I don't buy that argument, "a PC by any other name" is what made intel mac's somewhat uncompetitive when compared to the M-series laptops: which are currently dominating with total vertical integration of the OS and hard

I think on a technical level you're right, but you need to run two of them and they'd need a custom design like so: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/RQIAAOSwxKFoTHe3/s-l1200.jpg For what is essentiall

Honestly I don't care, but Apples SSDs don't have a storage controller on them, and those adapters are designed to "bypass" the controller on m.2 drives. You can argue that it's different for the sake of being diffe

The biggest issue was actually that the Mac Pro was designed specifically for dual GPUs- in the era of SLI this made some sense, but once that technology was abandoned it was a technological dead-end. If you take one apart you'll see w

kernel tickrate is a pretty big one, most people don't bother and use what their OS ships with. Disabling c-states, pinning network interfaces to dedicated cores (and isolating your application from those cores) and `SCHED_FIFO` (chrt

Would you be surprised that your sports car uses a lot of fuel and get mad about it? It was sort of the deal when you bought it. Apple isn't shy about its gatekeepy behaviour, and some people believe that it's why Apples ecosystem

You missed it again. The “computers were considered dangerous” means that people generally thought they were dangerous , especially to children.

You walked right into his point. There were pedophiles, porn, extreme gore, cults, scams and a primitive notion of brainrot. Music and games (not that I played games, but honestly my mum thought that this is why I liked computers and what I

“After a few bumps”, mate, people were transported to penal colonies and fucking hanged for asking for quality standards and fair wages. Parliament made frame-breaking a capital offence to protect manufacturer profits. Saying it all worke

“More affordable clothes” that fall apart in a month aren’t more affordable. And the choice was never mechanisation versus no mechanisation… it was whether the transition would include basic labour and quality standards. With regulation, yo

Every party in the dispute was acting out of economic self-interest: the manufacturers wanted cheaper labour and higher margins, Parliament wanted industrial growth. Only the workers are getting framed as though self-interest invalidates th

I don’t buy this reasoning until there is evidence of orders going unfulfilled. I could make 20M units of something and leave my resellers as bagholders who then have to sell years old hardware at a discount- and by the internal consistency

Comment section isn’t nuanced enough to have this conversation and I am on a phone, but that is the way that the industry slandered the luddites as the parent claims. The truth was that the machines produced worse quality goods and were les

Weird, never had an issue getting my hands on an Apple laptop of any desired configuration, even odd keyboard layouts for the region (UK and Sweden). Had plenty of issues getting specific specification Thinkpads: because they are largely so

thats part of why NIST updated their password rotation recommendations from 90 days to indefinite: people pay lip service to security if it is too inconvenient. you have to try to meet people where they are. Preaching is not a strong motiva

That’s an excellent example. OpenSSL, by virtue of trying to do everything is the most buggy implementation of TLS generally available today leading to the point where there have been hard forks designed to reduce the scope to limit this

I’m surprised it’s even as high as three nines, at one point in 2025 it was below 90%; not even a single nine.[0] (which, to be fair includes co-pilot, which is the worst of availabilities). People on lobsters a month ago were congratul

I work in games (formerly AAA). Chicken and egg problem. Valve is making enough headway that game makers take Linux seriously. We’ll likely see a lot more native releases over time. (once the worry about anticheat subsides).

Most people want a web browser. Even Microsofts esteemed moat (office) is “Web only” on the lowest tier.

Ironic, because I feel like they’re the same, it’s semantic feely words that are different. Right to vote was already established before the change of the name (subject->citizen). So, what changed? Well subjects have “privileges” that ar

Extraterritorial taxation is extremely rare; and its less of a law and more of a “cost of citizenship” since you’re allowed to get rid of it.

Normally its considered legal to sell but not legal to buy. Prostitution is primarily conducted by women, and this is a way for them to still seek protection and healthcare while still technically criminalising the practice.

They’re not breaking any law. Laws apply to actions in the country, they’re not based on citizenship. If you go to Amsterdam and sleep with a hooker, you didn’t break a law by doing that: despite prostitution (specifically purchasing sex)
