The laptops may be good but they have windows on it

[red hinge]

windows 11 runs worse on 16gb of ram than macos on 8gb

memory management is simply better on linux

[crimson fjord]

Ngl the neo is a well priced new Apple device but imo there’s literally no reason to ever buy new from Apple

You’re burning money

[red hinge]

its a good deal for me

[untold helm]

Box

[abstract tundra]

[red hinge]

as macbook air m1 pricing sucks here

[crimson fjord]

You can literally buy the box off eBay lmao if that’s so important to you

[crimson fjord]

Wya?

[red hinge]

better to just get a neo for the price

[red hinge]

$550 for an used model

base model

[crimson fjord]

Where

[red hinge]

vietnam

[crimson fjord]

Ah okay

[untold helm]

Then it will add up to new price, plus it won’t properly match the serial

[crimson fjord]

Makes sense

[crimson fjord]

Who gives a flying fuck about the box

[untold helm]

Do you keep your apple boxes?

[crimson fjord]

No

[red hinge]

and with students discount the neo is literally better than every windows laptop of that price range (matching MSRP)

[untold helm]

Surface Laptop Go was Microsoft's MacBook Neo. It launched at $549 but nobody bought it, so a few years later they killed it and replaced it with a more expensive $899 Surface Laptop instead. Now that $899 Surface looks like a terrible deal when sat next to a $599 MacBook lol

the main issue of this: Windows 11

[crimson fjord]

macOS comes with its own set of issues but regardless at this level of power I’d choose macOS over windows any day

Low power low intensity workflows is where macOS shines imo

And that’s what the neo is for

So it’s a very good fit

[red hinge]

im very ready to switch to linux if mainstream apps supporting it

games all work fine, but its the productivity apps that matters

i need adobe apps

[crimson fjord]

Yeah the only reason I haven’t switched ro Linux on everything is at the end of the day my life is too busy for stuff to just stop working or not work at all

macOS and windows cover all bases for me

[red hinge]

funnily stability is now my least concern

[crimson fjord]

Windows for whenever I want to get anything serious done and macOS for doing some portable stuff on the go

Works pretty well

Unfortunately my MacBook trackpad cracked and I was told by the Genius Bar it could’ve been caused by a hair

And they wouldn’t cover it under warranty

And I’d have to complain to ACL to get it fixed

Or pay $305

[untold helm]

Spotify has a native client, mostly I use Google’s online office suite, all the games I play are supported in one way or another

[abstract tundra]

Proton my beloved

[red hinge]

im okay with alternatives if they're not so devilish to use

• apple music i have cider
• microsoft office i can use onlyoffice, not a big loss
• adobe photoshop: no good alternatives unless i want artifacts by using affinity on wine
• adobe illustrator: same reason, inkscape is only slightly better than GIMP
• lightroom classic: darktable works fine

[sullen verge]

Anyone know a safe good side loader?

[red hinge]

https://sidestore.io

[untold helm]

Sidestore

[crimson fjord]

Ngl the neo is a good machine bar like 3 pretty bad things

1. 8gb of ram is unacceptable even on macOS it chugs especially on Tahoe
2. No Force Touch trackpad is genuinely ridiculous I mesn I cannot believe in 2026 they’d put out a diving board trackpad it’s insane
3. No keyboard backlight is honestly just stupid

[sullen verge]

Thank you so much!

[crimson fjord]

Outside of that it’s not bad for the price

[red hinge]

1. shortage
2. $599
3. $599

:/

im sure apple wants to put 16gb on the machine

[abstract tundra]

First one pretty valid, rest meh

[untold helm]

So the only real limit is Adobe

[crimson fjord]

I’m very sure they’re happy they can’t actually

[untold helm]

12Gb would have made more sense

[crimson fjord]

It means 8gb is continuing as an acceptable amount of ram for them to ship

[abstract tundra]

Thankfully im not dependent on adobe apps

[untold helm]

I can’t wait till 50 years in the future where 8gb is still the norm somehow

[abstract tundra]

Real

Because AI

[crimson fjord]

Also the Force Touch trackpad is literally a component they’ve been making for over a decade now, there’s 0 R&D costs and they already have the parts so that’s basically a nothingness

[abstract tundra]

[red hinge]

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-Touchscreen-i5-1155G7-Processor/dp/B0CTPJ4NNC/ tbf if you see the market that apple is competing, the macbook neo is honestly a steal

