Don’t worry, Microsoft has been working hard to port all of the worst things from windows 11 into 10.

I love booting up servers. 95% of the boot process is spent on the ram check. 4% is spent on the actual bios things, and 1% is actually booting the OS.

Even on my home server (a desktop with 64 gigs of ram) the ram check takes longer than the OS.

The speed difference between my brand new 7200rpm 20TB HDD and a random ass sata SSD is still astounding. Sequentially the HDD is only half as slow. But booting an OS or loading files the HDD is maybe a 10th the speed. Small sequential files is where SSDs shine, especially when it comes to high end NVME drives. That’s why iops are always included in benchmarks.

Windows on an HDD takes like 1-2 minutes to boot. A sata SSD is closer to 30 seconds, and a high end NVME drive is like 10 seconds.

from the article:

They argue that Musi is a ‘parasitic’ app that doesn’t compensate creators or rightsholders.

The edges of those slider bits can be pretty rough from the factory. If you want to skip the tape just slightly sand or file the corners of the mouse. Once they wear they get a bit smoother, but some gamer mice have some insane anti grip pads that have 0 traction, but the Apple ones have a bit even once worn in.

I have never heard of a carrier re carrier locking a phone before. If they really hated you they’d just blacklist the iemi and then you wouldn’t be able to use it on any carrier. But they’re not that petty, they don’t care.

Visibility is good and equivalent to some LEDs with higher end lamps

No. Not even close. LEDs are blinding because they have such high output. That high output is what makes things visible.

There’s a lot more than just two temperature sensors inside your phone. Your screen has sensors, there’s a few chassis sensors, your CPU has probably 30+ inside of it etc.

The pixels is external which is unique I guess.

Man I’m surprised Samsung didn’t dominate this list. My galaxy S4 was filled with so many garbage features that I never used.

Samsung and their garbageware was like 50% of the reason why I switched to iOS for my main phone.

Those countries probably didn’t pay 5.5 billion dollars for TSMC to build a new facility in their country.

Multiple sources of production.

We learned during concentrating all of your production in one small country wasn’t a good idea. Plus having multiple sources has always been suggested in case anything goes wrong with one company you can still have some production.

Kids don’t care about the rating system, it’s the parents that see the label and second guess their decision.

You’ve always been able to do that. Settings > messages > text message forwarding

Everyone has to be RCS.

It’s like imesssge but with non iOS devices

You can also get big power consumption from turning up the voltage and cranking the clock speeds well past their efficient zone. You see that right now with most 40 series cards where turning the clock speeds down a smidge gives you huge power savings at almost no loss in performance.

Cost per MM^2 of die space has only gone up with each process node these last 10 years, so unless you’re paying big money don’t expect big chip.

The 5080 is rumored to be 10% faster, but also use 90% the power. While performance has a normal generational leap, power consumption has gone up to match leaving you with a much smaller actual improvement.

This isn’t for a phone. At least click on the article and read the first sentence.

Lots of chrome, 1 VM with 8 gigs of ram. I was using > 28 gigs of ram on my old laptop so when I got my new one I made sure to get 64.

No, they made it up. There’s nothing special about the USB C port on any Apple products.
