There is virtually no software that is Mac exclusive. If you can find it on Linux, you can likely run it on Mac and most big Windows packages (Office, Adobe etc) run there as well so it is the best of both worlds.

Youâ(TM)re comparing workstation grade SSD with consumer grade. 2TB Kioxia CM7-R (their lower end PCIe TLC) is $1546 on a discount site.

I don't see what is so exciting about that as feature. It was an extremely kluge-y fix for the fact that web rendering code was buggy as hell and leaked memory all over the place. Also the old NAPI style plugins could introduce a ton terrible code into browser process, and multiple process enable surviving bugs in those.

That isn't really the case today at least in the WebKit -> Chromium lineage. I have not seen a "tab" or browser (safari) actually 'crash' in a very long time. I dunno or seen anything to suggest either leaks memory badly at least as an end user; I am not running valgrind on a custom build or anything...

So now multiple processes just represent a bunch of needless complexity in terms of RPC and I doubt represent much advantage. If anything it should be rolled back.

Your idea seems unrealistic on two counts:

Historically we have seen groups with houses and future to reach for, who still go to war.

Israel did withdraw from Gaza, motivated by your idea, closing the settlements and removing the settlers, and Gaza got worse, not better. The infrastructure got damaged.

You should read what I wrote again, because I clearly did not ignore that.

In this case its really not. Chrome malware. Its a shitty wasteful architecture, and it spies on you!

If you are on a Mac you really are probably best off with Safari. I fully embraced when it became clear Mozilla just can't keep up. Safari is a really nice browser. Its fast and clean and does not consume all the memory on the system.

On Linux I use ungoogled-chromium mostly at this point. Its a sad state of affairs, I'd really rather use something not Google, but they have as nearly iron grip on the Web as IE did in the IE5/6 period. I will not run Chrome proper, on any platform; but outside MacOS/iOS there is really no useful non-chromium alternative.

No, getting fired for insubordination is not retaliation.

That is a terrible solution in terms of privacy and the right to travel in general.

You don't have to tolerate accidents, lots of states have annual inspection requirements and worn tires mean no vehicle registration for the year. Driving a vehicle without tags - arrest the person, tow the vehicle at their expense.

The problem is 'safety' does not mean anything any more. Its a blanket term that can now mean anything from broken skulls or chemical poisoning, to financial fraud, to Bobbies feelings are hurt because you pointed out 'a boy without a winkle is a girl.'

In anything tech related once the word 'safety' gets trotted out its take like turn stupid up to 11.

The printing press was heavily controlled early on for 'safety' that sure helped make things safe for autocrats and certain institutions like the Church. It might have helped make things safe for the King and the Pope but not so for the rights of his subjects or even the Christian faith.

AI regulation will be the same. It will make it so handful of tech oligarchs how can afford audit and compliance to decide who gets to use AI commercially and for what. Meanwhile the really dangerous people like foreign(probably domestic as well) intel agencies and criminal gangs who already have open source models will do whatever they like.

Your small business, you're getting flagged as 'AI generated content' and will have watermarks on all your ad copy and the taint for fraud when you did nothing wrong. The guy who created the fake pictures of your wife he is threatening to publish if you don't pay him, not water marks for him. Putin generating videos of $candidate doing blow of some hookers rear, no watermark for him.

This is the world the Regulators of AI are seeking to make for us. F'them!

There is a third far more likely option. Corruption inst widespread but some agent has a bug up his but because you hurt his feelings at the school board meeting and decides to fishing and pull your records.

if he had to explain to judge the need to investigate you for terrorism comes down to you having complained that a history lesson on aboriginal smoke signals was not an appropriate use of geometry class no matter how interesting or more inclusive it may have been he'd be laughed off. However without this he gets to crawly thru your facebook history and cherry pick things posted in private groups; because meta sold it to them. He can find some post that says something like: "we should riot - but seriously we need to keep this peaceful" truncate the last part and charge you with some kind of incitement crime.

The simple reality is that is how typical FBI agent thinks and operates. I have known many. They think they are 'better' the regual cops, they don't see themselves as citizens or any part of the community. They belive they are watchmen and if anyone suggests ever that someone ought to watch them, well that person is a agitator/commie/traitor/cultist/insurrectionist/ whatever the favored deamon of the week is.

I know y'all like using 1984 as a manual, but you don't have to follow it so exactly.

(Although, limiting it to only two minutes would be nice.)

If you have a 500MB browser tab, your browser is poor. But the Mac has unified memory, the 8GB of RAM is as fast as L3 cache on Intel/AMD, the SSD in its single layer cache mode is about as fast as DDR4, hell the SSD just writing to all layers is faster than early generation DDR4.

The biggest problem is programs not having support for indicating to the OS where to store it. This is changing as now even servers are doing the same (having servers with 16-128GB on-die faster than DDR5 RAM and then an optional layer like Intel Optane as RAM and a layer of NVMe as cache below that layer)

Survival of the fittest is limited to a single generation, evolution is over many generations. HTH.

I suspect is it the same as the evidence you have for calling it a lie - and since you are making the accusation, the burden of proof is on you.

Hamas or Palestinians? Because Palestinians live in Israel, Palestine was the name the Romans gave to Israel to erase the name from the map after repeated revolts. Hamas is an Iran funded terror group whose members originated from (Trans-)Jordan and other Arab states in the various 1950s wars to conquer Israel.
