I yearn for an updated version of the 12” MacBook with modern specs and keyboard. The 13” Air is way too large to be the smallest MacBook ;_;

As long as they provide the same utility / $ I don’t see why not. It’s not like the open weight models are that far behind and Claude code itself shouldn’t be very hard for the commmunity to replicate if Anthropic start acting up too much.

I’ve never seen a scroll related animation that I didn’t hate to some degree. I suspect that the issue is that I skim and scroll REALLY fast and the animations always break the feeling of the page being a real surface.

Apple is the worst offender. Some of their product pages make me physically uncomfortable like when you miscount the number of steps in a stair and step into empty air.

And it’s not that I’m sensitive to animations or motion in general. Video games are no problem at all even when the physics make no sense.

There’s something special about how good scrolling is on Apple’s trackpads and mobile screens which causes a really deep immersion for me. I have an Ubuntu desktop with an old school scroll wheel mouse and there the animations are just annoying but not uncomfortable.

Unless I’m completely missing something, those hooks still have the same names and semantics as always?

Not to mention those absolutely horrible scroll animations.

Reminds me of the time I asked Claude to write some Wordpress code for me. The results were…rough.

Even when using mjml you must do render tests of your templates using litmus or a similar service. Mjml is WAY better than hand rolling templates but there are foot guns to be found and the docs won’t mention most of them https://github.com/mjmlio/mjml/issues/2927#issuecomment-2539....

AFAIK that’s how incorporated companies work in Europe.

Here in Sweden we have A LOT of companies own and operated by state and local government and they’re all “aktiebolag” which literally translates to “stock companies”. For smaller businesses you can register as a sole proprietor and some other odd structures if you are a group of people. You’ll often see the same thing for non-profits as well.

There’s a reason for why you are comparing still shots to the actual video of Musk saluting the crowd nazi style.

What makes you say that? Unless I am mistaken, it’s only the Pro models who run at 2x by default.

Dry aged cheeses are safe to eat unpasteurized. Raw milk and relatively fresh cheddar are a lot riskier.

Agree 100%!

I’m a fast scroller and skimmer. Info scroll down and the text is not there I’ll just assume that the site is shot and close it. Ain’t nobody got 200ms to wait for a god damn fade in when there’s an infinite amount of sites out there to discover.

Sounds like the road to checkbox hell. Not to mention the added costs of supporting both the code and users with varying setting combos.

I had the 11” dual core i7 and I wouldn’t even call it slow (for its time). Loved that little machine and I keep longing for that form factor but with modern specs.

Personally I prefer the current solution to adding weight and size.

I can’t remember my battery draining below 50% since I bought my M5 a while back. 10+ years ago I agree that the needs were different but these days needing swappable batteries seems like a very minor niche IMHO.

MacBook batteries have not been permanently glued in for quite some time. Replacement requires some disassembly but is perfectly doable for most techies.

You can just use a third party shop.
