I would think most developers in the world are using corporate laptops. Don't think we'll ever see a fully unsupported OS installed on those.

The Average price paid for a new car in the US is ... $35k-$40k. Almost no one in the US buys $15K Mitsubishi Mirages and more reasonable cars that start at $20K are rarely actually sold bare bones for that much.

The quality of life may be higher for lower middle class or poor people, but not for developers making $150k+ a year with benefits. And most of your points are just silly or negated by having money.

What I've seen from a financial company perspective is it's mainly cost center development that was handled by the overseas offices. Product and revenue development stayed in the US.

I honestly don't have first hand experience, but I seriously doubt every FAANG developer is the rock star you're making them out to be. I'm sure there are certainly plenty of FAANG developers working on boring shit that needs

And yet the US is not #1 in pretty much any quality of life metric. The point is there are plenty of nations with varying degrees of US influence that are far from miserable or painful places to live.

Aren't you implying that every country besides the US is currently having a painful experience?

Intel is one of(possibly the biggest) the largest contributors to Linux. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I've always wondered how this would work. Surely if it was possible to reasonably implement OpenGL 4.6 on the PI GPU it would already be done through Mesa.

LPDDR5 is not the same standard as DDR5. It is also not just a lower power version of DDR5.

From the reviews I've seen so far, seems like Apples "Relative Perfomance Points" benchmarks were as misleading as expected for the GPU. The M1 Max is more like a 3060 in performance not a 3080.

For most of human history humanity did not exist in the form it does today. There are regions in countries with higher population than the entire planet a few hundred years ago. So I don't think we can take much lesson about scale from

Yes. One example, EA recently put their old Battlefield games on sale for a few dollars. Those games at least for the time being are completely ruined and unplayable. I've tried for 3 nights now and every match gets griefed by someone

Yes, I have one of these for that exact use case. I use this for my sensor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMR3CC2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... From what I understand if you're making fan curves from a sensor

There was a generation here or there where AMD(and Nvidia) had poor performance per watt. And even then it was due to pushing clock speeds and voltages on the high end parts to compete on performance. Hardly the norm or even the case today.

Mainstream 1080p wasn't the worst of it. Just a decade or so ago it was impossible to find a non-17" Windows laptop without a 1366x768 TN screen with awful contrast and viewing angles so bad there was no good angle. Even super pre

My Macbook Power Supply whines like crazy, especially when under load. The one thing that drives me crazy that I rarely see talked about is PWM fan control. I think different manufactures use different frequencies but it's usually far

It surely needs a lot more power to do the same work as a modern CPU. Like if you were encoding a video on it where against a modern CPU that may use the same power but finish many times sooner.
