How about you just restrict ticket sales to 1-2 per person and require it to be tied to a name on sale which is verified on use and cannot be easily changed? That’s all you need to do.

Well this is the company that claimed to be on par with a 4090 after all…

Honestly, do people actually treat geekbench results with anything more than a pinch of salt outside of mobile? I thought people at least use Cinebench for this.

The keyboard is also really good as they got rid of the butterfly in 2019

Man, not OP so I do agree with everything else you said but the keyboard is only passable. Compared to laptops at this price range it is really good but overall? No way that keyboard can be considered good with that god awful key travel. I love my Neo for light tasks but no way I’m using that for any serious typing work.

EDIT: downvoters in denial. They get better synthetic Geekbench numbers compared to some of the latest desktop x86 processors (“beats” 7950X and “meets” 9950X), but get absolutely smoked by those same processors in real use. Maybe your only use of a computer is running Geekbench idk.

Where the heck are you getting these results from because there’s absolutely no way these results are real. The M5 Max doesn’t even get anywhere near the 9950X much less the A18 Pro.

That feels like it ruins the whole immersion of it but it is what it is I guess? Feels like Android they could make it work by placing files in the Downloads folder or something at least.

If you’re on PC or Xbox, you could try it on game pass when it comes out first before committing fully into it.

Not exactly, it’s a binned version. 5 GPU cores instead of the 6 on the iPhone. Still, it’s pretty impressive for what it’s able to do.

Not really sure how big of a difference it makes but isn’t the memory on the Neo on the same die as the processor? The A18 Pro is also likely a lot of old binned chips that they’ve been collecting for a year. I wouldn’t be surprises if this completely isolated them from the rising memory costs. Apple really lucked out on the timing of their release. Not that the Neo wouldn’t have been an amazing value regardless either way.

While it was different, I did like Exodus in a different way and it felt pretty fresh.

That’s true, but it could be the platforms doing the vetting rather than the government.

I’m frankly not sure if that’s any better. It’s not in the interest of the platforms to do a proper job of it especially if said platforms allow payments through them and get a cut of the sales. So it ends up being the government to enforce it and that opens up another can of worms.

So what happens if they’re not based on the US?

Completely ignoring the stuff that’s been happening in the South China Sea and the Indian border huh?

Rest of the world if you live in Europe or China where they have enough bargaining power from their size I suppose. Doubt this will work in smaller countries and regions. Only hope is that the manufacturers feel that it’s not worth it to make 2 different models of the same car.

I hate this chasing of overly complicated and excessive software in cars. The only touchscreen I want in my car is the one that let’s me run Android Auto for GPS and music. Everything else should be tactile analog switches and dials. Whichever person thought touchscreens are a safe UI choice in a fast moving death machine is insane.

It’s the humidity in tropical regions. If it’s not sealed properly, your biscuits will absorb the moisture in the air and turn soft. They’re not oxygen removers, they’re water vapour removers and it’s there for a reason. It’s not because we hate the environment or we’re nuts. Hell, English as far as I know doesn’t even have a word in common usage for it. In Hokkien we have a word “lau hong” which literally means to lose air as in lose the crispness of the biscuit.

Hell, there’s also so many ants here that when I was in Finland, I was shocked that people leave biscuits as is without putting them into containers. If you do it in South East Asia, your biscuits would have become an ant colony in hours.

I don’t see how other methods aren’t immune to this issue without asking you to do verification every day.

Yea that absolutely sucks for the Koreans. Doesn’t make any sense unless maybe they’re trying to counter people selling their accounts or something?

Hardly ideal. But I’m glad they’re at least accepting credit cards. Anything else like face verification, passports and national ID cards are crossing a line imo.
