where the sun don't shine.

The Linux Foundation has always been kind of useless, but they're really outdoing themselves this time.

I'd rather pay $9.99 per month for what Netflix used to be before all the companies said, "I can milk these properties for more money if I create my own streaming service and cut out the middleman."

There may or may not be too many streaming services, but there are WAY too many streaming services owned by content distributors. You can't have any sort of meaningful free market among streaming providers if they're all just providing their own content. You still have competition among content providers at that point, but zero competition on the streaming itself.

More like old vs new terribleness.

I wouldn't call plant-based meat alternatives "healthy" unless your idea of healthy is dying of salt poisoning.

Apple was one of the cofounders of ARM (the company) in 1990. It did not create the architecture, though it likely had an impact on ARM6 (ARMv3 architecture) and later. Either way, the ARM architecture probably would not still exist if ARM (the company) hadn't been founded. The ability for multiple companies to design and manufacture chips turned out to be critical for its long-term survival and viability in the cell phone market and others.

It is legal to do so in the EU, BUT you must make the full process that generated that price transparent and you must state that it is a personalized price:

I guess that pretty much kills the idea in the EU as it relies of customers not knowing. Anyways, have fun with your anti-consumer version of capitalism! So much winning! Just not for you...

ARM (short for Acorn RISC Machine or Advanced RISC Machine) is an acronym, and all letters are capitalized. Arm is something attached to your torso.

I'm not saying Apple Silicon isn't better than the competition — it is — but that's not a fair comparison. Raspberry Pi's performance is largely because they use Broadcom chips, which stay several generations behind the state of the art. For example, the Raspberry Pi 5 (released in 2023) was designed around the Cortex A76 CPU (released in 2018).

Disagree. They put blazingly fast single-core performance and roughly half the speed of a workstation-class laptop in the power envelope of a netbook.

• M5 PassMark CPU Mark: (28561 multi / 6001 single)
• Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX top-end laptop chip (56007 multi / 4745 single)
• i9-14900KS top-end desktop chip (60511 multi / 4828 single)

They're nowhere near the top overall, but their single-core performance (which affects perceived speed more than multi-core performance, typically) is at the top.

You really can make the comparison. Which one is best depends on the workload.

Yeah, that's about right. But Apple also uses those chips in desktop, where the comparison is not nearly as rosy.

Don't get me wrong, I love my M1 MacBook Pro. The battery life is spectacular, and performance is good enough. But I'd be lying if I said there weren't workflows for which Intel would be better. :-)

I needed to have an internet connection for the camera to be installed, something that wasn't easy at the location it was needed.

So Ubiquiti is a no go for me after that.

Environmental damage isn't "debt". It is real damage and we've likely crossed the line where it is irreparable. It may take a decade before the "advanced" nations are unable to produce enough food to feed themselves. It may also take less.

What then?

Helping out dyslexic glaucomic crosseyed midgets who are using CRT monitors due to poverty sets off all their DEI alarms. They'll send out ICE out of sheer panic.

More like Wing Dings, the dude rambles incoherently.

Computer screens are too advanced for MAGAs. They want to read their parchment while having a leeching at the Alchemy Medical Institute and Witch Burning Center.
