo]

They have special place in HELL

[slim nova]

can’t imagine the driver support

[worthy quail]

every AMD Chromebook the school had would encounter graphics issues

[odd cargo]

after 2 weeks i wanted to throw it to trash

[odd cargo]

LMAO

ACTUALLY

COOLStar made DRIVERS

FOR IT

FOR WINDOWS

[slim nova]

WHAT

[odd cargo]

IM BEING FR

[fossil rapids]

They would need to buy pixels for that

[odd cargo]

BUT HE SAID, its so bad that they are free

LMAOOO

[full shoal]

Are chrome books any good?

[worthy quail]

No

[slim nova]

LAMO

[odd cargo]

10 euros ones yes

[fossil rapids]

if all you do is open chrome then sure

[worthy quail]

Yours looks like it was a school model

[odd cargo]

It definitely was

[slim nova]

pixels are cheap

[odd cargo]

If you need type writer with crazy battery then yes

[slim nova]

i wish my school allowed for laptops

[odd cargo]

Mine kinda does

[fossil rapids]

my school enforced laptops or iPad

[terse dome]

i didnt know these bars were meant to be filled

[fossil rapids]

If you don’t have it, that’s a detention for not being prepared

[slim nova]

wtf is that temp difference tmr

[terse dome]

dont you love the earth having mood swings

[fossil rapids]

They made us shamelessly walk to the library to get a loaner

[slim nova]

atleast y’all have laptops we can only use ipads

[odd cargo]

What if you forget to charge it

[slim nova]

we love the earth

[odd cargo]

WE HAVE NORHING

i just carry my laptop cuz why not

[fossil rapids]

There are outlets, that’s fine

[odd cargo]

To write fanfictions for ao3

[slim nova]

THEY BANNED LAPTOPS, EACH LAPTOP FOUND WILL BE CONFISCATED

[odd cargo]

LMAOOO

[slim nova]

learnt that the hard way

[odd cargo]

we have computer classes

[full shoal]

I need something for my son who broke his Mac Book pro

[odd cargo]

Did you get it back

[manic stratus]

My unpopular opinion is they are actually decent enough machines assuming you don't get the dirt cheap ones. You can run linux applications on them and most people live in their browser anyways

[odd cargo]

they are decent as type writers

[fossil rapids]

We could use whatever as long as it can open few school apps or the website. Even a phone is fine if it’s not an everyday thing

[slim nova]

yeah but two days without my main work machine with all my code on it was tortuous

[odd cargo]

Telling from my ezperience

[odd cargo]

I bet

[slim nova]

mf practically stole my mac

[odd cargo]

I would NOT HAVE GIVEN IT

[copper tendon]

does the neo have a haptic trackpad?

[odd cargo]

no

[copper tendon]

it doesnt look like it does

[odd cargo]

It doesnt sadly

[slim nova]

imagine it runs ipados

[full shoal]

Ok thank you

[odd cargo]

Just get used one in decent shape, so ur son learns to value things

[slim nova]

why they advertising multi touch gestures like it’s brand new

[wicked carbon]

Bro. so it's macOS on an a series processor

[fossil rapids]

My school temporarily banned Apple Watches because people would use it to cheat but iPads and laptops were allowed for Desmos. You can just as easily open another app on the iPad so never got the logic behind the ban

[wicked carbon]

why can't we just have macos on an ipad then

c'mon

[odd cargo]

Cuz no

[wicked carbon]

bro, it's basically an ipad with a trackpad and keyboard

[slim nova]

that’d blur the line too much

[odd cargo]

Ok so

ipad

Is ipad

Not macbook

Smh

[mighty bronze]

because then they couldnt sell the macbooks simple as that

[wicked carbon]

a series mac already blurred lines

[manic stratus]

Because fuck you is why. Apple doesn't want macos to have touch screens. And that's all ther is to it.

[odd cargo]

Pretty much yeah

[slim nova]

still a mac

[wicked carbon]

8gb memory, makes sense

[mighty bronze]

Doesn't take a genius to realize that smh

[fossil rapids]

Apple wants to make sure they are distinct product lines you are forced to buy both :) double the money

[wicked carbon]

it comes with a power adapter???

