That “ Microsoft CEO Satya Narayana Nadella Has a Very Dark Past as a Refund Scammer”.

One of the upsides of Lemmy’s smaller size is there is, relatively speaking, a good selection of quality conversation. On the other the hand the garbage really sticks out, particularly if you’re someone who sorts by NEW.

All the underlying data is the same. Only differences are the ways to visualize it.

It's a pretty niche product and most of the advantages over the Mac Studio are really not consumer facing.

While the cooling solution in the Studio is quite good, the Mac Pro's larger chassis should allow for even better cooling which may allow for greater sustained workloads, such as video transcoding and all types of rendering.

While the Studio makes sense for end-users, if you have have a shop that does distributed computing, rendering, etc. the rack mount option is appealing as you can have all the horsepower and supporting infrastructure, e.g. networking, power, tucked away neatly in a closet as opposed to sprawled across your workspace.

Thunderbolt is great for attaching external consumer storage, but if you have petabytes of video and audio stored on a fibre-channel NAS or DAS, with multiple users accessing it, that's not the type of thing you're going to sustain on people's desktops.

Its primary target is medium to large scale, distributed computing. It's not a high end desktop, it's a server class device.

A balancing act for sure. I’m torn on the topic. With some much excitement right now but so little history there’s a lot of uncertainty where to “plant your flag”. Part of me wants to setup my own instance simply so I maintain control of my identity should .world suddenly disappear. On the other hand now I have the responsibility of making sure I don’t make myself disappear. The mental debate will continue.

A key component you are disregarding is that the internet was much smaller and pioneered by tech-savvy enthusiasts well into the late 90s. People her were perfectly willing to invest gyrations to make something complicated work.

Those days are gone. Though you may consider it entitlement people, generally, expect things to just work. They don’t want, and arguably shouldn’t have, to figure it out. Friction is friction and people have every right to express their discontent with friction.

I’ll argue that you insisting that people stop complaining places you in the same category as /u/spez.
