By any other name: A18 Pro is just as good a Mac chip as M4 for most People are losing their minds over Apple's decision to put an iPhone chip in the MacBook Neo. All it shows is that they really don't understand the engineering of Apple Silicon.

Given Apple’s recent MacBook Neo announcement this is an interesting take on the CPU and performance

To be clear, the text on that post was generated by the source site. Perhaps I shouldn't have blindly trusted it, perhaps they have a bug. I have no idea how they're calculating the trend statement.

My GitHub contributions are down 9% over the last 6 months areyougoingexponential.rhys.dev/kingthorin Though the graph is trending up. I believe this is because I've been tackling larger/longer bits of work 😁

So basically you love AI but don’t really know why or if it helps… good show. You seem to be their prime consumer.

Shall we discuss double negatives πŸ™„

They do get to decide and look at the backlash that quickly lead to their response of providing control. Obviously even Mozilla saw value in providing user control.

If you’re happy to have every app you use be enshitified, good for you. Others disagree.

Sure there is β€œI’m a user that doesn’t want this”.

Why should anyone get to dictate what the user wants?

Agreed, opt-ins are better for most tech things.

Mainly wanted you to know some control is planned/coming.