[crimson fjord]

Eh

In most countries the m1 air is better by a country mile

In America it’s literally half the price and here it’s 2/3

Plus it has a Force Touch trackpad and a backlit keyboard

[red hinge]

im talking about MSRP here, ofc you can always get an old dell xps and have it better than the macbook neo

[crimson fjord]

I guess so but in today’s market imo buying at MRSP new is pretty dumb

In most cases

Especially with phones

The 17e is outright robbery the second you consider buying used or even just older new models

[red hinge]

i mean, people said so too with the 16e, and look at the price now

[crimson fjord]

It’s only purpose imo is a mass produced burner phone for companies to distribute due to very good MDM tools on apples part

[red hinge]

totally good

[crimson fjord]

Good for whom

[red hinge]

as a continuation to this

[crimson fjord]

A 15 pro is better in every measurable way including price bar a slightly older chip

Like literally every way and it’s substantially cheaper

[red hinge]

and for the next 1-3 years the e will drop prices much more

[crimson fjord]

Maybe they will maybe they won’t but it won’t change the fact that the product itself is a premium priced item with below budget parts

It’s a bad phone

[red hinge]

i mean if you didn't believe me, the se 3 is borderline under $100 now

[crimson fjord]

Not even for it’s price

It’s just a bad phone

[red hinge]

meanwhile 12 pro is still in the 200 range

[crimson fjord]

The se 3 never sold for anywhere close to the 17e

Even at MRSP

And adjusted for inflation

[untold helm]

The e is made for seniors and companies distributing phones

[crimson fjord]

The se 3 even at MRSP was reasonably budget friendly

[dry monolith]

And

[red hinge]

and the se 3 goes head to head with the base 12

[dry monolith]

wait what was i gonna stay

[dry monolith]

No

[red hinge]

at the time of release

[crimson fjord]

The 17e has
A large price
A single camera (which is pretty poor in it’s own right)
A truly terrible screen
A dated design
Lacks many modern features like camera control, Dynamic Island, etc

[dry monolith]

se3 is 13

a15 chip

[crimson fjord]

Yeah se 3 is 13

[red hinge]

i didn't mean it by that

[dry monolith]

be fr camera control is just a gimmick

[jaunty garnet]

who would even buy the 17e or MacBook neo

[crimson fjord]

It most certainly is

[dry monolith]

People

[jaunty garnet]

???

[dry monolith]

students

Students

[jaunty garnet]

used mba better still

[crimson fjord]

But it doesn’t change the fact that it’s an awful product at an awful price

[red hinge]

i meant at the time of release, the se 3 and 12 (actually 11 in some markets too) are very head to head competitive

[crimson fjord]

The neo on the other hand is not

The neo at least has some merit existing

[jaunty garnet]

but don’t most students use MacBooks because they need powerful shit

for photoshop etc

[dry monolith]

you know there’s still students that do

fuck g

english

or like

stuff like that

[crimson fjord]

The 17e is quite literally Apple making a phone from there ewaste and pricing it as if it were a premium product

[jaunty garnet]

ig

[dry monolith]

like high schoolers too

i guess

[crimson fjord]

The difference with the se 3 is they made it from the same scraps but they priced it accordingly

[jaunty garnet]

schools are banning personal laptops

i am experiencing this.

[dry monolith]

my dads saying it’s a shit product anyways because he can’t comprehend how good the iphone chips have gotten

i told him to go try one out next week

[jaunty garnet]

se 3 is peak design

[dry monolith]

and i dont think he’s fully clocked it’s still macos

[crimson fjord]

I mean the neo is still most definitely e waste but at least it’s priced somewhat close to what you’d expect

(At edu prices)

[dry monolith]

considering their target market is students

i guess that’s fine

[crimson fjord]

Yeah I mean

It’s basically just an iPad with a keyboard in 1 machine

[dry monolith]

and macos

i think that’s the main thing

[crimson fjord]

macOS isn’t doing all that much for you with the power you’ve got

[dry monolith]

it runs fully desktop os

[crimson fjord]

lmao

[dry monolith]

true

but

still

[crimson fjord]

Yes but it’s chipset will inhibit it ever running actual desktop applications to any degree of acceptability

[dry monolith]

i guess

we’ll see

how does a18 pro compare to m1

[crimson fjord]

It’s basically the same chip

It’s within margin of error

Except technically it actually has hardware RT and mesh shading

Ghoul

Holy*

I just spotted my first 16e in the wild

I have never seen anyone with one before

Wow

[carmine elk]

I js found out that my crush has LARPOSIA in her iphone 13’s homescreen

[summer wadi]

hey guys, can I ask a general macOS question here? I know this isn't the place, but rjb has more power users and people who know shit compared to say r/mac or apple discord

.
so my question is, since UTM uses virtualization framework and stuff, is there any limitations in the supported macOS versions for the guest OS?

