I'd love to see some latency testing done on the memory subsystem of these laptops. LPDDR tends to have significantly worse latency than generationally-equivalent DDR products, which can really hurt performance of multipurpose CPUs in many applications. dGPUs can get away with GDDR and phones/tablets can get away with LPDDR, but laptops are expected to approach stock desktop performance core-per-core in many circles. And yes this may mean worse performance running everyday tasks that boil down to a lot of Electron-based crap.

Polls seem to indicate that Trump will win again. Biden is nearly unelectable at this point.

Probably so. It would (and probably should) require an act of Congress to invalidate so many contracts all at once.

Neither Alito nor Thomas will retire. You'll have to hope they both have convenient heart attacks on vacation just like Scalia.

Oracle is not going to TN to help.

Apparently so. Good catch.

You're not meant to agree with Thanos.

Declining birth rates are part of the problem. But that isn't the only problem. What does it take to inspire a new generation of neckbeards to want to get involved in IT, software development, etc.?

In China? Nobody wants that kind of a job. Especially when they're competing with so many other men that never made it out of the cheap labor sector.

Sometimes I wonder whether medical care is the same way. All medical care is insanely expensive in the US, but we constantly hear how it's dirt cheap across much of Europe. Medical suppliers and prescription drug companies have openly admitted to using the United States as a profit center to offset low margins elsewhere (e.g. Europe and Canada).

China can still do that.

The classics never die. They just get kinda moldy.

App appers app with apps! You LUDDITES with your low level programming wouldn't understand.

Apps!

Nah people are still mining away. It's not very sexy though, not compared to maybe 13-14 years ago.

That's the condition today. If Cali keeps scaling out with more solar panels, there will be even more excess power output.
