I have an m2 iPad pro. The last thing it needs is more processing power, what it needs is better software to make use of the power that it has. I’d love to run full OS X on it considering I paid more than some MacBooks.
Yeah weird shilling hardware power at this point into tech cycle.. short of ML/AI work loads for GPUs, we have enough power for every day shit.
We need better software products to utilize them but all we got is fucking ad laden trash and spyware with every app.
Big tech lost their fucking minds.
I'm starting to wonder if the real reason the push for bigger screens caught on wasn't just because of the basic psychology of "bigger = better" but so they could shove more ads on screen, and now it's more processing power so those ads won't lock up the browser for a whole second while loading some bullshit questionnaire like "are you adult, child or gamer on iOS"
EDIT: So many downvotes lol are silicon valley tech bros mad?
i would not put it past them, de-googling saves so much battery. that alone is benefit any tech enjoyer can get behind you would think, privacy is just a cherry.
but more broadly speaking it is amazing how they think they can run all these malicious code on people's devices because of some ToS EULA NDA X 69 Arbitration bullshit.
But nothing will change until people take their digital sovereignty back, literally only thing stopping the solution for most of this shit is poorly educated and complacent gen pop too busy jerking the feed to generate training data for some depraved AI girlfriend.
just take me to the farm already
