Why mips and not RiscV? I would assume it’s easier to emulate in software and has good support in linux

EDIT: found it

Some architectures had arbitrarily-shifted operands all the time (ARM), some have shitty addressing modes necessitating that they would be slow (RISCV), some would need more than 4KB to even decode instructions (x86), and some were just too complex to emulate in so little space (PPC).

Could it be the pc relative addressing often used on risc-v would be slow to run on 4004?

Jade plants were very popular as house plant in the soviet union, everyone had one at home. This could be a reason why AI got confused there

1.5 ton aluminum bar, chilled to absolute zero. This would be a massive project to setup

Funny you mentioned arch, as steam deck os is based on arch, so it is using arch btw

Hydrogen Sulfide can damage concrete, not sure about the chair tho

It’s the other way around, you will get all of the tickets which are missing plate info. Some guy did it and regrets it, there is a documentary about it.

I remember when Falkon 9 was doing its first landings, the whole YouTube comments section was filled with flat earthers claiming it’s a CGI. Now you can take a car and go watch landings in person, I wonder where all those people went.

The same law which makes gun recoil happen. If you fire a pistol in vacuum you would still get the same recoil or even stronger. The rocket engine fires a lot of gas molecules instead of bullets at much higher velocity than a bullet, which gives it the constant push/recoil

There are cases when electricians working on the street to restore power get shocked by some house generator feeding power back to the grid.

What does it say? I can’t read greek

It’s in the photo look closer

For example when watching 1080p youtube video in Safari the power consumption is only 0.1watt because it’s using hardware decoders. (not including display backlight, I can’t measure it). But when I play the same video in firefox which is using software decoding the consumption is around 0.7w which is not as good as hw decoders, but still less than a watt

no, it’s just an easy sustained load that can be measured accurately. If you have some other application that provides sustained load but doesn’t spin all the cores to 100% please suggest it, I will try.

I did some actual measurements just to confirm it, here is minecraft in default configuration running @ 100fps and the cpu+gpu consumption is around 6w in total. If you add about 5w for display backlight and other components the total would be 9-10 hours of play time on my 100wh battery.

Can you please take the same measurements on your system? Maybe ryzen system is better than intel, never had one.

Just don’t buy an 8gb model, easy fix) But seriously when you get a laptop which allows you to work 8 hours straight from battery and then have 30% capacity left at the end of a day, there is no chance you would get back to the Intel system and plug it in every 2 hours.

You talk about high prices however there is no actual competition. High end systems like Dell XPS and others cost the same as M3. You do get some benefits like touch screen or whatever but you get shitty touchpad and 3 hours of battery life.

In regards to the software I agree macOS is not the best, but maybe you noticed the topic is about Fedora Linux so you do have options now.

Current apple systems are objectively superior. The display image quality is better than competition, the touchpad hardware is better, CPU is top 1 in the world in single thread performance and the battery life is unrivaled.

If you talk about the repairability it only matters in case it breaks and it only happens to a small % of the owners. Most people won’t need to repair it. However you do use your device every day, so why would you give up the better user experience? Because of a small chance you would need to pay for repairs later, or even at all? It doesn’t make sense.

The same argument applies to upgrades as well. If you think you’ll need an upgrade just buy a bigger version from the start. It may be more expensive but once again you get a better experience overall.
