I'm using Parallels and it is great on an Apple Silicon Mac, but I'm a long-time VMware Workstation and Fusion user, so I'd like to try it again.
Driving at 80mph on a highway will greatly reduce the range of any EV, compared to 45 mph. Using high-draw features like heating (also depends on the type of heating used) will also drain the battery faster.
Cold temperatures also reduce range, but it depends on the EV. Teslas cool or heat the battery to keep an optimal battery temperature. Nissan Leaf uses air cooling, which means repeated supercharging in hot weather overheats the battery, so they cannot make long trips. So Teslas are less affected by hot and cold temperatures than some other EVs. So it depends on the EV.
EV users need to educate themselves on how electric cars operate regarding range. It's not unique to Tesla by any means.
Then in the future, depending on your needs, use alternative applications, like many of the excellent Affinity programs such as Affinity Photo (vs Adobe Photoshop), Affinity Designer (vs Adobe Illustrator), etc. that are an affordable one-time purchase. Likewise Luma Fusion video editor (on iPad) instead of Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut.
I thought not.
Oh wait, they didn't actually turn on Full Self Driving, so the whole "test" is bogus.
Disingenuous.
I recently put the latest Ubuntu LTS Linux on a spare laptop, as I needed a laptop. Sure, it was fun configuring everything for a day or so. But then it started to grind me down, as Linux always seem to do (for a personal computer - it's fantastic on servers).
Then I had a new, big project come in and bought a new MacBook Pro 13" with the M1 chip.
Wow.
I have never had a computer anywhere near as nice as this. Very fast. Light. Days of battery. Screen is fantastic. Best keyboard I've ever used. Best trackpad I've ever used by far. Never gets hot, barely warm, fan rarely comes on. I can do things like extend my screen to my iPad Pro 12.9" OR use Universal Control to control both from either keyboard/mouse/trackpad.
It has the Touchpad, which I'm undecided about but mostly like.
I work on Linux servers all the time, and the free/open source iTerm2 is a really really good terminal app.
It's BSD Unix under the hood, so most Linux commands also work here, and there's Homebrew to install whatever you like.
And the productivity apps are fantastic, many of which only exist on the Apple platforms, like Omnifocus.
So yes, I like Linux, but I'm so much more productive using a Mac these days.
So I don't really get where the OP is coming from.
Like window tracking - yes, I've used that on Linux but I actually find it equally annoying. If it's on, I don't like it. If it's off, I sometimes miss it ;-)
Apple is not looking at images, it makes a hash of the images and then looks to see if they match known child porn. Only it there is an excessive amount (30 images is what I read previously) do they do anything.
There is a lot of evil in this world, including child porn, and up to this point not a whole lot is being done about it.
I think this is a good step.
Do I want them look for anything further, no, of course not.
But as I said, Apple isn’t alone in this. Google is reported to censor user documents in the Google Cloud. That to me is far, far worse than what Apple is doing.
You’re safest on an Apple device, far more than Windows or Android, but people single out Apple.
I just don’t get it.
Looking ahead, now with the M1 chip on the iPad Pro, it seems the next step for Apple would be to allow a lot more power in iPadOS, especially since it is a different OS than iOS on iPhone. We shall see. In the meantime, I plan to get the 2021 iPad Pro 12.9 to replace my 2018 12.9 and look forward to WWDC for any iPadOS announcements.
Linking notes (or even creating them) is as easy as type [[ and then type the (new) name and ]] and boom it is linked or a new note created (as you type the name it searches for existing notes of course).
A powerful idea, but it appears that it is anything but new lol
Use for free on Mac, Windows, Linux. Support them for early access to iOS and Android beta apps. Stores all your notes as plaintext markdown files.
Optionally pay to sync (encrypted) with their sync across devices.
I really like Markdown - that’s what brought it to my attention.
It setup Ubuntu 18.04 very well, with wifi, Bluetooth, audio, ethernet, those are not unusual. But also the brightness controls, the keyboard backlighting controls, the trackpad, the volume control keys. Everything and all hardware worked out-of-the-box. I was very pleasantly surprised. Been using it for months now and it works a charm. And yes I made a donation and was very happy to do so.
Kudos!
This - Deskreen - I ordered a dongle on Amazon, plugged it in, installed Deskreen with a single command and boom it works! Multiple resolutions available to choose from, decent performance, kudos!
This is on Ubuntu 18.04 with an iPad Pro 12.9” and it looks glorious.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ;-)
I was puzzled because my man pages are already colorized ;-)
Plus: * The hard drive wasn’t “stolen” - it was forfeited when the customer didn’t pick it up and pay the bill. That’s called a mechanic’s lien. Try taking your car into the shop and then never pick it up - same thing happens. * So at that point the laptop belongs to the shop. * How is it “stolen”, then? * If I had a laptop like that in my possession, I would be afraid too, and want to hand it off!
You’re being disingenuous :-/
