Preach!

To be actually fair, Mac Preferences has worked fine for decades. Control panel has sucked since windows 2.0

The software has languished severely. It's been incredibly downhill since Snow Leopard (2009).

None of those things have a material effect on anyone by JP Morgan. The “service” Carta is selling here is your company to other people. Given 99% of private companies have specifi…

From this data it seems the Year of the Unix desktop is 2023 with macOS at 21.38%...

I mean sure. But Gisele's ads were specifically calling her an "ESG Advisor" to FTX. If you're going to tell me you're any kind of "governance" advisor to a company that defrauded …

Otellini is far more responsible for the colossal screw up in culture and products at Intel than anyone else.

Other than multiple times doing things largely considered impossible as a tech entrepreneur? There’s literally no one who has done more for decarbonization and reliance on fossil f…

You don't seem to understand the basic concepts of free speech, securities laws, or what Elon Musk is actually doing. Your question is irrelevant. Accusing me of being intentionall…

It’s not a government-run system, so it’s irrelevant. A guy who got a court-ordered twitter-sitter should probably not be in charge of Twitter as he doesn’t seem to understand what…

It would be so nice if Apple reverted whatever regression they introduced in their Bluetooth stack 2 OS releases ago. My AirPods don’t connect correctly about 20% of the time (at m…

You’re an engineer. And engineering programs will continue to use engineering focused tools. The goals of engineering program projects are vastly different than other areas of acad…

A lot of the sub 50 GFLOP stuff were low-end Laptop chips with regular M-suffixes. These are mobile Ivybridge chips, they were not snappy, and as late as 2013 release dates for sub…

Literally can't add anything to this. You nailed it. I suspect MicroPython is going to do the same thing to Arduino/C as Python just did here in Academia as well.

Energy per transaction is the fundamental metric of efficiency in market systems. Literally every single product and service boils down an exchange of currency for some embodied (g…

Yeah, but you probably wouldn't buy a computer under $600 to begin with though, either, right? You need at least 8gb of ram, and more than an 128gb of storage (i.e. eMMC and SDcard…

That's not a desktop. That was on sale at Christmas. That's the same price and performance as an M1 MacBook Air (slightly less actually under ideal circumstances). It gets 75% the …

I've seen "claims" the ESP32 can do 0.1 mA in sleep, but haven't seen anyone actually implement that in a functional application. My use case is different though, I will be adding …

I was looking at this: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/pr... Kinda just went with the bottom half of the 2010-2014 era chips.

I've lived in Spain and Italy as well as African and Middle Eastern Countries. Your personal experience is not the average or median one.

I think you are really overestimating what is available to consumers for under $1000 Euro/USD. This is what is typically available for under $800 Euro for desktops in Europe: https…

That era of I3-i7 was 20-150 Gflops. Given the Pi is a low-cost device, it's not terrible unreasonable to at least compare it to the 20-50 Gflop CPUs of that period. But it's also …

HW accelerated Youtube already works out of the box on Raspberry Pi OS. It is less complicated to setup a Raspberry Pi than install Windows 11. Your average Walmart buyers don't ev…

You're young and just starting out, and its not easy coming out of CoViD and all the other stuff that's going on. But your arguments don't match actual data, your situation is an o…

Minimum wage in Portugal is $740 Euro per month. That's nowhere near the median or average.
