Any laptop with a recent GPU will beat an Apple Laptop for performance. Some higher end CPUs too.

Apple has really good power efficiency, which is great when unpluged, but plugged in laptops with 200 to 300W TDPs are still better.

Neither will 99% of 3D printed guns. Most 3D printed guns use metal parts, and ammo will likely be detected as well. Only single shot, entirely 3D printed guns with plastic ammo have any chance.

So? I know they get hot, that's what 200-300W means. But when you said "there isn’t a single laptop in the windows world that can match anything apple does", you were wrong. Laptops with GPUs still win in performance.

Stop moving the goalposts.

I only use wired headphones. I don't like earbuds, and Bluetooth headphones are too bulky and need charging.

You would need to put your keys in a faraday cage.

Distance doesn't matter, as they can just use a bigger antenna or better amplifier. You find footage of people using large loops of wire to capture the signal from the keys

Cheap items/electronics can be more expensive on Amazon than direct, though.

Polytopia is awesome. It is free to play offline, and only requires one one time purchase to play online. No ads.

They probably sound slightly differently, and have more historical value to them. I just digitized my grandfathers cassette collection, because it was his, and are a different experience (because of how cassettes sound).

A lot of social media companies aren't profitable, but they didn't care because of cheap loans and lots of investors. Now that loans are more ecpensive and investors want AI, social media companies are realizing, "We need to make money, or investors will hate us", and are locking things down. Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, and Tumblr are some of the examples we see. All trying to push subscriptions or block adblockers.

A bunch of Matrix bridges on one platform, with some extra funding. It looks cool, but isn't lifechanging. It is designed to (hopefully) make it easier to use, but if you don't care, you can set up the bridges yourself on your own matrix server.

I think it's twitter. Journalists often contact twitter because of controversies, and they try to highlight that Twitter always says nothing useful

I use ReadYou. Has more features and easier to understand than Feeder (at least for me).

Requires no permissions (except enabling notifications), can use local (on device) accounts. Only requires RSS links, no other data.

Supports notifications, have not tried it. Also likely requires background refresh, which I don't use, so don't know about that.

It doesn't, but shipping is $5, still way cheaper.

Also, free shipping only kicks in at $35, so technically this doesn't either.

Also have that problem. V0.0.34 crashes, and V0.0.35 doesn't work with Lemmy.world, so I had to switch to Liftoff

It is definitely possible, as RSS readers like ReadYou can do it. Maybe try FreshRSS in conjuction with an RSS reader?

The Liberator is a completely 3D printed single-shot pistol that can shoot 9mm.

The Washbearis a completely 3D printed revolver.

3D printed ammo is currently in development.

They aren't very practical, but can likely go through metal detectors.

2010-2012 will work as well if no tech package. My 2010 Lexus RX350 has no touchscreen, but still has knobs and a backup camera on the back mirror. It's wonderful.
