A miniPC is just a PC though, with UEFI and ACPI, how are they not standard?

I run Arch on a Radxa X4 and it’s fine, no driver issues even with the WiFi chipset.

The Pi 5 isn’t very low power at full tilt, but it’s much slower than any of the x86 SBCs from the last few years. There are at least two SBCs that have N100s and an RP2350 or 2040 onboard that can do you gpio, and at least one that has n

That’s great if I have source code. I don’t always. I find plenty of Linux stuff that was never compiled for ARM (printer drivers tend to be awful for this).

I regularly work with APIs in shell that return XML and XSLT is a goddamn super power. I adore it.

I simply do not write shell scripts that use or reference binaries/libraries that are no pre-installed on the target OS (which is the correct target, writing shell scripts for portability is silly). There is no package manager that is

OK, then don't charge me until I submit something to the App Store. I should be able to self-sign an app for longer than a week on a free developer account.

I wish Framework made a small laptop with inverted-T arrow keys. I *hated* the full height left and right keys on my old touchbar MacBook Pro, and rejoiced when they wisely fixed that mistake. I don't need to go to a 16, the only lapto

If they are close enough to do that without me noticing I already have a ton of problems to fix instead of worrying about my Framework's module security.

Personally, I find it hard to not be insulted by it. If I put thought into a comment or question or request, I don’t want generated nonsense back. As I say, keep your slop in your own trough.

I was just thinking about this sort of thing the other day. Thinking if I need a techno 'bug out' bag, my Macs would be the most useless ones to waste the weight on because if anything happened I'd never be able to reinstall

I feel like this is every PC manufacturer except for maybe Framework. Lenovo, Dell, HP, Asus, MSI, their websites and product lines are all confusing piles. Apple has its problems and their store page is getting worse, but at least most of

One small cut, but one edging so so close to the line of death. Who the *fuck* does Apple think they are forcing app icons provided by the developer into a specific shape? Or applying some weird ugly "glass" filter on it? Without

What if they just picked a color? Maybe a light blue? Like the light blue of a pool or a tropical beach? Or a graphite grey? Oh wait we had that already.

I always think of the first Power Mac G5 introduction when after 5 slides of CPU block diagrams, talking all kinds of technical details, he gets to “And it has Massive Branch Prediction Logic…which I dunno…it predicts branches!” with a sly

I think more accurately, Apple’s, while imperfect, A-tier editor passed away in 2011, and no one replaced him. It has been a downward slope since then after the momentum dissipated after his death. Turns out, I didn’t like the operating sys

Back in my day (as far back as a month ago), we just called that effect “transparency” or “translucency”. Hell, there are types of AppKit popup windows that have the effect on by default, that have existed untouched since the early days o

Apple cannot guarantee the pixel density will actually be high enough. They make computers and tablets that can attach to any external monitor. macOS looks *awful* on anything that isn't precisely 218ppi. Other than Apple's overpr

The Dock is a personalized thing. Apple should not be forcing app's icons into anything, or rendering them in any way other than what the developer provides. If the developer, or more chiefly, the user, chooses to use a different icon,
