Yes hopefully it improves over time (or RISC-V catches up). I'm not sure the fan really needs to go as hard as it does, but I haven't found any way to control it.
Not the person you’re responding to but yes, pretty much all of modern tech is awful.
The specs are pretty good but then you don’t really own it, you get limitations on what you can use it for, you get rent seeking and walled gardens everywhere. Even if you’re paying you get ads and get tracked. Updates make products worse more often than not.
A little credit please?! I don't use AI anything. I code my stuff the old fashioned way with nested if/else statements that make you cry trying to follow along. And damn the coworker that interrupts your debugging asking if you got their email or not.
Can speak for someone who managed a racked [1] Mac Mini racked as a server in 2015~2018:
* Profile Manager / MDM
* Caching server for OS updates
* Thunderbolt connection to a PCIe RAID HBA for a JBOD for NAS file sharing
All these things/use cases now are depreciated, MDM via JAMF in the cloud, internet is fast enough that caching OS updates isn't necessary, and NAS's are much better suited.
The game they’re playing isn’t to make new products or to make the products they have better. They’re playing the game of making the line go up and as much as I dislike them I have to say that they’re being successful
I wouldn’t mind YouTube if my kids asked to watch videos of volcanoes.
Instead they always end up trying to watch the most annoying people possible playing video games for a few minutes before we ask them to switch it off.
If YouTube really cared about kids they should allow users to pick a subset of channels and never ever mention again anything else.
Alas, we all know this will never happen because YouTube doesn’t care about what people watch as long as they come back watching some more
27W at idle and very noisy fans is not great but I guess we have to start from somewhere.