[wicked carbon]

sick

[odd cargo]

20w

[polar python]

in 2040 we will have an a12 bootrom exploit and people will run macos on the iphone xs based off that fuckin mac mini dev kit that was basically just an a12

🙏 trust

[slim nova]

20w?? i eat that for breakfast

[odd cargo]

Wtf is this battery

😭😭😭

[wicked carbon]

still nice. Also, only the more expensive model has touchID

that's annoying

[odd cargo]

Well touch id is fine

Sad thought

[fossil rapids]

Pros come with 70 or 96 now. Why not just do nice and even like 100

[odd cargo]

We will see how much apple charges for it in EU

[fossil rapids]

Like it doesn’t cost Apple that much extra just to simplify it go only 100 watts

Being a self proclaimed student is fine because they don’t check

I dont know why he just can’t use the eol hi Sierra iMac in his room for everything why he needs a laptop for school is beyond me. I never had a laptop when I was in high school and he’s only in the eighth grade

[fossil rapids]

I think they check for military discount but it’s slightly better than edu store

[wary badge]

@half compass

[polar python]

theyd have to make a brand new charger and sku and shit all for basically 0 benefit

[alpine spoke]

Why they not include 2 real USB C ports
Only 1 real usb c port on the MacBook neo

[fossil rapids]

I mean they could’ve just started with it

[copper tendon]

https://www.apple.com/welcomescreen/ilife/iweb-3/

[viral plinth]

Does the MacBook neo even have a selfie cam because I can’t see it

[naive ermine]

cuz if they didn't really cheap out in some areas it would cannibalize macbook air sales

[fossil rapids]

when they upgraded from 67 to 70. Apple claims the 70 watt is optimized for MacBook to provide best results while keeping safe output

[polar python]

67

sorry

[ashen basin]

Ur not sorry

[polar python]

Im not ur right

[naive ermine]

walmart was still selling M1 MBPs up to a few months ago and the neo smokes it

[fossil rapids]

Are Apple chargers GaN?

[half compass]

are they actually real

[fossil rapids]

They still look so big compared to Chinese cubes on Amazon

How does the neo compare to m1 air

[half compass]

[wary badge]

I also have morals and self respect

[half compass]

slightly better but it's an iphone chip so displays are limited

[wary badge]

Can u ship me some pablos👉👈

[polar python]

yeah thats why u use zyns sure buddy

smoke a cig like a real man

[alpine spoke]

In terms of performance since both started at 8gb of ram

[wary badge]

I still do sometimes but i finally kicked sober cigs let me live vro

[naive ermine]

A18 on paper is 30% faster than M1. You could have upgraded MBA to more ram, A18 has it fused to the SOC.
both are passively cooled and MBA has more thermal mass.

[half compass]

it would probably get seized by customs somehow

😭😭

[wary badge]

Im actually going to end it all

Why rnt they shipping to the us anymore

[polar python]

Can u wait till i get my apartment

[half compass]

us customs are fucking weird

With 16GB of ram and 512gb of storage

[half compass]

i only see 5

is there one up his ass

[naive ermine]

neo has same amount of RAM as 2015 macbook and that one had a backlit keyboard 😭

[half compass]

it's meant for chromebook users

and cheap windows laptop users

[untold helm]

https://tenor.com/view/raid-loot-gif-3870854127904735067

[alpine spoke]

Weren’t 2015 MacBooks also unofficially upgradable with ssd adapters

[half compass]

or like people who travel a lot and have a more powerful mac at home

i guess

[untold helm]

2010 Mac Pro has the same amount of ram as the bleeding edge MacBook Pro

[naive ermine]

no I get it, i'm probably getting a neo. and i understand they literally can't put more ram on an a18 without retooling. but the cheap outs are kinda funny

[untold helm]

Remember the current economy with ram prices

[half compass]

yeah im probably gonna get one as well

[untold helm]

Though they definitely should have gone with 12Gb

[half compass]

i wonder if they're upgradable

[chrome peak]

check ur foreskin

[half compass]

like nand wise

[untold helm]

Or at least made it a option

[alpine spoke]

Also what chip is the base iPad going to get

[half compass]

sorry i dont see a cigarette i just see cheese

[untold helm]

A17

Idk

[half compass]

(A17 doesn't exist)

maybe A18

[chrome peak]

