5 hours peak output per day sounds a bit optimistic, but I'm in Sweden so maybe we have kinda crappy conditions by default. My output in December wasn't that great. :)

My pet peeve is their ridiculous stance on screenshots, which are often something like 320x200 pixels because they are afraid of infringing on some copyright. That's a way stricter reading of the law than what is necessary.

But you demonstrate yourself why it's a stupid unit when you're using it wrong. 5 volts has nothing to do with it, it's whatever voltage the battery happens to spit out at the moment, which varies. 3.7 or 4.2 would be more accurate but still not right.

This is nothing but an ad for a specific brand of phones.

Everyone has a "three year roadmap", it's always three years in the future because that's when everyone has forgotten the empty promises. They have nothing to back this up, other than "we will add more battery".

Come back when I can filter on "source available" and "no ads". Without that, the play store search is completely useless to me.

As someone who is generally for filesharing and very much against the near-infinite copyrights we have right now, I think it is a good thing that a massive mega-corporation is finally on "our" side.

It used to be Disney and Microsoft vs the common people so obviously Disney won. Now the Disney attorneys can battle with the Meta attorneys, and I'm sure Microsoft is going to keep its mouth shut unless someone makes them admit to doing pretty much the same thing.

Not to mention the relatively high cost of labor in China now. I think OP' (OP-prime, second OP, what do we call a comment-thread-starter?) is out of date by 20 years on this information.

If the management set unrealistically high expectations, I bet it is because they have been to some lobbyist/sales meeting and pumped full of Microsoft propaganda, too technical for them to judge.

I work professionally as a C developer for embedded systems and enjoy programming assembly at my spare time, but I learnt C++ for my hobby projects a few years ago, using primarily C++20.

While I feel very comfortable around pointers, I have to defend modern C++ because I don't think I've ever had to use a pointer in C++20 other than perhaps interfacing with "legacy" C APIs. C++21 meta-programming and its library is powerful enough that you can express pretty much everything you want, especially with the move construct so you can tell the compiler what to do with big data.

Templates with the concepts feature and more and more things added to constexpr now makes it easier than ever to deal with serious low-level hardcore optimizations while keeping the code reasonably high-level. IMO as someone who always obsess about those things.

I actually still use it on my Amiga because the SVN port is a little buggy. I should try my brother's git port one of these days.

Believe it or not, but OpenBSD notoriously still uses CVS.

Amazing to see a real life slashdotting again!

Broadcom is tagged in the fine article but not mentioned in the actual text.

That's a pretty good hint.

Sounds more like breakfast from the seventies. No wonder they are alarmed at the past 50 year's price hike.

Spending money on fireworks does not make their lives a little less shit. In fact, it makes it a little more shit.

Gotta go check if they have my 2003 VW Passat Wagon in there! I might be behind on firmware updates.
