Current AI is good at compressing knowledge.

Best job role: information assistant or virtual secretary.

A few years from now we may be seeing US tariffs on these just like EVs today.

China is developing fast and it took US trade war seriously.

A couple generations don’t mean much anymore.

Performance gains have been slow.

I’d rather understand where exactly is its performance in comparison to AMD and Intel.

Then I can make a call if it is worth it.

After all there’s plenty of Raspberry Pi level performance and people are happy with it as long as price is right.

They don’t want Boeing even for free.

There’s so much incompetent advice here.

CPU is fine.

Linux is booting and tries to connect to TPM (trusted platform module).

It has nothing to do with graphics card. Fact it is booting means CPU is most likely likely unaffected.

TPM is most likely fried.

Linux can run without TPM. Plenty of old boards were shipped with TPM socket, but without TPM itself.

Best option is get manual for your motherboard and pull out that TPM.

Any passwords stored there are lost, if you used it.

If TPM is fine, then board pathway to it may be damaged. If that’s the case and you really need it, then board replacement is your option. But that’s only after good TPM was tried.

Jellyfin, i own my streaming

Gnome has been running user space applications just fine for me on Wayland, Arch Linux.

There were some issues about 2 years ago. I have no complaints for last 12 months.

Wayland is today’s life for some.

• Steam gaming , proton and native
• visual studio code
• qemu running windows
• app interrupting work to relax eyes
• old mysql dashboard ui

Basically, I have not seen app specific issues for my user flow.

Only if there is such a huge vulnerability that they will have no choice.

That’s just my guess.

Promise of support is a tricky one.

You can pay for dreamhost, namecheap or any other shared hosting plan that provides WebDAV. Some provide unlimited storage. I am not sure how realy unlimited it is.

Buy domain and host empty website. Turn on ssl using hosting tools. Dreamhost provides you with free certificate for that. Namecheap charges after 1st year.

Create directory on the website using hosting tools and turn on webdav on that directory. It can be password protected. Turn on password protection and disable public access using hosting tools.

That will give you a disk that can be mounted on Windows, Linux or mac without additional software. On iOS you will need an app like OwlFiles. You will have access to it From home or coffee shop. Anywhere. It will act as your remote storage and you can access it using Explorer or Finder. Most tools will read content of remote disk without any restrictions.

Create another directory and leave public access to have public sharing directory only you can change (keep passwords).

Create another directory or use one of your private subdirectory with application Joplin and you get free and open source notes and todo system. That system can encrypt all your notes with master password. I recommend it: https://joplinapp.org

The might be other apps…

I use Linux for home and Mac for work. My Mac is older Intel based with software bar for F keys. If in the past 10 years ago I was into Mac and owned one… I no longer see the reason for Mac.

Hardware choices are not a selling point

Context bar makes it harder to use for programming. It is not a sell for me.

Mouse pad frequently jumps cursor.

Keyboard feedback is cheap.

Software is not impressive either

Usability wise Gnome is better than OS X for me. No ctrl key on right side is terrible.

Due to Windows subsystem for Linux v2 I am starting to think Windows is better for Linux development than Mac.

MAC M1, M2 laptops have good battery life going for them.

They should make hardware people want to buy.

Hardware that’s worth the price.

Lately they failed on both counts and failed 1st means never had a chance at 2nd.

These comments are definitely reddit tier and that’s sad for the fediverse.

People don't change just because technology is different.
