The only non repairable part is RAM due to technical constraints. The rest is as repairable as any other desktop, if not more so (e.g. power supply). Why are you accusing them of "throwing away the branding" and holding such a pur

If you can't find an sufficiently similar alternative that is priced at a much better price, it is not overpriced.

I know people who live in an apartment resist purchases by thinking "it's going to be a liability for my next move" which works quite well.

A large chunk of this article reads like LLM generated, so I guess it was never proofread, and details like this are not validated, or they could be entirely made up i.e. hallucinated.

Well, now that they can rewrite the constitution (although symbolically), rewriting previous reports isn't such a big deal by comparison.

It seems that you have a massive misunderstanding of how this works. University research labs, usually with a team of no more than 10 people (at most 20), are good at producing early, proof-of-concept work, but not incredibly complex projec

Not all codecs are equal, and to be honest, most are probably not optimized/suitable for today's applications, otherwise Google wouldn't have invented their own codec (which then gets adopted widely, fortunately).

by rs186 1y ago
Yeah, counting on governments to develop codecs optimized for fast evolving applications for web and live streaming is a great idea. If we did that we would probably be stuck with low-bitrate 720p videos on YouTube.

I don't know which bubble you are in, but C++ is nowhere near obsolete status. As much as want Rust to be adopted widely, that still hasn't happened, despite small-scale effort to sprinkle it in various projects.

The industry is not moving to Rust. There are projects here and there, but mostly for safety critical code and other situations where it makes sense, see chromium and Windows kernel. I don't know any major project stopping active devel
