JIT emulation is also interpreted code. Not everything that is interpreted code is something high level, like javascript or python.
As for apple's relaxation of interpreted code, they still put the kabosh on most of the more useful applications of it.
Like JIT.

which is why I can still do more with my ancient pixel 4A, than you kids can do with your latest edition ipad/phone.
Apple's walled garden comes at a price.
I'll definitely give you these ones.
PDF manipulation on Android is *TRASH*, and windows 11 is a horrible operating system, that wants very much to treat you very poorly.
Sadly, device makers really *REALLY* do not want to open up their tablets for Linux like they should. Touch interface on linux might be a bit rough, but there are much better tools for office productivity and PDF manipulation for linux, than for either windows or android.
I just dont feel that I would be willing to fork out the extra dough for an apple tablet, where I would lose all manner of other functionality, just for PDF and office tasks.
While support is limited to a handful of models, due to a shortage of skilled maintainers, there are a few android tablets that support lineage OS, or postmarket OS.
Like OnePlus tablets, and Galaxy series tablets from samsung.
Good support from LineageOS for those. The Galaxy Tab A7, from 6 years ago, *IS STILL GETTING UPDATES* from Lineage, for instance.
LineageOS on android devices push their service lives *WAAAY* past what is normally doable. My now very ancient Pixel 4A is *STILL* getting monthly updates via LineageOS, for instance.
"nothing gets fixed"
Say again? What part of Monthly Updates did you not understand?
*IPv6 support*
My phone supports it natively. Dunno what you are going on about.
*superior AI*
This is a matter of personal preference, and I will assert that my preference trumps yours, when it comes to the device that *I* am using. Thank you very, very much.
*Able to play older games*
I can sideload on old android 2.x games on my phone fine-- Oh, wait, I said sideload, Thats a thing apple products cant do, isn't it? Awww.
*Unless they are old mac games, ironically*
Must really suck that Apple wont let you run interpreted code, huh? As for myself, I can run all kinds of stuff. Emulated game consoles, Winlator for older windows titles, BasiliskII for that classic mac experience you mentioned, ADosBox for classic DOS titles, all manner of stuff. Real shame apple doesn't let *ANY* of that play on their products!
*Able to use UNIX tools because its UNIX*
You do know that you can in fact get access to the console, without rooting, on android devices, right? There's any number of solutions for that, of varying quality, from the playstore-- and if you dont like any of those, you can sideload (Ohh--- there it is again!) F-DROID and get direct-compiled FOSS tools.
*Superior Hardware*
In what ways, exactly? They are all sealed units that you cant easily open, All have unremovable batteries, etc. If you mean "It has an alumalloy frame", I hate to burst your bubble, but there are plenty of such tablets in the android offering space. A great many android devices are built around very mature 3D rendering capable graphics chips as well, so when you load up things like Winlator, you can actually do D3D games on them. Not terribly well, since its ARM64 emulating an X86-64 CPU, but good enough for most things that you would actually find pleasurable to play on a tablet form factor.
*High performance graphically and otherwise for the cost*
Look above in the comments for how a savvy buyer saved over 1000$ buying an android tablet, then get back to me on that.
So funny to see people bitching about spyware when they carry a smartphone everywhere, do online shopping, use credit cards etc.
1. You sure these are the same people? There are LOTS of people in the world, some people complain about spyware AND either don't carry a phone, or carry a dumbphone or run Graphene or something similar.
2. Online shopping and credit card usage can be limited; one can buy their laundry detergent on Amazon with an Amex and still pay for their kink toys in person with cash. One need not opt out of the surveillance tradeoff EVERYWHERE to still desire a means of making private purchases in certain cases.
3. Most of the surveillance done in a car is done after the car has been paid for by the user. Money has changed hands, but the OEM still seems entitled to sell data the driver generates. The selling of the data does not benefit the owner of the vehicle at all, only the person gathering and selling it. This is different than a payment processor or online merchant that provides a service that has some benefit to the user - access to goods not easily available through traditional retail or where retail purchase would involve prohibitive distance or transport requirements being some examples. In the case of credit card companies, yes, they most definitely make money off purchase data...but they also use it to combat fraud and mitigate liability, which cash simply doesn't make possible. And, in the case of smartphones, even stock ones, data harvesting is more selective, and the phone can be left home, while the car cannot. Yes, data is still harvested and used in ways that don't benefit the customer, granted...but it *does* provide a counterbalance that a remotely usable vehicle kill switch does not.
"But muh smartfownnn" is such a lazy and overly reductive argument against a very complex situation that has plenty of room for nuance and specifics.
Everyone bitching and moaning over too much spyware and nanny electronics here is what you asked for.
Is it, though? Serious question, I looked into this some time ago...and they make NO claims of this. They claim they don't have an infotainment system, fine...but that doesn't mean it lacks a GPS tracker, a "tattletale" connection that sends CANBUS/ODBII data back to a mothership somewhere, and/or a remotely accessible kill switch.
If you've got documentation that says that the Slate lacks these things SPECIFICALLY, I'd love to read about it...but when I looked, they made no claims of this and made no spectacle of it in their privacy policy...so 100% sincerely, if you've got a citation for this, I'd LOVE to read it.
Honestly there is so much room around Comanche Nuclear (it has a massive man made reservoir instead of using river water) they could easily expand it to 4 or 6 units without much issue.
One reason Vogtle added two was the original site analysis called for four units so they didn’t have to get a site approved. I suspect, ifvthey do build these plants, most if not all will be built on existing sites that were licensed for more units than they built.
I'll say the obvious: because we all know that ChatGPT is used constantly for cheating. I'm no fan of this paid cheater, but 3 years of prison for that is stupid. Tax evasion? Sure. Scam? Fuck no. Sounds like the university be bad at Englishing.
I'm guessing the three years wasn't for the cheating but the money laundering and unauthorized computr access, the cheating was just a by product of those crimes.
It also blocks all those dildo popup ads when I'm looking for pirate software!
Thank goodness for Texas!
No, SystemD wants to grow up into a REAL despotic gatekeeping process that locks you out of your own hardware for idiotic reasons that only its developer thinks are important, just like the big corporate offerings do!
Its just a humble bit of free software with big dreams! Wont you love it?
[massive sarcasm]
Less smarmy, I feel that this is just more of the same basic mindset from the systemD development folks. They have yet to find an onerous feature that they have been unwilling to embrace, and then angrily evangelize for.
"oh, but California said they want this done-- Nevermind that they explicitly exempted FOSS projects and OSes, That's not important, we are doing our best to satisfy this new legal requirement! Yes! This requirement that we dont actually have to follow! We need to follow it! Yes! We're doing our part!"