Like if I wanted to install a Monterey IPSW on UTM running on Tahoe, would that work?

[crimson fjord]

Yes

[summer wadi]

oh, great. thanks.

[crimson fjord]

Monterey is the first to support

[summer wadi]

all that RSR and "update brains" bullshit make ventura and newer so hard to debug

nah i aint gon cause this should i even call a person is stupid as shit and stacking subscribers on a brand that aint even his and uses the apple name too

i just despise him

[ornate latch]

We don't care

[coarse wedge]

what a pos

[outer adder]

well shuld i make a apple music discord rpc?

[coarse wedge]

well i do

[outer adder]

i cant find a good one on github

[ornate latch]

Then keep it to yourself

[coarse wedge]

i had to call him out

natural instinct

[ornate latch]

No

You didn't need to

[coarse wedge]

ive despised him for years

i snapped

shit

[coarse wedge]

cant even write properly

[ornate latch]

No one cares

Stop being a moron

[uncut crown]

I think there is some confusion here

You are the one here that doesn't care

[ornate latch]

Great so no one cares besides 1 person

Thank you for correcting me

[coarse wedge]

im not an asshole

im sayung the truth

this guy is really a stan

[ornate latch]

Yeah that's why I called you a moron

Not that

[coarse wedge]

call me an asshole then

im cool with that

[ornate latch]

No

[uncut crown]

See, instead of saying this inflammatory instigative stuff you could idk... not say anything at all and move on

[coarse wedge]

i agree

[uncut crown]

it's really not productive

[coarse wedge]

we lay down our arms

[ornate latch]

Does it matter if it's productive or not

It's not like this isn't Discord

[uncut crown]

So your goal is to be instigative

I see

[ornate latch]

I mean, yeah, I don't wanna know his opinion on that guy sucking Tim Cook's dick

It's just unnecessary

[ashen basin]

Gm

[uncut crown]

That is your opinion though. I think where you are going wrong is forcing your opinion onto others.. go touch grass or something

The negativity is not needed

[ornate latch]

I don't think anyone wants to know that, but okay

Whatever you say

[outer adder]

well think i am

[uncut crown]

Sometimes it's better to not say anything if you don't have something nice to say

it's a good rule of thumb

[ornate latch]

Doesn't that already exist

[ornate latch]

@coarse wedge

[outer adder]

it is but ive found a good one only for linux / macos

[uncut crown]

oh nice!

[ornate latch]

The fuck

So there's none for Windows?

[outer adder]

the rest are pretty shit

[outer adder]

there is but they are not that good

[ornate latch]

I see

[coarse wedge]

we aint got rules but alr

il follow

[outer adder]

a lot of them dont show the song artwork and stuff

[coarse wedge]

imma go on 4chan then to bomb threads

[outer adder]

and its not that hard to make this with js so i think il try

[uncut crown]

well there are rules against general malicious behavior but alr

[outer adder]

maybe even with a nice ui idk

[ornate latch]

Yeah bro stay quiet please

[coarse wedge]

as said il calm down in here

[uncut crown]

the thing is the actual person my stuff was for isn't listening to it at all

sigh

[ornate latch]

Dude

[uncut crown]

what a waste

[ornate latch]

He just said he's going to 4chan to shit related to bombs

[coarse wedge]

nah

[ornate latch]

You just did

[coarse wedge]

imma post so many threads on 4chan

[ornate latch]

Fym nah

[coarse wedge]

its a metaphor

???

[ornate latch]

It's 4chan

Nothing is a metaphor there

[coarse wedge]

so il just post a thread there and never mention anything in here

[manic tulip]

its not actually the same rom!

