If you go into your phone settings and toggle the "5G only" switch, T-Mobile has the best network coverage in the USoA.

Granted, no sane person would use their phone like that. The correct usage is 4G + 5G. But it points at a fundamental truth: Each networks comes with their own set of strengts and weaknesses

And here, you just answered yourself. If they have good (or the best) coverage in the areas where you dwell for a significant ammount of time (Home, Office, nearby shops, Gym, etc) , then it makes sense to use them, no matter what the national/State average is. You care about your use-case, not some nationwide average.

In my country, is similar for me, my carrier used to have CRAP coverage nationwide, but they arrived with 4G to my parents house (another state, 120Km from me, I live on the nation's capital, so new tech arrives here first) in 2013. The closest competitor? 2018. Doesn't it make sense to go to the weaker carrier nationwide because I serves my use case better?

Besides, there are plenty of phones with multi-(e)SIM support. That same competitor that arrived with 4G in 2018? When electricity fails (a normal occurrence in all our country except the capital), the only carrier that keeps on ticking is that carrier, so, I have their SIM as well.

So, to reiterate:
Each carrier has strenghts and weaknesses
The Nationwide or state-wide averages are almost always non relevant to you.
Choose based on your own use case in he locations that are relvant to you.

Same with Dell with CAMM and nVIDIA+Micron with SOCAMM (similar name, similar idea, completely different use cases). Both of those presented the original stadard as a PoC, and then handed it over to JEDEC, so they became CAMM2 and SOCAMM2, completely neutral industry wide standards.

I suspect the same will happen here, a few demo/lab/PoC products will be produced, and then this will be handed over to JEDEC, so that it becomes an industry wide standard.

What do they (SKHynix, Sandisk and before them Dell, Micron and nVIDIA) win by doing this? IF (and only if) there are patents involved, they win FRAND revenue (just as an aside, neither CAMM2 nor SOCAMM2 have patents involved). And wether there are patents involved or not, these companies have a leg up on the competition in terms of know-how and practice making the stuff.

Even iFixIt gave the Neo good grades. And iFixIt tends to be very stingy about that.

This is only the kernel. Meanwhile, in the cases of windows and macos, the vuln count is against the whole OS.

The correct comparison in that case would be against specific distros, not against the kernel.

I will not go into amymojo' motives. For me, I do not need to justify windows, or linux, or macos any more than I need to justify a flathead screwdriver, a torx one, or a pentalobe one.

Each one has their uses, advantages and disadvantages.

PS: Fun fact! Before Pentalobes gained world fame by being adopted by apple, they were used in titanium screws, being used specifically for neck surgery.

It turns out that, now that AI code review has gotten good enough, there is no difference, eyes wise, between open and closed source software.

If anything, for most projects, paid commercial SW (FOSS or not) has an advantage, because they have the money to pay for the mechanical eyes without depending "on the kindness of strangers". The Linux kernel and some other big or well known non-paid-for projects will have no problem getting mechanical eyes. The smaller, or more obscure projects, not so much.

ESR should make another revision of "tCatB" ;-)

6.12 is a SLTS. For the time being Greg -KH (not Linus) pathces it. In the future, when Greg stops, it will be the CIP.

Once the Kernel is patchedM each distro decides when to offer the patched kernel as an update. Some distros take longer than other.

Debian, being the foubdation of so many other distros, is newsworthy in that sense

Snark aside, this is a legitimate question. I could not climb over the paywall to read TFA to find out myself.

I've seen (and/or worked in) many "normal-non-AI" datacenters in Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia and Poland*, and studied normal Datacenter best practices documents, and the ammount of wood used in their construction is minimal. Most of the floors are done in concrete, the walls are done in concrete (poured or pre-tensed), or heavy brick, the ceilings are concrete or metallic (to be able to hold the weight of the AC units)

Not only that, AI datacenters DO NOT use false floors, wood or otherwise. The weight of the Racks would collapse them, not only that, even the normal concrete floors of a normal datacenter is insuficient for AI racks, you need reinforced concrete floors to hold the weight of the racks used. Also, fiber is very lightweight, and electricity arrives in 800VDC or 480VAC, so cables are lighter and can be run overhead.This also simplifies maintenance of the cables.

Also, AI Datacenters are Large Open Spaces, there are no subdivisions for different groups, or "colo customers"

So, all these carpenters are doing what? So many kittechenettes? The entry halls?

I'd would undestand plumbers, as much of this gear is liquid cooled.

So What are the "unprecedented number of carpenters" for?

* Poland is the odd man out, Nokia invited us to see a "reference customer"

Direct consequences for users in the short term, not many. But considering that most of the servers users interact with are on top of KVM, either as "Plain Vanilla" VMs, or Cloud Implementations (AWS runs on top of KVM, ditto for most of OpenStack), the indirect consequences of these changes quickly add up.

In theory, big chunks of Rosseta 2 are still on MacOS, for specialized purposes, in particular gaming, as staed by Apple themselves. So maybe, Wine on Mac can work with that.

Me? I Bootcamped before, and will bootcamp until 2028.

I can not believe that a 5 digit /. user can not google on his/her own what FireFox ESR means.

If I only used MacOS, I'd gone that same route. But when I selected Firefox all those years ago, I had mixed use of Windows and MacOS. Nowadays, I still bootcamp from time to time to play. And I also use Linux esporadically...

So firefox it is...

I was the one who submited the article to /., I use FireFox ESR as my main browser, I have nothing against firefox,

And yet, I am the first one that will admit that, compared to Chrome or Safari (I use MacOS) firefox is an absolute sieve of memory, and slow compared to the other two. And my Chrome also has uBlock Origin lite and sponsorblock, and privacy badger, and all the other niffty plug-ins... so, is not the plug-ins slowing Firefox down.

PS: Safari is left as is, as the browser of last resort.

FireFox IS NOT a frugal option for anything, but if on top of the non-frugal option of firefox you deploy the non-frugal option of full fat adobe acrobat PDF editing, well... you go non-frugal times two. Underpowered machines running on the edge would trip over that edge (pun intended)
