I copy&pasted the whole title when submitting. Then I saw your comment and wondered why the title changed all of the sudden. So, someone must have changed it.

Would you still buy software for "the beast" knowing that software support will be dropped anyway? I did that once, being naïve enough to believe that Rosetta (powerpc on intel) will be there forever as an option in MacOSX. Man wa

I know, but someone changed it, so I changed it back.

That's the beauty of Macs: they are (or were) reliable for at least a decade, unless Apple decides to drop software support for them. Waiting was never a problem for Macs. It's the architecture transitions that kills them. The new

Why buy an expensive new/refurbished Mac now if there are completely new models with ARM available in a couple of years? I'd wait 1 year or so for Intel Macs' prices to drop to half or lower, because Apple will not be able t

They will have to switch to ChromeOS or long dead Windows RT.

Two things: 1) The article is amazingly low on specifics besides "to uncover the Higgs Boson's secrets" 2) The only thing to agree with is what Sabine Hossenfelder says (as always): it costs way too much without any signific

I have found it especially worrying that IT giants increasingly encroach OSS instead of developing their own solutions. Devices remain closed while using 95% OSS code (yes, Android, the other 5% are hardware vendor firmware). It's not

Libreboot is making a strong case for using open firmware in systems, yet it supports only a limited set of mostly outdated system boards. Isn't that a sign that it failed? After so many years? Don't get me wrong, I definitely s

Kudos for writing an article about that. Most scientists just don't care. Reproducible results are still considered overrated.

The limitations of this one are pretty crippling. It hardly counts as a controller, it's just a USB floppy reader. Even the software has some absurd limitations.

It's ironic how short a "lifetime" can be on the Internet.

Ah, yes. It's not the ignorant physicists' fault that Maxwell's theory hasn't got the attention it deserved. It's Maxwell's modesty's fault that set back the science of physics two decades. What a ridiculo

Oh sure, to defeat a BIOS password I'm supposed to have IDA Pro lying around, with license.

Why are many rich people dumb? Because many of them just inherited their fortunes. That article isn't worth any time.

There must be some very smart people behind Lyft making decisions, as if they have never met a person named "Cummings" or "Dick". I'm astonished by this. I mean, those people have degrees in CS and software engineer

I agree, parents do not have 'total' control over their kids, but they have to ensure their well-being, get medical care in cases of illness (physical, mental). If they neglect that responsibility, they are as equally responsible

No, it's a severe malfunctioning of a complex and too powerful AI system which detected the subjects it had to protect as threats. It's similar to what immunologists call auto-immune reactions. For it to be murder according to cri

It is interesting indeed to unwrap the literal meaning of the composite words in German. I don't entirely agree on his proposition of the meaning of 'Stimmung' though. It's not just 'the voice of the situation'

Did I miss something? Why would anyone open and load a 100G file all at once on a 16G machine? Why is there such a file in the first place?

No, it's not. Most prominently Apple costs thousands, Linux is a community driven kernel and software distributions on top of it, which commonly are free of charge. From that perspective his comparisons are nil. Linux doesn't make

People should understand that they cannot outsource filtering BS from everything. Advertising is a necessary evil to keep trade and economies going. But it's mostly the recipients job to filter information. Pre-filtering is patronising