Does apple still do the X stuff

Like the A8X

[alpine spoke]

But the the iPad mini 7 would be inferior

[half compass]

i think the last one was A10X

so no I don't think so

actually

[alpine spoke]

Isn’t A18 better than A17 Pro

[half compass]

i think A12X is real

[half compass]

what

it's like

the same

ish

maybe like 20% better single core i think

[winter meadow]

It is

[alpine spoke]

It’s also binned a17 pro with 1 less gpu core

[naive ermine]

next gen will come in 8-12 months with A19 and it'll have 12GB as an option

the macbook neo is so cute

id never buy one but it looks nice

[ornate latch]

Windows Server 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

absolute goyslop

[simple drift]

chat do i get a m2 pro or m4 mbp

[worthy garden]

I will find you.

[red hinge]

just buy used m2 mba

i don't think the neo is worth it with 8gb of RAM (and considering used options)

[simple drift]

^^^^^^

[simple drift]

^^^^

[simple drift]

guys what chip is more worth the money

[red hinge]

its a fair bit cheaper than base model M1 for me, with students discount

[red hinge]

Ryzen 7 8745HS

[simple drift]

no

m2p or m4

mbp

14"

512gb or 1tb idk yet

and idk if ill get 16gb or 24gb of ram

prob 24

if i can

🙏

[red hinge]

M2 Pro benefits mostly from more GPU cores

its like how M1 Pro has 2x the GPU performance as M2

[simple drift]

doesnt it get better multicore cpu too

[red hinge]

idk probably

[simple drift]

hmm

m2p is probably cheaper too

[outer tundra]

I'd recommend 24GB RAM minimum

things will run great with that

[terse dome]

in multicore perf i think only the m4 finally caught up with the m1 pro

[red hinge]

16gb is okay for basic tasks

which is what the neo is meant for

im still using a 16gb laptop for intensive stuff so

[outer tundra]

yes, but I didn't realize how much better 24GB is on a Macbook Pro until I got it

[red hinge]

yea

24gb is nice

[outer tundra]

for me 16GB of memory is always actively in use

[red hinge]

didn't even bother to set up swap

[simple drift]

i need to deal with fuckass logic pro ram hoarding and like too many plugins

[red hinge]

im too lazy

[simple drift]

so i need the ram

[outer tundra]

and the rest is cached unless I'm performing intensive tasks

[red hinge]

get 64gb macbook pro

[simple drift]

ill probably get
m2 pro mbp 14"
512gb storage

24gb

ram

[copper tendon]

would you guys use windows 11 home for a server

[simple drift]

i think

[simple drift]

no

[red hinge]

works

[spark sluice]

i feel like a18 pro will struggle w macos

[outer tundra]

no

[spark sluice]

idk i just have the feeling

[simple drift]

we'll see

[outer tundra]

maybe LTSC

[copper tendon]

what about windows server

[outer tundra]

but Windows is turning to shit by Microslop with Windows 12 soon so

I'd recommend something else

what are you looking to use it for?

if it's a NAS/Plex server use a dedicated NAS Linux build

better storage protection with raid 0 and stuff

[red hinge]

LMAO

oh well

this is to be expected

[outer tundra]

it's similar to M2 with less GPU cores I think

[simple drift]

this is pro vs air too

so

[outer tundra]

which is what I am using now

[red hinge]

its the M2 Pro

[red hinge]

mbp with normal M2 would just be the same

[hard comet]

first time x10

[red hinge]

even the M1 Pro beats it in GPU

[hard comet]

this shit feels crazy istg

[outer tundra]

same as A18 but less GPU cores

[red hinge]

i think M2 is slightly more powerful than A18 Pro

[simple drift]

this is what im using rn

[outer tundra]

so probably worse multithreading

[simple drift]

its falling apart and too slow for what i need

i need an upgrade

[outer tundra]

well

[simple drift]

yea

a18 pro is like m1 level

ish

[outer tundra]

your first mistake was buying a MBA

[red hinge]

performance is same-ish

[outer tundra]

I would always recommend MBP over MBA

for fans

[simple drift]

thats not an issue

its the cpu

[red hinge]

provided that you get the 12 cores M2 Pro

[simple drift]

and age

and

damage

[outer tundra]

