The stations that rely on CPB funding as a main source of income are the "others" who repeat the NPR content over the radio. They're tiny stations (typically 1-2 full-time employees) that mainly serve communities where intern

I'd guess this is due to some Paypal fraud protection thing thinking that Linux on M1 is an "impossible" configuration to have and that anyone with that configuration must be spoofing their hardware. If you click onto the bug

Thanks for pointing that out, I must have skipped over the system76 link. You're right that besides Apple, nVidia and Ampere also make viable ARM workstation chips.

All of those use the same nVidia chip and the same nVidia provided Linux distro. Personally I'd be wary of spending $3500+ on a system that relies on nVidia support. They previously released an AI focused SBC, the Jetson Nano, that shi

My guess is that a lot of the controversy is simply because this is one of the first times that a major web feature has been removed from the web standards. For the past 20+ years, people have grown to expect that any page they make will re

This is intentional. The version with the fun art that expresses the creator's individuality is free and open source, but they sell a paid version with bland, corporate-friendly art that also supports custom art and CSS. This makes the

Honestly I don't see why any country would ever enter a long-term agreement with the US. The Constitution says that the president negotiates international agreements but that Congress must ratify them. Due to procedural rules basically

Besides TSO like you mentioned, the SIMD implementation is different (SSE/AVX vs. NEON) which is important if you do anything that uses SIMD intrinsics directly. If you're deploying to ARM servers, it's also nice to be able t

Yeah Asahi makes this machine even more of a niche product. Even if you're stuck on the M2 Mac Mini, that still gets you ~2x the single core performance and ~40% more multi-core performance than the MS-R1, with much better power effici

The performance on this machine is similar to the Snapdragon 8cx from Microsoft’s first big Windows on ARM push a few years ago (so nowhere near even the 4 year old Apple M1) while the idle power draw is similar to an x86 computer. If they’