[alpine chasm]

Fine, 99% of it

[manic tulip]

it will crash any current emulators

because nintendo made a custom bios that can reach out to the nintendo switch's bad word list

[alpine chasm]

which is stupid

listen they dont wanna start an influx of pokemon being traded with unfiltered names

modern games are subject to this so they had to not make an easy route to bypass nickname censorship

[sleek goblet]

MacBook neo vs m4 Mac mini

[spare portal]

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/03/say-hello-to-macbook-neo/

genuinely incredible

this is incredible

literally my childhood dream

[sleek goblet]

shame it doesnt have backlit keyboard

[spare portal]

i really dont care

I never use backlit keyboar

[sleek goblet]

I like backlight

[spare portal]

In most situations the stray light from the screen is enough to provide a splash of light over the keys

[spare portal]

I guess if you look at the keys when typing, backlit keyboards are very good

[sleek goblet]

convenience

[spare portal]

My only concern is: Can the Neo run unsigned code?

[sleek goblet]

unsigned as in

custom os or just apps

[spare portal]

Custom OS

Anyway. I really do not get people who say "macbook air bad, its just gonna thermal throttle"

[sleek goblet]

not so sure if you can

[sleek goblet]

I’ve been using m1 MacBook, I use it for gaming, works like a dream

[spare portal]

My MacBook Pro with an M3 Pro only gets warm when doing GPU intense tasks

[sleek goblet]

light, quick and powerful

[spare portal]

It stays stone cold otherwise

[sleek goblet]

M1 MacBook has no fan

I’m running a tri monitor setup with it

[spare portal]

My macbook's fans almost never run, in fact I usually think they're broken 😭

[sleek goblet]

i guess i could live with one

[simple drift]

asahi isn’t even supported on m3 and newer yet

[spare portal]

For later.

[simple drift]

also the neo only has 8gb of ram

it’s an awful deal

[spare portal]

8GiB is more than enough

[simple drift]

for the same price you can get an m2 air

[simple drift]

not for macos

[spare portal]

I'm anticipating a surge of them, used

[simple drift]

macos on 8gb or ram is slowwwww

[spare portal]

I've used 4 and 8GiB RAM on my Linux machines for the longest time, in a mobile Intel chip

[sleek goblet]

Only bad thing with my MacBook

It’s a 2020 model

Still 95% SoH

I guess 8gb is fine if you leave maximum 5-10 browser tabs open and use the computer only with single windows

[sleek goblet]

Or a m4 mini

[simple drift]

true

ima get ts soon

[thorny pelican]

been waiting a friend for 2 hours my ass is square rn

a fucking cube

[sleek goblet]

not too bad

[severe urchin]

people who think 8GB isn’t enough for a Chromebook-like are clearly not the target audience, nor do they understand the target audience’s wants and needs.

[severe urchin]

so the reviewers that say it feels just like a regular Mac are lying

mhm.

[simple drift]

well all people have seen is stock apps on it at previews

[severe urchin]

They’re not releasing a computer that can’t handle their own OS

Sorry, they’re just not

[simple drift]

but if i open one electron app it will just die i swear

hence why i’m getting 32gb ram

[severe urchin]

highly doubt that, but regardless

[simple drift]

also i need the ram for actual stuff

so

[severe urchin]

exactly, so you’re not the target audience, that’s my point

[simple drift]

well we’ll see when it releases but from what most people say 8gb isn’t great

[simple drift]

yeah

[severe urchin]

the customer is usually wrong.

don’t forget that

[simple drift]

it’ll be fine for the people that it targets

but it’s not especially great value

but

that’s fine

it’ll still sell very well

[severe urchin]

Depends on how you position it

as a budget laptop for students, it’s fantastic value

I’m not a stupid, but I’m tempted by the Neo as somebody who was previously looking at the iPad A16

just for productivity stuff, media machine, stuff like that

seems like a damn good deal for me

$750AUD via the education store

[thorny pelican]

yeah i'd get it if i already didnt buy a 2k laptop

worst decision of my life

i mean for adobe stuff it will last me a good 15 years not kidding but like do i really need so much

[severe urchin]

I have a PC, but I really don’t like sitting in bed and doing shit.

I feel much more productive when I’m sitting in bed. Mac Neo might just be the answer I was trying to seek from the iPad.

When I’m at my PC I just gravitate towards playing a game on it.

[thorny pelican]

the ipad is probably the least productive device in history

[autumn pendant]

Hello there jailbreak

[severe urchin]

From what I’ve heard, the iPad is the most useless Apple device ever

[autumn pendant]

Imo I’m more productive on my MacBook than my PC

[severe urchin]

everyone has one. nobody uses it.

