Blender and games run great on my M1 MacBook Air which doesn’t get hot even with no cooling at all except via the external case and I mostly play games on the couch with the laptop on my lap.
After two or three hours with all 8 CPU cores and the GPU both pegged under 100% load, I can notice the heat on my bare skin but it’s not uncomfortable. And it only does that in games - Blender gives the CPU/GPU enough of a break between renders to keep it cool.
The MacBook Pro, which does have a fan, is definitely not going to get hot. Forget about that issue. The fan will make it run cooler, and also faster since the CPU won’t be thermally throttled (my M1 is permanently thermally throttled while playing games… still fast enough to get good framerates at moderately high graphics settings though);.
Just buy the most expensive one you can afford. You’re going to love it. The only thing to be aware of is external display support, which isn’t very good on the low end models… but the M3 MacBook Air has improved that significantly and Apple has said there will be a firmware update to the M3 MacBook Pro soon to do the same thing.
I think you’re wrong about government funded news. It will always be less biased than privately funded news because democratic governments (even Trump) are held accountable in a way that no private company ever will be.
We definitely shouldn’t get all our news from the government but it’s hardly the horror show Americans seem to think it is. Especially in a democratic country.
Facebook was not built on the backs of journalist has always been about chatting to friends and family first, strangers second, and news a distant third
Facebook has clearly stated they don’t profit off news. I’m inclined to believe them until proven otherwise, especially since I can open the Facebook app and there is literally no news anywhere to be seen.
