oh you would love to hear some tech news right now wouldn't you you're all about
tech ah you're weird it's such a wacky and fun person i love that apple shocked
the world with their first m1 macbooks i mean they were ARM-powered laptops that
outperformed nearly anything in their weight class but apple doesn't seem too
worried about what people think of the new m2 powered 13-inch macbook pro it's
the sequel curse it's everywhere youtubers max tech and
created tech no relation have found that the SSD in the base level m2 macbook pro
performs as much as 50 slower than its m1 predecessor but hey
playing devil's advocate here the number next to the m went up by a hundred
percent so you know trade-offs at least part of the explanation seems to involve
apple using a single nand chip instead of multiple chips potentially as a
result of the global chip shortage the other possibility is that apple is just
trying to make people ask themselves why they're buying the base model of the
fancy pro laptops so you can tell people
it's a pro it makes about as much sense as paying 50 for a burger it's a burger
yeah come at me foodies if you really want to spend your money
on an m2 chip asap might as well just wait for january when apple's ar headset
is expected to arrive shout your feelings from the rooftops in apple's
private metaverse everything is made of
brushed metal white plastic pristine valve would once again like to
reiterate the message from its initial steam deck teardown video which
simultaneously showed owners of the gaming handheld how to take it apart and
told them they should not do this because it's 2022 and mixed messages are
in try to keep up see last week a modder replaced their deck's stock 2230 size
SSD with a larger 2242 drive pc gamer
wrote an article about it which was quote tweeted by one of the steam decks
designers lawrence yang who warned that such a mod could draw more power and
shorten the life of the deck the modder who goes by belly jelly on twitter
nice one actually agreed with yang although they just went on to say their
thermals look just fine so the moral of the story is the same one from valve's
tear down video don't mess with your steam deck and then you do a big wink
what does it mean open to interpretation and cyberpunk 2077 shocked the gaming
world when it turned out one of the most hyped pc games of all time was launching
as a buggy barely playable mess but now a whistleblower has shed light on just
what the might have happened youtuber upper echelon gamers was sent a
trove of documents from quantic Labs the quality assurance company working with
cd projekt red to test the game which indicate the qa process was plagued by
mismanagement and straight up lies about the number and experience level of the
testers working on the project the information may go some way towards
