Anyone know if this works fine alongside work profiles (seems like it doesnt conflict) and if apps like insular/shelter are going to be able to configure the private space?

Edit: partially answered my question. Set up a private space just fine (though I can’t access it since I’m not using the OS launcher) and it doesnt conflict with the work profile.

You also don’t need to create another google account for it.

You could argue the rationality of an effort before any major technology or cultural breakthrough for all of human history, yet the reason those breakthroughs happened was due to humans acting irrationally by accident or on purpose.

There are many tipping points, and we dont always know if we’ve hit one yet or not. The drastic increase in sea temperature the last two years is possibly a tipping point we’ve passed, esp since the warmer the water is, the less co2 its able to absorb. OMAC shut down (if it happens) is possibly a tipping point, which will only feedback loop into warming waters.

Honestly, the permafrost melt is more likely to be the KO punch after one or more other tipping points accelerate it.

Agreed. I don’t like the magic mouses size, but the weight + multitasking gestures makes it the one I put in my laptop bag for use on the go.

Meh. I got one for free from a job’s tech allowance, and it’s never really a problem. It charges fast and the OS warns you early enough to plug it in on a lunch break or at the end of the day well before it runs out. Not ideal but def not garbage. Honestly, I get more frustrated with noise canceling headphones and keyboards dying at inconvenient times than I ever do the mouse.

I dont use it daily, but it is a pretty good mouse for my laptop bag. Charge holds a long time for once/week use. If it’s dead when I get to the coffee shop or wherever I’m working, itll be usable in 15 mins or less anyway. It also works nicely with Linux out of the box, which is a rarity among Bluetooth mice (in my experience).

The other elephant in the room: not having multitasking gestures on a mouse when using macOS is a serious drawback for any other mouse out there, so there is a reason people are willing to put up with the annoyance (if they ever get annoyed in the first place)

Most of the time its the fault of the developer if a page only works in chrome.

Idk for sure, but if excalidraw uses canvas then there are a lot more possible machine/OS specific problems that come up. Web browser features that hand tasks off to the GPU have gotten a lot better over recent years but there are still oddities like max shaders for a specific browser/OS/GPU combo that’ll lead to some funny behavior.

I mean, the issues were present and widely reported for several months before Intel even acknowledged the problems. And it wasn’t just media reporting this, it was also game server hosts who were seeing massive deployments failing at unprecedented rates. Even those customers, who get way better support than the average home user, were largely dismissed by intel for a long time. It then took several more months to ship a fix. The widespread nature of the issues points to a major failure on the companies part to properly QA and ensure their partners were given accurate guidance for motherboard specs. Even so, the patches only prevent further harm to the processor, it doesnt fix any damage that has already been incurred that could amount to years off of its lifespan. Sure they are doing an extended warranty, but thats still a band-aid.

I agree it doesnt mean one should completely dismiss the possibility of buying an Intel chip, but it certinally doesn’t inspire confidence.

Even if this was all an oversight or process failure, it still looks a lot like Intel as a whole deciding to ship chips that had a nice looking set of numbers despite those numbers being achieved through a degraded lifespan.

But how else will Brandon Eich fund his homophobia and covid conspiracies?

There are plenty of carriers which don’t do that, even in the US, assuming you are willing to part with a big name carrier.
