There is still the problem of ARM being superior. You can’t put a “low power” x86 5nm chip in a phone right now and expect it to be on par with the iPhone. edit: also don’t forget intels fabs are actually better than tsmc when nodes are the

Yeah I guess I should have said old there. The touchbar macbooks are definitely not something that fits this case

Linux support on consumer hardware depends on community contribution generally. So it will take time generally to have good support. However in 2021 it’s no longer necessary to buy a good laptop and struggle to put linux on it. There are so

They (community) are adding linux boot to macs with m1 chip. It requires quite a bit of work since apple doesn’t provide any documentation to boot other operating systems let alone drivers and so it will require patches in the kernel to eve

Macbooks make one of the good linux laptops (the ones that have support like older retina macbooks). And the truth is Macbook Air is one of the handful ARM consumer laptops you can easily buy right now even though ARM is the superior everyd

So they are essentially a combination of chips rather than a combination of logical units. I always assumed these ‘chips’ are made of logical units like computer cpus 20 years ago with different logical units but that is not true. This is p

I just realised after years of learning about how cores work that the big.LITTLE design is actually two CPUs not two sets of cores. With a third X1 core CPU we would then have 3 CPUs in a phone ... wow ...

As someone who is comfortable with linux and macOS and also someone who used an M1 MBA here is my take because this article does not do justice to each of the platform pros and cons: 1. The M1 Macs are amazing. If you are the kind of person

More like ISP StreamingService partnership did this since it is far cheaper for them to streaming from edge boxes at their own CDNs than p2p which hurt the ISPs because they have to pay for peering bandwidth. Also streaming services are jus

DRM is a problem everywhere including linux and running ChromiumOS. There is a protected path from the stream to the display that needs to be "certified" in order to support something like 1080p. I guess for payments it's sim

Wow this is great and seems like a direct competitor to UniFi. Few years back when I was researching meraki I found it way too pricey for small business over UniFi but this makes much more sense now.

I’ve owned unifi at home for about 6 years now. Their access points are a different kind of value for money. But their software stack is really annoying. First it needs java. They have switched to Apps as option but that limits the setting

The smallnetbuilder review of AC68u goes into detail on this. But I think newer wifi routers have fixed this that support USB ports. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/322...

same. the m1 would be much faster. also the water cooling is going to add cost which can be reused to add more Pi’s instead and I know i can run mine at 1800Mhz with a tiny heatsink via thermal paste and a 40mm fan with it not going above 6

Hmm smart... the bigger problem however is that users buy 1$ chargers at local gas stores and thats gonna destroy their phones. One might think a person spending 800$ on a phone may spend 20$ on a charger but its quite easy for them to buy

The iPhones didn't see a price drop after charger removal since apple said it was for environmental reasons it should be obvious the price should have been reduced. same goes for earpods. can't believe no one directly asked apple

This is what I find interesting. Assuming two quantum particles exert forces on each other. Now they both have mass but the forces they exert on each other are so much more powerful that the gravitational force would be impossible to experi

by tumblewit 6y ago
Question: Since mass exerts gravitation force, wouldn’t it mean that any mass of any size shape would do that? Just because we don’t have a scientific experiment to measure gravitational forces at small scales doesn’t mean they don’t exist

The latest macos updates (11.3.3 or something released this week) broke git for me on my M1 mac. Firstly the update was a security fix and more than 3GB which felt ridiculously. Then I had to reinstall command line tools because apparently

Not really. If you think about it charging a customer is naturally going to be the most tested feature. You can’t really test ‘not charging’ unless there is a high volume of customer calls saying they are being charged when they don’t want

Netflix is so much superior to Prime. Prime has a hard time maintaining 1080p but Netflix has such varying bitrates from as low as 1mbps to as high as 20mbps while watching The crown. And the best part is how snappy the app itself is and in

I recently encountered something similar on my M1 air when i tried to erase it (if you got a new m1 air don't do it it's not really necessary). So turns out, with I believe Catalina, APFS has a system partition and a data partitio
