Or it secured more compute early at a lower price.

Also model/token efficiency.

List of possibilities is big

Well, it is obvious that not “any nuclear project” needs 20 years of planning :-)
> Any nuclear project must be planned 20 years

Is it true? France built more the 40 nuclear reactors in the 80s. I doubt it started “planning” for those in late 50s.

Ain’t designs standardized? Russian Rosatom builds a nuclear plant in 5-7 years

See apps like Reflector.

Or you can use Zoom or likes of it and connect to it from ipad and share screen.

That actually has lower latency than quicktime thing you mentioned

Re:Apple broke an essential presentation feature of iPads on Tuesday October 20, 2026 @01:23PM (#50169685)
I mean isn’t that how zoom and likes of it work?

You can either share a specific window (and need to switch off and share another if you want to share another app) or you can share entire screen.

If I understand correctly that’s what would be the solution here

Operator Mono is still very, very nice.

To be fair these are different tools.

Back in the days you would use cleanmymac for emptiying caches and what have you, and daisydisk to find big folders

This is not the way
Re:New Apple TV 4K on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @04:58AM (#50084514)
You don’t want movies going from apple tv at 120 hz: it is a tremendous bandwidth at 4:4:4 color and can introduce banding and other color issues. Because even if apple tv manages to output that with 100% quality, tv may not be able to be fast enough to “chew” through that. At this rate priority is to show “something” fast enough.

ie outputting 24/25/30 is completely fine: tv will use corresponding multiples of frames by itself (120 for 24, 50 and 60 for 25/30, etc.)

Re:New Apple TV 4K on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @04:42PM (#50078422)
Supporting 4 HomePods surround only in the new model is a classic dick move by Apple.

Also not supporting the original, completely fine and working HomePod for this is another.

Though first place here is dropping raw photo support for the $2k iPhone duo.

What type of content you would run at 120
Re:New Apple TV 4K on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @04:16PM (#50078027)
You are doing something wrong.

Resolution has nothing to do with dejudder and what have you: these are TV settings.

You should however have match framerate and hdr modes to content in apple tv settings on (unless you have a really old TV).

Re:New Apple TV 4K on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @04:13PM (#50077976)
App store has games — that would take most if some people are into casual stuff

Obviously some cache for local playback, photos, screensavers, etc.

Xbox cloud or whatever it is called will stream this without an actual xbox

This has changed recently

For example this dell is superb, has tandem oled with 200% scaling and runs linux (dhh runs this on onarchy)

> Measure the speed and performance of your network with the NDT test

This is very much in line with the likes of pokemon go, wiki landmark projects and what have you (those are nice things to have for autonomous drones/missiles to navigate only with vision when gps/cellular/starlink is actively blocked).

Russia banned stuff like speedtest because things like that may help “map” the network, aid NSA to model malware propagation, etc.

Not that this should matter when you have cisco, dell, nokia hardware, but it won’t hurt either.

I am left-handed (as is 1 in 10?), new UI really makes it unusable: dock and buttons are at the right side instead of being at the bottom.

And given the selfie camera position, I really doubt there is an accessibility setting to mirror the UI.

Why not use cheap vps?

It will not get down with half of the internet the next time cloudflare has issues.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza_Accord

The United States proposed a deal to France, Germany, Japan, and Britain (the G5): you buy up your own currencies, the dollar falls, and in return we reduce our budget deficit, meaning you no longer have to effectively finance U.S. development.

The United States agreed to reduce its budget deficit and lower interest rates. The other parties to the agreement committed to raising theirs. In addition, West Germany agreed to cut taxes, while Japan agreed to allow the yen to appreciate. As a result, over the following two years the U.S. dollar fell by 46% against the German mark and by 50% against the yen. However, the U.S. government ultimately failed to reduce its budget deficit. Meanwhile, the sharp appreciation of the yen made Japanese exporters less competitive in foreign markets. In the United States, by contrast, the period following the agreement saw substantial economic growth and low inflation.

A classic American move: promise the world — we’re all in this together, we’re marching toward a brighter future — and then screw everyone over.
