I feel that "budget A1200" is a misnomer. The IDE port was its strongest addition, but internally it's still just an A500 with ECS instead of OCS, and that never really panned out as leverage. Not even the additional 512KB of

The A500 and A600 are near identical. The tiny differences between them are in fact not incompatibilities in that sense. The A1200 is quite a different upgrade, and software making use of its new custom hardware features (or 68020-specific

If he had said South Korea, Japan and Thailand, would you then have accused him of fetishization of the asian man? What is your point with such a stupid and unnecessary remark? Health care in Sweden isn't what I seem to recall it to be

This is the first time I've seen a self-study with l-theanine in the context of stress relief. In fact, somehow, it's the first time I've ever seen stress relief mentioned on the topic. For me it has always been about providi

That would only be true if the total power envelope was same or lower, and that's not necessarily true. Just because your switch has a GbE port and you have a GbE NIC does not mean there's a full Gbit available for you at the remo

It didn't work out for Intel vis-à-vis AMD, at least. Maybe Qualcomm's "AI" modem can put a few hours in at their strategic initiatives department when it's not busy creating that huge payback delta against Apple.

It just might be the simplest sorting algorithm ever. But it's still just an unoptimized insertion sorter, and it's not novel. One would often come across this in computer books from the 80s teaching basic programming concepts and

A lot of the network stack has been unlocked (and parallelized) already. There are probably a few bits left to untangle in there. In my own experience, depending on what driver/MAC is used, the network performance has on average double

Common misconception. It is not. The kernel is XNU, and the OS base is Darwin which has some BSD parts in it, and some of the userland came directly from FreeBSD (though heavily modified).

Nope, for Wi-Fi the security doesn't sit on the physical or link (radio) layer. It's not an accurate comparison but it's similar to how TLS, too, doesn't sit on the physical or data link layer.