M1 is powerful

[simple drift]

m1 is too slow for what i need

[outer tundra]

I have one in my iPad Pro 5

[red hinge]

its the sustained performance that makes it different

passive cooling so the mba loses

[simple drift]

ill look on ebay rq

and other places

[red hinge]

if you do a lot of photography like me, you might benefit better from the M2 Pro simply due to GPU

but you make soundcloud rap tracks so CPU is better here

so

get the M5

[simple drift]

theres like

zero

24gb m2 pros

[simple drift]

❌

i do not

[red hinge]

im considering getting the M1 Pro

i hate windows

[spark sluice]

used M2 macs cost as much as the A18P preorder price for me 😔

[simple drift]

fair

[red hinge]

and can't do any work on Linux

despite what the elitists say

[spark sluice]

less in some cases actually

[simple drift]

i could spend like even more and get ts

i cant find anything else other than base spec

16gb512gb

[outer tundra]

I have 24GB M2 😄

I will keep this MBP forever

[simple drift]

wait

[outer tundra]

last model with the touch bar

[simple drift]

was it just 16gb and 32gb

was there no 24gb m2 pro

[outer tundra]

I love a good touch bar

[outer tundra]

correct

[simple drift]

im searching for something that doesnt exist

[red hinge]

for me its used M1 base model

[outer tundra]

only M2 13" had a 24GB config and that was the full spec'd BTO model

[red hinge]

idk how it gets this bad

okay i do have students discount but ya see

[outer tundra]

what?

[spark sluice]

i mean that should be about equal anyways in theory

we will see

[red hinge]

the neo is much more efficient for the same amount of performance

[simple drift]

this is the ONLY one i could find

[red hinge]

AND i can have it new

😭

[simple drift]

and its a 16"

i want a 14"

[outer tundra]

I'd say

[coarse shard]

A18 pro chip not even the latest A19

[red hinge]

and it came with a 20W charger, think about it

you have a mac so efficient it doesn't need more than 20W

[outer tundra]

buy a MBP 14" over any MBA or MB Neo model

I don't know why they didn't just give the MB Neo a proper M1 or M2 chip

[half compass]

https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/coruna-powerful-ios-exploit-kit

[coarse shard]

Since it will give an iPhone 16 pro performance

[half compass]

this is cool

new ios exploit chain

[red hinge]

meanwhile my ryzen 7 tank eats 65W of power and still be power throttled

😭

same perf as M3 btw

and its not a gaming laptop, just a powerful business laptop

[outer tundra]

by the way

[outer tundra]

it might be time to hoard iOS 26.3 devices

[simple drift]

what COULD this theoretically lead to

[outer tundra]

starting with 26.4 Apple is going to try to prevent jailbroken devices from signing into iCloud

[iron zinc]

It might be time to hoard iOS 18 devices.

[red hinge]

as if ios 26 can be jailbroken in the next 5 years

[coarse shard]

lol

How do they even do that

[outer tundra]

semi-jb is possible

[coarse shard]

Can’t there be an tweak to bypass it

[half compass]

17.2.1 jailbreak

[simple drift]

😛

[outer tundra]

also 26 is already jailbroken

[half compass]

idk if it’s feasible on sptm devices

[outer tundra]

lol

[half compass]

i didn’t look too much into it

[outer tundra]

if you have an Apple TV 😄

[simple drift]

@half compass thoughts on this spec

should i change anything

[red hinge]

its been nearly 3 years since ios 17(.0.1) released and we still haven't got any exploits good enough to even do something

17.0 doesn't count

[outer tundra]

lol

[half compass]

maybe 1tb storage if you can afford it

[simple drift]

i dont need it

[gusty gulch]

@gilded rapids furniture shopping ahhhh

[simple drift]

i need ram not storage

[half compass]

then yeah it’s absolutely fine

[simple drift]

cool

[red hinge]

and apple hardened a lot of stuff in ios 17 and 18, beginning with the coretrust rewrite in 17.4

[simple drift]

1200 seems like a decent price for refurbed

[outer tundra]

we have A8 and A10 devices capable of going higher than 17.0

[red hinge]

i mean checkm8 is cool and all but on a device that can barely run ios 17 and 18 itself, i don't think there's much real use case

[half compass]

this is going to be so cool

we are so back (?)

