It makes sense to look at electricity usage. It tells the full story of the UK’s deindustrialisation policy starting under Thatcher and continuing under all governments, and recently under Theresa May’s net zero policies (also supported by all governments). There’s no reason aluminium smelting can’t come back to the UK with a proper energy policy of expanded nuclear power, more fracking, more renewables etc

Linux is terrible on ARM, I don't agree that it runs perfectly fine at all. Try loading Ubuntu onto a Snapdragon laptop for example. It works but lots of issues eg sound, webcam quality, etc

May I recommend the excellent https://s3drive.app/ which is compatible with S3 and also providers like Proton Drive

It's the automatic zooming animations. I've not found any OBS scripts that can do this?

Also checkout https://screenix.studio/ if you're on Linux

I just tried Open Screen but it didn't work on my machine (Cachy OS) - it didn't detect the screen or my microphone. Hopefully it gets better

Break free from Google by paying money to Google for a Pixel phone? Even with a used Pixel, you're helping prop up their used market value which helps Google

No taxation without representation. AI Boston Tea Party follows. Leading to a new AI run nation aka Skynet...

You're looking at the wrong laptop, the Dell XPS 13 9345 has a ~88.6% screen to body ratio, the Macbook Pro 14 M4 2024 has a ~84.6% screen to body ratio.

The weight is the big one for me - only 2.5 lbs vs 3.4 lbs

Remember the Dell has an 18 month old processor, X Elite 2 coming out next year.

Source for all these stats: https://nanoreview.net/en/laptop-compare/dell-xps-13-9345-20...

Checkout the Dell XPS 13 9345, webcam is on top but with thinner bezels than a Macbook, it's got a Snapdragon ARM processor for good battery life, OLED screen, upto 64GB RAM, and is smaller and lighter than a Macbook Air

Snapdragon X Elite 2 processor will be out next year for the refreshed model

It's the opposite of what you say. Proportional representation isn't accountable because you don't know what coalition you're voting for - coalitions are done in backrooms after the election. Winner takes all is more accountable because the coalitions are done before the election (aka political parties). Parties are made up of different factions and they're agreed before the election.

Fair enough. There will be Ubuntu support just to let you know - https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-10-concept-snapdrag...

Apparently they're working with Qualcomm to make this happen.

People need to switch to Snapdragon processors. No issues like that with Snapdragon processors, the X Elite chips is about as good as an M2 or M3

And the X Elite 2 with 18 cores will likely be announced today :D - https://www.qualcomm.com/company/events/snapdragon-summit

You don't need a spoofed email to steal someone's crypto. Criminals can just hold a gun to your head and demand your keys.

It's happened lots of times and it's why traditional banks are way more secure than crypto.

Well done to the author for talking about it, but I hope the real lesson is learned that crypto isn't a real store of wealth and can be stolen at any time....

The revolution in the 1600s was reversed - as far as I know the UK is the only country in the world to have reversed a revolution.

If you want more healthcare security you're more likely to get that in an uncodified system like the UK. Yes your healthcare rights can be reversed but better that, than never happening at all like in the US.

A codified system also hands vast power to lawyers. The US is a lawyer's paradise of everyone suing everyone, rising political violence due to inflexibility, and more risk of revolution.

The UK and US are both equally nations of immigrants in 2025 at about 16% of the population being born abroad. The UK constitution is written but uncodified and unites the country under the King. The constitution can slowly change to deal with immigration, but in the US they're stuck with either what you have or violent revolution...

Biggest mistake the Americans did was codify their constitution. I'll probably be pilloried for that but look at the evidence:

- US is about to have military on the streets during peacetime with no terror threat within a codified constitution

- UK has had military on the streets in response to terrorism in Northern Ireland (a real threat) and not for decades. The UK constitution is uncodified and spread over many (10+?) documents ranging from Magna Carta in the 1200s to the Bill of Rights in the 1600s to documents written in the 1800s and then more modern Acts of Parliament.

Importantly the UK constitution can slowly change which means the UK has never had a revolution and never will do. Whereas the US constitution is rigid which achieves the opposite: when it does change it'll be dramatic and as a result of another violent revolution.

Isn't the Mac way a good thing though? For example everything on Windows is moving to web apps where I feel they can load just as many trackers onto you eg https://www.theverge.com/news/710509/whatsapp-windows-app-we...

Whereas on Mac, Meta are keeping their native app presumably because they can't be in the Mac app store with just a web wrapper

But maybe I've just got the exact delusion youre talking about in that I view the app as having more functionality. Maybe they need to free web apps to be on a level playing field as you say

You could take the 13 mini to Apple and swap out the battery for a new one? That might solve some of the battery issues

May I ask what your approximate screen on time is each day? You must be less addicted than the general population where its 4-6 hours a day

Me neither. I found this https://github.com/Geczy/coolify-migration but if there's a native way to do it that would be great.

"Move them to a separate server" - is that easy to do using Coolify?

Business people don't necessarily make the best economists or politicians, that's the main lesson from the last few years to me.

That's such a good analogy!

In my experience the Snapdragon X Elite is about the same as an M2. It's got slightly worse battery life but still a battery that blows the competition out the water.

Plus you get the benefits of loading out your laptop with 64GB RAM etc without paying Apples ridiculous prices

Snapdragon are just getting started. The Snapdragon X2 is coming out later this year with 18 cores

Apple does have some serious competition now
