The Mac mini will definitely draw more than 20W. TDP numbers can also not be compared between manufacturers at all. And last but not least, for a single core test, maximum power consumption is irrelevant.
Is it as secure as they say? Then it doesn't matter if all the money Apple has is the reward, because nobody can get it. A max bounty of $50 000 for "Accidental or unexpected data disclosure due to deployment or configuration issue" is silly low.
Some places in Europe, peoples personal income, fortune, and tax, is already publicly available. But that is not true for the EU.
BMW platforms now are both for ICE and EV, but "Neue klasse" that will start to arrive soon is a from-scratch, new, electric only platform. That will really make the cars more spacious. The sportiest platform is supposedly architected for 1350 hp, so it will be interesting to see if BMW will take up the lap time fight with Porsche. That would be interesting.
And yeah, VAT and GST is annoying. Terrible for small businesses.
Either you're not looking at this clearly, or it's actually quite impressive that they can spend no time on school and still get ok grades.
The browser is unstable, has had large amounts of bugs and race conditions, refuses to add features that can make the browser a better competitor for apps unless forced to by regulation, and so on... Safari on iOS is garbage, and that's the way Apple wants it to be. It just has to be OK so that iOS users don't understand how bad it really is.
Literally 15 minutes ago a customer asked me if I could add push notification support for iOS, as Apple has refused to do so on iOS for many many years. But Apple did add it when the pressure around competition increased, so now it should work with updated iOS.
Apple is a shit company for consumers, and they are actively sabotaging the web to increase their profits. This is not just something I'm saying. When Apple was forced to allow other browsers in the EU, they announced that they would turn off support for progressive web apps in the EU(apps added to the home screen, push notifications they just added because they were afraid of this and so on). They did go back on it after developer pushback. I haven't looked into this, but I'm pretty sure that Apple has done something to make sure other browsers can't develop PWA features. Cause that is what Apple does.
By default, quickly doubletapping the power button also opens the camera, screen on or not.
Gesture navigation is also better on Android, but this is probably because iOS never had a back button.
I had been doing software development for 4 years and I figured I'd rather work with that than automation and electronics. I had a side project(game) that was earning some money.
Note that this was in Norway so I could have (and still can) go to university for free.
My girlfriend ended up getting a masters degree in software development and is currently working in a consultant firm. She's currently tanking another masters degree in entrepreneurship, mostly for fun.
I've always doubted my skills, but after helping her out every now and then I've realized that 10+ years of experience really can't be matched by going to school.
On the other hand I've also learned that university is a great way to kick off your learning. Some things they're learning are things I often ended up with too, on my own, with trial and error. At least I really understand why some things are what they are because of it.
I started very young and was quite successful with my first project. People has spent thousands of years(combined) actively using my first project.
But even though I have done well, I still feel like I'm taken less serious than those with a full education, cause I've just created a strange game.
I'm considering going to university now just to get cheaper insurance and the degree, but I don't expect I'd learn a lot of new things. But I do enjoy fiddling with stuff, so it might be fun.
Do I regret it? Not really. Am I worried? Slightly, if it all falls down then I need to get a normal job or come up with something else.
Would I recommend it? If you're really driven and are already seeing signs of success, sure, give it a shot.
This defenitly wasn't complex in any shape or form. This was very basic.
But no. Instead they make more proprietary shit without having the basic skills to do so. Then they force that shit on their users.
Any examples? You can't reverse it if the data is gone.
I actually think everyone aced it and ends up in the 80-100 percentile group. "This site says I know more than 80-100% of users" is good for word of mouth marketing.
Google: "Created a timer for 15 minutes, how long do you want it to last?"
There is also hilarious things going on with Google assistant on iOS. Like Norwegian with English pronunciation.
These voice assistants are terrible. Sure, they are better that before, but still really bad. And it's even worse in other languages than English where stuff like the above happens.
