It still could be a mistake in the long term, though. Imagine the wise US administration slapping 1,220,332% tariffs on Taiwan? Or China wreaking havoc there. I still think Intel could fare well with better leadership handling their fabs.

AMD did that, but Global Foundry doesn’t do that well, at least compared to TSMC. Also Intel was going strong with their fabs until AMD started building better chips architecture wise. I’m just saying that splitting might not work.

C’mon they have a video showing it! It has to be real!!!

I’d say games. I’d that really takes off, Linux would replace Windows and all other standards will follow.

Java has still an enormous adoption, though. It’d be very self harming making it deprecated. And I don’t think containerization solves majority of cases, perhaps it does it better in backend. So both GC and Java are here with us like forever 🤷‍♂️

If it has to be JVM, then Kotlin. Java done properly.

I moved from Spotify to tidal as well. Tidal is fine except for their catalogue mess. They tend to group different artists with same name to a single artist. Here and there I feedback them, they correct it in a week or so but the first next album is wrong again. But I’m glad that at least it pays music owners better and doesn’t throw money at shit podcasts and such

It works well, what do you want more? Sure, it’s not official but the most of the important bits are official since at it’s core it’s a web app.

Right and the only issue is with 3rd parties which will eventually migrate as well. Basically we’re not in a hurry and migration should happen eventually.

The official reason for tariffs is government subsidy AFAIK, but in reality the moment they lower the tariffs, US and EU automobile industry is done.

Not necessarily as they are using LFP chemistry which has much more cycles than the standard one.

Indeed. Or American or German or any other. They are all spywares on wheels and this should be regulated - no communication unless explicitly approved by customer at very least.

TBH nobody can compete with BYD at this point at normal consumer level.

I’m considering transition from Windows like OP, tried Ubuntu desktop first, since I have some experience with server version, and for some reason it kept crashing on me, then I tried fedora workstation and it works reliable, so I’m planning to stick with it. NVidia card, Ryzen 3700, plenty of RAM machine.

Thanks for ideas, I’ll look into roaming profiles (but do you need similarly set computers then if profile was to work on all?). Also how much space do you allocate for a system partition (I guess the rest is all for /home) - I know this could be subjective?

That’s long term memory for you. Normal when you get old.

HDDs? Srsly? Besides, throwing a 4TB NVM in there should be enough for most, shouldn’t it? Or are games more demanding these days? At worst over could use an external drive but that’s not ideal. Anyway, for that money I can build a very decent PC myself.

At least memory is soldered on because of high throughout they say.

I remember, when we were learning prolog, that in the 70s, or something like, that they were already experimenting with AI and it was quite good at diagnostics. However doctors were scared of losing jobs instead of embracing it and using it as a tool. So they dropped it at the time. Hopefully they will use it as an additional tool this time and everybody profits.

Somehow I’m still sceptical. How would they achieve it and why would anybody need it?
