Weird. I never noticed that. I bump mine up a bit from the default, but I don’t max it out. That’s way too fast for me to handle.

I do know there are ton of apps that will override the defaults. I think the OG better touch tool will let you max that thing to warp speed.

Although, in the v26 operating systems, cracks are showing. A lot of IT orgs are holding off on Tahoe for as long as possible.

True, but enterprise hardware has never been something that IT departments really wanted to upgrade. Even back when everyone had upgradable towers under their desk, IT departments just wanted to kit you out with something that lasted 3 years, then was replaced.

Hell, in the before times, when I’ve even wanted more storage, all of my IT departments were more inclined to give me an external HD than open a computer case. They’re busy and they generally want to do whatever is fast.

IMHO, it depends on the company, their data retention and security policy, and what you mean by “locked down.”

I’ve had IT departments that are comfortable giving everyone admin accounts and full sharing access, and IT departments that control every little thing that goes in and out of your machine.

My guess that they’re trying to standardize around a platform that has a) no Microsoft, b) won’t cause product / UX / marketing to totally revolt, c) is well supported as an engineering platform (in Silicon Valley)

Interesting. I’ve got of gripes with Apple hardware (price, upgradability, silly things like notches and Touch Bars,) but trackpads has never been one of them. I’ve always thought the’ve had some of the best trackpads.

What trackpad do you prefer and why?

Yup

When recently onboarding for a new job I heard something I never thought I would hear in my life.

Everyone was given a Mac. Eng, design, finance, HR. Everyone. In my onboarding cohort, someone in finance asked if they could have a Windows PC, which has been the backbone of finance orgs for decades. IT said no. They just didn’t want to deal with Microsoft’s enterprise ecosystem.

Sorry misread the parent comment. My dyslexic ass skipped “my”

Are you working for the government?

Someone will 100% create two big uniteeth.

After reading that article, this feels like something that I would want a trained professional to oversee.

Nvidia doesn’t make GPUs. TSMC does.

Nvida just sends them their design specs.

Apple, Google, Nvidia, etc. - all TSMC in Taiwan. A country that China would love to occupy given a good motivator.

Nah, they make them in the stockroom out of leftover shipping boxes and old VCRs.

I thought this was going to be a weird ass figure of speech.

Don’t forget web users. Duck duck go uses Apple Maps.

Refillable inkjets are starting to become a thing. Cool thing about those is that they’re often smaller than a color laser.

Given that I don’t print very often these days. I like having a small printer that I can chuck in a drawer or a closet during the 360 days of the year that I don’t need it.

That’s exactly what an LLM trained on Reddit would say.
