Except from a civil engineering perspective this makes no sense at all. Bricks are not laid in a single layer like that unless the wall is exceedingly short (serpentine wall as a fence) or unless there is a structural backing like an interior load-bearing non-brick wall.
And most all-brick walls in a structural capacity (meant to carry the weight of a structure) are dual or triple walled, depending on the height of the structure and the load bearing requirements.
Holy shit.
I managed to get into an M4 Max Mac Studio Pro with 128Gb back in December because I could see where the wind was blowing and needed a new Mac for the next 6-8 years (for reference, my last one was a fully plumped out 2018 Mac Mini).
Now you can’t get my config for any amount of money. Literally - the option for the M4 now tops out at 64Gb, and even moving to 96Gb forces you to the M3 Ultra. That is a drop of 50% in terms of the M4 Max provisioning ceiling, which is notable because you can’t add more later.
Plus, even with just 64Gb, the current M4 Max is now more expensive than what I paid for mine.
The M3 Ultra is even more severely nerfed… its original provisioning ceiling was 512Gb, now it’s only 96Gb, which is a drop of over 80%.
Like, holy shit.
Damn, I could use some of that hardware.
They forgot master/slave in version control systems.
