I came across an article/YouTube video/comment somewhere a few months ago that stated the reason we don't have 5k 27 inch OLED monitors is because the pixel density is too high for OLED to handle. But this display seems to contradict that. Anyone more knowledgeable on display tech have any comment?

I would be keen to replace my 5k iMac (converted to work as an external monitor) with a 5k OLED monitor!

Yeah I personally would have preferred a Touch Bar, with the F keys intact. In the age of AI workflows it could have been very useful.

Apparently the hinge is different - it results in less wobble when interacting via touch.

iPhone Air?

or if you want more battery life, iPhone 17 or 17e?

Or if you want even more battery life, iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max?

Interesting. Will be way out of my budget, but keen to see how the OLED display performs long term. Nearly everyone I've seen that has used an OLED on laptop say they absolutely love it. But I still hate the idea of touchscreen, especially with the changes to MacOS to cater for this

I'm in the exact same boat as you, exact same specs. CPU/GPU holding up perfectly for my use cases, but 512GB is tough to manage now.

Apparently another announcement coming tomorrow, with the OLED panels. But according to the fpt channel on Youtube, it doesn't look any different. Just has an OLED panel with touchscreen, with massive cooling changes inside.

We have many people - including world leaders - that support, or run cover for, mass deaths on our very own planet, right now.

Don't think there'd be much consideration for the morality of colonizing another planet.

It feels like the Covid lockdown WFH times where managers mandated everyone has their webcams on. Having been in some of these management conversations, it was purely to ensure no one is just chilling on their bed.

Pretty dumb, as at that time not everyone was had a home office set up, and one can work from their bed perfectly fine, especially when someone wants to put their feet up for a bit during a team meeting.

Such a delightful website

Me too! I briefly worked in a home office with the similar layout to the link above. Made such a massive difference in mood while working.

How many teenagers were killed by Hamas? And are there independent sources that verify this?

Also, is Oct 7 enough justification to shoot 335 bullets at 6 year old Hind Rajab?

Your questions reek of bias by trying to centre everything to Oct 7, as though history began there. If you really cared about children, you'd have referenced the thousands of Palestinian children killed by Israel before Oct 7.

Such weak whataboutism as well. I know so many pro-Palestine people personally and people I follow online that also speak out about Sudan, Iran, other ME countries.

Heck, I know so many Muslims critical of Muslim majority nations.

Well what else do you expect when you subjugate a native population for decades? Just expect perfect victims?

The peaceful route didn't work. Only idiots will think continuing with the status quo will result in anything different.

Why are all pro-Israel responses the same?

It's not Genocide...

...because UN is corrupt...

...and numbers are from Khamassss,,,,

...and whatabout whatabout whatabout Iran Sudan....

...you hate us coz we're Jewssss....

Haven't noticed it personally, but fwiw you're not the first I've come across this complaint in the last few days...

how do you get the "x" session name?

Stopped reading DF ever since his unhinged posts mocking the war crimes being committed in Palestine at the hands of Israel.

"F*k around and find out" he quote tweeted a news article that talked about how phone and internet services were cut out in Gaza as armed Israeli occupational forces entered Gaza.

Wow, stunning shots!

> "Israel’s neighbors Jordan and Egypt have made peace with Israel"

The governments may have, but I can assure you the average citizen of those countries haven't, as they still have morals and haven't got US funding to buy their morals.

> "I think United States should be sanctioned."

They definitely should. Sick of the double standards. And the "USA can do no wrong but this tech in others' hands will be bad" takes.

I'm not annoyed that my OG Apple Watch Ultra doesn't get the latest OS. I get it - tech moves at a fast pace.

What I am annoyed about, is that I'm stuck with Watch OS 26, which introduced their new workout app, which is so laggy. One of the few things I use my Apple Watch for, and that UX is a major regression from previous OS versions.

I really wish they released a .x update to Watch OS26 to fix this.

My comment wasn't necessarily to talk about model parity across markets - more to highlight the growing trend of people buying large utility vehicles with a tray as a fashion statement (for lack of a better term) than for its utility.

> "a lot of those mods are passable without certification" Not true. Besides the bush lights, any changes in suspension and wheel size require a certification, with a LVVTA cert plate attached to the vehicle.

There is definitely a case of double standards with police enforcement. 'Boy racers' with modified coupes and sedans - typically lowered, with larger wheels - get way police scrutiny compared to utes with obviously illegal modifications like colored lights, and wheels jutting out past the fenders.

Same trend here in NZ. People buying utes/trucks just because they want, not because they need. They're not as big as the American F150s etc, more a Toyota Hilux or Ford Ranger.

And they're often driven by reckless road ragers, often modified with uncertified suspension, bush lights turned on at night blinding oncoming traffic, and wheels extending past the fender flares. These vehicles are often financed to the hilt, so spending money on certifying the modifications is out of the picture, so a lot of these are not legal to drive on the roads.

I'm in the market for a good TV to pair with my PS5 Pro for GTA6.

What brand does not do scummy things like this, or that I can easily avoid by not requiring me to download an app to set up?

I remember when tech news sites used to (rightfully) harp on about Chinese tech companies and how they should not be trusted given they satisfy every whim of the CCP.

But now large tech companies in America can't even challenge the naming of a Lake and just folded, meekly.

loose? only if they don't cook it well

For this reason alone it's DOA for me.

My thoughts on AI and how it's going to disrupt jobs is evolving.

I was very much in the doomer category last year, but less so now. For someone working in Accounting/Finance/Revenue roles, who has always had a keen interest on tech and software development (but never dedicated enough time to really learn a language to build something of my own), I had many ideas on tools that could be useful in my job - just never had the skill to build it.

Now that I have AI, I'm experimenting with building some of these solutions, but I must say: software development is hard. Yes, it would be a lot easier if I had others to work with, especially for things like UI/UX, understanding some of the more complex backend decisions etc. I imagine if I find it hard, people that haven't really been following tech trends would find it even harder.

Yes, you could get away with vibe coding a tool that only you would use, but once it goes beyond that, and it needs to be shared with colleagues, or if the aspiration is to market it, there are so many decisions one needs to make to be at least close to world class quality.

Things may change as more advanced models come about, but at this stage, I still think unless you're a seasoned developer with good design taste and UX experience, you need a team of people with various skills to build something that you hope to GTM with.

It's fun, though. I've created a few tools internally that has saved me so much time and developed functionality I would never have even entertained the idea of pre-agentic coding. I hope my career moves toward building solutions in this domain.

I can't find the stat, but if memory serves me correctly, NZ over-indexes in CSAM-related crime. It's unfortunate, but it's not always good news down on our little islands.
