Jesus Overcomplicating Christ. I have a similar device that I built (ESP32 + eInk display) and the server is a single python script on my home media center which uses headless chrome to render an html page that shows my calendar and some other info to an image and send said image back to the requestor to display onscreen.

Please demonstrate that crash on “less -n” or vim with no plugins. I just happily opened a multi gb file in both. No issue

> Editors don’t even open those files.

vi opens multi-GB files just fine.

And for multi-TB files, "less -n" works.

You need to broaden your horizons about editors. Not all of then are javascript-based slopfests

Depressing and worrisome. But at least there is a small funny bit to it. When the president was a Democrat, Facebook did this to Republicans. When the president’s a Republican, they do it to Democrats. Evidently, they don’t even have a side. They just flip-flop to support whoever is in charge

Scroll to bottom. "Posted in" section, click "XR and AR". 404 error. So unprofessional.

> since you'd need an MMU for that.

Or PIC code... PalmOS 5 & 6 allowed multiple programs in same memory and they were simply compiled pic. MMU was not used

Some architectures (ARM, RISCV, aarch64) are well suited for this kind of code. Others are extremely poorly suited (x86, MIPS), but all CAN do it

It was the logical conclusion of your claim that multicore score matters more. Lots of tasks are serial not parallel, that is why single core score matters.

I've ordered hundreds of things from JLC over the last decade. Both bare boards and assembled boards based on my own designs that I uploaded, BOMs i provided, and sometimes even special parts I had shipped to them. All ordered boards arrived to me just fine over their cheap shipping (name varied often, last i recall was "direct standard line") and over DHL, and precisely zero times was I asked for my SSN.

multi core scores? So you'll happily accept a 100,000-core pentium one class CPU to replace your laptop? it will have higher multicore score. No? Really? Oh? why not?

the champagne color for airs looks really nice when worn too, but i mirror your sentiments on black - it does not age well

I always look for a way to disable it

in my original post, i said "perf", i am not sure what you imagined, but i am not moving anything, geekbench single core score is a perfectly reasonable thing to measure under the name "perf"

I did. I am seeing single core geekbench scores of 2700 compared to my MacBook Air at 3500. This, for a laptop that is thicker and heavier than my air.

If you look at the platform name and the kernel code you'l realize that this is not even remotely true. The base M chips are T8xxx which are (more or less) just iPad chips. The pro/max/ultra are T6xxx and are their own new thing, starting with M1 pro which was T6000

Neither of those have comparable perf

Back in the mid 2000s, Palm sold Treo smartphones with the camera removed, for high-security places that forbade cameras. Why do I tell this story? It means there is (was) a market for it. I would LOVE and iPad mini with the camera (and its bump) removed. A nice thin slab.

No you do not. Go buy a Fairphone

> Elon Musk scam makes Theranos, ENRON looks like a kinder garden children.

What is the scam? I do not like EVs and do not own a Tesla car, but Tesla does make them, they do work, and people do like them. Theranos, by comparison, never delivered (nor could deliver) what they promised. So I am not sure I get your comparison.

Nobody said they have to provide you an SDK for free. This was not always the case in the past, and such times can come again.

Impatiently waiting for mobileconfig settings to disable all alt appstores. same reason.

SMP, sleep-wake now works ~90% of the time compared to then's 10%, network drivers are more likely to support a random network card. Linux has improved a lot (a simpler task, as is started out being quite ... amateurish)

> never used to personally check all my colleagues work, either,

Jesus F Christ! No wonder most software lately (~decade) has been shit. Have y'all not heard of code review? Or did you think it just for show...you sit on a change for a week and then press "Accept" without reading it?

I do not get this kind of complaint. Every thing you consider an important part of your life today (including cars and smartphones) started out as toys for rich kids. Complaining about it is asking to go back to the stone age, because all the advancements since were brought to you by someone's desire to make money and someone else being rich enough to afford it, till economies of scale made the poor old you able to afford it too.

Support has costs. Fine. I consider purchases under $500 to not include support, and treat them all as "sold as is"

However, if I need support and cannot reach a real living breathing human in under 30 min regarding any purchase over $500, I hang up, call AmEx and file a chargeback, citing inability to gain support. So far they have backed me every time. If enough people do it, chargeback costs send the message.
