>>"but we do not know _your application_ at all." You're missing the point. A PaaS, or serverless service doesn't need to know your application. That's the whole point. They're just API calls, and they ne

that's not why Apply joined AV1. They joined AV1 because they were forced to. Netflix, Google, Amazon are all on the AV1 bandwagon. If Youtube, Netflix and Prime Video all use AV1 for future higher quality streams, Apple cannot avoid s

The content providers want Youtube TV to fail, and are doing it with forced bundling that increases the price. There's no other explanation. In hindsight, it was stupid for Google to get into a business where they cannot control pricin

That probably helps, though many of my issues have been other problems, like xorg, the nvidia driver, grub (or now systemd-boot)

If that's the case, Apple is deliberately hindering their intel version so that the future ARM version destroys it in benchmarks. They'll win anyway. But comparing a 2021-ish Apple ARM laptop against intel's early 2019 chip i

It can be frustrating, but it's almost always worth it in a serious production environment. I have my own anecdote: I have serveral home servers running CentOS 7 (set up nearly 6 years ago). I update all the time and I've had zero

I just got a 16" MBP... Still, the waiting game sucks too. Apple said their first Arm mac will come out at the end of the year, but that could well be a very low end Mac mini, or Macbook Air. It's unknown when the pro line will co

$10/y seems ridiculously cheap. Too cheap. I'd be worried they may go out of business.

I'm a very happy migadu.com user. Set fee for unlimited storage and unlimited addresses. Very simple but effective admin UI too.

the Video looks great. Reply later, and set aside do seem really useful. I'd like that for work email, not just a personal hey.com address. I wonder if they considered just building an email client. A lot of this doesn't require a

Isn't Flatpak preferable?

That would be fascinating. But Apple is so secretive, and punishes leakers, so that's pretty unlikely.

The Model S came out in 2012. Surely it's time for a full redesign, or at least a refresh with their existing battery tech etc..

On Mac I use Ulysses. I hate that they switched to a subscription, but it's still the best Markdown app on the platform. On Linux I use typora (previously caret when it basically shut down). typora and caret are built on web technologi

After Evernote started going downhill, I moved to plain markdown inside a Google Drive folder. I use the best, native app for each platform and have zero risk of being affected by a single company cancelling, closing,, increasing the price

First, Google Meet is also not e2e encrypted. Second, Google Meet is not now free. They're rolling it out over several weeks. My account isn't activated yet. Is yours? Google is really, really late to game here. What was Google do

Firefox has only recently really been in the same performance ballpark as Chrome, meaning to get this privacy you had to give up performance. These days the delta is small enough that it shouldn't matter. Notable things still delaying

This is a really great idea, but I don't think it's possible for this to not get overused for every little issue. Once it's overused, it becomes useless.

If Epyc CPUs aren't available, then it isn't apples to apples. A customer doesn't care about nm. They care about what's available. The apples to apples comparison is The best x86 available vs the best ARM available.

I feel this is a google/apple problem. They need to celebrate and advertise premium games more. Instead, we're stuck in a world where most games are fremium with tons of ads or IAPs, or subscriptions..... It sucks to be a gamer. I

the obvious downside is to the consumer. For apps with IAP, pricing is almost always confusing. You often have to dig through comments. 2, IAPs don't allow the family account to work. I love buying premium games and having them work o

Stupid question, but doesn't Mozilla make around $500MM revenue a year, and have a little over 1000 employees. That seems like it should be profitable.

It's not accurate to imply this is so easy. You're now responsible for your data, security and uptime. That means patching, backups and plenty of ops work.

It's super annoying that AMD's 3000 desktop line is 7nm zen2, while their 3000 laptop line is 12nm zen+. It's confusing and dishonest. Multiple times I've jumped at almost getting a Ryzen 3000 laptop only to remember tha

They're better owners. They ship, and follow up on bugs until they're proud of what they shipped.

I think it's obvious that lifetime subscriptions probably shouldn't exist if the app requires a server side component. Unless the company treats this like early investment and honours it. What really annoys me is when a company co
