Demand is up and supply is increasingly getting more costly. Ripe conditions for this kind of behavior. When it comes to a lot of metals it is kind of amazing how some of the biggest mines of this stuff are some of the…
Yep. You occasionally see alarmist articles about the rate of metal theft in places like South Africa, but this is an issue every where. Different rates but it is there. I say alarmist because, they aren't done to…
Here in southern Australia we would endlessly see this one guy with his broken down leaf on the side of the road. If I recall it was one of the very first generation models and they did not handle our summers well at…
That was my first though. While not legal precedent, it does sort of open the flood gates for others.
They have been playing the long game for decades, the speed up in recent times feels like they realised the windows was closing and they need to lock things down before many wise up.
I am still endlessly fascinated by how modern GPUs can handle stuff like UE5, raytraced lumin (whatever) but still struggle to do 2D rendering. I mean I get it logically, but it just feels so disconnected. Always neat…
I mean, it is a hard line elimination diet. If you watch what happens with reintroduction, you can provably figure out where the issues are.
When it comes to physical exercise, this is the key fundamental one. Yes, others things help but it is the foundation on which everything else rests. Alas, it can be taken away without choice, hopefully not.
While it is challenging, looked at one a life time scale it is kind of a neat thing. It isn't a purely linear decline and that means while the later years kind of suck, you get a lot of decent time before then. Yes, we…
It is 7:29am here and already this is enough internet for the day.
Can compile the kernel at record speed! Fan speed support... nope!
Always to option to fork it. Linux Legacy? Linux 32? Linux grey beard!
I think the big thing was Steve did make a lot of great decisions, some of the best the company could at that time in those respective fields but completely missed on everything that Apple did. Portable media players,…
I have been both impressed and kind of disappointed in Satya's role. He made some hard and direct changes initially that has allowed them to coast very comfortably, but we have also seen Microsoft become very tame in…
Completely agree. This is a general issue with technology in general, if someone uses a new technology to their advantage and at your disadvantage, you are essentially forced to adopt said technology just to keep up. In…
Bingo. They may not be as fast or feature complete but they do work.
I think it is more a case of, at least provide the option to have another OS. Chances are that nobody else will be able to make it work but having it closed off before even getting a chance to try feels a little unfair…
That is a fair point, this is a similar issue that Libre-boot went through a few years back. Yes, you try to stick clear of binary blobs as much as possible but at a certain point you just run out of hardware that meets…
Yep, here in Australia the social media age restriction was pushed through by both sides. Two sides of the same coin.
I think both sides of this are fair. Power is interested in stability of itself, to keeps its back to the wall so that nobody can sneak up on it. But also political power has teamed up with corporate power/determination…
In oz personally and yes, I warned folks of this a few years back, especially in the 12 months or so. Every time I was met with a fair bit of push back. They would argue back on technical merits, I was talking…
That is also happening in Manhattan/greater new York. The land is still rebounding from the ice age and the coasts happen to be at the point where they will slowly sink. Ocean level rise is also an issue but the base…
I have said that their benchmark to power a desktop with Google Maps in 3D. Anything beyond that was a bonus.
Intel dropping the XScale ARM was the beginning of the end. Their iGPU's where fine so long as the peak of usage was google Earth/Maps. But it was wildly under supported and they ended up missing the boat, that could go…
This is why I swing like a pendulum between "a better world is possible" and "let the system burn itself out.".
