Cryptoland IRL!

In principle, I agree with you.

Considering Lemmy/Threadiverse’s DAUs/MAUs, an argument can be made that discoverability, user engagement and on-boarding needs work.

While I was not able to confirm that this does indeed run linux, considering it’s based on a Raspberry Pi, the probability is very high.

I wouldn’t say it’s that bad.

AMD during the Bulldozer era was in a worse position IMO.

The Apollo investment may not be all that bad. If anything the $5 billion would give the company some more breathing room.

Qualcomm buying out Intel would be terrible for competition.

I was a little bit disappointed by GSMarena for using a verbatim headline instead of adding terms like “manufacturer provided” and/or “alleged”.

I am also hoping for a lot of drama, like cockroach eyes trying to steal baldy’s design or copy it by claiming ChatGPT magically came up with the same design.

This really is the only way if we want competition (lower prices) and choice. All actual revenues would be derived from service provision (consulting, customization, tech support, certification).

From a “small c” capitalism perspective, it is not normal that MS, Nvidia, Apple have such insane margins. Competition should have forced them to lower prices while offering the same level of products/services.

They want a fully CCP-controlled OS.

Did not know that. But that that’s exactly how it is supposed to work.

The latest version of Harmony is supposed to be fully independent with its own kernel, userland, UI/UX, application format and all that jazz. Earlier versions were based on AOSP.

I doubt this is aimed at Western markets. Mostly mainland China (even Apple with its arrogant “digital privacy” marketing, fully cooperates with the CCP in mainland China) and possibly some other countries like Pakistan or nations in Africa without a big PC installed base.

Mastadon has a huge far right population?

It’s a compelling device for its form factor. Very solid specs for a pretty competitive price. You could also potentially get an OCuLink eGPU in the future.

I do believe industrial scale sodium battery systems are ramping up.

There is likely some level of industrial inertia and ramp-up impact.

It really is exciting to see alternative battery systems beginning to see wider commercialization.

I am not aware of sodium-ion batteries for home use, I believe it’s mostly for industrial-scale battery systems. I could be wrong though, would be interested in learning more.

In an apartment setting, IMO the current gold standard is LiFePO4 (Lithium iron phosphate) batteries.

I live in Ukraine and we have constant problems with electricity supply (thank you dear russians). At times you have 1-2 full charge/discharge cycles per day on a 1 Kilowatt-hour battery system. Several LiFePO4 systems in my extended family seem to work close to baseline even after 1.5 years (not used daily though).

I have not seen any options for sodium-ion batteries for home use, but this maybe a local thing.

In a more rural/suburban setting, generators work as backup power supplies for most people. Typically only the well off get a high capacity LiFePO4 systems for house setting.

It is very likely.

So it happened after all. I wonder if the spinned off will be able to survive independently.

Surprised to see them to reject those massive EU subsidies.

I was surprised to see that their negotiations broke down because of price/cost as opposed to technology (unproven node and to my knowledge intel doesn’t really have any experience with semi-custom x86 business).

Interesting.

Looking forward to the update, this is a much needed feature if you post a lot, since image scrapping simply doesn’t work.

Cheers!
