On iOS, I feel like doing things take a few extra taps and swipes than they would on Android.

But on the whole apps made for iOS feel higher quality. Even Google’s own apps are better on iOS. I feel like the problem is that Apple forces developers to adopt changes quickly, whereas Google lets apps use years old API versions.

Funny, FSR2 helps me a lot but FSR3’s frame generation does nothing for me.

Makes sense that it includes snap given that KDE officially supports their apps packaged as snaps, unlike Gnome.

If I recall correctly, aren’t they going for an Arch base? I assume they’re going to be enabling AppArmor so that the snap sandboxing is mostly working, except for the patches Canonical have failed to upstream so far.

If they’re not including the proprietary Nvidia driver, they’re definitely not including ZFS.

I have two 1440p 170Hz monitors that I want to use with the new Mac Mini, but I'm a bit concerned whether they can reach their full potential. Apple's spec page says

Up to two displays: One display with up to 5K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one display with up to 8K resolution at 60Hz or 4K resolution at 240Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI

Doing some math, it seems like it should be supported. 5K at 60Hz should be equivalent bandwidth wise as 1440p at 240Hz. They say that can be paired with an 8K display at 60Hz, and 1440p at 170Hz should be lower bandwidth than that. But I would like to hear from others who have first hand experience.

Another question I have is if it's possible to get a Thunderbolt 4 hub that has two HDMI 2.1 ports or DisplayPort 1.4 ports and use that. Based on some Amazon listing warnings, it seems that MacOS only lets you use one of those ports to extend your display, the other would be just for mirroring. Though this shouldn't be the end of the world since the the Mac Mini has HDMI 2.1, I would just need to get a thunderbolt to HDMI 2.1 cable for my second monitor.

I would also appreciate Thunderbolt to HDMI 2.1 cable recommendations that are known to work at high refresh rates. Some Amazon reviews report the cables maxing at at 4k 60Hz (and not mentioning anything about 1440p max Hz).

I'm tempted by this too (or maybe the upcoming MacBook Air). I'm just worried that I'm not going to like MacOS. I'm pretty happy with Linux, like FOSS, but Apple just has the best hardware at the moment.

Nope, both on the same Wifi network. Can't think of why it would be showing differently. Not even force refreshing the page did anything. But I just checked again and now it's showing the right prices.

Huh

Mine shows this

It shows up as $599 on my iPhone, but not desktop.

Lowest I’m seeing from the preorder screen is $799.

Fair enough. It certainly benefits Apple if people with full photo libraries instead move those to iCloud with costly subscriptions.

Thankfully, the base model now has 16GB of RAM.

Drew started the project but he isn’t really involved anymore. Simon Ser is the lead maintainer now.
