That so ridiculous it’s funny as hell.

Only 40 years to resettle their entire population, by which time they’ll basically be Atlantis.

To be it looks like Australia’s getting the better end of the deal with Tuvalu essentially agreeing to be a military foothold of Australia in the Pacific.

As an Australian who’s travelled a fair bit I’d say the level of racism in Australia varies depending on where you are and most parts of the world I’ve visited are more racist than the major cities of Australia. But that’s just my personal observation.

That’s absolutely not true. The M3 Max just about brings Apple performance up to similar levels as Intel and AMD. The Ryzen 9 7945HX3D for example is a laptop processor which trades blows with the M3 on benchmarks - single core the M3’s slightly faster and multi core the Ryzen’s slightly faster - and in performance per watt the Ryzen’s marginally better. So really it’s just catching up with older laptop processors from other manufacturers.

And if you venure outside the laptop space to compare ultimate speed it’s nowhere near the fastest, particularly in multi-threaded. Its multi-threaded performance is around 13% of the AMD EPYC 9754 Bergamo for example.

Hilariously non self aware.

But they don’t want anyone to get out.

It’s actually 25. But it’s amazing to think that people in Florida can get 30 years just for possessing some weed. I think it might be the US that has the problem here.

Remember the Samsung battery issues being all over the news a few years ago and everyone saying, “Apple never has these problems”? Meanwhile Apple was literally breaking people’s phones to reduce fires and paying people off to keep quiet about their battery fires. Nice. 🔥

Post-1980s tech companies maybe. But not most companies, no.

USB is the new defacto standard DC outlet. It’s only suitable for fairly low power (240W) though. That’s enough to charge your laptop but not enough to run a gaming PC.

there’s basically nothing out there for laptops that comes close to the M2 Pro

The Intel Core i9-13980HX laptop CPU is between 20% and 100% faster than the M2 Max on nearly every benchmark.

Basically few to non-existent cases where M2 is faster than either Intel or AMD’s best. On power consumption however it’s a total win for Apple. But performance… No. Not in any way.

Compared to Apple?

I don’t think 41 states realise that kids wouldn’t touch Facebook if you forced them. Instagram on the other hand…

Because they often don’t get updated when security updates become available

They’re deliberately drafting troops from rural areas as much as possible to minimise the number of angry parents in the major cities who might actually mount a visible complaint.

Nice way to openly declare your intention to commit crimes under international law.

So skeptical. And then a few hours later the US gives its blessing for exactly that: https://lemmy.ml/post/6687184 .

And the Israeli defense chief says “troops will soon see Gaza ‘from inside’”

It’s not like they have a choice about their government. There’s no voting and hasn’t been for decades.