[severe urchin]

That’s where my head’s at, yeah.

It really does seem like a great deal

[thorny pelican]

i use it to watch videos, draw on procreate

stop

thats all

[severe urchin]

Especially for $750AUD

[autumn pendant]

I have a MacBook Air M4 tho

Great laptop

9/10

[thorny pelican]

yeah, i hate the colors tho

why not black

[autumn pendant]

1 point off for the ports sucking

[severe urchin]

I hate every colour but the silver

[fossil citrus]

if iOS 27 has content, my prediction is an image recognition feature in safari, like Google lens

why not silver with black accents

[autumn pendant]

Silver supremacy

[severe urchin]

I have an iPhone 17 Pro in silver, I have the Apple Watch Series 11 in silver

the Mac Neo is the perfect compliment

[thorny pelican]

crazy

[severe urchin]

and I can finance it.

thanks, Latitude.

[thorny pelican]

i remember when i had a full ecosystem like in 2022black iphone xr, omen hp black, dark ipad 9

[severe urchin]

I think black looks tacky on most tech

[autumn pendant]

I have uh

[severe urchin]

controversial probably idk

I don’t like it

[autumn pendant]

iPhone 15 Pro
AirPods Pro 2
Apple Watch SE (2nd gen)
iPad (6th gen)
MacBook Air M4 13”

[severe urchin]

iPhone 17 Pro
Apple Watch Series 11
AirPods Pro 3
Mac Neo (soon)

I don’t really think I need anything else. Pretty happy with all that tbh

I only recently switched to Apple’s ecosystem. Can’t say it hasn’t been a fantastic experience.

I plan on upgrading the phone every year and the watch every two. Buds, I’ll upgrade whenever a new Pro series comes out. AirPods are incredibly important to me.

[autumn pendant]

Oh and a few AirTags

[thorny pelican]

rn i have
black iphone 16
still the same ipad 9
airpods pro 3
uh thats all honestly
does apple pencil count

[severe urchin]

ah yeah I’ve got an AirTag

if AirTags count, yeah, Pencil counts

I can upgrade the phone yearly for around $950AUD a year.

[thorny pelican]

from someone that breaks every single airpods in a year, i've had all of them, the best ones are the pro 2

the pro 3 feel like a very small improvement

[severe urchin]

so a bit less than half the price of the Pro model (at its current cost) per year.

[thorny pelican]

and are uncomfortable somehow

[autumn pendant]

My iPad is 8 years old

Sobs

[thorny pelican]

is it the base model

[severe urchin]

It’s also worth doing because I work in telco. It’s good for sales to have the latest phone.

[thorny pelican]

just saw, yes

[severe urchin]

Helps push people over the line

[autumn pendant]

iPad 6th gen 32gb storage

[thorny pelican]

its time to say goodbye!

[autumn pendant]

No

[severe urchin]

man go to CeX or smth and upgrade that fossil

[thorny pelican]

bro my classmates had that exact ipad it was LAGGING on ios 16

[autumn pendant]

If it loads YouTube

Nothing is wrong

[severe urchin]

that thing has seen the Cretaceous, brother

[autumn pendant]

I found it in a bin

[thorny pelican]

no need to open it on safari?

[thorny pelican]

oh bruh

[severe urchin]

that shit witnessed the meteor

[autumn pendant]

It’s on iOS 18

It may take 5 minutes to load YouTube

But it can play a video

[thorny pelican]

peak technology

[summer wadi]

hi chat

[thorny pelican]

in a minute my friend should finish school

[summer wadi]

I finally realised why the MacBook neo is called the neo. I feel stupid now.

[thorny pelican]

i want to murder someone

[thorny pelican]

why

[autumn pendant]

Matrix reference

[summer wadi]

because neo means new. new generation. as in youngins. it's a MacBook for students. kids.

[storm warren]

have you guys seen someone jailbroke iphone 17prm?

[thorny pelican]

a guy just tryed to fist bump me

i'm REALLY close to screaming

[thorny pelican]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1369350606808158270/1370593333398732870/image1.gif

[summer wadi]

bro what? 17 comes installed with iOS 26

who jailbroke ts?

[thorny pelican]

it is completely impossible btw

[storm warren]

but it's 17prm vm

[summer wadi]

oh

VM?

as in...?

