Our company was doing this transition back in 2018. It is quite straightforward for userland drivers, but how are they upgrading kernel drivers?

These M1 Macs are more like iPads than Intel Macs. Jail breaking them would be the first step, but after that one would need a ton of reverse engineering to write all the drivers for all the little custom HW built into M1 SoC. I have never

Chromebooks would be a perfect machine. Except that most chromebooks don't have premium features: dim screens, capped at 1080p, cheap Intel CPUs, plastic chassis, ... I am still waiting for a premium chromebook with ARM CPU and great b

In most companies, a laptop is a standard issue. In my company, you are given a laptop on 1st day, but you have to put in a request for a desktop. It also greatly simplifies working from home. Not just for portability.

These first generations Apple Silicon Macs are really publicly available DTKs for developers. I think Apple is expecting all developers to jump and port their apps so they are ready when the high-end Apple Silicon devices hit the market.

This is all speculation, considering original Project Asturia didn't go anywhere. It is very unlikely to launch. The only case this could work would be for Surface Neo and Duo devices. That way, those devices can actually run Windows a

They are blowing it way out of proportion. The check is only done when you install the app or update it, not every single time you open it.

The title is slightly misleading, a better way to phrase it is: * Faster than any other Mac in single core * Faster than any other Macbook in single-core and multi-core

The problem is not the defaults. The problem is choice. When the motto is "just works", the system needs defaults that works. But savvy user needs to be able to change these things. A more common use case for this kind of choice i

Considering most of heavy lifting in graphical apps like Adobe suite is done on GPU, It seems like these apps would be faster than Intel on M1 even with Rosetta.

It is not a fair comparison since 4900HS is a 35w chip. A fair comparison would be 4750U, 15w chip with score of 1184/8008

It is not about searching for speed. It is about lowering the cost of large Python code base running in production.

Most GPL software is not wholly owned by a single entity. You can re-license your own code, but you cannot relicense all the GPL libraries that you linked into.

Not all open-source is created equal. There are many open-source projects where all the key contributors are employed by a big corporation. And their performance review depends on the work they do on the open source project. like Go languag

I wonder when they would start shipping Google TV software on smart TVs. Every high-end TV today comes with some sort of OS pre-installed. So a set-top box in 2020 is not a very popular device. Even Apple figured it out and released Apple T

It is a VM with a lot of hacks. For most tasks it is good but for complicated situations it will get you. I used to run Linux VM inside HyperV before WSL2 released, and it worked like a charm. WSL2 just adds a lot of hacks to integrate Wind

They invented UNIX, but then BSD and GNU took over add added all the cruft and ruined the experience. So they started Plan 9.

you can serve ads without mining users data. I am old enough to remember an Internet were ads were relevant to the content.

In 1998, we had big banner ads that were relevant to the content on the page, instead of viewer's personal profile. They were generating revenue without invading anyone's privacy. Companies always buy ads that are not personalized

This is the exact reason I didn't try running weird VPN configs like this. The reliable way is to run Linux inside a VirtualBox and have it connected to VPN on its own. Currently, I run Linux on a Xen domU and configure VPN client insi

Go does things very differently. They will probably roll their own drivers at some point and run directly on Xen or KVM. The designers of Go have a lot of problems with evolution of Unix in general. So it is understandable that they don&#x2

FTP has been superseded by better alternatives. Anonymous FTP is replaced by HTTP. Mostly because HTTP transfer is simpler and easier to work around NATs and firewalls. (take a look at debain mirrors for example). Authenticated FTP is just

Safari on Mobile still has a considerable market share that is not going away. But on desktop Chrome dominates. Even on mobile, Android market share (hence Chrome) is a lot larger than Apple.

If Microsoft cannot stand up to Google, what do you expect from individual developers? Google has monopolized the power over the web. And soon they are going to use it to their advantage.
