The base model moves the most. It’s always been that way.

Except that it doesn’t, and hasn’t been that way in more than a decade. In any given Apple tech lineup the more premium options always sell the most. This is a surprising headline because it actually defies the expectation.

What you said would make more sense if you were comparing laptops across brands, but not when comparing Apple devices.

For the last six years the MacBook Air was the cheapest option with the MacBook Pro being the premium option. During this time the more expensive MacBook Pro was the best seller between the two when you look at consumer sales.

Apples low end something’s usually do not sell gang busters. Thats why they’re surprised here, because their cheapest tier of a given device line selling the most is pretty rare for them.

Yes, which is why this news is surprising.

It’s interesting because it completely bucks the normal Apple trend where the best selling devices are their most premium offerings. People who buy Apple devices don’t usually want the cheapest base models, those folks usually turn to cheaper mid-market alternatives from other brands.

The fact that MacBook Neos are their top selling laptop is objectively sensational news precisely because, and to the contrary of your suggestion, it was not predictable at all.

The problem with that is you still have to buy the rest of the computer to put that 3090 in.

My MacBook Air with 24GB of unified RAM is enough to run something simple and useful.

It’s good for the same things machine learning has always been good for. Language synthesis and analysis. Selfhosting something like Paperless for document management. It actually has a very rudimentary learning engine for document classification for a long time but feeding document content to a local AI model for organization tagging is very useful.

Quick connect is not SSO. Because the topic is about non-technical end user friendly solutions, this isn’t a great one because this requires your user to login using a web browser on a different device and then use that for the quick connect and it’s just more clunky than it should really be.

It’s honestly easier in this situation to just configure your end users device with a mesh VPN like Tailscale or Netbird and then all they ever have to do is login with whatever password you gave them.

The plugin was neat, but if the clients don’t support it, it’s pretty much useless.

Jellyfin just doesn’t have it, period. There’s a third party plugin that will kind of tack it on to the Webui, but none of the Jellyfin apps will work with it.

I like how if it’s IPv6 it just gives up

The biggest problem with that Jellyfin to this day is that you can’t.

Seems like every new open source selfhosted app implements OIDC compatibility, but for some reason, I can only assume is technical debt, Jellyfin hasn’t.

This is why I’ve used Emby for the longest time.

Right so it was outsourced to Indians. Thats old news.

The information you provided did not prove what he said at all. Why are you lying about it?

Rhetorical of course, you’re a misinformation bot.

I’m still waiting on you to share your articles of proof, which obviously do not exist. If you’re not going to post them, then all that’s been proven is that you’re a misinformation bot who can’t back up his accusations. If you manage to post something, we can scrutinize it and I can explain to you why it’s misinformation. But you’d have to post them.

It’s not my job to find the nonexistent articles you’re talking about for you. The burden of proof is entirely on you here.

You were trying to help out that other misinformation bot find the made up event he was talking about and you couldn’t. I downvoted it because that’s what you’re supposed to do with unhelpful information.

You claimed multiple articles are proof of Protons wrongdoing and seem to be unable to provide a single one. If you can’t back up your accusations then that makes you the misinformation agent I’m afraid.

It’s not my responsibility to go find these ambiguous and unidentified articles you’re referencing for you. If I tried you’d just say “Oh that’s not one of the ones I meant”. If they are as abundant as you claim, you’d have no trouble finding a couple. So we can scrutinize them properly.
