Sorry to hear that bruh. Hope you come back to the Apple world one day.
Were the 70s the golden era of home computing? I wonder if we will ever have a time like that again.
It feels like the next breakthrough may be in robotics. But the cost of entry might mean it can’t be run from a garage with your mate.
"consumer hardware doesn't advance as quickly anymore…"
You don't follow Nvidia, do you?
I’d never heard of the Carrington event before. Thank you for that.
I would speculate you don’t know how to farm, hunt and slaughter an animal, build a house, reassemble a car engine, etc.
I know how to do all of those, except reassemble a car engine.. I stopped using automobiles 20 years ago. Military combat and survival training were among the best things I’ve ever learned.
No one outside of PC gamers care about Nvidia, and even then, a lot of gamers have years-old graphics cards as even high-end ones for 4-6 years ago are still very adequate.
What they are doing in the AI space is not consumer hardware.
You're right, the whole creative industry that makes use of CUDA based Nivida hardware means nothing.
Again, that's not consumer. That's business.
I guess you could at bitcoin to that if you want to include scams and grifts.
I tried it once just to be nosy, but that is it, I have no need for it. A normal search engine like duck duck go does the job fine.
Also look at the mistakes these AI services are making,
I have disabled Siri as well, more or less a couple of days after i got my mac, found no use for it, I don;lt have a microphone connected to this computer anyway
Future consumer hardware will be designed and built by companies using Nvidia hardware. Either buying or leasing it. And once it gets started, there's going to be a bullet train of new developments.
There won't be.
We've already hit the end of Moore's Law. Even Nvidia knows it.
Computing power increases from here on out will be incremental, not exponential - at least until or if quantum computing becomes a feasible technology. There are physical limits to how small traces on wafers can get, and we're getting close.
I’m not even sure quantum computing will be the way forward. Quantum computing deals with probabilities rather than absolutes. Also, quantum computers, in their current use, require below freezing temperatures in order to operate properly and the average user cannot afford such refrigeration facilities. I think we need to switch to a new technology - similar to the switch from vacuum tubes to transistors.

It does if Mac mini and iPhone both have developers beta 2.
It was fun doing that on a 40" 1080p TV.
It’s amazing they kept Rosetta alive this long. Unfortunately most of my Intel apps have some 32bit libraries. Wish we could compile missing 32bit libs like you can with Ubuntu, even on newer 64bit versions.
Because of this limitations I have to keep an Intel Mac mini around.
Not a developer so I dont understand this. What Intel apps are these?
That‘s 4-years ago. And let’s not forget it won’t suddenly stop working. It will still do everything that it could do when it was purchased. (For the record, I do concede if it was me, I’d be upset. That’s why I bit the bullet and got rid of my Intel MacBook Pro which was less than a year old when M1 Pro was announced.
I think that’s inevitable. At least it will be clear to the consumer which machines are supported and which start to lose access to new features.
They are improving every day. I now use one of these tools a few times a week to get real things done. You risk being left behind if you don’t embrace them.
Agree. He always seems awkward, but a company like Apple with Mr Jobs legacy demands a CEO who can fulfill the role in this way.
Need to be more efficient and use less energy, while my Mac mini uses a lot less energy than my old PC and is more powerful in some ways a lot of x86 CPUS are still energy hungry compared to arm based chips, While Arm is good, only have to look at Macs and also the new CPU for Co-pilot+ machines, it is still not possible to play high-end games on them and even my Mac mini M2 pro will struggle with 3D modelling
Going back to Apple Intelligence and AI in general, I head on the news that Google and microsofts carbon footbprint have increased because of AI. found these links on the net.
Google’s carbon footprint balloons in its Gemini AI era
Google says “reducing emissions may be challenging” as it integrates AI into its products.

Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI
Company will require certain suppliers to run on 100% carbon-free electricity ... by 2030
Nice one.
The point I'm making is it's unlikely our culture and systems will regress to a bygone 'everyone fend for themselves' era.
The fact macrumors exists is an example of what humanity has achieved. Only possible because we have systems around farming, power distribution, etc. Freeing people to pursue interests (science, art, education, etc) other than survival.
Hope to see you on the AI train one day.
Are you a time traveler? Please explain how you got an M4 MacBook Pro last year.
