I hope you don't think booking travel ends with the flights. There's so much more to getting the most out of a trip than the flight, or the hotel.

That's the thing for us whose life is mostly "by the seat of their pants", there really isn't. You book the tickets, you go there, see what you feel like doing, do those things, and go home. Done that for all my travels more or less, never felt like I missed anything and had a blast most of the times. I still do everything important on a computer and wouldn't book the flight on a smartphone, but that probably says mo…

You missed plenty, and you wouldn't even know it because you didn't even do the most basic research about where you were going. It's a very lazy way to travel, and I guarantee I got way more out of my travel than you did if we visited the same places. But I don't know you, maybe your idea of a good time is getting drunk in whatever corner bar there is nearby.

If I'm spending thousands on plane tickets and hotels, and taking time off from work, and I know I'll likely never visit a place again (because there are so many other places to visit), I can't understand not doing some basic research on the things that the area is famous for, to visit those things. But whatever, you do you.

FWIW the submitted title was "Apple reports fourth quarter results" and hasn't changed.

I really like that you seem to go through the auto-junked posts to investigate what happened. It says good things about Hacker News.

Only some of them, alas - there's too much for us to see it all. But we do what we can, and readers can always help out by emailing hn@ycombinator.com when they notice an important miss.

We have a 2015 MPB that can no longer receive OS updates, because apple reasons. And because it can't get the latest OS, it can no longer run Signal, or the latest Adobe stuff that we need. So we ditched Apple and bought a Dell. So far it's working great.

> We have a 2015 MPB that can no longer receive OS updates, because apple reasons That CPU was dropped from Windows 10 support with 22H2, pretty much the same time that Apple stopped supporting it in macOS. The last build of Windows 10 supporting that CPU reached "end of service" more than two years ago.

Microsoft officially supports Windows 10 22H2 on every CPU supported by previous versions of Windows 10; Windows "Supported Processor" lists are for OEMs building new PCs, not end users updating existing systems.

According to the current supported processor list, the oldest Intel CPU supported by Windows 7 was introduced about 5 years after Windows 7 itself [1].

> Linux sucks at running games, and there is no good Linux/x86 hardware out there. This isn't true in the slightest. You must be dealing with some seriously outdated information. I've been running games on Linux full time for 3 years. I made the switch the week Elden Ring launched when it immediately ran better on Linux than on Windows. That was the top selling game at the time. I've had extremely minimal performance…

How're you finding the 9070XT? Are you gaming in 4K and/or with freesync?

Yes to both. It works very well! Admittedly, I just finished the original Half-Life, so I need to push it a little harder, but it's been capable of running Oblivion and Civ CII quite well.

It's funny, I'd say the same to you! :)

How often do you sleep over on the couch or floor of strangers homes, waking up when they wake up, participating in something that isn't overflowing with tourists already? Or got to experience how a day is for someone who works and lives in the place you're visiting for the first time?

Granted, it's not for everybody, but we both feel the same about each other, which hopefully means we at least enjoy our own lives, even if we wouldn't like each others. But I won't say you're lazy just because you don't try to truly experience other cultures when you travel, we just have different ways of traveling and enjoying life. And that's OK, as long as you enjoy what you do, and I enjoy what I do :)

I really don't get how people do research work (like finding good flight tickets, or comparing hotels to stay in for a trip) without a computer. I really cannot stand seeing websites in a small screen without the ability to quickly open 4 browser windows with 4 tabs each for different combinations of dates, for example.

You don't need a lot of space to see everything, because you can store information in your memory.

You narrow down your options by having knowledge like "I have points on these airlines so I want to fly on Star Alliance which has partners that fly out of (quick check) these airports, so let's plan the itinerary in this way..."

I just got back from traveling the last 3 months (40 flights, 6 continents) and planned all of it from my phone. From flights, to hotels, to visas.

And it's simply better than a laptop. 4 tabs in 4 browsers means you're distracted, you're not pruning useless information, you don't know what you don't know.

I do 95% of my work on my phone too, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Samsung, Intel, SMIC are not incredibly far behind. TSMC is the best because we (the US and its customers) trust them more than its competitors and so fund its R&D and license them more exclusive technologies.

SMIC in particular have made very quick progress. They’d probably match TSMC first in such a scenario.

No they haven't, they're just trying to show off by running older processes with high failure rates very hard to make it look like they can keep up.

We're not giving them EUV and they can't reinvent it, so they're stuck.

In case of a war, SMIC would likely also be unavailable.

Unavailable to whom exactly?

> the Windows 11 debacle Seems to imply that anyone cares beyond a niche. I use Windows 11 on my gaming PC and emulator PC, and I don't care at all. It works perfectly fine. OS X is much worse in my opinion, with awful window management and constant bugs breaking basic functionality. The only decent OS experience I've ever had is with KDE and Gnome. But Linux sucks at running games, and there is no good Linux/x86 har…

Does it support all anti cheat and DRM? Does PCVR work well? What about old Windows rhythm games (with emulators like spice2x)? Until it has 100% coverage I’m not gonna drop Windows.

I get the feeling that people don't do research work. They buy whatever is affordable that gets advertised to them first. They can't even tell the difference between ads and search results. Their devices are primarily for media consumption and they create little if anything. They have zero need for most of the computing power their devices offer, could get by just fine on a phone from 10 years ago if it were still being supported, and they really only want the latest models for social status reasons.
