Why BeauHD links to that crappy SpaceflightNow video instead of the original SpaceX stream with much better quality and views... I wouldn't say it's a mystery, it's just his usual lack of work ethic, posting the first link that shows up on a google search.

Here's a better source and explanation [Ars Technica]:

There are tools on Windows that read the MFT directly and provide a count in about 5 seconds.I like Everything search engine (voidtools.com) and WizTree for visualization. Since I have Everything always running, I can get an instant count.

Everything - 1.584.106 files + folders
WizTree - 1.586.124 files + folders

I think the difference is that Everything only counts hardlinked files once. Can't recommend it highly enough for daily use!

10.4T
How long ago since you can't edit comments on slashdot? :/

OK, my bad math as well. It's 104T/92000 = 113.000.000. Not a billion, for not as far off.

> That is at least a billionfold increase in computer power in 50 years

The 4004 was 92k ops, the M1 is 10.4T.
10.4T / 92000 = 113.000. Not even a million, where the hell do they see a billionfold?

What about adding the actual link to the article? Even the linked article doesn't link to it.

BREAKING NEWS! Bitcoin to go either UP or DOWN, says analyst.

That's the common misunderstanding about these speeds.
10Gbps is divided by all users/devices connected to a given base tower. Devices are receiving at 10 Gbps, but only for vewry short timeslots - TDMA means "Time Division, Multiple Access". So if you're the only user connected to the tower, congrats, you have all slots to yourself and can get those 10Gbps. But in a normal city environment there will be thousands of devices, with hundreds sharing a frequency band at any given point - so you get Mbits, not Gbits.

The importance of ever-higher speeds is not about downloading faster, it's about supporting more people and devices connected at the same time.

Yes, I've used the command-line Format back in the day to format FAT32 partitions larger than 32GB. It worked just fine.

So next 4 are covered :-D

No, there's no such thing. They agreed to license them as FRAND - that has no attached price. Read my post above.

Actually, it's 3.5% of $500 = $17.50.
I got confused because they also sell a bundle with other non-essential patents; all together, they charge 5% of device price, capped at $500, which is $20.

Posted by mistake while editing - but you get the idea. Max license cost is $20. The chip itself might cost an extra $200, but that's no different from an Intel CPU. If the manufacturer goes with an Huawei or other non-Qualcomm SoC, it just needs to pay the $20 to Qualcomm since they're still using those patents.
