Soy sauce, Kikkoman isn’t going to be beat by a store brand. Likewise with Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce.

Some brand name chocolate (Hersheys) is disgusting due to their use of butyric acid. Vomit chocolate

That picture is from combat in Syria in 2017. That’s still accurate to today. They still drop bombs like that, they aren’t all glide bombs.

Sub $400 windows laptops have disgusting trackpads, plastic outer cases, washed out uncalibrated screens, and poor battery life compared to an M1 MBA. Not even remotely an option.

I disagree it’s overpriced. The base model Air at $850 is great, meets their needs, and decreases the amount of family sysadmin tasks I’d have to do for them if they had Windows or Linux laptops.

The leaves are folding upwards like that due to high temps and/or too much light. They’re attempting to reduce the amount of light hitting them by reducing exposed surface area. Not ideal, but in general it looks like a good harvest. I’d try to reduce temps and light intensity and it should be golden.

I did not say that. I said I’d actually like 16GB. It’s my family users (normal, non nerds) who have no issue with 8GB RAM and having 30+ tabs and two dozen apps running. Memory management handles multitasking very smoothly, and I’ve not found many apps that are limited by 8GB. I’d like 16 for the few times I edit on laptop, typically I use my desktop.

How do you know I’m in the minority when I didn’t say how I use my laptop? I don’t get it. I do use it to its potential, and there’s no logo on the back. It’s in a case.

Also not overpriced with the base model, which is what I have.

Beats the $800-1200 PC laptops that I would consider trash based on the trackpad and display. I’ve had it for years now and haven’t found myself wanting for anything but dual booting.

I dunno, I’ve got a base model M1 and it feels like one of the best laptops I’ve owned. Overpriced is exactly what I feel it isn’t. $1000 for a decent laptop is not bad. Nothing below that price has a good trackpad.

A more apt analogy would be to use the truck bed size. Horsepower is more akin to the CPU speed.

Most people don’t fill their truck bed just like most people don’t fill their RAM. I’ve had no issues with my family users who just do typical light laptop tasks on 8GB RAM. I think the memory upgrades need to be much, much cheaper, but 8GB works absolutely fine IME. I would like 16GB but it’d be a waste for the other users in my household.
