Linus not withstanding, NVidia has provided me with up-to-date, stable, performant Linux drivers for their hardware without fail for almost twenty years. Recently, NVidia has invested even more effort and collaborated with Valve to capture the Steambox platform. If this Debian based, open gaming platform succeeds we all have NVidia to thank. NVidia has EARNED this outcome, and people like you, with your sad-sack AMD crap need to reconsider your behavior.
Not that I disagree, mostly; I've been spared the most of the horrors of the proprietary NVidia driver I keep reading about, it's been mostly fine. However, one word rebuttal to your argument: "Optimus". (yes, I know, bumblebee, have it installed. it's still a hack)
Was my first as well, and ditto, I tried CP/M a few times and that was much pretty much it, didn't really serve a purpose for my seven-year old self.
What was cool about the C128 mode was the extended basic though. I was way too young / not autistic enough for assembler back then, but the basic had features like a rudimentary sprite editor and easy access to joystick input. I was able to create some "games" with moderate ease - they were horrible, of course, but at least I didn't just spend my time playing games. That, and Ultima V had music in it instead of just sound effects when it was run from the C128 mode
It isn't the right wing saying that. It's certain anti-corporation types with a weak understanding of global business law.
The Javascript version of Facebook may have felt unresponsive on an iPhone 4 or 4S, but those days are history.
Nitpicking a bit - the JS engine used in Safari has seen much improvement in the past few years. But if you make a HTML5-based app with something like Cordova, it will use the old JS engine which is markedly slower. Sure, faster processor helps, but it would be nice if Apple would enable the newer JS engine on HTML5-based apps instead of just Safari.
Actually you will feel something. It'll be like boiling a frog.
