Since the tone is hyperbolic, it's hard to discern how much it has been exaggerated/misrepresented (I suspect a lot). For example, for someone who describes themselves as: > I have learnt German. I speak fluent German. I am Ger

On the whole timescale, the same principle applies. Even if we define the start automation as the industrial revolution, if automation would (mostly) remove "interesting" jobs and compensate with "pointless" jobs, by now

YMMV! As an non-power, graphics-wise, Linux user (that is, no 3d), my experience has been better with AMD than Nvidia (owned multiple Nvidia cards and a modern AMD one). In daily usage, I think I've found one issue with the AMD card, a

Those materials must fulfill opposite requirements: 1. not break down while used; 2. break down quickly after use. So no big surprise, if they take a long time. The main problem here is standardization; without it, there's nothing clea

I think that a significant part of Rust complexity - among the other complexities - is that, due to the memory management design, a lot of types are duplicated into borrowed and owned types. I think it's a unique form of complexity amo

The relation is in the low level nature of the language; I guess in the same ballpark there are languages like D or Zig. > C is an extremely simple language. It could be, however considering a language complexity in isolation is misleadi

Hard to say how much it depends on a given model, and how frequent the problem is. On a Lenovo Yoga 7 Gen 7 AMD, I hand't any issue.

YMMV. I, for example, work in a field where for customers, as long as performance is good enough, features-features-features is the number one priority. Visual Studio Code is actually a good example of "performant enough" software

Definitely looks better than the H2, although I suspect that it's the same material and construction design as the H3. Nothing to complain - one builds them (hopefully) once in years. I hope though, that they corrected the flaws; the d

It's interesting how ASM nowadays appears as a dark magic, since only a small fraction of the programmers are (rightfully) very far from that level. Curiously, I found learning Rust way more challenging than learning 16-bit assembly (i

Yes, although this was for COM files only, which were limited to (64k - 0x100) bytes. EXEs didn't have this limitation, but they indeed had a header.

In addition to the sibling comment, form factor is an advantage, for those looking for a small machine (Mini ITX != Nano ITX; the H* are actually even smaller than Nano-ITX). Hardkernel produces several very interesting boxes for H2 (I supp

Based on the UK reseller, Ubuntu 20.04 supports the ethernet chipset out of the box, while 18.04 doesn't. I run on an unmodified 18.04 though (kernel v5.4), so I think that the support has been also added in a more recent 18.04 LTS pat

I own an H2, and I strongly suggest them as middle ground between a PC and an (SBC) ARM. One of the main advantages is support, both in terms of applications (some programs may not yet compile on ARM), and kernel (although (some) ARM SBC ca