[red hinge]

is it public

[gilded rapids]

ooooo

[half compass]

the malware samples yeah

[gilded rapids]

I got most of my stuff from marketplace

😭

[red hinge]

oh good

[outer tundra]

for the iPad 6 and 7 it's still useful and also for ATVHD+4K for Kodi

some iPad Pro models

[red hinge]

nvidia shield

[copper tendon]

is the macbook neo worth it or would you buy a used air

[outer tundra]

I have two of these myself. Best budget Plex server.

[red hinge]

you can just go to the play store and grab kodi and it runs really good even on a 10 years old low end SoC

[half compass]

i think some malware samples are public?

[red hinge]

and stremio and retroarch

apple tv jailbreak is pointless when android tv exist

[half compass]

https://github.com/matteyeux/coruna

[red hinge]

we're so back

[half compass]

just now found out about this

[red hinge]

the 10 people on ios 17.2 will benefit from this

[rigid night]

watching the macbook neo introduction

[red hinge]

finally

[half compass]

we might be LMAO

[rigid night]

god dayum apple can do cgi

[hazy lagoon]

Should I upgrade from right to left?

[rigid night]

nah

well

[red hinge]

the m2 is better in every aspects btw

[rigid night]

this

[red hinge]

its also thinner than the neo

for some reason

[half compass]

@jaunty hinge your waiting is paying off

[rigid night]

honestly very much see myself getting a new in a few months when it goes on sale

[hazy lagoon]

I truly thought the neo could beat my m2 macbook pro

[half compass]

after 2 years

[outer tundra]

right to left? lol

[gusty gulch]

there's so many options 😭

[outer tundra]

that isn't an upgrade

[gusty gulch]

how do I choose

[red hinge]

stupid how touch id is only available on 512gb models

[copper tendon]

you'd just lose features

[outer tundra]

good thing is I think M2 will continue to be supported into the 2030s because of this

[desert cairn]

Mfw we have WebKit exploits out in public now

[rigid night]

yeah thats pretty dumb

[desert cairn]

iOS 17.2 users coping rn

[rigid night]

do we know when the neo hits the apple stores?

[hazy lagoon]

I mean that yellow color is killing me

[copper tendon]

no haptic track pad either

[red hinge]

it looks like dankpods puke

[hazy lagoon]

Why tf doesn’t apple put those colors on pro models

[rigid night]

i really like the silver

[rigid night]

i mean as long as they dont remove any wgaf?

[red hinge]

macbook neo 2nd generation leaked

[rigid night]

just buy the one you always buy lol

[half compass]

first possible webkit jailbreak since the middle ages

this is tech

[rigid night]

hjfkashfkjlhfkjldhsjkldh icl i thought it was plastic when i first saw it

[half compass]

i hope this leads to something

[valid elk]

All those 16.7 iPhone 8/x users would benefit too

[desert cairn]

Prolly just an amfi killer

[hazy lagoon]

The fact that my iPad is more powerful that this laptop is insane

[red hinge]

my first reaction when i saw the macbook neo is "bro this is the hp stream"

[desert cairn]

Semi untethered trollstore

[rigid night]

nah i dont think its that bad

[desert cairn]

I need a19 pro for MTE

[rigid night]

ill check it out at my apple store when it gets there

[gilded rapids]

I like my apartment but I hate my ugly gray couch

But it’s so cozy

[red hinge]

it looks bad in picture

isn't built bad, it just looks bad

[rigid night]

i dont think it looks bad either

its fun

[rigid night]

consider getting the material changed

could be cheaper than a new couch

[red hinge]

if you don't think this is dankpods puke you're not being honest

[gilded rapids]

True

[red hinge]

other colors look nice

not this one

[hazy lagoon]

I’m just curious I want to see if the neo can actually handle macos properly

[rigid night]

that looks very green

dayum

[half compass]

I like it

It’s so gay

[gilded rapids]

It doesn’t fit the color scheme fr

[rigid night]

would be suprised if it couldnt

[red hinge]

also the neo lacks a backlit keyboard

keep that in mind

[rigid night]

i mean yeah

but also cheap asf

[hazy lagoon]

