I wasn’t aware that was ever the main argument to keep track of who and how many people cops kill every year.

I’m not filling my USB ports with wireless devices though. They’re either wired devices or I’m charging them. The fact that with the new Macbook I have to choose between either charging the laptop or being able to do anything as simple as plug it into a separate monitor (or throw an $80 adaptor at it) is ridiculous.…

I wasn’t advocating doing it, only suggesting that there were plenty of slower SSDs already being used in laptops.

If you read the original CNET article you’ll see these cards are apparently noteworthy for their fast transfer speeds (around 300 MB/s.) There’s certainly worse SSDs than that.

Both Apple and Dell are fairly awful about refreshing their product line often enough to get newer parts, which means even when you can get a discrete video card (and there’s only *one* Apple laptop that even has one at the moment) they’re often out of date and terribly expensive for what you’re getting…

Kickstarter doesn’t do flexible funding. You either meet your goal or you get none of it. Indiegogo allows for flexible funding, but so far as I know they don’t have nearly the same success with video game campaigns as Kickstarter does.

I think if you don’t necessarily need the mobility of a laptop, there’s a lot having a decent case offers. Even if you’re going for the mid-range. A $250 desktop card still stretches a hell of a lot further than the equivalent value in a laptop does.

There’s definitely a price band where you just can’t get an Intel with a discrete graphics card to offset the integrated graphics offered by AMD.

Sounds more like it suffers from the worser sin of merely being mediocre.

I’m still paying for the access I have available to me though. Should my movies, music, and video games stop working too when I enter another country?

Look how easily you tell yourself you don’t really need certain functionality. It’s hardly a strawman, you’re readily practicing it right here. And for what? A few less ounces of weight and an even thinner MacBook no one really asked for. You’ll pardon me if I don’t toss my I/O out for that.

Yeah, it’s hard for me to read articles about new Mac products sometimes. You end up with people arguing they’re just going to tailor their usage around whatever restrictions the new hardware has (like the new Macbook’s single USB-C port, necessitating dongles for just about everything at the moment), rather than…

trks’s link is a good start, but I would say it depends on how much you have already and in part what you consider an equivalent replacement for the monitor included in the iMac. You can’t buy the smaller size separately, but you might not need that kind of monitor for gaming anyway.

The dark side doesn’t care enough about the ability to play games for me to ever seriously consider it. It’s kinda ridiculous the cheapest Mac with a discrete video card starts at $1499 (an iMac with a 2 year old 750M.)

Sounds like you’re more bothered by the fact that feminists like the film than you are with the praise it’s been getting. It’s OK to like something feminists like, they won’t get cooties on you.

Why wouldn’t they be getting paid? You’re paying for Netflix, and I can only hope you’re not arguing that Netflix is pirating the media they stream. Why wouldn’t some of that money go towards securing the content on the service?

I think the existing system can work. It makes more sense to me to try and expand the definition of what a mature game is than create another rating that will invariably be labeled as “adult” and prevented from seeing retail distribution.

Yeah, I filled my card practically with PS+ titles, though I ended up deleting a bunch when they didn’t work. Most of the indies work, a handful of the regular titles do.

It plays a very specific set of games. The list likely isn’t comprehensive, but you definitely want to make sure what you want to play is compatible before considering it. There’s supposed to be a method to circumvent this (honestly there’s tons of games that SHOULD work but arbitrarily don’t because they haven’t been…

vita cards don’t really count as they’re like carts and not memory sticks
