To be actually fair, Mac Preferences has worked fine for decades. Control panel has sucked since windows 2.0
The software has languished severely. It's been incredibly downhill since Snow Leopard (2009).
None of those things have a material effect on anyone by JP Morgan. The “service” Carta is selling here is your company to other people. Given 99% of private companies have specific limitations on not being able to do…
From this data it seems the Year of the Unix desktop is 2023 with macOS at 21.38%...
I mean sure. But Gisele's ads were specifically calling her an "ESG Advisor" to FTX. If you're going to tell me you're any kind of "governance" advisor to a company that defrauded people to the tune of billions, I am…
Other than multiple times doing things largely considered impossible as a tech entrepreneur? There’s literally no one who has done more for decarbonization and reliance on fossil fuels in the world. God I wish he’d shut…
It would be so nice if Apple reverted whatever regression they introduced in their Bluetooth stack 2 OS releases ago. My AirPods don’t connect correctly about 20% of the time (at minimum) and switch connections for…
You’re an engineer. And engineering programs will continue to use engineering focused tools. The goals of engineering program projects are vastly different than other areas of academia. Developing the tool is the…
A lot of the sub 50 GFLOP stuff were low-end Laptop chips with regular M-suffixes. These are mobile Ivybridge chips, they were not snappy, and as late as 2013 release dates for sub 50 GFLOPs.
Literally can't add anything to this. You nailed it. I suspect MicroPython is going to do the same thing to Arduino/C as Python just did here in Academia as well.
Energy per transaction is the fundamental metric of efficiency in market systems. Literally every single product and service boils down an exchange of currency for some embodied (goods, services) or pure energy…
Yeah, but you probably wouldn't buy a computer under $600 to begin with though, either, right? You need at least 8gb of ram, and more than an 128gb of storage (i.e. eMMC and SDcards). I very much doubt any sub $250…
That's not a desktop. That was on sale at Christmas. That's the same price and performance as an M1 MacBook Air (slightly less actually under ideal circumstances). It gets 75% the battery life of the M1 MacBook Air.…
I've seen "claims" the ESP32 can do 0.1 mA in sleep, but haven't seen anyone actually implement that in a functional application. My use case is different though, I will be adding an NRF9160 for connectivity so…
I was looking at this: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/pr... Kinda just went with the bottom half of the 2010-2014 era chips.
I've lived in Spain and Italy as well as African and Middle Eastern Countries. Your personal experience is not the average or median one.
I think you are really overestimating what is available to consumers for under $1000 Euro/USD. This is what is typically available for under $800 Euro for desktops in Europe:…
HW accelerated Youtube already works out of the box on Raspberry Pi OS. It is less complicated to setup a Raspberry Pi than install Windows 11. Your average Walmart buyers don't even run antivirus, setup…
You're young and just starting out, and its not easy coming out of CoViD and all the other stuff that's going on. But your arguments don't match actual data, your situation is an outlier as of 2022.…
Minimum wage in Portugal is $740 Euro per month. That's nowhere near the median or average.
Wasn't aware Best Buy was in Portugal. Also, It's half a months Average Salary in Portugal. Edit: https://themacindex.com/variants/MGNR3/mac-mini-m1-256gb?cur...
Doing 3 commands on Raspberry Pi OS to update the OS to the latest version and install a single program is not tinkering. sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade sudo apt install libwidevinecdm0 There's no configuration…
Regardless, Mac minis go on sale for under $600 and provide probably the best consumer computing experience in the world for the least amount of money. The guy saying he can't go into Best Buy and buy a consumer ARM…
I've done it on Raspberry Pi OS. Edit: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-widevine
Those are benefits in failed states and under despotic regimes. There's no real benefit in stable open-market systems. Crypto benefits privileged people under bad regimes, the same ones who are necessary to actually…
