Refusing23··on New Mac Mini with M4
I think generally they wanna shrink it as much as possible, as it gives them more freedom for designs and more product options.

i think maybe in the future, maybe they'll only have 1 chip line - but thats just a wild guess.

Refusing23··on New Mac Mini with M4
my M1 still runs nicely today, at 4 years old, almost.

and it even got the newest apple intelligence update for MacOS, which is nice

Refusing23··on New Mac Mini with M4
a small 3d print can solve that for ya

apple wanna 'show it off'

Refusing23··on New Mac Mini with M4
remember a good monitor. scaling is kinda annoying on mac's, with lower resolution (under 4K)
Refusing23··on New Mac Mini with M4
It's a great controller. works flawlessly with the mac

and you can remoteplay to your ps5 (or ps4) which also works great if your internet isnt terrible

Refusing23··on Using an 8K TV as a Monitor
easiest is buying a table top in a DIY store and get it cut to the size you want. my local DIY store has sizes up to 100 cm x severalMeters.

most desks are only 60 or 80 cm

Refusing23··on Using an 8K TV as a Monitor
OLEDs generally get less bright than LEDs

but you should be able to adjust brightness on either the TV or your OS (or both)

Refusing23··on How I write code using Cursor
I dont think people need to think, that the AI is supposed to make complicated code

i think for the most part its meant to help you "get past" all the generic code you usually write in the beginning of a project, generic functions you need in almost all systems, etc.

Refusing23··on What excessive screen time does to the adult brain
This reads like people spend and hour in bed looking at their phone before getting up... lol

i wake up, turn off my phones alarm.

then i get up, go wake up my kid, take a shower while he eats breakfast and we're off after that.

Refusing23··on Nvidia releases NVLM 1.0 72B open weight model
i have yet to hear of anyone actually using AI for something properly

only exception im excited about is the non-main characters from video games, where a lot of the random NPCs, can now actually bring some more fun to the game.

Refusing23··on Zuckerberg: there's no connection between social media and teen mental health
mental health professionals disagree

whats zuckerbergs background for saying this? he's just promoting his product, just like any other

Refusing23··on Does red light therapy work? These are the benefits and drawbacks
That link contains good info but... i feel like its a bit too biased when they also happen to sell what they're preaching.

I'd say the best solution is to reduce sugar consumption and just eat foods with a lot of collagen, such as fish, bone broth, beef, eggs - these foods also happen to be generally high in nutrition per gram, so you can eat less overall, and still get the nutrients you need. (without sponsoring some supplement manufacturer)

like with eggs, natures vitamin supplement... that white "skin" between the egg white and the shell, is pure collagen.

Refusing23··on Nintendo Kawaii Progress (Keychain-Sized Nintendo Wii)
But how do i then insert my games?

its half the size of a disc, and there's no disc player on the dock

so digital only? gotta rip all my games!

Refusing23··on Meta AI: "The Future of AI Is Open Source and Decentralized"

If that means it'll be free/cheaper... sure

But the more who use it and/or host tor nodes...
Refusing23··on Apple mobile processors are now made in America by TSMC

Refusing23··on Consent-O-Matic – automatically fills ubiquitous pop-ups with your preferences
> 'I still don't care about cookies'

if i recall this just closes the cookie popup

but if you want some functionality you may need to accept some basic cookie like "remember me" for logging in, etc?

this is what the extension is great for

not sure if you can use both

Refusing23··on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
i feel like android phones have become boring too

there's just not much new going on. small improvements here and there..

i have a ton of options for my phone, special settings, options to download other apps, to further add new features

and i will probably never bother. i wanna use my phone as little as possible

Refusing23··on Gnome Files: A detailed UI examination
i have that problem in my browser (firefox)

too many tabs and i cant right click the top bar and reopen a closed tab, or whatever

the small empty spot between the tabs and the minimize/close buttons, provide a different right click menu

Refusing23··on Ask HN: How to store and share passwords in a company?

Refusing23··on Reddit banned me for developing Geddit
the trick about reddit is just use it for your niche hobbies and such.

Refusing23··on Greenwich schools to ban most cellphones, Apple Watches, Fitbits and more
my kid has a phone that is so boring to use (only snake, texting and calling) that he has it in the bottom of his backpack and only takes it out when he needs to call me

its truly amazing and i hope to keep it this way forever. meanwhile the rest of his class mates have smartphones and stare at it from the moment they leave their home ... and i assume till it runs out of battery. they dont even watch where they're going.

Refusing23··on Why won't some people pay for news? (2022)
MOST news is negative

and negativity makes me sad

so i just avoid news all together. i do read up on a few specific topics every now and again but... overall, i dont need the negativity in my life

Refusing23··on SponsorBlock – skip sponsor segments on YouTube
I will either block/skip ads or not use youtube

instead of having a "sponsored" segment where you talk about some product (basically an ad) you could just make the whole video about that product, and thus sponsorblock wouldnt really be used - i mean, sorta like product reviews
