He’s also been shipping the smaller petaflop tinyboxes with either nvidia or amd.

I’ve read this a couple of times now but when I check the pcpartpicker price trend for ram it is flat.

Gemini-cli is much worse in my experience but I agree

Super key for most keybinds is much nicer than windows in my opinion, where it is entirely wasted on opening the start menu. On Linux it gains a few functions based on the desktop environment but not much.

The use of the Windows key extends far beyond the start menu. Builtin functions include window management, invoking programs on the taskbar, locking the computer, invoking Explorer and Settings, invoking and controlling accessibility functions like Magnifier. The Microsoft Power Toys add a lot of functions using the Windows key by default as well, like screen snipping, screen OCR, color picking, enhanced clipboard, and many more.

My problem is that I don’t use the majority of these functions at all. Command I can use for almost everything no matter how frequent or infrequent. It also replaces most “ctrl+shift” binds which is a great plus for me.

That’s still like 10 uses vs unlimited uses on macOS

Having a key reserved for OS level actions means you can create your own shortcuts and macros based on it without fear of it conflicting with each app shortcuts.

Since operating systems also don't change often nowadays there is also seldomly any conflicts when a new system shortcut is added.

I also love good old Meta + left click/right click drag for moving and resizing windows in linux.


It may be ten uses, but it's ten uses I use constantly throughout the day.

You must not use MacOS. Command gets used all over the place, even during editing. And in Emacs it gets used as Super, which opens up some options.

Even just the window management category is more than ten uses. And it is unlimited uses, as you can assign additional shortcuts however you like.

That thing is NOT related to tinybox or tinygrad in any way. It is basically copyright infringement. Unless you’re astroturfing here I suggest you get your money back.


Wasn’t astroturfing, I’ll look into it, thanks.


Sorry for even mentioning astroturfing, haha. It’s just because the promotion of the device is based on trying to fool people it was made by tiny corp.


In my case they apparently succeeded.


I feel like the Mac lineup is still coherent especially compared to basically every other laptop manufacturer. The iPad lineup I don't know.


On my M1 Air I have: Percentage Used: 4% Data Units Read: 564,731,366 [289 TB] Data Units Written: 182,194,700 [93.2 TB] and I thought I was using it extensively haha.


Sell it on eBay instead. I saw a post today where an M4 pro MacBook that cost 4k last year has a trade in value of 1.1k now.


The X925 core is used in chips like the gb10 for the nvidia dgx spark. So it is relevant to compare to apple silicon performance imo. The mac studio is pretty much a competitor to it.


The intention behind lockdown mode is protection for a select few groups of people such as journalists, that are at risk of having software like Pegasus used against them. It’s to reduce the attack surface. The average user wouldn’t want most of it as a default setting, for example: almost no message attachments allowed, no FaceTime calls from people you haven’t called and safari is kneecapped. Making this a default setting for most people is unrealistic and also probably won’t help their cybersecurity as they wouldn’t be targeted anyway.
