The hardware isn't identical to a Mac, but that's because of copyright. You can absolutely compare various chips and laptops to a Mac and end up with a fair comparison.

This is something that documentation would help with. Fable doesn't know anything that human engineers don't.

FWIW, I use my smartphone as an MP3 player, SMS messenger and TOTP auth. iOS and Android did that fine 5 years ago, I don't need Instagram or 8 Ball Pool to survive in life.

Does OpenAI suspend users that they detect impersonating people, spamming people or generating social media posts though? It feels like they belled the cat just to charge a toll for abusive usage, and now that we've seen LLMs used for

It entirely depends on the idea in question. Sometimes the technology is demanded and society deems it necessary; other times, you're the CEO of Juicero: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juicero

I'm a Linux user, and I use a lot of native GTK apps. I have pretty much zero interest in using a homemade rendering engine or vibe-coded Javascript runtime. Why wouldn't I use a native browser like Epiphany instead?

Case in point. Devicetree drivers make this much harder than ACPI (say what you will about ACPI) and there's no documentation that fills the gap.

> Any manufacturer could put an eFuse in any of their hardware and lock it. This is my point too, though. Do we trust Apple to not burn a hardware fuse if their community one-ups them? They've already done it on iPad and iPhone hard

Many of the problems aren't cracked whatsoever. For instance, Apple Silicon's PSCI power management interface is a mystery. PSCI code exists in other Linux devicetrees, but nobody knows how Apple implements theirs. So for the be

That was my first reaction, but apparently warp.dev and warp.co are different products. Their landing pages are comically similar though, I recommend opening both in different tabs and playing spot-the-difference as you switch between them:

How about no? AI brand identity has made the unfortunate pivot to "how much do you trust us" which is going be a real race to the bottom. I don't want LLMs managing nuclear reactors or replacing junior lab technicians. I do

Yes, this is a tradeoff that foregoes the efficiency of race-to-idle.

It was a weal-and-woe situation. The lockdown was tolerable with such a weak device, but portended a lot of the App Store issues that Apple grapples with today. Back then, the coolest way to use an iPhone or iPod was to put Cydia on it. You

They're so populist, in fact, that they require CEOs to donate them millions of dollars to constitute the backbone of their party. Oh wait, that's what political interest groups do.

Mullvad's principle was that they protected speech. It wasn't a political imperative, and they enjoyed business from all sides of the political aisle perusing this product. Now the apolitical appeal is fading. It's not hard t

Mullvad did not respond, as far as I'm aware. One of the owners has chimed in with their opinion, but I have not seen any official acknowledgement from Mullvad, the business entity.

People said that Twitter was usable if you filtered out the cryptocurrency scams with lists. I think both types of users are in denial about how awful their website is, it's a "frying pan vs fire" situation.

Using Distrobox as a NixOS compatibility layer is the opposite of painless. If you need an OCI container as a compatibility shim, you're basically not even using NixOS anymore.
