ArgyleSound··on Doubling the PinePhone storage speed with a soldering iron
I guess the one thing this article doesn’t answer is why the default hardware configuration is for the slower transfer rate? Is there some downside to this mod?
ArgyleSound··on Amazon to stop accepting UK Visa credit cards
It still applies in the UK, just not between UK-EU transactions because those are cross border now
ArgyleSound··on M1 Pro 14“ MacBook Pro Running KDE Plasma 5 on Arch Linux ARM
He suggested that you can't find a similar or better quality display for $1000, not that it's the best display that exists.

At that price point you can find something that, at best, meets three of the criteria you've listed while heavily compromising on the rest.

ArgyleSound··on M1 Pro and M1 Max MBP owners complain of crashes playing HDR YouTube videos
That's definitely not the case, all 4K HDR videos are VP9 for me on YouTube with Safari
ArgyleSound··on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W die shots
Which ones? I'm only aware of boards that aren't anywhere near the £5-35 price class the Raspberry Pis inhabit, and even then there's just absolutely nothing like the third party ecosystem that the Pis have.
ArgyleSound··on M1 Pro First Impressions: Core Management and CPU Performance
I am very Interested in a good mobile Windows/Ryzen laptop with a MacBook Air-comparable form factor, performance, and battery life. Please link if you know of one.

All the Intel machines I've looked into have fans and still manage to be 30-50% slower.

ArgyleSound··on Raspberry Pi 4 achieves Vulkan 1.1 conformance, gets GPU performance boost
Power efficiency for one.
ArgyleSound··on First Impressions with the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
it's on a FAT partition, you can edit it by plugging the sd card into something else
ArgyleSound··on Intel Alder Lake Mobility CPU Faster Than Apple M1 Max
There's a 100Wh restriction on laptop batteries imposed by civil aviation, which the 16" MacBook Pro hits, so this is not a problem that can simply be solved with thicker chassis and larger batteries either.
ArgyleSound··on MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch
They very much put some numbers on performance in the keynote, you can go back and watch it.

The Max:

10.4 tflops

327 gtexels/sec

164 gpixels/sec

ArgyleSound··on The Framework is the most exciting laptop I've used
Please show some evidence - MacBooks are so widespread that it should be very easy to find something backing this up if it were the case.
ArgyleSound··on The Framework is the most exciting laptop I've used
But it's literally not true. I am typing this from my M1 MacBook with the bottom panel open just to prove this point.
ArgyleSound··on The Framework is the most exciting laptop I've used
For what it's worth I don't think Apple has actually ever done this, and whatever made him believe they do was probably some other oversight during their disassembly/reassembly of the laptop
ArgyleSound··on Thoughts.page: hosting a small webpage for your thoughts
Knowing what people employed in similar roles to you earn helps you bargain for an equivalent salary
ArgyleSound··on NetBSD/Evbarm on Apple Silicon
Have you seen Asahi’s documentation?

ArgyleSound··on Cuba′s Covid vaccine rivals Pfizer, Moderna
I agree too. I look forward to Cuba allowing third parties to corroborate their results.
ArgyleSound··on Cuba′s Covid vaccine rivals Pfizer, Moderna
The Lancet publishing data does not mean the data is correct, they do not verify it. It's all based on trust.
ArgyleSound··on Brazil Rejects the Gamaleya Vaccine
Typically Ad5 causes upper respiratory tract infections which may manifest as a cold if you’re lucky or lead to pneumonia if you’re not, although things like conjunctivitis and gastroenteritis are not unheard of. Obviously we don’t know how applicable this knowledge is to the Sputnik Ad5.
ArgyleSound··on Brazil Rejects the Gamaleya Vaccine
> I agree this is about quality control and it is extremely unlikely to affect vaccine efficacy. (If anything, it would improve vaccine efficacy.)

I don’t think you can say this with much certainty, if the viruses either regained or never lost E1, it’s also possible that the same is true with E3 which modulates immune response.

Also, either of these genes could’ve replaced the Coronavirus spike protein.

ArgyleSound··on Brazil Rejects the Gamaleya Vaccine
The vaccine described in the paper published in The Lancet was explicitly described as using an replication deficient Ad5 vector, while the vaccine received by Brazil seems to have been replication competent.

Considering Slovakia also said that Russia did not deliver a vaccine matching the characteristics of the one in The Lancet, I think those data are basically irrelevant now.

ArgyleSound··on The most effective malaria vaccine yet discovered
9 people? I don’t think you can really say it’s more effective based on this data.
ArgyleSound··on Berlin rent cap overturned by Germany's top court
That’s why it’s bad but not why it was found unconstitutional
ArgyleSound··on Pfizer 91% effective in updated data, protective against South African variant
Unless you withdraw from society, it will unfortunately remain an issue
ArgyleSound··on AstraZeneca vaccine safe and effective in U.S., Chile, Peru trials
Please don’t start moronic conspiracy theories
ArgyleSound··on A lost tourist who thought Maine was San Francisco
Cheap hotels isn’t it
ArgyleSound··on Hardware SAS Raid on the Raspberry Pi CM4
Why not get a CM4 with the IO Board? PCIe on the regular Raspberry Pi seems too niche for them to consider.
ArgyleSound··on South Africa suspends rollout of Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine
You’re 50% more likely to develop symptoms from the virus after vaccination
ArgyleSound··on I Have Resigned from the Google AMP Advisory Committee
OS Ten Eleven?
ArgyleSound··on Linux on iPad
What? Android’s kernel is a pretty close derivative of upstream Linux while iOS’ kernel has almost nothing to do with any current BSD distribution.
