AMD "Strix Halo" and the RTX Spark devices exist?
C# is worth a look if you want less verbose Java with async/await like you have in other languages, and better performance than Typescript.
Yeah you Mac users are spoiled. I bought this Framework 13 with the Ryzen 5 340 last year and was blown away at how fast it was, only to discover that it's roughly on par with the M1 Pro that came out 4 years earlier (and has much better battery life).
I don't _need_ the battery life and still prefer to run Linux so the tradeoff is worth it to me, but for most users it's pretty hard to not recommend a Macbook.
That question is already answered. pypy only supports 3.11 today and is largely unmaintained.
The second generation Roadster (reservations for which opened in 2017) literally is the product they didn't ship.
Also Cybercab.
How many Optimus robots are out in the wild?
It is a scam, 100%.
Yay the (almost) 10th anniversary of the 2nd generation Roadster reservations, and now it's got fucking rockets apparently?
How delusional are people? The emperor is not wearing clothes y'all.
I agree. But you could easily automate the systemd/podman based setup the OP has using ansible, if you wanted a declarative approach using OP's tools.
For my part, my home server is a single compose file :shrug:
The last Mac I used before buying a Neo was a PowerMac G5 running Leopard. So it's probably just due to familiarity/nostalgia but I think it was the best OS aesthetic out of everything I've used.
About six years ago (as a holdover until I went full homelab, which I never did) I built a machine with some spare parts, a $40 Xeon E5-2650v2 (8 core Ivy Bridge), and one of those Machinist motherboards.
Initially it was just for home server stuff (ZFS array for storage/backups, Plex, Vaultwarden, etc) but then I wanted to experiment with a remote dev environment using LXC/LXD.
I now do all my web development (mostly back-end, Python and C#) on that machine via tmux and VS Code remote SSH. I'm sure if I was running my browser on it it might painful given the slow single-core performance, but honestly I've felt zero need to upgrade it. Once the RAM-pocalypse is over I'll probably look at doing so just for reliability's sake.
It varies wildly from community to community. Sadly, a lot of tech spaces are much more judgemental/toxic than they should be.
The motorcycle and sports groups I've been a part of have had a lot more support from the veterans in the space and were just more positive in general. It's a lot easier to call out/shun the assholes when they're not hiding behind a screen.
It's much more work to make a cross platform GUI app with C++, even if your toolkit is cross platform like Qt. Different compiler tool chains, different system level API's, ARM vs x64 etc.
This is why we see so many Electron apps these days (though Jetbrains was shipping IDE's before electron existed).
> android phones historically got
Well this is up to the phone OEM's (Samsung, Sony, etc) not Google themselves. Google appears to be asserting more control over the software stack of these Googlebooks.
New Pixel phones get 7 years of support.
> It's a special version of Android that has a developer mode that unlocks a virtual (sandboxed) Linux environment
Android for mobile (at least on Pixel phones) has this too.
The "special" bit is the desktop experience. New Pixels have a desktop mode if you plug them into a monitor but it's not as fleshed out and doesn't have their Gemini-ified cursor etc. At least not yet.
I think your notes re. ARM and Qualcomm hit the nail on the head though!
I use incus/LXD for this, though it does require a bit of faffing around with the networking.
The benefit is that its super low overhead (no VM).
It also sounds like these devices _will be supported_ but not by updating ChromeOS, instead by upgrading to Googlebook OS.
C# and Rust (via Tokio) both have M:N threading. They both use a work-stealing algorithm to map many tasks onto a finite thread pool. But you're correct that they are cooperative via async/await, not pre-emptive.
As others mentioned, it wasn't that quick.
It's also not accurate. After nearly a half hour the page shows "git operations" as green but I'm not able to push/pull from my repos with SSH or HTTPS (and haven't been able to the whole time).
I like to think of them like Docker. None of Docker's functionality was new, they just wrapped it in a smooth enough DX for it to reach escape velocity.
I've had good luck using zswap+zstd on Ubuntu 26.04. I have a Framework 13 (AMD) with 16GB, and have a 16GB swap file configured (ext4 root partition).
I had planned to upgrade the machine to 32GB of RAM but I don't really feel it's necessary at this point. Which is obviously great given the current RAM costs!
The war they didn't start? Typically when there's a clear aggressor who initiates a conflict to grab land and resources, you blame them.
There's pros and cons on the longevity side. 24/7 use causes more wear to mechanical parts (fans for instance) but can be better for the electronics, as heat cycles are a big part of the problem there.
Sonnet. It makes my token budget go further and I prefer to have the LLM churn away on rote work while I do the thinking. So while Opus and Fable are undoubtedly smarter, that doesn't materially affect _my_ workflow.
I'm not as up to date on the other vendors' models, but when I last used Gemini my feelings were similar between Pro and Flash.
There's some exceptions to this rule. Google TV devices are Android under the hood and thus, the TV apps are Android apps distributed as apk's just like on smartphones (not web apps).
Lack of a sane desktop app framework from Microsoft.
Heck Microsoft wrote their own damn start menu in React native, and VS Code in Electron.
They can possibly justify the lower sales volume if the margins are much higher.
> when you could run Darwin
That's what this is. Darwin isn't installable today. Apple just dumps a bunch of source code. Previous attempts at making Darwin bootable didn't go far and had no GUI.
> every page
That's a bit hyperbolic. The areas of the internet I frequent do not have egregious ads (for example, this page). Areas where I really would like good ad-blocking (youtube) are often not covered by these ad blockers. Thankfully Youtube Premium isn't too expensive and solves that issue.
Maybe it's better these days but I always found browser extensions (including uBlock) had a pretty big performance hit, so I've always shied away from them (with the exception of a password manager).
It's weird because Gemini via Antigravity or Google Search "AI Mode" works great. It's just the Google Assistant replacement application that's terrible. I've completely given up trying to ask it anything via Android auto. I punch my directions manually in Google maps before I leave now because the voice assistant is unusable.
While VM breakouts have been created in the past, they're about as secure of sandbox as we've got!
