Hundreds of thousands of users??

This is mostly down to the drivers, and I am sure they will be much improved in the next few months, their driver is still very young and hopefully has lots of room for further improvement

The cpus I’m talking about have released about a month ago, but until very recently AMD were the only good options for handhelds

So they will have the same judgement for apple right?? And not the same bullshit excuse that since it’s even more locked down it’s okay for them to do it?

Intel have shown signs of catching up by putting out a better iGPU than AMD’s latest and greatest for laptop chips in certain games and most compute tasks. They’ve also put out one of the best laptop chips last month, they consume next to nothing while still having decent performance but go on I guess

Let’s hope Asahi linux becomes usable enough as a daily driver before the M series laptops stop getting updates

Fear mongering articles making it seem like they are doomed and will go bankrupt after bad quarterly results were announced. Articles were probably sponsored by rich people wanting to buy Intel stock for cheap. But they won’t go bankrupt because the US gov./army need Intel to stay relevant against China, and Intel is basically the only American company that both designs and fabs their own processors and that is still relevant.

That and the fact that Nvidia is over valued (they are valued at 30x the value of their assets).

Not really anymore. They make them expensive to repair, but they also don’t want you to switch to another brand, because for them a user in the ecosystem purchasing apps and subscriptions is worth way more than a frustrated user purchasing a one time display replacement. Their whole strategy now (for a few years really) is to make devices that last at minimum 5 years, because it makes the user happy that their 5yo phone still works, and that means they are likely to get another iPhone, and because as long as the user is in the ecosystem, they are making money by taking their cut of everything that happens on the device

Which means they’re in a bubble because Nvidia’s total assets (85B$) value is less than half of Intel’s (205B$). I refuse to believe that the “potential for growth” of Nvidia is worth anywhere close to 120B$ in actual value even in the next 5 years. I see only two things here: either Intel is undervalued, or Nvidia is overvalued. I think it’s both. When that bubble bursts it’s going to hit very hard for a lot of people because it’s the same thing as the other big tech companies (apple google meta etc) are all valued based on predictions and magic when the companies that have an actual intrinsic value are worth less

Yes

Oh no now I just thought this a bit more, holes may not even exist, it’s either a crater or a hole. Fuck

It’s possible, I use Firefox and uBO as well on my main PC, but I remember seeing it when installing Firefox on my windows partition

Dangerous game considering Intel should be coming up with their 18A node pretty soon now, and it will supposedly be competitive with TSMC’s 3nm or 2nm according to rumors. They will only need to compete in price, and if they are competitive in performance, and TSCM is increasing their prices so much, it would be a good way for Intel to take some of that market share.

Not to forget than when using bing, if you look for words like Firefox or Chrome, you get a large banner saying to use Edge instead. Super shady stuff

The last time I used arch it worked fine for 6 months then it needed to be scrapped because the network fully stopped working after an update. I’ve been on fedora ever since without a single issue. Arch is fine for personal devices where you can afford to spend half a day on troubleshooting a package that is too recent and straight up doesn’t work because there’s no real testing being done. I wouldn’t put it on a work device simply because it’s not a just works distro

I think I am basically 95% bilingual, my native language is not English, but it was thought in school from first grade (age 5 or 6) all the way to high school (17 years old), and then in post-highschool education, I also had 2 mandatory English courses. The thing is having learned so early is I was too young to realize when I could start entertaining a conversation in English without thinking because it was almost always like that for me.

I do think though that when you can think in your 2nd language without having to mentally translate in your head to your native language is when you’ve reached a level of fluency that is good enough to be called bilingual. I would probably say, if you can understand jokes and plays on words in your second language, that’s probably a good indicator that you are fluent

No, but some are better suited for programming, because each distro has different packages in their repositories. I find Fedora to be very good when it comes to having basically every dev tool available in their repos. Arch is good too but too unstable for actual work. But keep in mind in most distros you can add separate repositories that contains the software you want. You can also use Homebrew that contains lots of dev tools as well

Resolve is basically the only “professional-grade” software for creative work on Linux, and even there depending on hardware like video card the experience will be vastly different

I really dislike windows (and the likelihood of people on Lemmy having the same preference as me is very high), but if you need to do game development or most creative work, I would say to not bother with Linux, it’s not there yet to be fully honest. Maybe in 5 years Photoshop and the music creation software will support Linux, but for now there’s a few lesser known softwares that don’t have as many features. For the other kinds of work though, Linux I think is better than windows

It belonged to another startup, I guess they were négociating and seeing if Threads would pick up in usage before giving them an offer that they wouldn’t refuse