I mean my ipad that has a better chip lags sometimes

[rigid night]

cant judge

[red hinge]

the only thing going on for it is that its cheap

[gilded rapids]

I still use my M1 Pro 14in MacBook Pro

[rigid night]

my iphone runs fine

[gilded rapids]

M1 Pro is still amazing it’s 70% after than regular m1

[red hinge]

i would tell my mom to get it since she's a teacher but she already got a new free laptop from the school

[turbid dust]

i like how mark gurman pretended he always knew the new macbook was named neo when it leaked

[rigid night]

nice

[simple drift]

ok yea im probably getting this one

[red hinge]

mark gurman is the definition of half truth

[rigid night]

lowkey would consider it but idk im too used to linux now

[hazy lagoon]

I think im gonna upgrade to an m4 pro mac mini soon i think it’s the best option that i can afford

[rigid night]

and couldnt use it at work either

[untold helm]

@jaunty garnet son im crine, school tried to add a hide ai overview extension but instead just added a webclip to the extension's page to our apps

[red hinge]

yea bro the 17 pro MIGHT have 3 cameras

[terse dome]

ublock origin just eliminated aaron's ad lmao

[red hinge]

and then if its false he doesn't lose anything

[turbid dust]

sometimes he has stuff but he likes to pretend he knows stuff a lot of the time

[gilded rapids]

That’s not bad wtf

[rigid night]

might be annoying to constantly change keyboard shortcuts and shit

[simple drift]

how even

[half compass]

W

[simple drift]

how do you mess it up this bad

[rigid night]

my old schools firewall was just, not firewalling

like it allowed all websites and traffic 😭

[red hinge]

my uni has no internet restrictions

get better

the BIOS is fully unlocked

[rigid night]

it wasnt a uni

also okay ig?

[red hinge]

same with my high school

[rigid night]

oh also forgot to mention

it wasnt supposed to do that

[red hinge]

they tried to restrict online games but it doesn't work

kekw

[rigid night]

like they very much had rules set up

but they just didnt work for a few weeks

[dense comet]

I mean the Neo is better at this price

[half compass]

Why are you on THE alt

i got my jellyfin unblocked as "Business" cuz all you see is a login screen

[half compass]

[terse dome]

Your admin has blocked this item

[dense comet]

Idk what you're talking about

[untold helm]

cant even remove the app from my apps menu

[rigid night]

icl have ai overviews and shit blocked with ublock

@gilded rapids when will you come to vietnam

[gilded rapids]

everyone costs moneys

[rigid night]

not all of it, but dont shove it down my throat lemme decide when to use ai (sob

[red hinge]

btw can you get me a 2021 m1 mbp if you do?

[hazy lagoon]

Anyone here has a creator studio active subscription? I wanna know if the image creation tool in pages is actually good

[gilded rapids]

[red hinge]

the prices are super bad here

i'll pay you back

[untold helm]

probably just chatgpt

[terse dome]

is japan or us better now for buying

[gilded rapids]

Wait A18 is better than M1 but does it perform better than the M1 Pro/Max

[red hinge]

anything is better than this

[simple drift]

Wow thats exoensive

[untold helm]

Basically A18 pro

[thorn ferry]

ok

[untold helm]

it only applies for 16.7 RC

not 16.7

[thorn ferry]

can i install trollstore on ios 16.7.12 without it being jailbroken

[untold helm]

rc is like a almost final beta

[untold helm]

no

[thorn ferry]

ok

[red hinge]

its very not

lol

[gilded rapids]

oh ok

[red hinge]

it lacks a backlit keyboard and touch id

performance is slightly better though

[gilded rapids]

whatever ima hold on to my 14in M1 Pro mbp for a little longer

I have no performance issues with what I do

[simple drift]

im upgrading asap

[red hinge]

currently begging blaze to buy me a m1 pro mbp

[gilded rapids]

oh the neo doesn’t have Touch ID unless you pay like 699

[red hinge]

😭

[gilded rapids]

wtf

[outer tundra]

😂

[gilded rapids]

If I upgrade my laptop I’ll give you my M1 Pro mbp

[outer tundra]

Apple tax for touch ID

[red hinge]

hell yeah

[gilded rapids]

