Have you been diagnosed? If you had, I’d have to think you would already know the above.

Yes, see below.

that doesn’t mean they aren’t on the spectrum anymore.

I'm not arguing that they're not autistic, I don't understand where you're getting. Just that they've learned to "mask" and they think it's normal, and they've gotten to the point that it's not something they're consciously doing. IE I had a speech impediment, I had a counselor work with me to fix it, I spent months consciously thinking about pronouncing it correct, and eventually it became the "normal" thing to do and required no thought. Eye contact has never been something I'm good at, but it no longer burns my soul to look into someones eyes. And if I need to be a good boy it takes almost 0 thought to maintain eye contact. It's now the "normal" thing to do.

forced him to be introspective, and forced him to figure out coping mechanisms on his own.

That's what I'm trying to get at. How many people are borderline enough that if they had to figure things out on their own wouldn't get diagnosed as an adult. Like I'm high functioning, but still too far in. But I've met a good number of people older than me that probably are autistic, but have learned to work with it.

Autism is a spectrum, and an Autism diagnosis is drawing a line in the sand.

I know my P1 gen 4 could be optioned for ECC ram, but that was if you bought the xeon version instead of the i9. But I thought ECC on laptops started with DDR4

I'm curious how much of this is from societal things and not just increased diagnoses.

In addition to people giving birth later, how much of that is "learned". Like how many borderline people would have turned out "normal" from being forced to socialize, instead of being able to hide inside online all day.

700 tabs + VM?

At work I regularly kiss 32gb with everything open and a VM. When I got my latest machine I made sure to get 64 so I think I'll be good for a while. 32 gigs lasted me from 2017 to 2024. And if I need more this machine takes 2 SODIMMS so I can install at least 96 gigs.

That's how most things are in tech. Why reinvent the wheel when someone's already made it?

I personally love trying to break into any device running android and install our companies web crawler onto it. I almost got it working on my DJI drone remote. Sadly I don't think I'll be able to get into these Logitech Tap Scheduler things.

I think their confusion comes from OPs title.

Why is it "e-waste go brrrrrrr" when OP is presumably saying they're keeping this laptop out of the machine? _ machine go brr is a dumb meme in the first place, people using it the wrong way makes it even dumberer.

If you blindly trust it then yeah it will cause problems. But if you know what you're doing, but forget X or Y minor thing here and there, or just need some direction it's amazing.

Normies won't pay for this wtf are you smoking? They're just gonna let their computer not be up to date and not care.

Also in the event of a crash you don't become a projectile that kills someone else.

Is it really that stupid though. And is it any worse than flush with the back of the computer so you can never tell if you've hit it until you've really pressed the button or it bongs?

There's no reason to turn off a Mac Mini. It uses about a watt of power in sleep. The idle draw from the power supply in your desktop probably uses more power than the Mac Mini in sleep.

Gotta get the Apple haters to be their #1 advertisers for free.

Keep it up people. Apple did almost nothing to advertise this computer. You're the advertisement.

They've used the same symbol since before we standardized on the RJ45 connector, or 10baseT. Back when ethernet was the wild west.

God I miss these abortions. The OG dongles.

Back when men were men, and ethernet cables were an inch thick and needed heavy equipment to use.

I only program in HTTPS

These machines draw 1 watt in sleep. There's no need to turn them off.

You're probably using more power shutting down your PC every day than if you just put it in sleep. A minute of chugging away booting and loading all your junk at 100 watts vs 1 watt, and no waiting.

This mac mini on uses less power than your desktop in sleep.

Your desktop also doesn't use 0 watts of power when off. If you have a gaming computer with a full power supply it's probably using a couple watts completely off. Vs an M1 Mac mini that uses about 1 or less watts in sleep.

And how exactly am I supposed to wake up my computer from sleep if the power button is inaccessible?

Poke your finger under the corner and push up. It doesn't take a rocket surgen to figure out how they want you to hit this button. You can tell from their promo images that they designed the base to make the computer sit up enough for this.

I know macs can be configured to wake up on keyboard/mouse activity, but that makes them too easy to wake up on accident.

Why does it matter? It's just gonna go back to sleep in 30 seconds if you don't mess with it.

Why? This isn't 1998 anymore.

Well unless you have my shitty ass Thinkpad that can't reliably go into S0 standby to save it's life.
