AFAIK they spent a lot of effort on that kind of stuff in Office 2003.

I have been thinking about whether GitLab should opt for the M version Xeons when they finally get their servers so they can upgrade to 128GB TSV LR-DIMMs in the future.

It probably made more sense in the olden days of the Internet, before Google and Facebook for example.

Of course, this was when floppies was higher quality too.

The history of FullWrite is slightly wrong. Wikipedia has a better one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FullWrite_Professional (1988 is also around the time of a famous DRAM shortage BTW)

Interestingly, the spec still says 128GB of RAM despite the fact that the price of 64GB LR-DIMMs are getting closer to the price of 32GB RDIMMs.

Open sourcing the entire macOS probably still would not be difficult. Doing the same with iOS would be much harder.

How many times with Google though? Of course, there are different kinds of data that may be sent too. Safe Browsing is very different from telemetry for example.

The point is that whether there is any actual examples though.

The point is how it compares to Firefox though.

It is worth mentioning Chromium is open source too.

Which also reminds me of Harvey destroying cars and insurance companies.

My favorite is the ad bubble of course. I have a Twitter thread discussing it with BrendanEich: https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/912750677331283968

I think the big problem is the ad bubble itself now. I have mentioned the ad bubble and Google on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/912750677331283968

This does not mean that ads are the only possible model, of course.

The tracking ad bubble is one of my favorite topics right now.

What is fun is the Switcher/Multi-Mac debacle. Notice that it was mentioned that "I knew that releasing it would have me having to keep up with all the new ROM releases from Apple in the future." At the time, even with the 12

This reminds me of how no one cared about 40-bit crypto in the 1990s because only the NSA can break it, to take one example. Even Snowden's NSA leaks are often relatively old. This is part of why I dislike the debt-based economy. The m

I am thinking about the current debt based economy which is based on growth and stock prices, and Google and the tracking ad bubble is a good example of the problems. Brendan Eich talked about it: https://twitter.com/Brendan
