HEDDphone D1 is my current happy place without going into the thousands. Compare it to an iBud on a spotify lossless track and it's kind of shocking.
'ai slop' is hard for me to complain about when it's better than 95% of code prior. The issue is more people trusting it too much to go too far, and you end up with lots of extraneous bullcrap you don't need. Doing too…
the ~only reason I don't have a macbook in active rotation currently is feeling burnt by the terminal experience on my last go-round. I admit to not having recent experience (~5-7 years) - maybe it's gotten better?

This is a solid summary of Apple to me. Generally great hardware (outside of when they fuck up the keyboard or for ~5 years or something), and you have to piece general usability in from a myriad a third party apps…
I ran my ~2011 i7 MBA for 12 years as primary laptop before the battery finally killed it (had to run linux on it due to apple killing support the last few years). Great hardware. I don't miss OSX though.
If a coworker sends me a copy/paste from a chatbot - I can't bring myself to read it. I know it probably* has something useful; but it's just a visceral reaction.

i mean, i got 5 replies in a minute of asking, and none deny it's an "attack", they simply say "good". HN should be better discourse.
