> Even OpenAI and Anthropic aren't bad enough that they claim literal ownership of your inputs and outputs.

Where do you see this?

> I'm not convinced DeepSWE is any accurate in actual work.

They listed Muse Spark 1.2 around DeepSeek V4 Flash even though it's a much shittier model in basically every aspect.

> GLM is a better all rounder in some ways. Better at creativity.

I agree with the creativity part.

> There definitely exist cities in the US where you can live without a car.

Those cities have high COL and very competitive job markets because everyone wants to live there, and good luck moving if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck

My M1 Air also died out of nowhere after 4 years

Even M3 doesn't have GPU support yet last I checked

When dual booting Asahi Linux and macOS, I have noticed that macOS is much slower and stuff takes like twice as long to compile stuff

My M1 Air died a week ago after 4 years of use. The Apple store told me it would get less than a year of updates and replacement part availability from now, and the logic board despite being most of the laptop would only be warrantied for 90 days. Not sure why so many people here praise Apple's "longevity" which is clearly not good.

Good news for you is that whoever told you that was almost certainly wrong. Apple considers a product "vintage" 5 years after it was last offered for sale, and "obsolete" 7 years after it was last offered for sale[1]. Parts availability is guaranteed until vintage status, and is generally still available until obsolete status.

The M1 airs were available for sale as recently as march of 2024, so you have at minimum another ~3 years of replacement parts availability ahead of you. The timer starts from the last offering for sale, not when you bought your computer. Software updates might be more limited, we'll have to see. 6-7 major updates is about average for the Airs[2], but 8 and 9 isn't unheard of either and we're already at 7 for the M1s

They were however right about one thing, out of warranty repairs are only warrantied for 90 days from Apple.

The main problem with Apple's is the limited years of updates to MacOS, combined with less than ideal Linux support. I can easily install Linux on any Thinkpad, but I don't think it's yet easy for newer Macbooks.

With Linux, a device can stay snappy far longer than Apple provides updates to MacOS. That's why my personal computer is old Thinkpad, I can thankfully use work-issued Mac for anything that requires more power.

> However, if I were to guess, I think less than 1% of people actually review, let alone modify the open source projects they use.

I've done this a lot when trying to squash bugs

My parents gave me really shitty smartphones that were barely powerful enough to do important things but was an awful experience for Instagram/games/etc until I bought a better one with my own money (similar specs to Pinephone Pro)

The online editor is extremely useful for quick projects with other people where real-time editing works better than git, and where people don't want to download tools.
