    90K+ Macbook M4 Pro or Mac Mini M4

    Not the right interpretation. Protecting a phone with case and tempered glass is good enough in most cases. Mac repairs without warranty are costly affairs. For MacBook Pro, Logic board costs north of 70k to replace and in many cases where a minor part on the board goes kaput, Apple repair...

    90K+ Macbook M4 Pro or Mac Mini M4

    I took MBP last year and it is my first personal laptop ever. Been using desktop from college days. Was never a laptop guy. But now, desktop does not make sense unless you are gaming. Also, MBP with M4 Pro will be as powerful as Mac mini with m4 pro. Forget about the Mini. Get MacBook. Have...

    90K+ Macbook M4 Pro or Mac Mini M4

    Just get the best spec you can and buy. I would pick MBP over mini. Apple care plus is a must though so factor in that cost.

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    So true. 3 trillion $ company. One side they say 'we are green blah blah' and on the other hand their fanbase says 'we do not turn off our apple computers' when people asked why the power button is placed there. Has to be the dumbest argument ever. Even if it is sleeping at 1W per hour...

    Bad news for coders?

    Now, this is the kind of jobs/freelancing that AI will replace. If I am creating basic apps or programs by taking help from AI, AI can handle it end to end for simple apps in the future because the code is already there in public repos.

    Bad news for coders?

    You asked AI if AI will replace jobs. Isn't that like asking Trump if he is better at programming than programmers? The text surely looks like AI got some training from Trump. :D Real power of AI is in jobs that need lot of manual calculation or where there is lot of permutations and...

    Bad news for coders?

    The same way RPA is supposed to end all process jobs in the world? Recent layoffs in IT jobs are due to economic condition and has not much to do with AI. People forget that AI too is a 'software' that is written by programmers. AI features makes life easier for us, not replace entire industry...

    Bad news for coders?

    Try code review function of copilot in VSCode. It is pretty decent. If I have no idea what the program is to start with, I can ask copilot and it explains what the code is and also highlights what can be improved. This is 25% of the time saved for me.

    Bad news for coders?

    I am a python automation developer and I am also part of application team that develop massive CRM application. Statement: AI wrong 25% of code. Reality: AI helped programmers write code 25% faster. For AI to be able to write code after looking at problem statement or project description, it...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    Throwing money at SFF (marketing etc) is waste of money and effort at this point of time. Most places where PCs are uses are in offices (not IT companies) where they run old version of windows and software that is not compatible with WoA. Those softwares may never get support/update to work on...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    ARM is not going to cancel Qualcomm's license given how much money Qualcomm is paying ARM. This looks more like payback from ARM as Qualcomm rallied against nvidia-arm merger. And this is a good time to get higher license and royalties now that Qualcomm is going into PC market. Dev kit is...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    I really doubt if there will be lot of sales for the Mini as people are moving farther away from desktops for normal use. Would be amazing 'parent PC' though. Takes very little space, just works for years and years. There are many elders in my community who just need a very good PC for trading...

    Only if they think that 16GB base model won't eat into MacBook Pro sales.

    Car & Bike Ather scooters

    They had early to market advantage and they treated scooters like Chinese smartphones. Their sales are centered around heavy discounts. Won’t sustain for long. Bajaj and TVS has ramped up network a lot and are going to take the market from Ola. Not to forget that Honda is coming with Activa EV...

    Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 9 285K is reportedly (slightly) slower than the i9 14900K in gaming

    Isn’t anno memory intense game? I definitely did not reach hundreds of hours of game time on civ6. Are you in investor stage? If so 32gb may not be enough.

    Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 9 285K is reportedly (slightly) slower than the i9 14900K in gaming

    No it does not. I have 5800X (non-3D) that I have paired with 3090 (used 1650 earlier). I had played AOE and Civilization 6 when I had 1650 GPU. In current setup, every game is lag-free. There are few games like Cyberpunk that show sign of slowness if I put RT at max without frame generation...
