swings and round abouts… tbh i love this feature of apple hardware because it pretty much means there’s no point to stealing an iphone: you can’t even part it out and sell it in bits… i’ve left my phone in random places all the time and i’ve never been worried it’s going to get stolen
totally understand that people have the opposite POV though: that it’s your device and you should be able to do whatever you want with it, and that locking down parts is a method to ensure apple status in the loop with repairs and overpriced parts
i think both points of view are valid
perhaps, but Apples rosetta2 works great with crossover and games. valve just pulled proton out of nowhere: they might just decide to do the same with a hypothetical x86 translation layer
(although i have heard that rosetta is so good because apple made some fundamental additions to the silicone to make it more x86-like so that translation performance didn’t suffer too much, which valve couldn’t do)
i agree FOSS is the way to go, and that OpenAI has a lot to answer for… but FOSS is not the only way to interpret “open”
the “open” was never intended as open source - it was open access. the idea was that anyone should have access to build things using AI; that it shouldn’t be for only megacorps who had the pockets to train… which they have, and still are doing
they also originally intended that all their research and patents would be open, which i believe they’re still doing
They don’t care if you play on steamOS, Windows, or a steam powered adding machine.
i think yes and no: they make their money from selling games, so they want more people to buy more games from them
… but, SteamOS achieves that in a multi-faceted way:
i think that last point in particular is critical: every $ valve spends on steamos is multiplied, because microsoft has to spend their own money to keep up, and it propels the whole ecosystem forward
the point is that the architecture and development style of linux provides for a very robust and reliable platform to develop hardware for
gaming is a VERY new thing on linux, so it’s not at all surprising that support is in its infancy… but you look at things that linux has been doing basically since the internet has existed: servers, and hardware support is unmatched
… and there’s way more server hardware than there are most other categories of hardware
in a certain stupidly narrow definition of “just as good” that’s not necessarily wrong wrong
5G has a theoretical max of 10gb/s, so ignoring all other factors where it’s significantly, and also ignoring reality in the face of theoretical maximum
5G is stupid cool!
just some people can be stupid stupid
normal /nôr′məl/
adjective
- Conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type; typical. “normal room temperature; one’s normal weight; normal diplomatic relations.”
- Functioning or occurring in a natural way; lacking observable abnormalities or deficiencies. Relating to or designating the normality of a solution.
definition 3 is not relevant, but i assume you’d agree that none of those definitions that were listed have specific statistical meanings
normal is not a useful statistical term: it does not mean average in any way - mean, median, mode, etc… normal is, in a social context, more likely to be interpreted to mean “Functioning or occurring in a natural way; lacking observable abnormalities or deficiencies”, so i think you’d have to admit being described as “not normal” would piss some people off
please adjust your language

the up side of flip flopping is that it still results in some amount of effective net neutrality… in order to develop products and build customers for them, ISPs need to actually be sure they’re going to be able to continue to offer them… industries aren’t going to rely on fast lanes, etc until they’re pretty sure they aren’t going to go away
bested by intels euv chips
source? last i heard intel received an euv tool from asml but certainly haven’t produced anything with it - that’s slated for next year earliest, and until it hits mass production all numbers are just marketing
intel and apple aren’t aiming for the same things - apples chip designs arent generic. they target building an apple device… which means that it will run an apple device incredibly efficiently - gpu vs gpu m series chips are fine, cpu vs cpu they’re among the top of the range, and at everything they do they’re incredibly efficient (because apple devices are about small, cool, battery-saving)… and they certainly don’t optimise for cost
what they do better than anyone else is produce an ultralight device made for running macos, or a phone made for running ios - the coprocessors etc they put onto their SoCs that offload from their generalised processors
you wouldn’t say that honeywell is “bested” by intel because intel cpus are faster… that’s not the goal of things like radiation hardened cpus
“replace” is, as always, oversimplified… the job of programming will likely change for sure. programming languages will be built around AI generation, and programming will become prompt creation that looks at the big picture rather than the minutiae of code: just like it did when we stopped coding in ASM and started coding in higher order languages, or scripting languages, etc
but like… there’s literally no market for apple parts because you can’t really use them for repairs or anything at all - it’s ewaste unless it’s in the original device, and the whole phone is ewaste unless it’s logged into the registered apple account - you can’t just wipe it or anything because of all the serial numbers etc
