15 years ago phones got 2X CPU speed, 2X RAM size, and 2X storage size every single year, for the same price.

10 years ago phones got like 20% faster CPU every year, and 1.5X storage size every three years, and you can still find barely usable phones with only 2GB RAM manufactured in 2025.

Now even 5% faster CPU per year is an achievement, and it costs battery life.

Do you need to buy a new phone each year? Only if you smashed your old one. Don’t expect any performance improvement in games, and your CPU speed does not matter if you only send emails and read news.

Well PS5 only has 16 GB RAM

It’s honestly like that with free mobile apps. You either find a paid version or you install free abandonware riddled with ads.

The entirety of cron documentation is contained in the twenty lines of comments in the new config file created by cron -e

The only thing you need to know is cron -e command. There’s no learning curve, it’s more like - you are a cron expert in five minutes after learning that such a tool exists.

Letsencrypt certs are the only certs you will ever need, everything else is corporate posturing.

Meta-Tab switches between activities on KDE.

Don’t call it Windows key. It’s Meta, even if Micro$oft paid to put an advert on it.

Wasn’t there a Rust-to-C compiler that would circumvent this limitation?

My advice is to go to https://gsmarena.com/ and find a phone with 4nm octa-core chipset for $400. Who needs those four cameras, you’ll probably use those fisheye lens maybe three times in your phone’s lifetime. It’s better to buy a phone with some useful gimmick like 6000 mAh battery and have 1.5 day life on a single charge.

Considering that most techbro startups are going to be dead within a year, I’d say AI wins.
Plus most of the competent programmers already have high resistance for technobabble bullshit, and will simply refuse to work on something like an online contacts app (are you copying a Facebook or what?)

The future is here! And it costs $10-$50 per 1000 HTTP requests.

The future is here! And it costs $1 per 1000 HTTP requests.

Nah, it must be a PC, with broken audio socket on the motherboard, PCI soundcard with no drivers as a replacement, an IDE CD drive, only SATA sockets on the motherboard, and a stack of CDs with hundreds of DOS games on each. Plus $10 to buy an IDE-to-SATA adapter.

Definitely videogames

Android itself is fine, the problem is that you cannot modify it.
Non-Android Linux only sounds good in theory, in practice you’ll be doing phone calls from command line, and that’s not fun. Neither Ubuntu Phone nor Firefox mobile OS went anywhere, and Gnome right now has better touchscreen support than Ubuntu Phone ever had.

They already have it, just not an IDE.

I believe most of Arduino libraries are open-source, so they can simply fork it.

Even if this miracle technology works, which is questionable, it would be like constructing a giant antenna to catch tiny amount of cosmic microwave background radiation to convert into electricity.

Catching up from that time when Github CEO stepped down. I guess I’ll just move back to sourceforge.

They’ll simply switch fully to outsourcing. There’s no language barrier if all your middle managers are also from India.

Your laptop is a cash counter.

I consider ‘based’ an opposite of ‘sour’ or ‘acidic’. That is, being alkaline and having high pH is considered socially desirable. Mixing based and sour personalities will naturally produce salt, that is, dried tears.

Cooking is a term for any time-consuming chemical reaction, which happens to include food preparation.

I have no chemistry-related explanation for rizz. Something to do with sparks?
