I moved to Cornwall when I was 3 and did most of my growing up there. Stupidly, I left around the year 2000. Whenever I go back to visit, it still feels like home and the place I belong.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Poor quality aside, they also allow (& even help) sellers to rip off other artists' work (myself included). Not only is it like playing whack-a-mole, Temu lies that the offending items have been removed, but only the complainant sees that message. The item pages are still available to everyone else

Yeah, the thermal throttling is problem the main issue. The MacBook M4 Air with no fans is going to have a hard time. It's a great laptop and probably better than most Windows laptops. I've not had a Mac since Apple Silicon became a thing. I think I believed a bit too much hype.
Luke (@lukeaddison.com) reply parent
PC specs are Ryzen 9 5950x with 64GB DDR4 and Nvidia 4070ti Super, several SSD's (around 8TB over 3 drive's). MacBook Air specs are M4 with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD. *Full specs available on request.
Luke (@lukeaddison.com)
So... I've been testing a few things on my desktop PC vs MacBook Air M4. Maybe I expected too much of the Mac but basically most things are around twice as fast on my PC. Tested Cinebench and my real world use cases. Mainly Adobe Lightroom. #tech #computers #mac #pc

Full disclosure. This is a MacBook Air M4 base model vs an AMD Ryzen 5950x with 64 GB RAM and Nvidia 4070Ti Super .
Luke (@lukeaddison.com)
So, I was led to believe that Macs are super quick now. My PC is still about twice as fast in my experience when using Lightroom for tasks such as Denoise. The Mac is super quiet and efficient though.

Israel has murdered more starving Palestinian civilians queuing for food from its "distribution hubs" (798) than the total number of Israeli civilians (695) killed on 7th October. On top of the 80,000 people (over 25,000 kids) it's already butchered.
