  • If it were closed and susidized, you'd have to try "opening" the hardware before installing any other operating system.

  • The instant messengers on the smart phones might have played a critical role. Whatsapp started in 2009.Texting and driving is a thing, so there's a way to derive causation and not only correlation from that....it triggers a certain kind of rage/hate in me when I spot people texting and driving, which I usually do several times each day.

  • I love your posts/articles/reports 🤗

  • Contracting as in having the reflection pool painted?

  • So better make sure there are no survivors.Message understood.Playing fair in a rigged game is a sure way to lose.

  • My thought exacty.

  • If you can't get convicted by a national court because of international waters, sink the next ship that gets caught doing shenenigans and see how no conviction is possible.They can't have it both ways.

  • If you're an adult, at your workplace and react/interact like this, something very important is still alive and thriving in you.

  • Do you have links for these claims?Not saying I don't believe it, I just want to read about it myself.Btw. I think you used sea mile as reference when converting miles into kilomeres. 1 million milles would be more like 1.6 million kilometres.

  • Are you sure about hard drives at $1 per meg at that time?It sounds way to cheap.

  • It can go higher than the 8 watts, though.The 8 watts are with rather low CPU load, but with 1 SATA SSD and 1 NVMe SSD.At full CPU load I expect it to be closer to 15 watts. With what the device is runningn high load happens rarely and not for long.

  • As others mentioned used SFF PCs, here's my recommendation based on my own experience.

    I bought several used Dell Wyse 5070. The 5070 was announced in May 2018 and used as thin client.They're tiny, silent (no fan) and you can fit a NVMe SSD via adapter (PCIe A/E key -> M key) in the WiFi card slot next to a SATA SSD. I picked the ones with Intel Celeron J4105 (Quad Core) with 1.5GHz, up to 2.5GHz burst and put 32 GB RAM in one of them (that was before prices went nuts).Beware, only if you pick the right dual ranked RAM modules (e.g. Patriot PSD416G26662S), you can have a max. of 2x16 GB. To start your journey, 4 or 8 GB might just be enough and don't cost an arm and a leg.Now I have a PVE (Proxmox Virtual Environment) running with several virtual servers and lxc, one 5070 hosts a PBS (Proxmox Backup Server) and both devices are far from their limit. In case of hardware failure I have spare 5070s.Each 5070 cost around $65 and runs at around 8 watts at average. Dunno about current prices though.

    It fits my needs and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.Maybe it fits your needs as well?

  • I'm afraid you're right.My comment was meant to sound tongue-in-cheek.

  • Wen consumer mainboards with HBM?

  • So many parallels with the dot-com bubble and so much FOMO.But the computer hardware shortage / price skyrocketing caused by the AI bros is a really bad extra.

  • Sounds like you're letting 'perfect' be the enemy 'good'.An OS not being abused by Google or Apple to corral users is good enough for me.I couldn't care less whether it's proprietary in this case.

    Give me a fully open source phone, that's capable of being a daily driver without funneling data to Google or Apple and we're talking!How nice that people can have different requirements for their phones 😉

  • ...as would the users...
