Always been a big fan of the pad on the Macbooks, no one else seems to get it quite right. But yeah, can't like play a game with it or anything - not the same thing as a mouse at all. Plenty good for productivity though. The stupid clit mouse on IBM/Lenovo always threw me for a loop.

Interesting At the same time: Take-away: Epic can’t even sell their own crap on EGS very well

This is what the world needed right at this moment in time, I feel. It's like back in the 60's we had all this civil unrest and strife. War. Inflation. People hating people. Fear. And then, the clouds parted, and behold - unity and harmony Noctua is obviously the new Coca Cola. Only with 3d...

I'm not doing a gaming laptop. I'll switch to gaming on a potato first.

QD OLED is OLED (Samsung), but it isn't the same WOLED (LG). There was an article around here about a year ago detailing the difference, and QD OLED had a lot of issues, and at times IPS would beat it for image fidelity. Seems it had big issues with ambient lighting? But I can't recall exactly.

Would be nice if Epic could actually make the Windows version of their launcher worth a **** before forking a port off. GeForce Now - Because Now you can't buy a GeForce card at all!

Ruby eh? Is that like SSS rating?

I have a cheap Lenovo with a trackpad that acts similarly, I can barely use it on a good day.

Ran it on my ancient M1 MBP. It uploaded results but I don't know the URL to compare them. =============================================================== macOS Native Apple Silicon Multi-Core Benchmark Engine CPU detected : Apple M1 Threads : 8...

Ok I can't stop watching the cat and the hair just stretches like taffy. It's mezmerizing.

I could totally believe that. A lot of trackpads are capacitance based, and if you don't have a solid chassis ground on the laptop (very very few do), any amount of static will wreck havoc. Glass is notorious for building up static charge too, and it doesn't help that a lot of trackpad surfaces...

Oh I wouldn't hold my breath on that one, given the layoff hammer keeps swinging over there.

Betting they have 8 year olds huddled over in a cramped hut with no ventilation for 18 hours a day desoldering the VRAM off them. (Does it make me a bad person that I immediately think this?)

Wonder how much Netflix paid for this

I still haven't seen one of these mythical stores....
