Is there any reason to think that their "ideology" is contradictory to scientific findings or is this just the traditional instinct to see all foreigners as mustache-twirling villains?
They have suppressed reporting of the deaths and missing from Kyirong Valley and Gyirong Port landslide. Surviving relatives living outside the area would appreciate information but the Chinese Government would prefer that everyone just move along.
It is designed to entrap people who don't really think about their tech. I know a few people who are in a sort of "late stage icloud" moment with their iPhone. Their phone started filling up with photos and videos years ago. So rather than transfer to some external storage, as they might not even have a working mental concept of a file system let alone a personal computer that isn't work issued anymore for that matter, they started having to buy bigger and bigger storage capacity iphones. Eventually those got full too, so they had to go to icloud and a few have basically maxed out their icloud 2tb plans, because these phones are now producing huge files and recording in 4k I guess even though you are still just looking at it on a 5 inch diagonal screen like in the 5mp phone era. The damn icloud previews can fill up your phones internal storage even with everything technically shoved off to icloud.
Frankly even if you know what you are doing apple doesn't make this easy. Image Capture is afaik the only real way to transfer photos to an external drive on iphone. And that app has not really seen any love since release, its buggy and frequently crashes with large transfers in my experience. It does weird things like if you select 13 photos to delete, it will delete them but not remove selection having the next 13 photo block pre selected for reasons that are unclear (Maybe the devs know how terrible the transfer experience is so they make it easy for you to throttle the job to like 250 photo chunks with this ui quirk). And what is worse, those icloud previews technically don't exist in the eyes of Image Capture, so those won't be transferred over let alone show up in the image previews.
Is there evidence of this anywhere on the internet? I couldn't find anything with ten minutes of searching, and I don't use little snitch, and I'm not going to put the effort in to remediate this just to figure out if this comment has weight.
> As it turned out, this behavior is on purpose. There’s an explicit whitelist that allows certain macOS services to bypass any third party firewalls and to communicate on the Internet without being even noticed by the user. A hole in the wall.
Was remediated later, but shows there is precedent.
brother my point is they don't care about their product offerings outside of their phones. this post/thread is about one of their product offerings which is not a phone which is inferior to their competitors'. simple.
This 1000%. Data centres don't equate to medium sized labs and businesses. A stack of Macs is up and running without digging trenches, an electrician on staff and a department of PhDs to justify the spend.
It's likely that a stack of Macs will draw more power for slower prefill/decode than equivalently priced Nvidia GPUs. If power efficient inference is the goal, Macs are a non-starter.
A) the macos value add is enormous if you have any investment in the ecosystem, B) for me at least a GPU is completely useless for anything but being a token generator.

Crossover works on macos, too. So does moltenvk, so does vanilla wine, etc etc. You can run most games without a hitch these days (allegedly, according to /r/macgaming). But I don't play video games so a GPU would probably be better off in some kid's computer.
A GPU would be better-off attached to your Mac in an eGPU enclosure. There is not a single Apple Silicon GPU on the market that leads the industry in prefill, decode or power efficiency.
But of course, Apple doesn't allow that as part of their ecosystem. It's really a privilege to have MoltenVK perform worse than the fanmade HoneyKrisp driver. It's valuable when Apple refuses to sign AArch64 CUDA drivers for macOS. It's exciting to pay Crossover to support half of the library Proton offers for free.
Clearly, I'm some sort of ingrate that selfishly demands the best things, without considering how to accommodate the poor trillion-dollar megacorporation.
Human language is poorly-suited for describing a coherent universe because you can construct all sorts of incoherent propositions (e.g. "what existed before time"/"what exists outside of reality" etc etc); philosophies/faiths have struggled with this for millennia.