[thorny pelican]

vm

[storm warren]

the guy who did it is the developer of misaka26

[storm warren]

they are planning to make real one

[summer wadi]

what kind of VM though? I don't get it? corellium?

[storm warren]

maybe

[severe urchin]

no fucking way

[summer wadi]

I haven't been into iOS stuff for like a couple of years now

[severe urchin]

to be fair. It’s a crap name.

I hate the name

The name cheapens the identity of the thing imo

[summer wadi]

it is weird. coz it doesn't describe the product as well as "Air", or "Pro" does. but it's fine.

something new at last.

[severe urchin]

sure, yeah

surely MacBook Mini could have worked

[summer wadi]

I mean, for apple, 800 dollars is cheap, so...

[severe urchin]

I guess it’s not small tho

specifically

but in terms of performance it is

[summer wadi]

exactly.

[severe urchin]

eh… mini wouldn’t work.

[summer wadi]

and also, in apple's world, mini means more expensive

because compactness

[severe urchin]

Regardless. They could have done better than Mini

[severe urchin]

mmm true.

[summer wadi]

iPad mini is more expensive that iPad

they should rename the regular iPad too

coz it gets confusing

[severe urchin]

yeah

iPad (A16)

idk what they were thinking there

[summer wadi]

iPad neo sounds foul though

maybe...

iPad SE? nahhh

SE sounds ass

it's good they got rid of the iPhone SE

iPhone 17e sounds way better than "iPhone SE (4th generation)"

[severe urchin]

SE has a terrible reputation

it works for the phones because of the numbers

but Mac isn’t number

Mace

MacBooke

ehhhh

[worthy garden]

@ashen basin i wanted to install linux on switch but it seems horrid

[vital knoll]

it should be
ipad mini
ipad
new iPad
new new iPad
ipaid it already

[summer wadi]

if I was ceo, I'd name them

iPad neo
iPad mini
iPad air
iPad pro

[slim nova]

Why not the iphone naming scheme

iPad e
iPad mini
iPad air
iPad pro

MacBook e

[ashen basin]

Why would you do that

[worthy garden]

see perfomance

[slim nova]

Hell sync the products with the year

[worthy garden]

i mean it can run some stuff

[slim nova]

Drivers

[worthy garden]

yes.

they made it work tho

switchroot

[slim nova]

Barely

Performance is not great

[winter meadow]

That would be SE 5

[slim nova]

At least on v1

[winter meadow]

How horrid

[worthy garden]

well look at switch v1 specs

[vital knoll]

I wanna Linux on luca

[worthy garden]

Hey cutie

[vital knoll]

how's the monster

[worthy garden]

i got none

[winter meadow]

Aren’t v1 and v2 the same

Bruh

Except patched that fusee gelee thingy

[summer wadi]

"e" on its own sounds off

https://tenor.com/view/markiplier-e-meme-lord-farquaad-gif-22354984

[vital knoll]

why not

[worthy garden]

pretty sure they diff

[cinder pebble]

For some reason my school uses a wack ass online exam sites and I could block the JS API to get rid of the stupid alarm when switching tabs

[mint forge]

i dropped my phone and settings says face id doesn’t work anymore bc of storage

is this normal or what

is going on

i have 5 gigs left

[cinder pebble]

Idk man take a guess

[mint forge]

but why does it say storage is the problem lol

isn’t 5 gb more than enough

[cinder pebble]

uh cus theres nothing to cache and no space to do stuff

[winter meadow]

I’m constantly refreshing the PS3 update page on Sony’s site 😭

[mint forge]

[winter meadow]

[mint forge]

[coarse shard]

Isn’t 4.92 latest

I am out of date ig

[winter meadow]

And BD keys get updated annually

[vital knoll]

[mint forge]

[silver scaffold]

Considering they plan to drop it in macOS 28

[simple drift]

app support

i’m not getting one it would just be pooey if it didn’t support it

[terse dome]

it should have rosetta, would be surprised if it didnt

[simple drift]

we’ll see

[outer tundra]

I can't wait until app support for iOS requires iOS 26+

[terse dome]

@ruby copper rosetta 2 on iPhone 16 Pro

[outer tundra]

then jailbreaking is truly dead

[rich dune]

@simple drift whats in 4 days

The storage and RAM are a lot slower than the Air

Unity:

[ruby copper]

@simple drift @rich dune @red hinge for some reason all xbox 360 live games on that one site that is shutting down soon has 6 bytes at 0x6-0xc just zeroed out which is 2 bytes into the rsa signature

ALL of them have this

preservation my ass

why did they do this

[outer tundra]

Macbook Neo is what Apple toddlers like to think is a "good deal"

[simple drift]

what does any of this mean

[ruby copper]

this means that none of the xbla games on that site are runnable on a unmodified xbox 360 console

[simple drift]

it’s the best NEW laptop for the price bracket

[outer tundra]

just save the money for a MBP tbh

[simple drift]

badupdate:

this is not a fr this is a truth giganova

[rich dune]

did they use a shit dumper?