All I wanted was fucking oled on the MacBook Pro 😭

[red hinge]

i mean i just need you to buy it for me, and i'll pay back in full

[outer tundra]

that's actually crazy

they don't even give it a touch bar

like wtf

I want more touch bar MBs

[half compass]

@red hinge 17.4 might work with that exploit chain as well?

idk

[molten crag]

hello neo

the first notchless macbook in awhile

[cunning flare]

They really went ahead and made a MacBook iPad

[outer tundra]

Apple should have named it MacBook: Poors Edition

[molten crag]

so entering the apple ecosystem will cost you at least $1200 USD, assuming you skip iPads

[untold helm]

MacbookE

[gilded rapids]

no it need to be a MacBook I like the quality build and the solid feeling

[red hinge]

fair this one has mid build quality

[gilded rapids]

It’s symmetrical the old claim shell used to bother me

[molten crag]

and if you don't even want an iPhone: a mere $600

[gilded rapids]

I’m weird my technology lol

[red hinge]

[molten crag]

guess i'll go and see if the budget one can beat my M2 Air

[untold helm]

incl apple watches, homepods, apple tvs?

[red hinge]

spoiler alert: it can't

[gilded rapids]

I went from 2015 MBP 15in to M1 Pro 14in mbp

[valid elk]

The last Lenovo laptop I owned had just crumbled while laying on a shelf

[gilded rapids]

Damn I miss my 2015 bby

[red hinge]

get iphone se 2, mba m1 (or 2020 intel mbp), and ipad gen 8

that will cost you around 700 bucks for all

the real minimum

[gilded rapids]

Wait the neo has 8gb of ram

Wild

[molten crag]

note that i only provided the laptop price

[valid elk]

What about time capsules/airports

[gilded rapids]

I bought a cellular plan for my aw cause why not so I’m trying it out

[red hinge]

i play AAA games on my lenovo, it works fine despite having no dGPU, and doesn't overheat

ig

[molten crag]

let's just assume the person gets lucky enough to find said devices w/enough storage

[red hinge]

radeon 780m is too powerful

[red hinge]

who the hell cares, you want the minimum price to get into an up to date ecosystem

[molten crag]

the iPad 8 starting at 32GB:

[red hinge]

still runs ipados 26 though

its hell but its still apple

[molten crag]

on a scale of 1-10, how bad is it

[red hinge]

9/10 very bad

the best one is the M1 air

lmao

[molten crag]

i see

[formal sundial]

Hello

[paper flint]

i wanna get a neo

[simple drift]

uh oh

26.3.1

@muted shuttle ring ring ring!!! its job time!!

xx.3.1 have relatively been amazing, let’s see

@muted shuttle ring ring ring!!! its job time!!

[tranquil marlin]

@muted shuttle ring ring ring!!! its job time!!

OH

[red hinge]

if you have a student discount, go for neo, if not and you're fine with having an used mac, just get the M1

[exotic jewel]

no one will buy the yellow macbook neo😂

[simple drift]

time to downgrade to 26.3 before it gets unsigned

[untold helm]

M1 with 16GB ram*

[red hinge]

as if the neo has 16gb lmfao

[fossil vale]

What’s this server for phone updates?..

[eternal basin]

we still have an old pink colored macbook at work 😛😛

[untold helm]

People said the same thing about the orange iPhone 17 pro

[agile phoenix]

new ios 18?

can i downgrade?

[exotic jewel]

orange is feasible

[fossil vale]

wtf are we talking abt

[molten crag]

i'd buy it in pink if i didn't already have an M2 MBA

[untold helm]

It’s for apple device jailbreaking, however there are pings for new products or updates

[red hinge]

hi where is ios 18

[paper flint]

imma be so fr, the m1 is not as whimsy as i'd like, plus, i js want a new device (newest apple device i own is from 2022, so rightfully so)

[exotic jewel]

i said yellow not pink

[red hinge]

:/

[fossil vale]

Oh ok thanks

[exotic jewel]

pink is fine tho

[burnt minnow]

yo

[hushed stag]

I'm sure it's not signed for any devices that support 26

[red hinge]

fair nuff, i still think m2 mba beats the neo any day

[burnt minnow]

can i downgrade from ios 26.2.1 to 18.7.6?

