I wonder how much of this increase is solely enabled by TSMC process upgrades, either through higher clock speeds or increased number of transistors per core? It's kind of interesting that every iteration of the M…
AT&T ran fiber to my house (and everybody else on my street). 15 months later, the highest speed option we have is still 50/10 Mbps DSL from AT&T. I wonder why they put it in if they aren't going to bother offering…
What operating system would be run by PCs using this chip? Are there existing operating systems that support LoongArch?
Very excited that this unique game continues. It's too bad they aren't supporting the Mac, like the old game did.

Weasyprint is an excellent tool for converting HTML to PDF. It has supported CSS Paged Media Module for a while; this has been very useful for making printable PDFs from web pages. Weasyprint seems to be one of the few…

This is a great idea; unfortunately now I have dozens of voicemails a week from these numbers instead of just calls. Any option to prevent them leaving voicemail?
The improvements seem to be in which thread WebRTC does work: moving more work to workers and off the main thread. The release notes for alpha builds (e.g. [1]) link to this bug [2] "[meta] Update libwebrtc to new…

Several Pacific island nations adopted DST so they could be the first into the year 2000 for tourist purposes. As a result, some countries are only in DST for a month or two out of the year.

Very happy to see a "mac-assed" app! My only complaint so far is that I can only see about 12 items in the app on one screen, vs the whole front page in a browser. Adds a lot more scrolling.