For clarity.
But CITIZEN! THAT is an OBSTACLE to police investigations!
Don't you want police to investigate crimes!?
You aren't SOFT ON CRIME, are you!? Only criminals would have anything to fear from expanded police powers, citizen!
Remember Citizen, Reauthorizing FISA is absolutely ESSENTIAL to our national security, because the gatekeeping by all those bad, onerous warrants we used to need were OBSTACLES to INVESTIGATION! Those mean, bad terrorists that hate our way of life are aided and abetted by our heroic men and women being stymied in this most important work! (Pay absolutely no attention to what's in the Kissinger memos! We're good guys! You can TRUST us!)
--- That is to say, 'We gotta be able to do this whenever, however, however often, and for whatever reason we want!' Is indeed *exactly the thing they cannot be allowed to have*, (for the very reason you just illustrated), and is also expressly they very thing they have been crying publicly about until govt gave it to them.
There is not a category where it is at once cheap and easy to do, and 'does not get abused'.
That means it cannot be cheap and easy to do, if you want to prevent its abuse.

If they're not dependent on Send & Track (or they can't move to Docusign), it fits most office environments I've used it in.
> Cook likened the memory shortages to a hundred-year flood. "I've never seen anything like it in any area in over 40 years," he said.
100 or 40, which one is it Tim?
Both. The hundred year flood is a rare event and he hasn’t seen it. Just because it is a hundred year flood doesn’t mean it happens every hundred years.