[red hinge]

the neo is only good if you have a students discount

[untold helm]

Multi core yes

[summer trout]

you wont get it since your above ios 18 lol

[burnt minnow]

on iphone 14 pm

[red hinge]

im joking

i know

[summer trout]

XD

[exotic jewel]

the neo has an iphone chip?

[eternal basin]

if you want to use iOS 18 i think it would be best to just use an older model phone that doesn't support iOS 26

[red hinge]

yes

and its only slightly better than M1

[tranquil marlin]

apple non 26 compatible favoritism

[molten crag]

no magsafe on the neo isn't too bad

[half compass]

67

[eternal basin]

bro

[exotic jewel]

ipad with macos but on a macbook shape

[untold helm]

Correct, it’s similar to the M1 I’m multicore, comparable with M3 single core

[paper flint]

fair do's, im not gonna be doing much on it anyway (i don't do gaming or anything, mainly writing docs / messaging people / listening to music, so the neo fits those requirements

[molten crag]

beats having a single port like w/the 12" macbooks
...and apple's weird era macbooks

[desert cairn]

Everyone has a student discount

[red hinge]

8gb will be the limiting factor if you want to use the thing long term

[unreal monolith]

which iphones can have 18.7.6 ?

[desert cairn]

They don't verify online

[red hinge]

so please reconsider

i saw that they're verifying using unidays

[desert cairn]

oh are they

that's new

[half compass]

Minor update ?

minors ?

Mods

[eternal basin]

from iPhone X to 16

[paper flint]

my mac has 8 gigs anyway, and i find that plentiful (im used to 2 / 4 gigs, so trust me, its gonna be fine)

[unreal monolith]

its not listed on ipsw.me, do yk where i can get it?

[tranquil marlin]

non 26 compatible only if u need to restore the ipsw but if ur on 18.7.5 on any 18 and 26 compatible device you can update normally

[eternal basin]

do you want to "downgrade" to 18.7.6?

[tranquil marlin]

i do 🥺🥺

[red hinge]

yes, they also verify for subscriptions using unidays

[unreal monolith]

is it impossible? sry if obvious, im new

[tranquil marlin]

i hope

[eternal basin]

no it's not impossible, the ipsw file should be available

[unreal monolith]

rn i was just looking to save the blobs but i cant find it

[vast barn]

erm...how do i update from iOS 18.7.1 to 18.7.6

[fervent dove]

It appears you are asking about the jailbreak guild tag. To join the iOS guild, go into your User Settings and navigate to Profiles. Under Server Tag, select the r/Jailbreak guild.

where did you even get that from dude

bro sorry if i didn't fully remember something plus i didn't even know what phone they had "dude"

[half compass]

you definitely asked chatgpt

[tranquil marlin]

is 18.9 the last one for 18

[molten crag]

and so i wonder what iOS 16+ would've been like on the iPhone 7

[half compass]

doesn’t exist

[eternal basin]

no?

[molten crag]

[tranquil marlin]

if it does exist will it be the last one

eventually

there’s no set stop

what’s the point if jailbreak

oh

[tranquil marlin]

to jailbreak ur device

remove the limitations

definitely better than ios 26 on iphone 11

and i do think the iphone 7 deserved ios 16

[molten crag]

aaaand then it'd probably be hell on the 6s

[red hinge]

well that's a given lmao

[agile phoenix]

i figured ios 26 sucks on that hardware

[red hinge]

its the RAM

[near marsh]

ever since iOS 26.4 i don't have a lot of problems with it anymore. at least specific to the phone i'd say.

[red hinge]

26 ran okay on my 12 pro (6gb) but hell on @simple drift 13 mini

[near marsh]

but yeah, def more rough than previous versions

[tranquil marlin]

why did apple let 26 on the iphone 11 and se2

[molten crag]

just had a random nonsensical brainfart along the lines of "the A11 had wasted potential"

[simple drift]

correct

is slow

[half compass]

cuz they’re stupid idiot guppies

[agile phoenix]

they always do like 6 years

[simple drift]

freezes randomly

[agile phoenix]

idk

[tranquil marlin]

true

[agile phoenix]

ios 26 is ass on my 16 pro

[coral fog]

bc ios 26 works just fine on those things
