I might be blind but I'm using 2x4K 32" displays on macOS and the fonts still look like paper to me. It was funny because every Apple commentator I had listened to made it seem like my retin…

The EU demand gave them a deadline more than anything. It was pretty clear they were moving to USB-C at some point.

That’s most places humans live isn’t it?

I was very happy to get symmetric Gig internet at my new place but very bummed that my ISP doesn’t offer IPv6. I had enjoyed learning about and deploying it on my LAN whenever Comcast added support (S…

I would think ZFS would suck on a 1GB machine due to likely being a 32 bit machine. If you had a 1GB in a 64 bit rig it should be fine. ZFS does have its own cache (influenced by being Solaris native…

They can subsidize the costs of developing fast chips with iPhone margins and then use the faster chip tech in their computers.

I don’t think I came across anyone suggesting zfs dedupe without insisting that it was effectively broken except for very specific workloads.

That was always FUD more or less. ZFS uses RAM as its primary cache…like every other filesystem, so it if you have very little RAM for caching the performance will degrade…like every other filesystem.

You don’t consider HN social media?

Only 426,875 years of Kali Yuga left!

I'd be curious if Amazon is exploiting their market position somehow but frankly they're just better than the competition. Every time I got to a brick and mortar retailer beyond Aldi I regre…

Facebook is huge but what monopoly power does it hold? Me and many of my friends never interact with Meta and it hasn't been an issue. This isn't the case with Google.

I think that ship sailed a while ago. I was doing retail work around COVID and there were many many people who didn't have the decency to hold phone calls while checking out let alone taking off …

Isn't part of the ethos of the laptop being fully hackable? I'd assume you could design the case to your liking or upgrade the SoC.

? since 2016 Ryzen made intel have to compete again and the 2020 M-series from Apple made day long battery life a reality. CPUs have been very interesting the past 8 years or so.

I agree! I love my ASRock Rack board (X570si). I had written off ASRock as "budget" but it's been rock solid and had loads of features like you said.

There's ASRock Rack boards with X470, X570, X670, etc. chipsets that take standard AM4/AM5 chips and have loads of server features like IPMI and ECC (I think that's already common on th…

NixOS is not a rolling distro.

It would be nice if we had a 100% income tax so the State could never run out of money to fund more programs for the anti-social.

Yeah that's a very doable build on AM4 Ryzen. I'd hope someone with C++ chops to hack on Chrome would be able to afford that.

Oh duh, yeah I guess most devices don't support/need 10Gb so why not just use 10Gb in a couple places - good point.

I'm curious what people with >1Gbps service are running for their home networks. I'm setting up a bunch of new Unifi gear 90% of it is 1Gbps speed, this is prosumer gear too so I'm …

Doesn't this ignore SpaceX being American?

Yeah, I’m perfectly fine using my Apple devices but if your relationship with a company is that strained stop buying their products.

MS seems to be continuing to push xCloud with Games Pass. It has been useful when playing games with my friends a few times.

Both are FOSS and self-hostable. I assumed it was implied "a lot of people" meant "a lot of people [who self-host]", especially when the post is linking to the server software not …

I think a lot of people may prefer WriteFreely’s Go stack vs. WordPresses PHP - for right or wrong reasons.

You can use "Content Blockers" on iOS, they add ad-blocking to Safari. I quite like the (paid) Wipr one.
