Jony Ive design philosophy of "thin and with round corners" can be seen in the Ferrari Luce. The car looks like an iPhone.

Is the V in Cider-V the Roman numeral 5 or V like in Visual?

Apple needs Intel to make the chips!

"... we have an odor on the plane as well here at this time. We are going to be going back to the gate, request fire as well." - United pilot

"2384, it is oder like a smoke odor ...like from fire?" - Control

"No, it was a weird odor. I don't know exactly how to describe it. But yeah... we can't get a hold of anyone at the ops for a gate assignment." - United pilot

"Ground, United 2384 is declaring an emergency. The flight attendants in the back are feeling ill because of the odor. We will need to go into an available gate at this time." - United pilot

"... the fire trucks are over there. They're going to bring a stair truck just in case you guys do want to evacuate. Let me know if you do." - Control

"Copy, yeah, we prefer to wait on a gate, but I mean, again, we only got so much time here because there's still a bit of odor in the back of the airplane." - United pilot

"646, number two, clear to land 4." - Control

"Truck one and company, cross four Delta." - Control

"No, man, you did the best you could." -Frontier pilot

And 'vmlinux' was inspired by the 'vmunix' (Virtual Memory Unix) the UNIX kernel.

While other Linux distros were already reported to work, some tools provide by Nvidia won't work with Fedora or NixOS. Not yet!

I couldn't get Nvidia AI Workbench to start on Neon KDE after changing to DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu in /etc/lsb-release. Neon is based on Ubuntu Noble too.

Just donated $100 to ZSF via ever.org!

Very well done, sir! Now you challenged me to make a donation also. However, as an individual I assure you that it won't match yours.

That's a pledge only! Let me know when Synadia & TiregBeetle actually send money to Zig Foundation.

Before WSL, Microsoft provided "Windows Services for UNIX" to "Seamlessly integrate Microsoft Windows into your UNIX environment."

The same Windows services are provided to "Seamlessly integrate Microsoft Widows into your Linux environment."

WSU became WSL!

United Airlines Flight 173 ran out of fuel while circling Portland International Airport trying to troubleshoot a landing gear. Six more minutes of fuel could have helped the airliner to land in the Columbia river by the airport or belly land on the runway. The captain chose to keep troubleshooting and crashed just 6 miles away from the airport.

True. In the Second Edition the Preface mentioned that "Finally, the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10" and some of those systems were connected mostly via telephone lines.

The article refers to a "typical packet found on a typical network" then describes an Ethernet frame, so the author clearly refers to MACs in an Ethernet setup.

MAC is part of the Ethernet standard. The clue of why is needed for is in the name "access control". Without MAC there's no Ethernet. Without Ethernet there's no Internet.

Wait ...there are other networking standards!

"The Internet doesn't use MAC addresses, and Internet packets don't have MAC addresses" is a wrong assumption. What's an "Internet packet"? Without MACs there's no networking. Without networking there's no Internet.

Media Access Control (MAC) address is the method to control access to the physical transmission medium. A switch doesn't care about your upper layers (IP, TCP, etc.) but won't find your host without a MAC address. That's why MACs are called hardware address and work on the local link only, from the port on your cool network interface to the other end of the cable or radio signal.

The Itanium was a new 64bit architecture. AMD64 is just addition to the 32bit Intel architecture. Itanium didn't make it, so we're stuck with backward compatibility all the way to 8080 in today's x86 processors. That's all in the past! What I'm looking forward is to the future SoC releases with Intel cores and Nvidia graphics.

He's using "Linux Mint" for OS. Should have used "Coffee Linux" instead.

That's Raptor Computing Systems (www.raptorcs.com) now selling Talos II workstations.

We will always have Linux, the kernel, but the desktop experience is being sabotaged by Microsoft with WSL.

"The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as criminal offense" Edsger Dijkstra, 1975.

HP Z440, it's in the article.
