It’s because they launched this product with an actual reasonable amount of ram (16gb) compared to the 8gb they are still selling MacBooks with. So, if they can’t charge you $300 for a little bit of ram now, they instead are going to rape you on storage. Apple is still apple.

The most confusing part about this is that people are still playing GTA Online. Why…?

You’re only getting 4 TB the size of your pinky nail. 8TB is the size of your thumbnail. Most people can’t be arsed to read the article, but you couldn’t even read the headline?

I don’t even understand how HP still exists. Can anyone name a single product they’ve made in the last ~15 years that wasn’t a complete piece of junk?

Okay, but he’s trashing it the fastest and for the dumbest reasons.

On the other side of this coin, my Skullcandy Indy ANC earbuds have been such garbage that I have swore off all Skullcandy products forever. Even since they were new the case would show full charge and you’d open it up to find totally dead earbuds. If you left them dead for too long they would stop charging completely. At this point the only way to revive them is to strip some wires and “jump start” them with another battery. I’ve had to do this so many times I just keep the wires taped to a AA battery. I filed a warranty claim for this the first time and they denied me any sort of support, even though the Internet shows my case is not unique and actually very common.

Fuck Skullcandy.

No but at the same time you shouldn’t buy a bike from Walmart either because it will turn you off of biking pretty fast.

Ultra dumb mode. Others only go up to 10, but googles goes all the way to 14.

Child labor

and Gerber the knife brand used to be an absolute seal of quality but now the majority of their items are cheap chinese-manufactured garbage. Only the top dollar knives are still any good. It’s quite sad really.

for $10,000 I want at least wifi8

Wrong. That took time and effort and some level of knowledge from the user, meaning the end product was still somewhat rare. We already know that a decent “AI” image generator can spit these out in seconds with zero skill or knowledge required from the user.

Some people prefer a Mac because it integrates nicely with the rest of the Apple ecosystem. matches the rest of their overpriced wardrobe.

That is the phone I was originally referring to, except mine in the 2022 version. And I understand the sigh. I do it every time someone asks me what kind of phone I have.

Indeed, many people must have a mac as it is a fashion accessory.

It’s weird how you draw the line at MacBooks for being overpriced, considering every other apple device you name dropped is equally overpriced.

My mid-range smartphone from 2022 has 8gb of ram. I paid $250 for it brand new.

The average computer user can get by with 8GB just fine

Hard disagree. The average computer user is idling at 5gb already because the average computer user is stupid.

I thought you said news. This just looks like spam?

Whhaaat they made good games at least until 1998. It was right around the time they switched from using the full Electronic Arts moniker to just “EA” that the quality really tanked.
