676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Because it's a terrible idea, and you don't want to put something heat-producing on top of your RAM.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

You know how you can put a heat sink on your RAM?

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

What's the opposite of a heat sink?

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Can we put a hot thing on your RAM?

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

there's a lot of good stuff in the world too and what an amazing world it is that we have created technology so good that we can waste screens on stupid crap that doesn't need them it doesn't matter put screens in places where honestly you shouldn't ever be able to see them because inside your computer but i know i know everyone wants to be able to see everything on their computer that's why all the cases are made of glass remember that rumor from ages ago that we talked about on the show like the mac pro case made of glass finally apple can now have screens on its ram too

Yeah, I find it hilarious that that is like at all the companies that market like they're, you know, sort of formerly PC monitors to Macs.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

They all seem to use the same phrasing or like same scenario.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

They say like our monitor will exactly match your MacBooks like built in screen.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

because they I guess they think that's what people want it's like we just want an accurate monitor if my laptop screen is not accurate don't match it and they're just like I think they just say like if you have your laptop up on your desk our monitor will match it and it will look right but it's like there's more to you know like you never see Apple say our if you buy our monitors they'll exactly match our laptops they're always talking about the accuracy as measured objectively against some like color checker type thing but they're like no it'll just match your laptop screen isn't that what you want it's like well yeah but that's not anyway um

All this to say that more of these companies are aiming at Mac users with their monitors.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

You know, these sort of ProArt ones and other product lines that are not gamery are more likely to, for example, work with the keyboard brightness controls on your Mac

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

you know, having to run a third party driver, how long will that be supported?

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Yada, yada.

Accidental Tech Podcast

But like, there's a, there's sort of a, it seems to be developing a gradient from Apple monitors, which you plug in and will work in theory with everything having to do with Mac OS.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

That'll work with the keyboard things that, you know, does that even have a power button?

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Like the Mac knows about them.

Accidental Tech Podcast
