spookware··on Wish HN: Happy Holidays
Thanks.
spookware··on Windows for Arm on M1 Mac Successfully Virtualized
When Apple, Google, and all ARM based things actually run something other than Angry Birds, Chinese Adware Strange Rope Hero and Pokemon ripoff games for babies with video and malware app adds and closed "walled garden" "app store" ecosystems where you have to pay $10 or more for even an mp3 or video player, let me know. Otherwise all this mysterious "performance" is even more useless than a 75mhz Pentium from 1996. When anyone can actually program for ARM without "licensing fees" also let me know.
spookware··on That UPS you bought for your home server may not be as useful as you think
I work on these all the time. Problem is normally cheap charger. Try and find a ups that puts load on the batteries everyonce and a while. Good luck. This is hard and never done. We got sick of UPS sitting there for sometimes years and then when needed - batteries collapse and the whole thing comes crashing down.

I have worked on UPS that are in charge of maintaining power to DP systems. When they fail you get things like oil rigs pulling off station costing millions. The company I work for just finished putting batter powered thrusters on an oil rig. First one ever.

Don't have a job right now. Rather sad.

Good points. Just another tax that will be passed straight down to the consumer. Wonder why no wage growth for 10+ years? Will do nothing for the enviroment. "Better not go on that holiday because of the enviroment "

spookware··on Stop and Shop now has big, goofy-looking robots patrolling its aisles
It should have a big e-stop on the robot. This is to insure that if it runs over kids or malfunctions then you can shut it down.
