Social media hot takes discussed on the show
Christopher Lawley(@chrislawley _ ) , who does theComfort Zone podcastfor MacStories , had some thoughts . He said :
This has been one of the unvoiced times to be an independent Divine . AD revenue is in the potty , everyone and their female parent has a membership , so unspoilt luck trying to start out a new one , and platform require their slice (: coughing : YouTubes 45 % : coughing :) . Even I have considered going and get a steady job , and I hate even Job . How does Apple not see they are n’t taking 30 % from Patreon , they are taking 30 % from sovereign Jehovah ? ? The hoi polloi they take to enjoy .
Our next topic is about the 8 GB of RAM in Macs issue . On X , computer software developer Hasen Judi stake a screenshot of his M2 MacBook Air with 8 GB of memory . He had no apps open except Activity Monitor and 4.7 GB of that memory was in use – over half the amount of RAM in his MacBook Air .

Our final topic of the show is the upcoming M4 Mac lineup . They ’re reportedly going to start rolling out this nightfall and into the spring of next year . Roman write an clause that said that Apple should ’ve vamoose the M4 and not update the Mac until the M5 is quick . The main reason this should pass is because the M4 is now in the iPad Pro , and the Mac should have a better chip than the iPad Pro . Here are a couple of email response sent to Macworld to the clause :
[ The ] iPad Pro did not beg for more carrying out with a M4 , its issues do not take its want of performance . Apple needs to start address the elephant of iPad OS out growing the telling ironware the iPad Pro was already subject of . But when you already have impressive results with the M2 and M3 . It ’s go to get intemperate to upsell a new M series with every iteration .
On everything you were saying about the M4 chip I was nodding my heading saying yes and yes . I have the M4 iPad Pro . I ’m typing this note to you powerful now . I also have the MacBook Pro M3 Max which I utilize on my website . It is a beast of a motorcar but I see no reason to buy the M4 when it arrive . I will buy the M5 Max for certain . I ’m certain peck of people feel this way . I do believe Apple shot themselves in the metrical unit .
