Apple Says New Macbook Pro Has Only 16Gb Of Ram To Save Bat

It's often faster and easier to get work done with a *nix shell than it is to use a GUI.First thing I do with any new Mac: Install XCode, then install Homebrew. After that, it's only a command to install most of the software you need and it installs in seconds (or sometimes minutes if it is larger/more complex).There's just something nice about needing to find a line of data in a directory of large CSVs and only having to do: `cat * | grep $SEARCH_TERM`

What the fuck is wrong with these people? Time to use the fucking USB-C SD card adapter then :D/suicide

Wow ! What courage !

I'm just waiting for them to get rid of the monitor and say your screen size is now dependent on what iPad pro you buy

Eventually, it will be a mbp with no ports. You just buy a new one when the battery dies.

I'm told it's a perk.

It's not officially a supported scenario, but it turns out that MSFT has some really great engineers and their ABI replication is so good that a lot of stuff that they didn't intend to support, just works.

It's not *officially* supported but you can install an X server on Windows and then, from a Bash shell, run most graphical programs simply by exporting the DISPLAY environment variable as `:0`, like this:```
DISPLAY=:0 gedit
```

It wasn't a first priority when released. WSL is almost up to full Linux Kernel parity now

What do you do with the rest of the day if you only spend two seconds wallowing in self pity?

I mean they're the same people who got rid of the AUX port in their mobile device that was literally evolved from a music player.

> What the fuck is wrong with these people?Jobs is dead.Fuck your headphone jack, fuck your SD slot, fuck your everything if it's not thinner. Image is god and thin is pretty.

At least it's USB-C and not Lightning they're shoving down our throat for once.

Well I already have a USB adapter, so if I want to read my MicroSD card it would be:USB-C -> USB2 -> Multi Card Adapter -> SD-to-MicroSD Card -> MicroSD

Microsoft has always had some of the best engineers in the game. The issue is that their management and internal politics are kind of horrifying.
