I don't think Uber was doing $1 trillion in infrastructure spend.

Are you sleeping in the back while the Tesla drives? Until you feel comfortable doing so, its stuck in the eternal 90%.

Seems reasonable to me, it's a rearchitecture to move things up to the systemd level where it makes sense for the majority of distributions but still allow alternative implementations.

I wouldn't recommend reading that comment thread, it immediately jumps into "this is fascism!" which is why it's hard to take people seriously sometimes.

I love Zen but it doesn't support TouchID passkey auth on macOS. I'm someone who needs to Okta with multiple times a day, and this drove me to use Vivaldi instead.

This has been a lost cause for the past decade or so. Web developers don't target Firefox anymore because a 5% share isn't enough to matter.

Both projects (Chromium and Firefox) are open, so it's like Linux vs FreeBSD, but at least FreeBSD has a clear licensing advantage.

The difference is in motive. You want to have a cheap energy bill, the energy company wants to make a profit that grows every quarter. Those two goals are eternally at odds.

Tokenmaxing?

Why not just text people? Am I missing something?

I built a Linux gaming PC a few years ago, running Bazzite.

AMD is much better. Nvidia has been improving but stuff "just works" with AMD because the kernel (amdgpu) and userspace (RADV) drivers are open source. Valve is a major RADV contributor too.

I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything with my 9070 XT. Performance is great.

GFiber isn't owned by Google anymore, which is why they changed the name. They're now part of Astound.

Historically the Chromebook target market is students, where this AI will probably be disabled by the school.

Unless these things are much cheaper than a Macbook Neo, I don't see it succeeding.

Something I appreciate about ChromeOS is that updates are basically invisible. I'm worried they're gonna fuck up and overcomplicate something simple by having it run full-blown Android.

Just think of all the times that you're happily using a browser and now these sites are going to demand you install an app after they detected you can because of the user agent. Ugh.

I joked about this on HN a few weeks ago and I find it funny that we ended up here already. Goodhart's Law in action.

For HDMI 2.0. For HDMI 2.1 and 4K/120hz you're looking at north of $25 and don't get VRR support.

Most TVs don't have DisplayPort

They actually fixed the Gitaly thing a month or two ago

Steam Deck starts at almost the same price - $549. The base model was discontinued. The Switch 2 has superior performance, an inferior screen, and comes with the dock + detachable controllers.

I really enjoy ChromeOS, though I'm worried a lot of its simplicity will go away as Google transitions to Android-based laptops. My wife and I use an Asus Chromebook Flip as a kitchen/living room computer that we don't need to think about. No software updates, it just surfs the web and we can flip it into tablet mode if we want to.

I never knew this.

Also if you're in the Boston/Cambridge area, WMBR is a fun and weird listen and clearly sounds like college radio when compared to something like WERS.

The driver exists in the proprietary Steam client, not in SteamOS itself.

They still do that, Valve popularized the concepts of battle passes (with Dota 2) and loot boxes (with Team Fortress 2). They also took a paid game with TF2 and added all that monetization after the fact.

Counter-Strike especially has a pretty nasty gambling scene that Valve refuses to control, even though its only possible because of their marketplace and APIs.

Gotta be fun being a strong and active IC with 15 direct reports.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of that revenue is PlayStation. That's why they've been porting their entire catalog over, claimed the end of exclusives etc.

Last I heard the current Xbox generation has sold less than the last, at approximately 30 million. This gives it about 1/3rd the sales of Sony.

He actually still uses GNOME, at least as recently as 5 months ago.

I'm a KDE user but I get why people like it.

Silver Line was part of the Big Dig, but I agree the North/South Rail Link should have been part of it. Having no direct connection between North Station and South Station is stupid.

But you can't just get rid of 93

But flights emit co2, and a train system is electrified. It can be completely powered by renewables.

Given California's extreme susceptibility to climate related disasters, avoiding flights is a great idea.

And soon we expect everyone to have a mech suit, and only a handful of companies can make one, and they rent it to you and can revoke it at any time.

And what happens when they've saturated the market? Prices go up to the maximum the market can bear, and then they'll extend into other markets. Why rent the model to build a profitable company with when you could just take all that profit for yourself?

I have a bin of plastic instruments lying around somewhere

I wonder how much Claude Code were cost if we were to take the cost of environmental destruction from its energy consumption into account.

A Playdate is $229. A Switch 2 is $499 and a PS5 is $599
