>ChatGPT image gen is just straight up better

Yet so much slower than Gemini / Nano Banana to make it almost unusable for anything iterative.


When Jobs took over Apple he didn’t have a device in a quarter of the world’s pocket.

Apple absolutely needs a management layer, both for school and for family. Apple family controls are sorely broken.

Our work macs are tied into microsoft’s intune thingy, pretty sure that’s enough for most orgs.

Not that i’m a fan of it, but meh it exists.


That’s not free. Apples Apple ID management is atrocious. How do you password reset an ID you own?

They need to move to having the students ID under both their parents and the school, detachable from the school when a kid moves.

The devices need to be enrolled to the org and then act as thin clients so any kid can log onto any laptop, not have the laptop locked down to a specific kid.

Apple Parental controls are either controllable on the kids device or one parents device but not both at the same time and definitely not two parents at the same time. Whose bright idea was it not to allow two parents to see and manage a kids settings from their own devices, at the same time. That’s a lot of the world that doesn’t appear to anticipate two parents wanting to manage a kid from separate accounts, but Apple should know better.


300*500 kids is 150k and the difference between a school choosing chromebooks again. This is priced against the $450 Chromebook.

From someone in this thread with actual experience:

>Chromebooks in EDU cost approximately $290 (+- $10) per unit. >For the cost of 10 Neos, I can buy 17 Chromebooks.


and an aluminum case may last 30% longer than plastic.

Agreed.

This is really nice for schools.

I really want this to work for me too, just because of those colors, but the RAM is really the only issue. Oh well, at least this forces every other budget laptop to compete harder.


RAM need shave changed slightly post nvme. Normal people apps can swap just fine with a pretty seamless experience. Average people aren’t opening single files that can’t fit into 5gb of ram.

RAM is also an insanely high percentage of computer price right now. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/hp-says-memory-co...


If only a human could edit the output before posting.

Ironically, the editors probably haven't opened a text editor for months.

once they get a phone they switch from cards to go.

Their extended popularity should be viewed closer to praying on addiction than an accomplishment of culture. The phone game, by removing the exploration of outside aspect, became just mindless collecting. If you have ever been to an event as an outside spectator, there is as much anxiety in their air as joy.

Pack opening is the equivalent of pulltabs or scratch offs. It's an asset class closer to beanie babies than baseball cards, because there is no tie to a rookie going on to have a huge career or anything but artificial scarcity.

Addiction has always been a component here.


Interesting idea. Voice modulation software that converts your voice to how you sound in your own head.

I imagine it sort of like an eye test. Play two samples, A/B test in rapid succession until you get a match.


Microsoft Recall wasn’t popular because it was Microsoft, but it is actually what people want.
