Keep it up! I'm sticking with Thinkpads until Linux support
The 2015MBP one was the last one that was passable for me, what came after is horrible. Even the new MBP that has real ports again is still not as good as the 2015 in terms of keyboard.

The real-time nature is not what makes it closed though. It's simply that it's been designed to be closed. For example, Intel's ME could be a really useful feature if we could do what we want with it. Instead they lock it down so it's just built-in spyware.
Isn’t the primary purpose of the ME to run DRM and back door the system? How would it be useful at all open source? People would just turn it off entirely.
And remote management isn't bad if it's entirely under my control. It's the closed nature that makes me distrust it.

Building an OS is hard. There's no way around its complexity. But closing your eyes and pretending everything is a file is a security disaster waiting to happen (actually, happening every day). And furthermore, OS research is not only about building Linux alternatives. There are a lot of operating systems that have a much narrower focus than full-blown multi-tenant GPOS. So building holistic systems with a narrower f…
> But closing your eyes and pretending everything is a file is a security disaster waiting to happen (actually, happening every day). How so? I can see the limited access control in Linux is an issue, and for this reason augmented security MAC (Mandatory Access Control) controls exist like SELinux and AppArmor. But I don't see how the nature of everything being a file is a vulnerability in itself. I'd be happy to lea…

And, sorry for continuing this thread, what is a "vTuber anime persona"?
It’s like a full time filter where the only online identity someone presents is as an anime girl. I think it was popularized by a company called HoloLive that has Japanese girls do this as a full time job? It’s a VERY niche culture thing. Check out the Asahi Lina channel to see what I mean. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LonzMviFCNs

No idea about dinosaurs but some reptilian red blood cells live much longer as in 500+ days for turtles vs 120 for humans. However, it varies widely with mice and chickens having much faster turnover. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000649712... Five species of salamanders have similar enucleated red blood cells, but I can’t find out how long they last in comparison. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov…
For one, it makes them much harder to be used as viral vectors.

Asahi Lina is a maintainer in Asahi Linux project. She is now much known because of the achivement she earned, programming the Asahi Linux GPU driver for MacOS.
I assume you mean Asahi Linux GPU driver for Mac M1? or does this run ontop of MacOS somehow?
The fact so much hardware these days is running a full real-time OS all the time annoys me. I know it is normal and understandable but everything is such a black box and it has already caused headaches (looking at you, Intel).
Every cell in your body is running a full blown OS fully capable of doing things that each individual cell has no need for. It sounds like this is a perfectly natural way to go about things.
DNA is the worst spaghetti code imaginable.
The design is such a hack, that it's easier to let the unit die and just create new ones every few years.

Have to say as much as I want to watch their streams, I can't get passed the annoying voice.
This shouldn't be controversial to say, but it's blatantly obvious that it's a voice changer.
