Comparatively, yes - that’s auditory masking for you. On a relatively quiet place like a home, these will sound like rats running wild in your pipes.

Oops, yes. I definitely would expect these to be much louder than your 6 GB 1998 model HDD wrangling under stress of copying files at 30 MB/s.

If you eyeballing these, please remind that these babies tend to be LOUD AS FUCK, so might not be suitable for home server use.

This game feels like the perfect candidate for streaming from XCloud/GeForce Now since all those data doesn’t really need to be transferred all the time. And the game’s design can tolerate a bit input latency.

It’s terrible with direct streaming lossless Dolby Atmos (TrueHD) streams, not only where it’s not possible but there are workarounds (AppleTV / Infuse), but also on each and every platform it’s being done by other apps (Android, Xbox, PC / Kodi).

I only use it because I paid peanuts for lifetime premium and alternatives have egregious UX that I can withstand but my extended family cannot.

I was there when Microsoft COFEE released on WhatCD. And it appears I’ll be there when the certain villains’s coke party released on RED.

That being said, I left Spotify after 18 years recently because my money wasn’t going to artists I listen anyway. Bandcamp + SoulSeek + Lidarr is the way.

You don’t even have to be using the strong contender. I’ve switched to Ecosia and my reach to interesting stuff increased tenfold. SearXNG also spewing what I’m exactly asking for.

Point is, it’s near impossible to find a dumb tv with good specs. Like LG is producing no-smart version of LG C3 (best display ever so far), but it’s only sold to businesses.

It would still take 375000 Rooneys to deplete Musk’s wealth.

Kill the techno-feudal lords.

People doing production on their MacBooks might be a target per the small form factor.

Same argument can be valid for Apple as well.

Although it may look like Windows is a platform for any-hardware, reality is MS can and does push manufacturers to shape hardware as it’s desire, like forcing all mainboards to have TPM.

So if I want to invest at RISC V companies, where should I look?

…It took them only 4 years to follow the leader this time.

Yeah, visually there are alternatives on Android, but there were a few features built into WP that Android doesn’t fundamentally support that made the whole difference.

Like having your SO’s all accounts merged under a single node, and seeing everything related to her, be it from WhatsApp, Mail, SMS, Photo Shares etc inside a single tile was awesome. Can Android do that in 2024?

Yeah, I agree.

The main incentive twirled around UWP mentality, “Write one app that works on Windows, WP and Xbox automagically”.

I think it was a fucking-a-star idea that could gather fresh developers to a big potential userbase. And surprisingly, it worked for a time as well.

But MS again cold-feeted the platform themselves in a short span and scared everyone.

I actually witnessed many brilliant developers wrote their very first C# code with UWP, only to spin out to other platforms later as WinPhone’s apparent neglect. PocketCasts and Flipboard are two that went very successful on other platforms.

To be honest, Windows Phone OS was a marvel in terms of user experience and design language. It was a fresh breath on interacting and utilizing the new always online world.

Calling it ‘Bad Software’ is not fair at all.

Too bad MS picked every possible bad decision to cripple it, starting with not putting it’s weight behind the OS at all.

I really, really miss the feeling of being in control of my whole digital existence with just a single glance.

Producing a really high end CPU just be muscle flexing. Anybody can do that. Having apps run on it is a whole another story.

What Apple done right with M1 was not producing a powerful Arm CPU, but having old apps run on it so everyday people won’t be thrown into an unknown territory.

I’m too, looking forward to RISCV’s expansion though. MS could just skip ARM and adopt the better platform.

Last time I checked, these Snapdragons burning five times more electricity to reach M3 levels.

They quit Mini business at iPhone 13.
