It appears to be holding up well at 27 years past the age spec too. It is astonishing how something sent out when I was a toddler is still working till this date; kudos to the engineers.

Great writing, kudos. I loved how the last part of the article linked with the "dumb tweet" in the end, with a much healthier perspective.

Apologies for the dupe; this was the most recent version, I thought I hit edit to correct the capitalisation of HT, but I obviously didn't.

It's simply SMT or Simultaneous multithreading on AMD. Hyper-Threading was Intel's branding of SMT, if I understand this correctly. My Ryzen has 12 and 24. Simply amazing what they did. :)

Completely tangential, however I can't see (air) quotes anymore without think of this NZ Viva La Dirt League comedy skit. It's somewhat "mature" in content, however absolutely brilliantly funny. https://youtu.

And if you watch any of Rossmann's videos where he repairs Macbooks and such, they have _VASTLY_ inflated prices and often do a subpar job. That monetary difference can be really hurtful.

It's probably better that people find their way to it through mentions on a connected story. I'm pleased that it's gained traction today, and also a shout out to Linus for featuring it. As Rossmann later commented, it will li

I made a tiny donation to Rossmann's campaign. Time poor at the moment, I skipped straight to the conclusion which is very uplifting: "To address unlawful repair restrictions, the FTC will pursue appropriate law enforcement and r

Wow, rather than exercise a bit of flexibility some people truly have their sense of entitlement stuck in overdrive. The guy who did this also rubbished 70 year old stone fence - erected a generation before he was born, and ended up in jail

Thanks, yes it's almost like a cult thing - you're supposed to stab and poke and just _discover_ the hidden features. One example to prove your point was that I needed to disable/restrict the fingerprint auth as he was using

I'm a near 50s guy who grew up on Vic20s and hasn't stopped since. The UX of my son's iPad is almost enough to drive me insane. So many counter intuitive ways to do things, such as completely invisible (ZERO freaking indicato

Lucky we're getting a Clean Air Tax in Victoria, Australia - to keep the pesky, potentially solar powered EVs off the road - before we reach 1% market rate. Should help keep the diesels safe. Oh, wait.

Is anyone doing anything akin to a direct drive system for HOTAS force feedback? That would be incredible. I have TM's Warthog system which is presently collecting dust due to lack of triple screen support (Nvidia Simultaneous Multi-pr

Improved mental health as a result of not suffering from dysfunction wouldn't hurt either.

That's actually the same ballpark as mine; thanks again for sharing it, I'm sure it'll be one of my all time favourites as the years go by.

Wow, thanks; I was wondering if anyone would notice - there was one or two a while later, and I was happy someone got it. Then came back just then after a few busy days and had to do a massive double take at the number of upvotes; I probabl

Amazing reporting, highly enjoyed the narrative. Yes let's blow up a whale, beached as. What could possibly go wrong? Remains to be seen.

That's fantastic. Hopefully a few coffees as well, from that amazing write up. :)

Agree, this is up there in the top tier of amazing stories I've read here on HN. I admire T0ST's technical and writing skills; first rate combination. Massive kudos, would like to shout a cup of coffee. (I also really like the des

This is a bit off topic, but if you ever want a cheaper Adobe subscription just go through the cancellation process and opt to discuss it. This was some time back and I've simply cancelled since then, but it was a good little thing to

Agree 100%. It sounded a bit like a tech request on how to get rid of ads, which established some scope for agent to assist. I'm subscribed to NYT and WP to help support journalism; I'm using Samsung's Internet browser which

Good point! I also subscribe to Google One; does that in any kind of fashion lower the chances of being hit by an auto ban?
