Reply to comment by devtesla in I think it's funny that Apple's M-series chips are so good by twovests

haha, what the fuck. this is hilarious

i think apple does bin some, you usually get a few numbers of cores to choose from, but i believe that's only two tiers per processor.

i know it's still impressive to design your own silicon, but the magic is just monopoly? the "apple sucks forever" nerd in me stays winning

Looks like they've basically bought up the latest processes since 2014. Note that these "3nm" processes they're talking about are just marketing terms at this point, but the lower the nm process the better it is, generally.

Also apple not paying for defective chips is crazy. Part of the reason that cpus come in a billion different models is binning, the best ones are in the most expensive parts and the ones with defective cores turned off make it into the cheaper ones. Apple I guess doesn't deal with that at all.

Reply to as a fellow creator of an internet platform that might be used to distribute wallpapers, i pledge to never drive >95 mph in a 35 zone in order to promote jstpst or any other brands by emma

had to look this one up but wow. going 150 km/h in a 60 is absolutely deranged. if you get caught doing that shit you should not be allowed to drive. i feel like a criminal going 5 km/h above the speed limit on the motorway - i don't understand how or why, but it seems like its become endemic in american culture to go over 30 mph above the speed limit at nearly all times

Reply to comment by emma in induction stoves are complete dog shit by emma

could be. it was a hot plate with a single induction element. there are some kitchen supply stores in my area that also sell to regular consumers, so it may not necessarily be unobtainable to the average jane.
