    You don’t want a 5" thick 50lbs laptop, you want something with Apple Silicon MacBook Pro hardware but more than 3 Thunderbolt ports for connectivity and not from Apple.

    The thing lasts forever on battery, outperforms pretty much every (even wall-powered) x86 laptop chip, and has a ridiculously bright screen for a laptop. It’s missing the ports and upgradeability (and easy Linux but that’s another thing).





  • I once read someone blaming directors/producers mixing movies with theaters or full-on perfectly-tuned surround setups in mind instead of the 2.0 TV speakers and earbuds most people actually use, and I don’t know how true it actually is but it sure makes intuitive sense.

    Then again, I still have to wear my ANC earbuds in the theater without them playing anything because the score and sound effects are so loud.
















  • The current state of digital makes it a lot quicker, cheaper, and more convenient to take high quality photos and videos, but I think the best widely available film still has the best widely available digital beat in terms of quality. If you get someone who really knows what they’re doing to capture, store, and transfer a photo of a famous person from the first half of the 1900s it could be very high resolution.

    That said, this picture looks pretty weird. His skin looks like modeling clay or plastic and the focal length isn’t consistent.
