Really I think it got that rep mostly from people trying to run DOS games or shoddy ports from DOS to early Windows that still relied on a bunch of DOS stuff.

TEPCO dropped the ball pretty massively too, although IMO it should be the government's responsibility to assume that power operators are going to and not allow them to.

Nearly 10 years ago a 2.6 TFLOP (FP32) GTX 660ti cost about $300 and had a TDP of 150w.

A huge amount of industry all over the place ends up like this. The engineers produce the theoretical form of the design, and the tooling up process refines it into a practicable-a…

The lesser of two evils is still collecting literally as much data as it can on you. And helping the Saudis with it too: https://theintercept.com/2014/07/25/nsas-new-partner-spying…

I can't speak specifically to the raspberry pi, but generally SOCs like it uses do work like that. Most customers are concerned with the chip's high-level capabilities and actively…

It's especially funny because the M1 Mac SSDs seem to perform at around the same level as current competition from what I've seen.

It is bizarre to me how many problems I've literally never seen before in my life some people on this site can come up with to defend Apple's decisions, especially things like this…

The cautious configuration and total separation of the Tor browser is the whole reason it was created in the first place. There are an uncountable number of reasons why having it i…

And people with utopian perceptions of the present tend to have policies that ignore underlying problems until they boil over into revolutions. Fixating on how great the present is…

Even if the conclusion is that life today is better than in the past, so what? Congratulations. Their lives were different than their predecessors too. Is the whole point to self-c…

These are not coherent reasons why it would be different, they are assertions that you think it would be. None of them even speak to any difference between the platforms. Just sayi…

I don't think most people would. I think most sideloading would be by users making things that fall outside of what Apple allows on their store, like on Android. I see no coherent …

As I said, they tried and failed because nobody downloaded it. I'm not sure why you're suddenly bringing Epic's motives into a comment chain about the desirability of sideloading t…

Then why hasn't it happened? Android has always had sideloading and this is not the case. Just asserting it to be false isn't convincing.

The contents of the Play Store have nothing to do with Android's ability to sideload.

Then keep using the curated store? It only hurts if Apple's store can't compete with alternative ones. There's no such problem on Android because developers and users are fine with…

Why hasn't it on Android then?

And after claims of Iraqi involvement in 9/11 and WMDs that never materialized, I'm pretty skeptical about unproven, geopolitically convenient news reporting.

And for good reason considering some of them lie about actually encrypting the data, or are very bad about keeping it safe. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/bitlocker-encrypts-sel…

(and OpenBSD as well)

And for that purpose it's nice, but as good as any other semi-modern laptop. Over quarantine I amused some coworkers by doing an entire day's work (not ML, but not stuff that's run…
