I've had thermal throttling issues with my 16" since I've gotten it, and it's only gotten worse. I had to do a downgrade to Catalina to even be able to use it. It's so funny that a $4.3k machine can't even run Zoom or Meet properly. I also had to do a SwitchResX trick + clamshell mode to even be able to dock for a few hours (and it'll overheat again).
I play an occasional Dota 2 match, that my 2014 13" handled without any issues, while my 16" just shuts itself down because of overheating (even while not docked, because of dGPU usage). I don't care if it's an AMD issue, then the GPUs shouldn't be in their machine.
MacBooks used to be so good, and just work. Now not so much. I'll think twice before buying anything Apple (computer-wise) ever again.
That is very sad indeed. I am a second degree immigrant and active in politics in Norway. This behaviour is actually limiting our abilities to work towards eliminating real discriminatory behaviour. I've seen it first hand where someone has accused someone else of racism, when it was there own fault. I guess it benefits them, because they get their way but it also creates a divided and toxic society. Working with people like that is also very tiring and stressing.
Exactly. That would be very unfair to those employees. How she treated Yann LeCun and how she now publicly bashes Jeff Dean it is no doubt that those employees would also be named and shamed publicly. She threatened to resign and her resignation was accepted. Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk :)
Considering her previous attacks to anyone who disagrees with her and her previous public feuds, I'd say people may be afraid of being stamped as a racist/sexist because they had to reject her paper. She was a disruptive employee who threatened her employer and the employer didn't accept it. Why is Google obliged to keep her employed?
How was she marginalized? Marginalized means keeping someone in a powerless or unimportant position in society, which she was not as she had one of the most important roles in AI and was a manager.
I totally agree with you. Screaming racism/sexism/marginalisation every time someone disagrees with you is annoying and tiring. I am a second degree immigrant in Norway and I always see this behaviour in people who blame society when they don't get their way when in reality people rarely get their way all the time. I hope the level of stupid activism does not reach Norway although we do copy many stupidities of the US :)
