   1. The release candidate of this update has been available for recent devices from most major vendors for quite a while now. 2. You DON'T want this update right now anyway. At this point it is just a tech demo for Pixel people and far

   Hmmm.. I stand corrected. I know a few people who joined ARM after CSR closed down but that could be just some offices shutting down. (not an arm employee, btw)

   I believe CSR went out of business after burning an investment of $1bn with nothing to show for. Not trying to be hostile, just pointing out how costly "let's design our own soc, how hard can it be?" is.

   But then why bother if you are just using someone elses pre-made macros with a fixed architecture (cpu + memories + peripherals + power & clock distribution)? At this stage, would it even be cheaper? I think there is some merit to risc-

   1.5% does sound significant, but does WD save 100% of those 1.5% by doing it in-house? Furthermore, those 1.5% covered more than just the CPU (peripherals, buss technologies, patents, manufacturing know-how). I'm not saying WD is wrong

   Arm license cost is nothing compared to what they have invested in testing and QA. One round of asic that fails is significantly more expensive. If you are jumping on risc-v to save money you have your priorities very wrong. On the other ha

   It's the new thing. I don't think it is significantly better than existing ones (including the now fully open source mips). And it is already significantly fragmented. But it's the new thing and where the mindshare currently

   If we only consider security, Fuchsia is another horrible use of resources. How many Android issues are due to kernel bugs?? Of those, how many are due to Google using is own heavily modifed version of an outdated kernel? Agreed on humans,

    In modern Android phones, the core system is updated one a month [if needed - which is often the case during the first year]. Android applications (including things like mail and browser) and a large part of the OS is updated immediately vi

    To be fair, you started with arch which requires some attention. Most professional users use Ubuntu since it's fairly polished and "just works".

    Yeah, we can't just remove the app and think that would fix the issue. Otherwise this is bound to happen again.

    Are you sure? 11kW is a huge number. Just checked one random German oven (AEG) that specifies typical usage around 1kw and max at 4.8kW. Electrolux which is known for energy efficiency claims max 3kW for a similar oven. Maybe stove is respo

    In EU most new ovens are 240V, partially thanks to the efficiency improvements of hot air ovens. Still, they used to be 3-phase not long ago so OP is also correct.

    Possibly dumb questions: 1. How long would the batteries last on the Tesla? 2. Do they need to be serviced more often if you live in colder climates? 3. Wouldn't battery health affect resale value??