@ruby copper what’s the point of an unmodded x360 in 2026 anyways

[ruby copper]

hmm

I have an idea

hold on

[rich dune]

x360 is essentially snake oil, no one really botheres with proper checks nowadays I guess

[simple drift]

[ember basalt]

Guys do i update my 13 pro max it has this screen flickering issue

[outer tundra]

Xbox is so trash

[ember basalt]

Im on the latest version os ios 18

[ember basalt]

I lowk agree tbh

I have the series s but like im missing out on ps exclusives

[outer tundra]

after I got my Microsoft Account stolen

all of my games

are just gone

lol

good thing most of them were Games with Gold

if my PlayStation account got stolen I'd freak the fuck out

[outer tundra]

Missing PS exclusives, ZERO customer support in 2026, poor emulation (imo), remote play isn't as good, unable to hack (but you can enable developer mode)

if you're going to buy an Xbox today you might as well build a PC

99% of Xbox games will be on PC anyway and for free

[ember basalt]

The only pro is gamepass

And gamepass prices r ridiculous

[outer tundra]

not anymore

the value used to be really good

now not so much

I like PlayStation Plus Premium which is equivalent

but I only bought it because of the Lunar New Year sale

they dropped the price to $100

[winter meadow]

If u want to hack your PS5 you can’t connect to PSN anyway

[ember basalt]

bruh my gamepass ran out

[winter meadow]

Not on latest fw

[ember basalt]

Can someone answer

[valid elk]

Yo, any not disappointing news about coruna?

Seen that it's likely to not support 16.7.5-16.7. whatever latest is

[slow jackal]

Any YouTube working ipa guys please

[dry monolith]

Is there a version of Legizmo that is compatible with watch OS 26?

Is ios 26.3.1 buggy

[tame rock]

What iOS version are you on

[winter meadow]

Do u live in the North Pole

[ember basalt]

Latest version of 18

But my phones screen been flickering

Ppl say the only fix is to update

[outer tundra]

I moved across the world many times

[outer tundra]

who told you this?

[ember basalt]

Literally everywhere i searched

Rn the flickering is gone

But it will come back

[narrow crown]

bro linked just the tips

[outer tundra]

it could be a problem with the display

[ember basalt]

Theres legit no problem with the display at all

i have a screen protector and theres been no problems at all

[outer tundra]

internally

there could be an issue

[velvet zenith]

This is not satisfying

Frown

[outer tundra]

I doubt updating will fix it

[ember basalt]

So should i update im tired of ios 18 anyway

[outer tundra]

but I never used iOS 18 so maybe that's a known bug

[ember basalt]

Im on 18.7.3

[outer tundra]

I hear iOS 26 is a love it or hate it update though

[ember basalt]

I used it on my dads 17 pro max and its so cool

[outer tundra]

it can really slow down your device too

if it isn't new enough

[ember basalt]

Mines 13 pm

Should i update

conclusion ?

[narrow crown]

@errant elk ios 11 iphone x

[red hinge]

yea mac is just out of the question now

[outer tundra]

do you need 32GB RAM

for a laptop?

you're better off getting that on a desktop

cheaper

[slim nova]

macbook six seyven

[outer tundra]

I'd say 24GB RAM is max I'd recommend for a MBP

[simple drift]

i do literally everything on my laptop

[red hinge]

nah its not

[simple drift]

it goes straight from 16 to 32

also

[outer tundra]

so do I but not gaming/intense tasks

[red hinge]

32gb of ram costs like $3000 these days

not on a mac

[outer tundra]

oh I forgot that

[simple drift]

i want the ram i literally use my macbook as a desktop

[outer tundra]

what?

[simple drift]

i plug all my shit into it at my desk

[outer tundra]

[outer tundra]

[ember basalt]

Why does it lag when i open an app does it need indexing

[simple drift]
