Should note, you currently _can_ (or will soon) get gaming and compute through vulkan or rusticl. It's just not currently very fast, yet.

Tbh, I'm more eagerly watching the development of rusticl on nvidia hardware. While I use graphics APIs more often, not needing nvidia's drivers for their CUDA support would be really nice. Say what you will about openCL, but open

When the boomers die their homes will be bought up by private equity, same is happening to the supply now. Then they'll either sit on them to restrict the supply or charge ridiculous rents. I expect regulatory crackdowns will affect th

Frankly, this whole exercise of "don't trust the cloud host" is pretty dumb. Flaws in chipset vendor products and new avenues of fuckery will continue to to be found. Expecting that you can trust a computer you've never

It's not a negotiation. It's google paying whatever sky-high sum apple demands, because google and their shitty search engine are toast the moment it's no longer the default.

It's not the selection lines, up on higher metal layers. It's the actual memory cells themselves being too close together on the substrate.

This. It doesn't matter how much value you generate for The Company. If you don't have strong labour (eg. via unions) then there's absolutely no reason for a company to compensate employees fairly. Companies are not only happ

It's convenient to raise prices whenever you are presented with an excuse. Opportunistic price increase.

From what I've heard, everyone there drinks the koolaide. it's a precondition for getting hired. That said, this seems like a very transparent "just give us a bunch of money" request.

Edit: looks like on the laptops the kernel has access to the actual I/V measurements (feed-back), but on imacs marcan'll have to instead rely on feed-forward looking at the audio signal.

by jakobson14 3y ago
You have to actually measure a profile to ship it. That means sitting down in front of every single model with decent measurement equipment and running a test. This doesn't scale, especially not for a distro with limited resources.
