So it's not shutting down, it's just telling it to operate by doing nothing?
Re:Nvidia's fat margins are a worrying sign of its market power on Thursday January 11, 2024 @06:57AM (#38951069)
It's probably because of the unified memory model - the GPU on the macbook can access the memory as if it was dedicated.
So 36M USD per year? I wonder how that stacks against the profits they make from that market.

The case is way too expensive for what it offers and there are much better alternatives out there (e.g. Formd T1 that someone linked above).

I was ready to buy mjolnir few years ago, but while they couldn't decide on basic details (at the time it wasn't clear if the outer shell would be 1 piece of aluminum or multiple) and the competition seems to have delivered a much better range of products.

In the comments OP writes that this might have been a special SKU for Costco https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/prayz6/dell_...
They both have 1x Thunderbolt 3, but yes, intel allows for 4K panel upgrade
I believe the frustration is more due to the fact that even though the laptop is plugged in, the battery gets drained and after a while, it will simply shut down. I have had that issue with 2012 15 inch, 2016 15 inch, 2017 15 inch and heard similar stories from 16inch users.

Reminds me of the early brick-sized mobile phones. Sure you could be wireless, but if you wanted to use it more than few minutes, you had to find yourself a power socket.

Yeah, I suspect it might be a memory throughput-per-core issue or one of the oldest ones in the books: they got a better deal for 48 cores as not all chiplet cores need to be operational...

Does it start with FCKGW...? ;)
Re:How to Port from Python 2 to Python 3 (2019) on Thursday January 23, 2020 @08:32AM (#22127361)
Isn't it ironic that Sentry is one of the tools mentioned in py2->py3 migration? (Sentry is on py2 and as far as I remember they were not very optimistic about migrating)
I don't think I understand the concept behind this, it feels a bit like an attempt at using github-as-a-database or turning it into one with schemas, scripts and validators?

Plus now you can overclock it to do it even faster... A bit meta ;)
