Why is there no FaceId? Is the camera too low-res?

Interesting difference between Go and Python, `c.counts[name] += n` can allocate if name isn't already present, whereas in Python you get a key error.

They've reduced size in every dimension, here's the 14 inch size from the specs for example:

Oled:

    Height: 1.50 cm (0.59 inch)
    Width: 31.08 cm (12.24 inches)
    Depth: 21.63 cm (8.52 inches)
    Weight (M5 Pro): 1.38 kg (3.0 pounds)
    Weight (M5 Max): 1.40 kg (3.1 pounds)
Ye Olde:

    Height: 1.55 cm (0.61 inch)
    Width: 31.26 cm (12.31 inches)
    Depth: 22.12 cm (8.71 inches)
    Weight (M6): 1.55 kg (3.4 pounds)
    Weight (M5 Pro): 1.60 kg (3.5 pounds)
    Weight (M5 Max): 1.62 kg (3.6 pounds)

The lack of a 16" model for the M6 is consistent with Apple's current minimum of M5 Pro chip.

Why a Pi 4 Model A and not a Pi 5? Perhaps because LPDDR4 is cheaper/more available than LPDDR4x?

Deepinfra has a "contact sales" link. I assume personal accounts aren't available.

I found the transparency of windows in Vista and 7 to be a useless distraction. Found Windows 8.1 to be refreshing in that respect, although the menuless apps were poor.

I reckon the 64GB variant might be good value for running Qwen 27b. I'm not happy with the flat gapless keyboard though. It looks uncomfortable to work on. Has anyone had any experience with this type of keyboard from Dell?

If running LLMs, I'd want to know about the thermals. Looking at the 3D view, there are no holes underneath, just a large one on the side and at the back.
