    Canada passed a similar bill a few years ago causing meta to stop showing Canadian news content on their platforms. It didn’t really impact them financially or user wise. So the sa…

    The 20h figure is specifically for streaming 4k Netflix in the app on Windows. Netflix doesn’t even support 4K streaming on Linux as far as I know.

    They would have definitely advertised if it was something special like mini-LED but it seems to be a pretty standard display.

    In his presentation, Nirav compared it twice to a MacBook. Even saying they want to build the MacBook of the Linux world iirc. While I also agree with you, it’s still a valid compa…

    Claude and opencode aren’t natively supported but there’s a Claude code package in the FreeBSD repos. For cursor, I have no idea.

    I’ve read this a couple of times now but when I check the pcpartpicker price trend for ram it is flat.

    Super key for most keybinds is much nicer than windows in my opinion, where it is entirely wasted on opening the start menu. On Linux it gains a few functions based on the desktop …

    Sorry for even mentioning astroturfing, haha. It’s just because the promotion of the device is based on trying to fool people it was made by tiny corp.

    That thing is NOT related to tinybox or tinygrad in any way. It is basically copyright infringement. Unless you’re astroturfing here I suggest you get your money back.
