Why an Intel and not an M-Series based machine? Someone at Apple screwed up.

Big surprise, the Snapdragon Elite X is lying through their teeth. https://it.slashdot.org/story/24/04/24/1432240/qualcomm-is-cheating-on-their-snapdragon-x-elitepro-benchmarks https://www.semiaccurate.com/2024/04/19/what-is-qualcomms-purwa-x-pro-soc/ "The rest of the 'disclosure' for...

From a really recent review, it has a lot of problems. Mutahar explains some things that reviewers seem to have left out. Like there's no multi-monitor while using the Vision Pro, without paying extra for an app that does this. It also doesn't feed the Macbooks audio to the headsets speakers...

Apple's iPhone sales dropped 19% in China due to Huawei gaining 69% nice market share increase. Ain't looking good for Apple investors. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/23/apple-iphone-sales-drop-19percent-in-china-as-huawei-demand-soars-counterpoint.html

Doesn't look like the Vision Pro is selling well after all. Ain't the only thing falling sharply for Apple recently. https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/23/apple-cuts-vision-pro-shipments/ "Orders have been scaled back before the Vision Pro has launched in markets outside of the United States...

This isn't something new, and has been going on for over a decade. The problem is that AMD and Intel don't hold motherboard manufacturers accountable for playing with their CPU's in order to get consumers to "buy the better motherboard". If AMD and Intel sell them a chipset then they better...

If you're in a corporate environment then you have distros with support like Red Hat. As an end user, Microsoft doesn't provide support. I get more support from visiting Ubuntu's forums or even Linux Mint's compared to anything from Microsoft. Yea but Apple didn't exactly adopt any standard...

Here's a really good video that explains the creation of the Z80. You'll find the name Federico Faggin in a lot of products that we still use today, including Intel 8080, which big surprise is what the Z80 is based on. Talking about a guy who's responsible for the Intel 4004 as well as...

Dude says it better than me.

When you break down a distro you start to see a lot of similarities. How many distros use SystemD? How many use Mesa for graphics? We know they all use the Linux kernel. The things that do change are UI's, settings, preinstalled applications, and defaults. Some distros go much further like...

When Microsoft and Apple screws up, you do need an alternative. A Duopoly isn't exactly healthy, and you can't even install MacOS on your Windows machine anyway. So when Microsoft does screw up by pushing ads into your OS, and even blocks customization apps that bring back the Windows 10 look...

This isn't a problem with Linux. This is a problem with Windows and MacOS where different versions can widely determine software compatibility. All GNU/Linux distros work the same. The only thing stopping you from using software is dependencies, which can change between distros. Even that...

I've heard issues of people using different refresh rates on different monitors on X11, but on Wayland that's fixed. I have two 1080p monitors running at 60Hz so not a problem I'd run into. A lot of the DLSS and Reflex didn't work initially on Linux, which is something that would turn off...

There are a few key things I think Linux needs to be there. One is that it needs more commercial software, which won't happen until there's more adoption. The second is the migration to Wayland which would fix a lot of UI issues with Linux. The 3rd is quicker adoption to new technologies...

Windows would be my OS of choice if Microsoft wasn't dragging it down. An OS should obey me, not some corporation. I won't disagree that Linux isn't there, because it isn't.
