I get dozens of #power #energy #electricity #comparison #calls form #indian call centres in Sydney and Melbourne - they won't give up - they want to make me change my power company no matter what so they get a commission - evil #telemarketers #australia - Indians won't comply with Australian laws not to ring so much - they will ring to make money, that is all they care about - brutal marketing technique - this is all because of war in Ukraine pumping up power prices for about last 2 years and government doing nothing but giving subsidies but not curtailing prices - power companies are raking in the profits from government subsidies and high prices

Illustrator vs. Inkscape
Image tracing match

I had to vectorize an illustration I have made for a client, and first tried Illustrator, with really poor results (as you can see below), and this despite trying every possible combination of settings. I just never looked even halfway decent.
Then I tried #inkscape and to my surprise it produced an excellent result, even with the default settings!
Ok… I shouldn't be surprised actually 😀

An image showing the black&white tracing result through both Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape. The left image is all jagged, and lacks both precision and clarity. The right image, produced with Inkscape looks almost like the original.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Jeremy Taylor

He that is proud of riches is a fool. For if he be exalted above his Neighbors because he hath more gold, how much inferior is he to a gold Mine! how much is he to give place to a chain of Pearl, or a knot of Diamonds? for certainly that hath the greatest excellence from whence he derives all his gallantry and preeminence over his Neighbours.

Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667) English cleric and author
The Rule and Exercise of Holy Living, ch. 2 “Of Christian Charity,” sec. 4 “Of Humility” (1650)

Looks like I will have fun with my new MacBook. I will "only" have 64 GB RAM instead of the 128 in the test, but I guess that doesn't make a huge difference for the Geekbench results.

Looking forward to finally have a fast MacBook again. The lowest M1 Pro definitely doesn't hold up for me anymore.

When #Apple releases a new generation of #hardware, I like to see how the Apple Tax is holding up. The new #Mac #Mini doesn't disappoint - all figures in CDN$.

Also see alt-text.

Upgrade from 24 to 64GB of RAM: $750. Retail price of 64GB of RAM: $250.

Upgr. from tiny 512GB SSD to 8TB: $3000. Retail price of fast 8TB SSD: $900.

Price for maxed-out Mini M4: $6,000 without display, keyboard, mouse, or extra software.

Apple Store online listing for the new M4 Mac Mini, showing upgrade prices for memory and storage. This is for one of the upper models, so the base memory is 24GB and base storage is 512GB. The upgrade to 64GB of RAM - what I have in my current workstation - is $750. The upgrade of the SSD from 512GB (which is laughably small for a high-end machine) to 8TB is $3,000. See comparison prices in later images.
For comparison, here are prices for 64GB DDR5 memory kits. A full 64GB, not just an upgrade from 24 to 64. There are three kits shown in this picture, with prices of $224, $276, and $285. So the upgrade price on the Mac is three times the price of actually buying the full amount at retail. This is the Apple Tax in action.
For comparison, here are retail listings for a fast 4xPCIe4 8TB SSD. The prices shown here are $985 and $880, compared to $3000 just for the upgrade if you buy the Apple Mac Mini and want 8TB of storage. The Apple Tax at work again.
And just for sh*ts and giggles, here's a Mac Mini M4 maxed out with the Apple Store configurator. $6000 is a lot of money for a Mac Mini. Keep in mind that doesn't include a display, or even a keyboard or mouse/trackpad. You can buy a heck of a workstation for six grand. Apple Tax!
