Horses sustain about 7-7.5 hp for longish periods of time. So the horsepower is itself kinda humorous.

Endurance athletes can sustain about .3-.4 hp for incredibly long periods of time. Considering the fuel requirements even including allometric scaling, humans are actually more efficient than horses at producing horsepower. :D

It's KVM and has a LOT of really bad rough edges. It would be the last possible choice I would make.

In the end we're just developing our own code on top of KVM/etc. Thankfully we're making this a big project betting on Rust and all the awesome Rust programmers ... I'm kidding, it's C++.

Ooooh what if I have metrics across 100ks of laptops that say that nobody seems to intentionally use it? Those that are used it were mostly in a tablet format at the time.

Nobody wants it, but also people have been saying that Apple was going to bring touchscreens in the "next release" since the time of Netbooks. Notably the Macbook 12" was going to come with it.

Maybe they will come, maybe they will not.

Apple has always banded their products. They just decided that iPads had reached all the people they were going to reach and that they could make an iPhone level of performance laptop and it would not eat into their other products.

Dell is just as likely to discontinue their entire laptops tomorrow to sell more "AI servers" since that was about 90% of revenue last quarter.

There's actually a group of duly elected people there who can happily rein in that person. They are for the most part instead not doing anything.

A huge problem for current US politics is that increasingly the smaller states have been controlled by the Republican party for a long time and the Senate is 2 people per state. (HORRIBLE design but made more sense with 13 Independent Colonies.)

A reckoning is going to happen at some point, but I don't think the world or the US is ready for that just yet.

(At least this is the POV of an American who hasn't lived there since 2000 and hasn't been a citizen since 2009.)
