I can run all the apps from 2 countries on LineageOS except for 2 banking apps from Philippines. So I switched bank (from BPI to Landbank) and not using the other banking app (GCash, I can send to GCash from Landbank). It is not so bad.

A lot. We still do not even have a reasonable compiler moreover debugger.

HDDs have good enough sequential transfer speed. But poor random-access speed. It depends what do you need.

I was also surprised to how AWG ampacity is not much increasing together with area of the cable. At 125A one ends up with pretty thick wire. It is because the wires have difficulty cooling down.

Another opion is there are big heat losses and they just manage to cool the cables down - like the liquid cooling of Tesla Supercharge cables.

Why everyone still mentions just "gaming" for high performance CPUs? Accasionally also "content". Why not "programming", particularly on Slashdot. Half an hour of LLVM rebuild on 16-core CPU is a pain. OpenJDK 6 minutes or so is also not fun. Even my own C++ project takes minutes to rebuild when I touch some *.hpp file.

Anyone knows why it is not available on LineageOS 22.1-20250302?

C++ is the only language which aims to have the best runtime performance with no compromises (this goal is missing from all other high level languages like Rust, Go, Swift, Java, you name it) while still having the best (or even viable) development performance (missing from C, assembler). Yes, the language could be more simple which is what the guidelines or cpp2 are about.

TFA does not mention why is Google reinventing Termux?

Pick your poison.

Like with any F/OSS you need to buy hardware which is supported by F/OSS (which is not so true in LineageOS due to all the binary blobs there anyway). Not to buy hardware and expect it will be supported by F/OSS. Samsung is known not to be supported well by LineageOS. I buy Pixels. But then LineageOS and Pixel OS are in fact the same.

For phones it is easy, just install LineageOS.

For outdoors glasses and for indoors a VNC server and access the phone from a desktop computer. Although normally I use Termux sshd to do something on the phone from PC.

> MacBook Air is around $1k. Comes with the OS for no extra charge.

Linux laptop with the same hardware will be cheaper. That was the meaning of "Apple too expensive". No matter whether it costs $1 or $10000.
