I agree with you, but if people in China are spending hours in line trying to get a mask, they're almost certainly not altruistically trying to improve the public health situation -- they've been misinformed about what the mask is

People are downvoting the parent, but he/she is correct. So many people misunderstand these masks. Surgical masks protect other people from your coughing / breathing -- they do nothing for you. N95 masks are notoriously difficul

It would be nice to know what material/process is used to make the plastic(?) enclosure. Given that the funding goal is $1400 / $1600, I'm assuming it's 3d printed rather than injection molded, but maybe they were able t

The math is going to be back-of-the-envelope OOM analysis anyway, so you could work it out per bit or per unit area and multiply it out from there, given your particular configuration. The statistics get more complicated when multiple bits

How much radiation would it take to flip a bit on an SSD? What about RAM (many people send their laptops through in a suspended-to-RAM state)? I would assume that RAM is more susceptible, since we still store a single bit per RAM cell, whil

The frustration is not that it's different or less, it's that it could be better if apple was actually willing to try. You don't need to sacrifice composability just because of the tablet form factor. You need to be careful

Everyone in this thread getting offended by casual use of the term "real work" is missing the point. The iPad can obviously be used for "real work" -- but the point of this argument is not to criticize people and the wor

I have two T480 laptops (work and personal) running Debian and Arch. Highly recommended. If you do get the ThinkPad, update the Thunderbolt firmware before wiping Windows, as Lenovo hasn't released the update on LVFS for the T480 yet,
