The business was already disrupted. That's why they are in Asia. How are you going to disrupt that? By lowering the costs even further with... an Uber-meets-X app? Slavery-as-a-Service?

by desktop I meant non-integrated/embedded. A standalone CPU you could buy and plop into any standard ATX/mATX/ITX motherboard. But even if you have a Pro embedded, it doesn't mean you get ECC. My Lenovo ThinkPad has a P

Just to note, AMD does every single thing you blame Intel for. AMD recently dicked b350/x370 chipset owners by sending motherboard manufacturers a memo telling them not to support Zen 3 (5000 series) Ryzen CPUs on their older chipset

It's a colossal pain in the ass to get working. They recommend using Ubuntu. And they are not joking. Just click on the other distros to see the amount of hoops you have to jump through. You can't even get overlay2, which offers t

not quite the same, but Scheme has rationals. Now that I think about it, the Scheme standard (R5RS at least) does not require an implementation to support the full numeric tower. I can't remember which parts are required, but I do wond

last I checked they still make you hunt for the CMR/SMR info on their webpage by having to match model numbers . Talk about scummy. Not to mention they did this with their NAS lineup, which is like hitting a hornet nest with a stick.

For me it was a constant battle with Chromium. On 16GB of RAM it simply wasn't enough. Every other day I was hitting the OOM killer or system freezes. I was so angry I went and upgraded to 64GB of RAM and now it's stable. I found

I care about freedom more than most people using Linux these days. But from a historical perspective, desktop Linux was only made possible by Nvidia and their closed driver. That's a sad fact. I've been on Linux "desktop&quot

This definitely isn't my recollection of the '90s. IDE just worked. Yes, you had to get the cable and jumpers correct. But it wasn't rocket science. It pales in comparison to the headache of MFM. I remember having to use the

so they built a better filter bubble for you. Brave New World had Soma and we have TikTok. I'm not sure humans, flesh and blood, should be handing control of our emotional state to corporations with highly-tuned algorithms.

It's the general problem that if the violations and negative PR hurt more than false positives, then they will err on the side of being wrong. Which means more people demonetized/banned. We're all just collateral damage. As f

Yes, and I've commented about this again and again. The push for microservices, K8S, Docker. It's all the same thing. It all comes from Google. Or occasionally Facebook. We can thank them for many of the bad ideas of the past 20 y

You can't really compare the Pi 2 to a 4. That's like comparing a 486 or Pentium to a Ryzen. The Pi 4 is a serious device. 1GbE, USB 3.0. It demolishes the previous Pi devices across the board in performance. I think this is where

Reddit on mobile is a disaster. It's clearly designed with one goal in mind: pushing as many people to their app as possible. You can't even read threads without logging in.
